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

If they can kill this penalty then I'd open the throttle.  Either make it close or lose 7-1.

Open it up anyway...let it rip.

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. 

I?m blaming the players. Shouldn?t need anyone to get you up especially during the playoffs. Showing up in stints doesn?t cut it.

 

[Bender]

Gonna go to the gym and just keep an eye on things there. See ya Thursday.

Game 4s have been a big problem for this team for a while now.

Game 6s and 7s too.

Recently, sure. The game 4 issues go back to the Sundin era. Haven?t won one since the battle of Ontario (other than against Montreal , but that doesn?t really count)..

I don't consider the Sundin era "this team"

Fair. All I?m saying is a lot of the issues this group has have been around a lot longer than they have.

Keep getting the puck to the net.

 

[L K]

The Leafs strategy of dumping the puck in and immediately turning it over isn't very good

 

[Guilt Trip]

Keep getting the puck to the net.

Yup...keep going.

I know he was cleaning up his own lost puck, but that was a good stop by Nylander on the backcheck. He should play that urgently more often.

This is called quiet quitting (on dragging 15-91 around again)

 

[ZBBM]

They aren't going to win this but at least they are still competing.

 

[rdowdall]

You know if the Leafs lose this series, I think fans of the team should just walk away.  Like just not watch the team anymore.  It can't be half-assed though.  People have to actually stop watching this team and not come back.  I'm not advocating cheering for another team or anything.  Just give up NHL hockey altogether.  It's been a good run for this team from Toronto, but this is beyond comical now.  I'm starting to think the league may be better if they Leafs weren't in it.

I'm pretty sure the Leafs lost this series tonight.  That's 19 years without a playoff series win, and 56 without winning a cup. 

 

[Guilt Trip]

There's 1..keep it going boys.

 

[ZBBM]

MATTHEWS hurray

 

[L K]

A lot of cycling but can't really get the puck into shooting lanes. 

Nice!

 

[bustaheims]

They?re not quite dead yet. Need to make more of a statement this period. Something they can carry into game 5.

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man...

Getting Matthews fired up is something.

 

[herman]

Well that was nice

Someone wants to stay on this line

 

[ZBBM]

Vasilevskiy can be had.
