the leafs have an element of MEANNESS that they haven’t had before; i think it’s caught Boston off guard.
Giving the player who was deployed to shut down Pastarnak zero credit for shutting down Pastarnak is a Toronto Media Masterclass.
The building can't get loud because fans are waiting for bad stuff to happen and are nervous, so it's hard to cheer when your on pins and needles.
Also the corporate thing.
After game 4 i was soooo done with the team.. now im back to being happy and optimistic lol. Being a leaf fan is mentally taxing
every hockey fan is taxed when it comes to their team
@@carlmack2188 NO just NO. You are not taxed like a leaf. No team in any sport has done what the leafs have done to their base.
@@carlmack2188 stop
@@Dougie-ex1ovthis man spits facts. We Leaf fans are so jaded. PTSD beyond repair.
The 4 minute double power-play was EXCRUCIATING to watch!
Mirtle is bang on about special teams. If leafs stay out of the box they have a huge advantage. I’ll add to that and say that if Boston also stays out of the box, the leafs have a huge advantage
I can’t watch that power play again. It’s frightening!
Completely agree. That's exactly how the leafs won the last 2 games. Hopefully they've figured that out themselves too lol
Mathews got mugged, no call btw, and tweeked something, I'm sure it was the take down behind the net. He was skating at normal speed before that mugging but not after.
Knies was never getting close to scratch, he wasn’t even playing bad when they took him off 1st line, makes tons of great little plays that don’t always show up on score sheet and lead team on hits
I called Woll before Game 1 and throughout the series until they finally pulled Sammy. WOLL is the main reason this turn around happened.
As a Wild fan, if Charlie Coyle is your plan B, you are in a heap big trouble.
If Leafs started Woll for Game 4, they might have already won the series. They stuck with Samsonov for too long, for which Leafs don't plan to resign, and the future of the goalie is Woll, you gotta let Woll play.
"If Leafs started Woll for Game 4, they might have already won the series. "
Sorry but no.
Nylander 7 goals in elimination games . Benoit is an absolute dawg
Boston has under estimated Leafs ability and skill! Boston only had 1 more win and 7 points over Leafs in regular season!
Leafs are capable of winning game 7
You have to add REilly Tavares to that group of 5 untouchables .Maybe they is not a foundational peice but the LEafs have not choice but to have those 2 next year due to their contracts .
I have heard some rumblings among people I know that the Leafs dont NEED Matthews and they are a better team without him .THat is BS .Even if he is not scoring ,he is VERY effective out there .He immediatly draws defenders and checkers to him and that opens up space for others .When the series began I predicted that him and Pasta would basically both get shutdown and cacel eachother out
It ain't over yet.
It's called Corporate seats fill the maple leaf fan chairs.
For all those saying we need 1 more - stop. We need 13 more, just one at a time.
Willy !!
The makeover began last off-season, when Dubas acquired McCabe and O'Reilly before the trade deadline. McCabe was the best d-man on the ice in Games 5 and 6. Big mistake not to re-sign O'Reilly last off-season.
They tried but he said no, doesn't like the spotlight in toronto. Soft
@@soaringbullet Nah, more like smart. Toronto is the most toxic hockey market in the world. Plus, it's in Canada. Nobody with with talent and smarts wants to live there.
@@soaringbullet You're the only person who believes O'Reilly is soft. Smart is more like it. Why would anyone with talent and brains want to play in the most toxic hockey environment in the world, let alone one in Canada?
Go. Leafs. Go.
Marner is the most talented player since Keon, will he follow the same trajectory?
Nylander was playing well and hard all game. He was back checking, hitting and going to dirty areas. He was noticeable all night in a game where there was not much to notice on offence .
these days... there is nothing like a leafs powerplay to suck the energy out of the building...
As a diehard Leafs fan ( over 50 years) I expect a meltdown of Epic proportions for my team
You need to find another team, brah.
Classic leafs to comeback and then lose in game 7, I’d love to see them prove it wrong. Every game 7 with Boston I think of it as another coin toss and one of these times we gotta win, but haven’t yet lol…
Yup I am still expecting a game 7 loss. I'd be happy to be wrong though.
Fundamentals, limit oddman rushes, stay out of the box, pressure the puck, the leafs have flipped the script, playing good overall team D. The leafs are playing simple, fundamental hockey. Pressures on B's.
Leafs are the better team even without Matthews
Mirtle hardly spoke.
The D is blocking shots. Eddy has the experience from the Montreal playoff run.
he won the cup with St. Louis.
God Mirtle is so insufferable. The crowd was great last night. He's comparing it to a cup final? Ya obviously Cup finals are louder man. JFC
this always happens when the leafs lose a top guy like rielly or matthews. they lock it down and play team defense, whether regular season or playoffs. if matthews comes back they stop doing it and lose
Mirtle is dead wrong on TO media. Also wrong on noise in the arena.
Stop blaming the people who pay the bills
Edmundson Benoit McCabe eating pucks and making the corners and slot a place not to be.
Bruins won 1 Cup and made the final 3 times in 9 years !!! WTF .If the Leafs did that everyone would be dancing in the streets !! What are Bruins fans complaining about lol
Bunkis, are you wearing a DEAD shirt?
glad we played matthews to game 82 so he could not get the record and get hurt/sick
Can't be a coincidence when Nylander comes back and they start to win? I can't believe we're still keeping marner...
Marner is gonna be traded unless they go to the ecf
Thank gawd, you are not "we're" because you know little about Maple Leaf hockey. Mitch Marner is the most talented Leaf since Keon.
