Just win! Go Leafs

 

[ZBBM]

Nice work Carlton, as usual.  Minor correction: you still have Samsonov starting in the Game Notes.

If they get swept anything and everything is on the table for change, from Dubas's job on down.  A 4-0 flushing would pretty much wipe out the R1 win.

I wish it were otherwise but that's how I see it.

OTOH if they can win this and then manage to win a damn home game, then maybe the conversation is different.  I hope so.

GO LEAFS GO

I feel like this will be the hill upon which Keefe's Leafs career will die.

 

[Kaberle15]

Great job CtB

Big 4 needs to step up. They need to score more than 2 goals, maybe 5 or 6 just so they can start to belive it.

Go Leafs Go!!!

 

[Bill_Berg]

Go Leafs go!

 

[Redleaf]

Just playing for pride tonight. But pride is a good enough reason to give it every last ounce of effort guys!

Go Leafs !

 

[Bill_Berg]

Yeah, play for pride. Go down swinging! Have fun, cause changes are coming.

Yep, go down swinging!

 

[dappleganger]

the last team to come back down 0-3 were the LA Kings in 2014 and went on to win the cup.

There's still a chance.

My bad, I put as much effort into this one as the team did in game 3.

Anyway go Leafs go.

 

[Zee]

I predict a Leafs win tonight.

 

[cabber24]

One game at a time.

Go Leafs Go!

I don't know what level of performance would change my opinion on the team structure at this point.  If they came back and won the series I think that's a given, but I'm not sure if they need to push it to Game 7, Game 6?  I think I'm probably wanting a decent change if they aren't making a crazy push.

But for the love of anything, go out fighting.  If the team gets plastered tonight I think I'm going to lean much harder into blow it up territory.

 

[cujo4ever]

Not feeling very confident about tonight, but nevertheless

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been such a crazy playoff around the league I barely even know what to think anymore, but I'm with you. If they get swept, especially via playing a terrible game, I could care less about what happens to the players or execs. If they push it to 7 I could probably be persuaded to change my mind to an extent, but I still think you can't have as much money wrapped up in the 4. I think that's a given now unless they go on some crazy run.

I?m not sure if a second-round sweep wipes out the 19 year old monkey off-the-back first round victory.

I think if we went back to say, April 1st and asked everyone here if they?d be ok heading into a game 4 second-round game, down 3-0 most would be ok with that.

I for one would take that and be quite happy. I think it?s all from what perspective your looking at things from.

 

[Peter D.]

I'm thinking they are going to win, and will do so convincingly.

But if they lose, I foresee it being something like a 6-1 blowout in which they are run out of the building.

Either way, I see this game not being close.

You are entirely too mentally healthy for my own good.

Nothing will surprise me tonight.

I really don't think most people would be happy with a potential 2nd rd sweep even against the Bruins. At least that would be more understandable though.
