R1, G5: sens @ Maple Leafs - Apr. 29th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

The way the offence just evaporates when they need it most is uncanny. Just can’t score when they have a chance to close out a series. It’s great that guys like Marner can produce early in a series, but if you can’t get it going later in the series, that just doesn’t matter.

They are done. Even if they can smeagol past Ottawa, that's the end of the line.

McMann has been horrible and they bench Robertson?? Patches is useless.

 

[Chris]

I think the Leafs will take care of business and move on to round 2. But - I also think if they lose tonight they will lose the series.

LOL...one prediction wrong, hopefully the second will turn out wrong too.

 

[Bender]

That was the most pathetic goalie pull I've ever seen.

 

[4EVRLEAFAN]

Absolute pathetic disgrace.

Maybe the Leafs want to go meet the new Prime Minister.

They're not done....and cross that bridge when they get there.

Florida will beat them to a pulp if they manage to get there.

I'm not sure the offseason house-cleaning doesn't include Nylander. So talented, but just not a warrior.

I'm pretty sure he can stick handle circles around them

Every year I say "this year is different". Sometimes I say that in August....sometimes in November.....sometimes February. This year I promised myself NOT to say those words.

But I did.... during the last several games of the regular season in April. I said "THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT"!!!

Leafs are not the team that will blow this. They may lose a game here and there and they can lose a lot of games to better teams (like the Cats).... but they are better than Ottawa and their systems are currently humming. Leafs played well enuff to close Game 4 and they can do it tonight too!

Go Leafs Go!

At this point I have to disagree, this team sucks.

Watch what you say about 88.

I appreciate your optimism, GT. I do. It's easy to complain when they play like this. But my take going into the playoffs is still my take: they need the goalies to play lights out to overcome the Matthews injury deficit.

 

[bustaheims]

Time and time again, this team comes up small.

 

[Oracle]

Gotta give Ottawa credit for a well executed tight checking game but the Leafs should have been able to adapt and respond. That's what winning teams do.

They don't suck. They lost a 2nd game in the best of 7. It's up to Berube to fix the lines. His decision to bench Robertson has backfired miserably.

 

[L K]

Joke of a team. I'm done. They win this series and I still want it blown up

 

[dekedastardly]

Good. Let the pretty boys lose a few teeth

I’m sure they are all good people, but they are not good at pressure hockey.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

The fourth line was good tonight — the only one.
