R1, G4: Lightning vs. Maple Leafs - Apr. 24th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

Well, that's probably it for this one. I don't see them coming back in this one. The second period was their best so far in Tampa, and they still were outscored. Not too happy right now. :(
 
They've played one good game out of 4 and we are back at the beginning ? regaining home ice.  You can only hope the crowd gives them an energy boost in G5.

I think you have to credit Tampa, they have been way better so far overall.
 
Down 4-1 and you pull completely unnecessary stupid crap after the whistle when the refs have been calling some stuff.  Absolutely dumb.  Giving Tampa a 4 on 3 PP pretty much wraps this one up.  Outside of O'Reilly the whole team have been garbage yet again. 

This is on the players but if Keefe can't have his team ready for a playoff game it's just unacceptable

Getting this heavily outplayed has been a huge disappointment.

O'Reilly and Knies and Acciari have shown up.  Like someone said, they have no Leafs Failure Stench on them.
 
Now seems like a good time to shut this one off. I see no adjustment from last game. They generate zero sustained pressure. It sure seems like TB has them figured out. Leafs can't handle their checking.

Something needs to change.

They didn't get outplayed in the 2nd. Fluke goal and Sammy not looking around the screen on the 4th.

Yes.  I meant the O'Rielly line not just Ryan.  Matthews has a lot of points and had a great deflection goal but he looks like a good player and not a top 5 player in the league.

I mean Tampa has been good, but the Leafs have little push all series. Maybe they're just not good enough. This series should be close, it's not.

I mean, we are all bummed because of another crappy game when we are up 2-1 but I sure will take a best of 3 with 2 in Toronto. 

OTOH if they pull this in G5 then it's a lead-in to a rather large postseason demo job.
 
If they can kill this penalty then I'd open the throttle.  Either make it close or lose 7-1.
 
Looks like Keefe has had enough of Willy's effort tonight. 8 mins after 2 periods. 4th lowest on the team.A whole lit of zeros beside his name except but -2 and bad penalty. He needs to be better.
