come on... he's the single biggest reason they got to game 7.

maybe, just maybe if he improves his rebound control and doesn't have the guys crapping the bed in front of him in the last 2 minutes .. .its a different story.

as much as Chara and few on the Bruins were out of gas.. .so were the Leafs guys. Gunnarson was thrown around like a rag doll, not blaming him for it.. just saying. We all know what happens to Phaneuf when he plays too many minutes.
- BorjeFan4Ever

no.

the way he handled rebounds all series, the leafs were lucky to live another day after 4 games.

the way the team rallied around reimer to bail him out is the reason they got to game 7. reimer made some huge saves that kept them in it, but the team bailed him out more than he bailed out the team. great coaching..

and they all collectively, along with reimer, are responsible for what we just watched. i realize the same could be said for a lot of things.. but a goalie who could've reacted appropriately just may have been the difference.

i've supported reimer all year, i'm a fan.. but he blew it with the best of them.

Sorry Leaf fans . great fight you guys put up. there's always next year . Oooops



Great try

we ordered 2 24s during the 1st. Guy didn't show till the last minute. Of the 3rd.


We didn't answer the door.


He buzzed for 40 minutes.
- Feeling Glucky?

Yup.

If you described the Leafs' team record and individual performances this year before the season started, you would have been bwahahaha'd right off the internet.

Kadri not a bust, McClement with Selke talk, Kessel PPG again, Reimer (and Scrivens) both serious NHL goalies, Gardiner with a huge playoff, et cetera, et cetera....

This sucks big cloutier right now, but it ain't all bad.

Now Nonis, knock one out of the park at the draft and let's get back at the Bruins next year!
- Zezel

There is some silver lining, yes. But that was utterly inexcusable tonight.

I miss playoff hockey.

Alright, fine. The Leafs are terrible and should be ashamed of themselves. Happy?
- Double_A

When you are up 4-1 with 10:20 left; 4-2 with 1:40 left in regulation and lose 5-4 in overtime in game seven ... it's shameless. Not talking crap, but to say its not shameless is utterly stupid.

Then again, not as bad as blowing a 3-0 lead in the series and losing in seven, right?

No but seriously (frank) Boston
- AdamFrench

Thats not nice. Boston Strong

You're gona work the rest of your life. Drink your face off tonight. Whats the worst that can happen?
- ImThatGuy

I'm with that guy

I miss playoff hockey.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

I cared so much less when the Leafs missed the playoffs.

How much does this team miss Bozak in the defensive zone?

One face off win. That's all we needed.
- Leeman4Gilmour

True... but you have to remember, he's not big enough and doesn't score enough to be true #1 center.

You know, like Bergeron.

so just to get the completely irrational fans going in their desperate hour after the loss... how's about we blame it on Bozak. Wussy.. he didn't even play.

Can someone tell me again why I should like Phaneuf? I've completely forgotten after watching the 3rd and 4th goal.

I miss playoff hockey.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Me too.

Summer is coming. Plenty of time to drink.
- Pecafan Fan

True that. Our single Montreal fan showed up in a Canadiens jersey the day after. I can't let him beat me....

No but seriously (frank) Boston

I've been saying it for years and you wouldn't listen.

You've never been kicked in the balls??

I'm proud to say I have avoided it my whole life.

The same goalie who made us relevant in that series?

I've been saying it for years and you wouldn't listen.
- Pecafan Fan

We should have listened.

- Oneonta Penguin

right. we are very embarrassed.

can we all win the draft lottery to get a gift of the first overall pick to make us feel better?

We should have listened.

- Feeling Glucky?

I really think it is NE Division Teams V Boston.

It's a young team...it be shameless if it were the Bruins, or Penguins that did something like that...

- Sheppy99

You don't hve to like him, you just have to realize that he's unfortunately Toronto's best defenseman.

Alright, fine. The Leafs are terrible and should be ashamed of themselves. Happy?
- Double_A

No, I'm obviously not happy. Nor am I interested in backhanded compliments from fans of a team we just gifted a series to.

Did HH come in yet?
- Lee Denault

No, but it wasn't Gardiner's fault so I don't expect to see him

Me too.

Apart of me wants you to be able to feel this again.

And a apart of me is telling to you (frank) off...
