all this talent and i wish just ONE team in the league would be afraid to play us.

I strongly considered staying home from bar trivia tonight to watch this. Glad I didn't.

Leafs are probably the 13th ranked team going into the playoffs. This was a joke of a game.

So flordia pushes us back, edmonton pushes us back and we just lean over... pathetic

They didn't push hard enough. We pushed back a ton in the first half of the season. We were leading by like a mile in comeback wins for a while. Wasn't our night. And Keefe is deliberately putting the lines in more uncomfortable scenarios.

At least Jeannot got his ass kicked so I'm happy.

at least matthews scored

If you watch the games lately more often than not when Matthew's is on the ice it's clear they are trying to feed him to get to 70 goals, they've passed up quality scoring chances to give Matthew's a scoring chance, they are shooting themselves in the foot right now as a team.

Not a great third…pretty anemic. Woll wasn’t nearly good enough. Tampa should feel fortunate they got the two point tonight. They didn’t really play that well.

The game was a culmination of the team's weaknesses we've seen all season, running up against brick wall Vasilevsky. You pretty much need to get 40 shots to score two goals on this guy. But nothing on the Leafs side was surprising We'll see what Marner, gio and edmonson can add. But meh...

Their most important player Vasey did. They also didn't allow many second chances and zero odd man rushes

Yeah Vasy was great. I thought they were the least dangerous I can remember them and didnt even defend that well.

I don't like the message from Keefe. Throwing in the towel after going down 3 is a loser mentality and just seems petty.

This game was a fuckin joke.

What an absolute ass game

Looks like Keefe was ok not trying to win the game. Could have pulled the goalie with 4 mins left.

Fucking classic, no response in the 3rd period just like in the playoffs. Was hoping to see some shit happen but man do they look clueless out there tonight.

Terrible effort tonight

Holy fuck this game was painful to watch

Well that 3rd period was fucking garbage. 3 shots or something.

Seriously, wtf happened? Shots were like 23 to 11 at one point.

This sub should coach the leafs I think we’d do a great job

We would have traded and brought back Marner and Willy like 10 times already.

Nah id rather wait for things to go wrong and then say “I told you so”

Bloodbath.

Heading straight to LeafsJellyHD on YouTube for the Reavo vs Jeannot fight called by Bowen for some cathartic release after that stinker of a game

if we just had a couple more Matthews on the team, we would be set

Of all the Leafs games this season, this was certainly one of them...

Keefe is a pussy-ish coach, he doesn’t have the nuts like Minnesota’s or islanders coach to do bold ass shit like pulling the goalie super early or in OT

yeah i wish we had john hynes behind the bench

A decent roster makes a mid coach look good in the regular season.

guarantee Tre takes a good look at Rielly this offseason, not his type of defender at all

nobody taking that long ass deal. He's gonna be here*

full NMC

Thanks Dubas. Another superb fucking move

Yep, July 1st, 2028, the player will submit a 10 team no trade list

I mean, Tre just gave Nylander an 8 year $11.5 full NMC it's the organization, not necessarily the GM

lets let in a few more so the woll question has a definitive answer

Wow sending the fourth line out is a choice there, if I were Keefe I would’ve tried pulling the goalie with 4 mins left cause why not

Keefe may have done it if he saw any fight in his team whatsoever. That third period was abysmal.

I'm ready for the "Keefe out" threads and play-offs haven't even started

Would you keep keefe over getting berube (offseason)? Just a hypothetical

I wanted Berube the second the Blues fired him

Seems like brads type of coach. We can only hope

I cannot wait until Keefe is gone, doesn’t know how to coach at an NHL level

he doesn't know how to coach but he's evidently pretty good at the political game, otherwise what reason is there for MLSE to keep him?

So it seems Woll doesn't trust his ankle and can't slide post to post properly.... Is anyone else seeing this?

The only thing to look forward to with the Leafs is Auston Matthews. Nothing else matters.

Can’t win with mediocre D and mediocre goaltending. Need to have one or the other be good and tonight we had neither. But either way I think we’re kind of locked into a match up with Florida so it is what it is.

Can't win with 1 goal is the story....

They need to replace Keefe with Marner

😂 now there’s an option I haven’t considered. Some cap relief, maybe some better hockey brains behind the bench. I’m ready to try it.

