Bolts have been dominating most of this series, as they did tonight again.
They have been outplayed 4 out of the 5 games thats sad you think they would come out skating and forchecking their butts off but no another crap start again waiting until 5 minutes left in game to really try .If they cant get up for this game st home with that crowd buzzing like that then sorry to tell you folks its over
They are fighting to win way too late. 3 straight games now, and only the last 7-8 minutes of the game are they firing on all cylinders. Not good enough for the playoffs. You get what you give.
That said… and as always…. #GoLeafsGO šššš„
Statistically speaking, more often than not, teams who are up 3-1 in a series lose the game 5 that could have eliminated their foe.
to be fair tonight sammy should have had the 2nd one, 3rd one kampf actally tripped him right before it went in. holl was on the ice and lost his man on all three goals. thats the greatest issue at hand. lilly for game 6 please. also bunting not playing in favour of lafferty?? come one keefe…..
We have a Vasy. You don't. It's not like he hasn't PROVEN to be one of the ALL TIME playoff goalies. Best of luck Leaf Fan. You;re gonna need it.
Letās Go Blue Jays lol ššš
oh no here we go again… get to 3 wins quick then we let lightings win .. just like every dam years
No worries. It's virtually impossible to lose year after year, especially having held a series lead. Sooner or later, the leafs will benefit from a tip, a bounce, a screen shot, a puck off the face and in, and the series will be won. It's time. Note: not a leafs fan, just a realist.
TIMBER!!!!!!
Smacked the like button hard. I've been watching a lot of Toronto fan's reactions to games in this series and although I am very happy Tampa is hanging in there, it is tough watching you guys try the cheer for the Leafs when they are struggling to win every time.
C'mon bro, did you really think y'all were gonna just run through the LIGHTNING ā” and on to the 2nd round?? Now you're going back to TAMPA and it's not gonna go well for the leafs, Toronto, game 4 was your last win!!
Leafs in 6! Go Leafs Go!!
Not doom and gloom yet! Leafs essentially were trying to sweep Tampa Bay after the GM1 nightmare. Leafs haven't made any decent lineup adjustments for 3 GMs cuz what they had has been working and now we lost a game where it didn't work and now the Leafs have the opportunity to adjust from this game and give themselves the best chance to win on Saturday. IMO Bunting slots back in and someone from the 4th line comes out ( Lafferty is my pick played slightly over 6Mins and had a +/- of -2. not good enough ) Bunting can at least log 12 – 15mins per game and be more effective as a player but his temperament is the thing stopping him but usually when Bunting is downgraded in the lineup, he comes out to play. Bunting, ROR, and Acciari would be an absolute headache for Tampa especially if you match them up to Tampa's 3rd Line of Jeannot, Paul, and Hagel. Jarnkrok should move either down to the 4th line with Kampf and ZAR because he hasn't been of help offensively but he still takes shots on goal which the 4th line just doesn't seem to do enough of. Secondary scoring matters and Tampa has been getting the benefit from their players but not Toronto. Kerfoot, JT, and Nylander are our 2nd line and generally worked well at times during the season. If that line lacks scoring during the game then you flip Kerfoot and O Reilly and load up the two lines and Knies deserves an opportunity to play a Full Game with Matthews and Marner at this point and see where it goes? D Corp stays the same I just don't see Keefe bringing in Liljgrenn cold for a Do or Die GM6 in Tampa it just doesn't compute but Keefe is right in saying that the D needs to be better and the blame is not to be placed solely on Holl here. I will remain cautiously optimistic for Saturday but if this series does go to 7 then my optimism goes out the window at that point. Another major fear is Keefe goes 11/7 on Saturday and If he does I might mentally break a bit but we just gotta shrug this off and move forward and hope for the best GLG!
What is so funny is …..
In other NHL cities, fans will say , hey we are still up 3 games to 2. We can do this next game!
This kind of anxiety only exist in Toronto
I cant find this kind of despair and pressure when your team is up 3 games to 2…..
Only in Toronto
That to me is the saddest thing… i am not talking about the game.
