That didn't cost us as much as the Marner over glass to go down 2..Deebo said:

Both were stupid.. Doesn't matter though because they tried it up, dominated OT and lost on the 2nd shot against... The Leafs love giving the habs goalsDeebo said:
I was on the phone with my pops saying the same thing. The chance of that being turned over was almost the same as the Bergevin challenge. If that's the case then why do it? It's too high risk when you're just down 1. Marner over glass doesn't happen if there's no challenge. He does need to clean that up though.Deebo said:

I don't know. Maybe I've just had enough disappointments? Maybe I am now seeing this team for what it is, a team that will probably lose to Winnipeg if they somehow pull game 7 out of their ass. If they play like this against Montreal what will happen if they ever come up against Tampa...it will be a massacre.
Maybe I'm just frustration posting tonight and will wind up watching game 7. We'll find out Monday.

I think that Deebo gave a very reasoned explanation as to why they may not watch. I could see others feeling the same way. Some people don't like the tension that a game 7 creates, especially when it could create a series of ups and downs that would be hard to regulate your emotions on.

All I can say is wow just unbelievable the circumstances that caused the 2 Hab goals in reg. I stopped watching when it was still 0-0. The challenge what a joke. The coverage on the first goal what a joke.
Marner's penalty my god he had time to just ice it what are you thinking? For a kid with incredible talent that has won us a lot of games this year all in the regular season he has also cost us a handful with brainfart plays. Sh*t you see in Peewee hockey not from somebody that makes just under 11 million dollars.
I just don't get how a team with the talent they have and no question a much better team can't come out and play a solid 60 minutes under the circumstances.
All I'm starting to see is how weak of a division we played in all season because regardless of the outcome on Monday the semifinals is as far as a Canadian team will go.
Coaching staff I think needs to shoulder the blame. We always bit**ed about Babcock not having this team ready. Same with Keefe and his reluctance to try and mix things up and Maholtra doing jack sh8t to fix the PP which has been brutal for 2 months is unacceptable.

I feel you, and I think I am in the same spot. I get torn because I want to watch, but I really don't like how the games make me feel or act as they play out. The whole situation makes me feel worse because it's not a problem if they are winning, or even playing well in most cases, but when things go off the rails for the team, then I start looking for answers, and I have a hard time finding them. That makes me feel like a sore loser.

Being a sports fan is really such a weird thing. We look for explanations for subpar performance, try to come up with answers or things to do (trade Marner for example) but in fact we have absolutely no control over any aspect of it. That must be messing with our brains in some way!
I don't care if the team loses if they appear to be playing up to their abilities, giving full effort, playing smart. I haven't seen that for large stretches of the last 2 games. If they're not putting in the effort, why should I spend my time and aggravate myself watching another game 7 loss. I don't know. I've invested so much time and energy this season I'll probably wind up putting the game on and if they win I'll be happy, at least for a while. I can't fault anyone for skipping it though.

The Leafs frustrate me but I am at a time in my life where it doesn't eat away at me like it did in the Sundin years. That was unhealthy and while I wouldn't say sports are trivial ? they are a prime outlet for working out our innate human tribalism ? I have it perspective now.
What nearly, almost literally, drove me crazy was Trump's attempts to destroy our country, especially after the election. I actually lost a fair amount of weight worrying and did way too much doomscrolling. Like I said, the Leafs occupy a different space for me now.
