I couldn't believe TO at the beginning of the 2nd period, nerves I guess, PP then 2 man advantage, I'm not sure TO even got a shot on net .

Lily out Holl in, senseless?

Engvall gets a lot of crap from people on forums, from the coach but whatever line he's on looks dynamic, normally he doesn't score or assist but the puck normally ends up in the opposition's end, Kampf is usually the player that gets the praise.

What an absolute crap 3rd period, TO won, yes, but I'd say 2 coaches are way overthinking the game. 1st Keefe takes Bunting off of the top line and puts Kerfoot there, what message does that send to the team, the players, well that says we're such a good defensive team that we're going to defend our way to victory which was similar to TB in game 2 where TO was coming back from a 5 to 1 deficit because TB stopped trying to score and tried to defend it's way to victory, TO picked up 2 goals in the 3rd because of that nonsense. Tonite TB owned the 3rd, as they should when Keefe decides they don't need to try own the puck, stupid.

TB's coach took the goalie out with 2:20 left, TO had been under siege thru the entire 3rd period, what a bonehead move, the only reason TO won.

I thought Brodie was particularly bad tonite, in the 3rd he wins a puck battle then passes the puck to a TB player in prime scoring position, Campbell was awesome as he was all night, Brodie had other equally stupid gaffes tonite. 

Engvall/Kampf/Mikheyev is an excellent line, why does Keefe keep breaking it up, that line is gold and for TO to be successful it needs to be kept together.

On the TB PPs TO consistently loses the faceoffs, needs to stop.

Driving me crazy that Marner seems back into his pass persona, he needs to take more advantage of his excellent work rather than worrying about feeding Matthews, Matthews and JT are into their playoff games, nearly invisible but at least Matthews makes the occasional decent defensive play.

TB PP, 2 players in front of Campbell as a distraction and looking to deflect shots or pounce on rebounds, TO's PP, 1 player to the side of the net I guess so the shot has the whole net to go into, brilliantly sad.

lol.

I mean really hobarth they just beat the champs at home.  It wasn't picture perfect but uncorking a bunch of complaints and letting them gush out isn't reasonable.  They are never going to have things go as well as they did in G1.  The main thing is they didn't fold under pressure.

Well those certainly were words.

Hedman put up another -3 like in game #1.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Matthews invisible is a good line. Not quite as good as the Marner line especially when he lead the team in shots tonight lol.
As for moving Bunting, it's pretty simple. Keefe wanted Kampf, Mik and Eng together and that involved moving Kerfoot off that line. Bunting coming off an injury, Kerfoot being a better defensive player, easy swap. He also, on one shift had Kase and Engvall with JT for a D zone start because Engvall is better defensively then Willy...Called protecting the lead and guess what, it worked...no big deal.

So, the ONLY reason TO won, was because TB pulled the goalie? It didn't have anything to do with the fact they were ahead in goals scored?

Pulling the goalie with 2:20 left in a playoff game is a bonehead move? I just.... I.. I'm going to bed.

This has been the most fairly reffed series for the Leafs ever. This is how all games should be reffed.

All lawyer speak from Cooper. The penalties were actually called even. T Bay had an additional 2 for over the glass.

 

[herman]

It sounds like whining out of context, but Cooper was just frustrated with his own team's lack of discipline. He is still wary of giving the Leafs credit for their play, other than Campbell's game-saver on Stamkos.

 

[Redleaf]

When Engvall passed to mikheyev I was complaining to my wife that he?s gotta just bury that and not think about anything else. She told me ?shut the hell up, they scored?
Bowen said it better lol.

I had to listen to that a few times. Some spicy language for a hockey broadcast there by Ralphie. Didn?t know you could say that on air. Lol

And they missed when Vas played the puck in the no play zone.

There was also a pretty nasty crosscheck on Gio just after the Holl penalty that should have been called. I didn't see his presser but it's a lot about nothing. The Leafs were one of the least penalized teams in the league for a reason.

On the Leaf Report podcast today, the boys were talking about maybe getting Marner some shifts with Tavares and Nylander to get them going. 

It's hard for me to believe that the KEM line can maintain their offensivenessnesses, so unless the matchup changes, I think it's worth a short-term shot.