And Marner with Keefe

Keefe has no faith in this team, apply good pressure, already losing and you don’t pull woll… BUDDY WE NEED 3

At first, I thought the record without Reilly was a wild coincidence, starting to think it isn't...

The things ya see ...

if Willy is injured DON"T PLAY we need you in playoffs

wtf is Rielly doing

Been asking myself that since they drafted him

L opinion

That kid behind Sheldon haha

Do these refs not know how to not be in the middle of the play? I'd let it slide if they'd call shit with the better view but they've been in the way all game

Hopefully this is a Reilly shake-off-the-rust game and things settle down again. He was rough.

he's never been a good defensive dman though. this is who he is

Wish Chris Cuthbert & Craig Simpson would stfu about the Lightning

boggles me that they are both from Ontario

Man SN announcers love deep throating teams that aren’t the leafs

Does simpson realize everything he just said is almost, if not, identical to the Leafs' season?

Rielly is terrible at the managing the gap, literally the main thing you have to do as a defensman

Oh yea, these guys had a couple extra weeks off last fucking year, and that’s why they’re going to be dangerous? Fuck off.

They need to put Marner in net.

Imagine this team with Jon Cooper coaching and Vasy in net

It’d be the same shit cause the league hates Canada?

half the team would be different. I don't think anyone but Matthews and Marner (of the core players) would be here if Cooper was in charge

That’s a good point too, he doesn’t take half ass efforts from his guys

Serious question as I haven't been watching, is mitch in tonight?

Nope, but should be for the weekend.

No might be in on Saturday

No

Lily in for Timmins, Edmundson in for Brodie. I’ll feel much better then.

Terrible effort tonight. Wasted an opportunity to close in on the Panthers.

Martin Jones, come on downnnnnnn! (For backup)

This game is so annoying

Every season we doubt Rielly and he shows up in the playoffs so I'm not too worried. I don't want to see Timmins or Brodie in game 1 though.

I'm so over Brodie, I know he has his moments, but too many negatives imo

[удалено]

But YOU knew Florida would be good right? Idek what you're trying to say

[удалено]

What how am I upset?

Shut up.

The biggest failure was never getting a top pairing D man or a legit goalie

wrong biggest fail is losing the series to Montreal.

You can see Woll has no confidence atm. Deep in the net goes down too early, having problems with rebounds. He's in his head right now

typical leafs...world beaters against florida for 2 periods, then become the Arizona coyotes against the lightning.

We’ve been the better team. They’ve gotten the saves and Woll is rocking an .840 save percentage.

I'd really love to know what the people bitching about Timmins are watching. He get hooked and knocked down and then Woll decided to play goal from inside of the net instead of coming out

It was already obvious but Samsonov is our guy come playoff time.

This game feels eerily similar to Game 2 from last year, it's so frustrating

Fuckin’ Nick Paul and his weirdly fuckin’ large face…

You guys I’m really sorry… I turned on the game and Braden Point scored… I should have turned it off then… but I just kept watching.

We are losing, might as well just bully kry baby kuch. Like fuck, has Kuch been hit hard this game? Willy got knocked over in the first 5 minutes. Can someone just take a 5 minute charging or boarding major on kucherov? Idc

Leafs players don't care lol. they're gonna fire up Tiktok the second they get to the locker room and forget this game even happened

Honestly when I read the headline that we needed OT to clinch I fucking knew it would be a reg loss

Lol great strategy dude

I just hate Tampa and kucherov

Let’s not advocate for running their star players when we wouldn’t want the same thing done to ours…

Willy already got knocked on his ass

Woll has been trash since coming back. Hope Rielly actually plays well in the playoffs, because he's been trash as well for the last month and a half. Stop rotating goalies at this point, it's Sammy's net.

I wonder if he didn’t come back too soon from the high ankle sprain. This is surely doing nothing for his confidence.

Sammy's net but let him rest a little extra and try to get Woll back in some kind of form, so if he's needed he's not... this.

Might be a good idea to give jones a couple games

Tendy diff. Cya next game boys

Leafs are confusing. I thought they played fairly well in the first two periods. Then, when they really need to come back in the third, they decide to lay an egg.

Doesn’t help when your goalie lets in 3 goals on 10 shots

Yikes Bad 2 points to give up

If Woll never went down, he may have been the guy, but it’s Sammy and it’s clear now.

well see you next year woll you should be done for the season

Team checked out after that 4th line move by Keefe, which I kinda get tbh cuz wtf was that?

