R1, G6: Leafs @ Lighting - May 12th, 7:30pm - CBC, Fan 590

[Guilt Trip]

I?m not even angry. Toronto was the better team. Tampa was lucky to win.

Yup. Good game, crappy result. Hope for a great game Sat and hopefully a win!

To me, Giordano seemed like too much of a liability to keep putting out there, too many giveaways and footspeed is definitely a problem for him.  Another deadline deal miss.

Honestly, I don't see any whipping boys this series.

I think there has been a let down guy every game but aside from the guys who haven?t received another opportunity (Simmonds/Clifford) no one has been bad two in a row.

Blackwell was flying every time he was on the ice tonight. Wouldn't mind seeing him get a few more minutes.

Was thinking the same...he had lots of jump compared to the rest, could have spotted him a couple extra shifts up the lineup as well.

Give him a few shifts with M&M

 

[Bender]

Am I the only one who saw a trip at centre or did someone lose an edge?

 

[Spider]

The 5 on 3 was the turning point... We need to whip our heads back every time one of their sticks is close to our face.

I saw a trip and right before that bunting was elbowed in the face.

Edit: I saw a gif of the Matthews fall on Twitter. No one touched him. I was wrong.

Damnit, ah well. On to game 7. If they lose on my bday I'm gonna be extra pissed lol.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Guys were falling all game. Crappy Tampa ice maybe?

In hindsight the first high stick should not have been a penalty.

Game 6 - Tampa 3 powerplays; Toronto 1 powerplay
Game 5 - Tampa 5 powerplays; Toronto 6 powerplays
Game 4 - Tampa 8 powerplays; Toronto 3 powerplays
Game 3 - Tampa 3 powerplays; Toronto 5 powerplays
Game 2 - Tampa 7 powerplays; Toronto 4 powerplays
Game 1 - Tampa 5 powerplays; Toronto 6 powerplays

Tampa 31 powerplays - 1 puck over glass/too many men
Toronto 25 powerplays - 5 were puck over glass/too many men

So Tampa now has a 10 powerplay advantage over 6 games for referee discretion calls.

That's some awesome bullshit.

Over who, who doesn't deserve the minutes they're getting, Marner maybe?

 

[Arn]

Arn the Leafs hate you

I?m glad they pushed back. I thought they played really well.

My presentation is going to be much shorter than my allotted time slot today  ;D

At least it?s Sunday morning after the next game

Yes it was BS, yes the refs affected the outcome, none of that matters now. Need a huge performance in game 7. End this stupid streak

This is nowhere near whipping boy territory and I know he picked up an assist on the 2nd goal last night but I've been pretty underwhelmed with Kase's play in these playoffs. Maybe he's still got some lingering injury stuff but he hasn't played anywhere near his best hockey. I might be tempted to throw Simmonds back into the line-up provided he pinky-swears to Spezza that he won't take any dumb penalties.

Clifford skates better than Simmonds and is defensively responsible, but he would need a double pinky swear.

The Leafs deserved to win.  Austin almost got that tip in goal from an excellent set up from Marner.

But TB?s 5 on 3 power play may have been the deciding factor.  Why shouldn?t Foote be fined for embellishment?  It may help to underline how many times TB has been getting away with it during this series.