Someone has to lose..i understand that concept
Now, despite the team is technically still up 3 games to 2, not its a panick time in Toronto.
To make a comparison,
My best friend cheers for Edmonton oilers..he told me today…
Hey, if we lose game 6 in LA, we can win this series at home in Game 7 in Edmonton, No problem !
Not only is he confident his team can win, he is not overly concerned about potential game 7…
Leafs Nation on the other hand…..
Justin Holl has been out for 15 of Tampas 20 goals š this coach's ego will cost us this series
See ya in game seven leads are destined to fail to destroy hope in us fans…I hate them
If holl plays saturday we're done…keefe refuses to acknowledge reality…he might even play 7 dman just to get a reason to play holl…watch that will likely happen…
Not even a contest.Tampa was in control playing like a team, Leafs looked like they had no idea how to play offense hockey. It's over.
the Demons are back f
When we are down in the third, OUR building is QUIET. Says it ALL. some serious problems with this team and fanbase.
I think we ALL said HOll should sit. WTF are dubas and keefe thinking?
the X-factor is will to win.
we got outplayed in games 3-4 too. refs handed us the win in game 3 with the point callback.
I hate to say this Leasfs fans, but you have just witnessed the beginning of the collapse . Tampa in 7.
It's truly PATHETIC how Leafs fans go through life. You HYPE YOUR TEAM ALL YEAR and as soon as playoffs start………. COMES THE SUCKING!!!!! Leafs ARE A GOOD TEAM, but that's all. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT GONNA BE THEIR SEASON. GET OVER IT!!! GET A LIFE.
GAME 7 that's IT GAME OVER LEAFS FAN'S
If leafs lose game 6, their season is certified to be over because they always CHOKE game 7.
It may be that while the Oilers on the weekend close out their 1st-round series with a win over the Kings, the Leafs will win NEITHER game 6 NOR 7. I'm not ready to write off the Leafs as a potential 1st-round playoff series winner although should it become clear, no later than with just under 5 minutes to go in the 3rd period of game 7, the Laughs are so far behind they're unlikely to come back, I likely will then predict that effective soon after that, the Leafs will be 1st-round exit champions once again.
We've all been down this road before. We know exactly where it ends.
Hey a Bruins fan, we got are own problems, but i smashed the Like button, Well Done
I just googled and found out.
Leafs tickets for game 5;
Cheapest Seat: $604
Cheapest Lower Bowl: $803
Best seat available Platinum: $11,132
Vasy is heating up and Sammy is regressing.
It's over.
Tough loss. They gotta get Holl outta there. I also expect Bunting to be back in next game.
That second goal canāt go in! The third goal, Samsonov was completely out of position. Vasilevsky wouldnāt have been out of position like that. Justin Holl sucks too. He was on the ice for the vast majority of the goals in this series. Check the stats. Every good team has a great goalie. Dubas is dumb, he should have traded for a goalie. Fleury was available before he got snatched.
Marner the choke artist coulda tied the game up and made some questionable āpassesā. He never steps up when the pressure is onā¦
Losing this game will give the Boys All the fuel they need to Destroy Tampa in there own Building – Sammy Plays Best on the Road – Saturday Night Hockey is the perfect place to End this !!! BUT if Leafs cannot win Saturday then I'm afraid they chances of winning a Game 7 is Very Very Very Very Very Very Slim.
As Leaf fans from their last Cup in 1967 … we've long given up on the WORST CHOKE ARTISTS IN SPORTS! 56-years of CHOKING!
Holl has dirt on Keefer and Dubas CONFIRMED!
I never like holl Leafs should of trade him in the trade Deadline
the whole league was mocking vasy's play heading into the series and over the first few games, might of got the fire going in his gut again.
Does every second Leaf fan have a podcast? Therapy in numbers š
Holl is a disaster! Tampa outplaying Toronto but thereās a reason for thatā¦hall is on for almost 3/4 of all the goals tampa has scored In this series.
Leafs gotta get it together and play 60 minutes
The laughs finally won they no longer the chokers but still called the Laughs until they win the cup.
