The Leafs can't win if Samsonov is going to swim around the ice like this
The only thing I can say to that is Tampa got crushed in game 1 last year and it didn't matter.
That's why there's no need to panic. It's the 1st game and it isn't over yet. The Leafs are coughing it up everywhere. They'll get it going.Bender said:L K said:No one was good in that period.

Agreed. It's game one, and the Leafs don't have their best game going for sure. I'm trying to figure out if Tampa was ropin' a dopin' since February or if the Leafs are ropin' a dopin' since puck drop.

Not playing to lose per se. I don't know how to articulate it, but it's like Tampa took its foot off the gas in February, and coasted into the playoffs. I wonder if they did that because they have played so much hockey over the last three years. The coaching staff would focus on the key elements that they would need to keep as habits, but they wouldn't really push it to win games here and there. Now Cooper just goes into the room and tells them to fire it up, and they are suddenly energized.

Keep the GM, it's the players that are playing like crap.

I think it all comes down to the Leafs, at their core, don't have the confidence to win when it counts the most. The years of failure weigh so heavily on the team.
