R1, G5: Lightning @ Leafs - May 10th, 7:30pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Hrudey is bang on. Team playing nervous and it was the same against Montreal last year. That?s why I keep saying this team isn?t built for a Stanley Cup run. Changes need to be made because a lot of these guys don?t have it and I?m talking even the stars. If you can?t carry your play to the playoffs somewhat regular season doesn?t mean sh*t.

 

[BrownRolo]

I like Bieska but that was a stupid take. He's trying to block it. "Just catch it with your hand" Huh? Of all the guys you could single out for not giving 100% Kerfoot would be at the bottom of.my list on this team.

 

[azzurri63]

It's hard to visualize a comeback here.

Auston isn't winning faceoffs, not winning puck battles, not shooting.  His late-season mystery injury might be a tweak of his wrist? 

Auston doesn't have one memorable playoff performance to date.

Excuses excuses. Sounds like Leaf management. If he was still hurt why bother playing the last few games?

I don't know what you are quoting me for, I said Matthews hasn't played any memorable playoff games. What excuse did I make?

 

[wnc096]

Weren't the Leafs one of the least penalized times this season? So something magically changed in the playoffs? Oh well.

6 minors plus a too many men in one period?.players on both teams catching on diving all over.  Pathetic

 

[ZBBM]

Somebody has to score 5 on 5 for us.  I realize that's only a 2-minute window each period.

 

[L K]

Still tow periods to go in this one.  Leafs have score 3 against Vasilevskiy in every game so far.  This isn?t done.  Need to come out hard and fast in the second.  This is two games in a row where the team looks slow

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Worst officiating I?ve seen in my life as a fan. Just gets worse every year. This league needs to find and train competent officials.

I don't know when I've seen a team so richly and consistently rewarded for diving.

Yeah, cmon Azzurri I'm the one floating excuses.  You need to up your game, this is the playoffs!  8)

Not aimed at you sorry. I was just quoting the post.

 

[BrownRolo]

If Tavares isn't going to score can he at least throw his body around more? For a guy that dreamed of playing for the Leads he sure as hell doesn't play like it.

All 3 of those aren't penalties.

 

[azzurri63]

ZZBM you may be right with Austin because he seems to be passing it off when a shot is there. If he?s having a hard time shooting why keep throwing him out on the 1st PP? He hasn?t done Jack s**t.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

*sigh*

 

[azzurri63]

Time for Holl to play more. C?mon Sheldon he?s coming off a great game. Well in your mind anyway.

I don't know what his FO% is but he isn't winning many and to me that's a sign of trouble physically.  I hope he proves me wrong but if he's going to he'd better get started, like now.

It?s really something. They?ve really thrown the (false) narrative about there being fewer penalties in the playoffs out the window and replaced it with teams that get penalized heavily in the season get rewarded in the playoffs.

Officials should be held accountable. Coaches shouldn?t be fined for reasonably phrased complaints and grievances. Stop protecting the zebras and start protecting the integrity of the league (if it has any left).

Here comes the lost face off and pass it play
