Lightning @ Leafs - Mar. 11th, 7:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

[Guilt Trip]

Does anybody here honestly think Tampa is not going all the way?  Unless they get hit with some key injuries the Cup is theirs for the taking.  They dominate in every aspect of the game.

They are def the favs but the playoffs are a new season. I wouldn't concede anything to them.

Generous to say this team would take Boston to 5.  Joke. 

Then please don't watch seeing you already know what the outcome will be. Youve got to be  the most negative person here.

I will continue to watch.  How can you watch every game and tell yourself this team skates hard?  They don?t move their feet with any urgency.  That?s why I?m negative.  All the talent in the world and no motivation. 

 

[ZBBM]

How in the hell can they have a 3 on 1 on the PK?

Because the leafs don?t try.  I?ve been watching since 93, this is the least amount of fun I?ve had watching them.  Their effort just isn?t there.  I don?t know what?s wrong with them.

If you really mean this then all I can do is shake my head.  You must have slept through the Carlyle years.

They can be easily dominated physically by many teams

Randy was awful.  Talent wasn?t there, but it never seemed like they didn?t try.

Uh-huh.

If Babcock doesn't play with the lines being down 5-1 I will snap.

Get Marleau and Brown off the 3rd line and put Moore and Ennis with Kadri.

Hahaha. Just said Hyman only played 3 mins in the 2nd period. My question, why is he even playing then? Same if anyone else is sick, why?

 

[dekedastardly]

So many excuses....

I noticed right in the first period there was a puck in the corner and Hyman was skating extra extra slow going after it. There's obviously something wrong with him, Kapanen is out and probably a bunch of other guys not 100%

Also first game back from West coast trip, I'm the king of wishful thinking

Lots of good video to go over tonight.

Whatever it is, it's created the perfect storm for this show.

No one learns from winning.

The Leafs can do a lot of what the Lightning do. Attack the slot, low to high into slot tips. They need to do a better job taking away sticks and getting on the strong side of pucks.

Refs taking pity on the Leafs not calling Marner trying to waterski the backcheck.

True. Everyone thinks they're great when you're winning.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Nylander will never play with Matthews again after this game. Babs will say see it doesn't work lol.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink btw

SportsNet pointing out what has fueled a lot of Tampa?s success: those steps of getting up from failure.

Tonight the Lightning are playing right and disciplined even with the early freebies from the deflections. They keep pushing and pressing and working regardless of the score. It?s a mature veteran team that knows what they need to do.