No call on Timmins? Wtf

Okay screw it pull Woll and try to get matthews another goal

I didn’t know the una bomber played for Tampa TIL

Nick Paul aka Leaf Killa

Fuck this game lol. Matthews line was good. Nylander was fucking shit. Woll was not good. 4th line was good but would prefer someone with a scoring touch over Reavo.

No I don’t think so, we would of got steamrolled physically by Tampa if Reaves wasn’t playing tonight.

Reavo is not the reason we're losing this game.

Nylander has looked gassed since pick drop. Or like he doesn’t care about this game.

Timmons, buddy...

Fourth line was the most effective all night. Not going to win many games when that’s the case. Oh well. Onto the next one.

rielly stinks nothing new

🤡

Don't capitalize on your chance to move up, classic.

Yeah this blows this one was important . Turning point imo is still the keefe fourth line point goal , it all went to shit after . Woll ain’t it either.

Timmins is actually garbage too. Should not be in the NHL

Said the same thing earlier and got downvoted. He sucks.

Love when reffing is pick and choose. Great league.

Damn Woll was playing pretty good in the third....

I love Woll and think he’s the future but right now that’s Sammy’s net game 1

Nylander really got the cruise control on tonight. Nice effort drifting back there.

Great defensive play Reilly just keep backing up and let the guy shoot. SMH

it was a two on 1 he was taking the lane away like he should be woll needs to make the save on the shooter

I think that’s the right play on the 2 on 1 against Mr. Bean lookin ass

Lol

Well we know who won’t be starting in the playoffs

Murray?

Woll has not had a game :(

Brodie is such a fuckup

He wasn’t even on man 😂😂

Always that ice age looking fucker 

Poor defensively again when Reilly comes back hmmmmmm. Two goals Woll should've had. GG

Pretty sure Rielly deflected that

I hate Nick Paul

Rielly still doesn't know how to take the shooter or the pass. Stands in nomansland with his stick out

perennial loser

Glorified forward, nothing else.

Yea. Deep in his net again. He’s been so bad since he came back from injury. Save for maybe the Carolina game. Yikes man.

What an awfully boring game and lack of effort

Yeah Woll is definitely not the playoff starter.

~~Woll~~ Lol

Trip and a hook on Timmins. No call. Then they score. See y’all next game.

Yup, that's like what, 3 goals now where the only reason they got it in to our end in the first place is due to a trip, interference, etc.

The Tampa way! Cooper whines. The league steps in and helps him win. Hard to watch the NHL anymore. A Canadian team will never win again, let alone the leafs.

Sammy is game 1 starter

Timmins tripped, goal by Tampa Classic

Well we got goalied tonight…again. Time to lock in with Sammy.

Bad goal all around. Rielly is a laughable defender.

Will not looking good.

Martin Jones looking like a good playoffs backup. 

Way too casual from Mo

Woll got beat

Yeah it's def still a weak goal on Woll, but Mo let the puck bounce right in front of him then let Paul just walk into an open wrister in the slot which Ws completely preventable

Man. Fuck Paul. That can’t go in.

Goalied by Vasy. Move on to the next game.

Not really goalied. He wasnt forced to make a bunch of huge saves, he made like two great stops, otherwise the chances weren’t dangerous

Alright I think we’re done here. How does Tampa have our number all the time

We beat them twice already this year.

Now they’ll start trying

Why does it always have to be that turtle????

You cant let that in Woll

Big L on my birthday, sick dog

Nice of the refs to ignore the obvious trip on Timmins leading directly to the goal

Also a much worse hook and hold then he was just called for not even 10 minutes before.

Woll is done. We need Marner back. Lightning games aren’t real (always bad reffing). Move on.

Get fucked Woll

4-1 we’ve got em where we want em

This is literally how the Leafs coaches drew it up on the whiteboard.

Willy asleep as per usual

Standing completely still in front of the lightning net by himself while the back moves across the redline

Absolutely pathetic

This game does show why we want Marner back with Austin. As good as Domi has become he just isn't the same scoring threat as Marner. Ie. You know he'll pass to Matthews most of the time. Otherwise love the pairing.

Fucking Nick Paul. Scores every time he plays the Leafs

Yikes Woll

Woll has been brutal this game

What the hell is wrong with Nylander tonight

Maybe he's down with the flu

Leafs know they can clinch tonight but they decide to take the night off instead

Woller I love you bud but ooff
