    Nice work on Shanahan there too.

    I’m trying to stay positive, I really am…but I can’t deal with another game 7 shitty effort. Win it in game 6…because this sub will rightfully burn if they lose in 7 (is it bad that I’m gearing up for the worst case because we’ve seen this before).

    Only the Leafs can out-Leaf themselves. I pray they don’t this year

    Haha fantastic comic, Brian. Poor Timmy. On one hand, he deserves a look and Holl has been hurting us at 5v5. On the other, I don’t know if Timmy is going to be prepared for the onslaught if he does come in, and if he fucks up, he might collapse under the weight of his mistake. I don’t know what the right move is here with SO MUCH PRESSURE on the Leafs to perform. You could absolutely tell that Holl was rattled after that second goal last night… How would Lily handle such pressure?

    Lily’s facial expression here is legit one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

    Iā€™m not sure that would be an upgrade, unfortunately

    Is it confirmed Lily will be playing game 6? He shouldā€™ve been playing all series, but Keefe loves him some Holl, I wonā€™t believe Keefe actually benches Holl until I see it.

    The Leafs played absolutely trash hockey last night. They gave no effort into the game, it was like watching House League hockey. What in the fuck. The game was soo slow. They always do this, no matter the coach or players. I believe the problem is with the owners. We as people have voices and our voice needs to be heard. We need to call out the owners & put pressure on them to perform. Or else we will never win that cup, I would love to celebrate with my wife & all of my maple leaf peeps on here & the rest of Toronto.

    Keefe isnā€™t one to back away from his players. I can see him keeping Holl in for his confidence. We had 3 d men last night that could have been sat. Lily hasnā€™t played in weeks – tough call. I can see Bunting coming in for either Lafferty or ZAR – but Iā€™d almost go with the former.

    Perfect representation of what had a major impact on the Leafs last night. Holl being given the opportunity to play once again and is once again on for all (or most) of the goals against Toronto.

    I would say that I’m surprised but I am not. I watched them do this against Tampa, Boston, Montreal, and the Los Angeles Kings before just to name a few. Like I said then, either get it done or lose again…

    This is accurate.

    Holl was bad last game, needs to sit a game or two and reset.

    Honestly, if we lose this series I am putting on Keefe. Yes he did well in the regular season after the tough start. Yes he is a very winning coach. But he’s getting his ass handed to him by Cooper…who now has a lesser team (outside their experience).

    If we lose this series, Keefe has to go. We’re not blowing up a great team like we have. No way in hell. Bring in someone else. Like Bruce.

    This is a coaching problem. Not a player problem. This is the best team we’ve had in 30 years. We just cant rip it half up and have another fruitless go under this coach.

    Edit: calls for Dubas’ head are silly. He has been next to masterful.
