Matthews was awesome, again. The only thing he didn’t do was score.
- Steven_Seagull


Sorry man, but 1 shot going into OT is not awesome, and it's not what you pay 11.6 million a year for. It just isn't. 🤷‍♂️

I love Matthews, but he's feeding the trolls with this poop. It's the same with all of them, do better... No excuses when push comes to shove.

Leafs remind of those first round exit oilers teams with 'good' first rounders. Oh no...

Good to park Clifford on the bench. That line only got things going for the club last game. Batter to sit them down and roll with floaters because reasons...

- aminnes


They played well, but the backhand spinorama pass to the other team wasn’t nice...then he puck chased and left his side wide open and they got a good chance. I was surprised to see him get another shift after that.

Considering skipping tomorrow's game.

Check the score after. It's either game 5 or Lafreniere time.

I'm struggling to find a good reason for wanting this team to win tomorrow. They aren't learning, the no heart narrative is as true as haters want it to be, and they simply don't deserve it.

Losing tomorrow means a chance at #1. Losing next round (which they will) means nothing.

They just don’t get their noses dirty. It’s the make up of the roster not the players. Gotta go through walls play ballz out.

Please stop with the Matthews hate. He was the best player on the ice. The leafs d-men were awful and JT taking a half hour to get a shot off in the o-zone leading to an odd man rush the other way sealed it.

They were miles better when they were doing that, they stopped in the 3rd.

Wonder if Muzzin changes anything about this game.

Said back then a great trade. Not nearly enough warriors to support him.

Don't be like that, I watched the game just like all of them and you and I both know it. Watch the game isn't an argument. 1 shot going into OT. It's not good enough from a guy who is paid 11.6 million a year to drive offense when the chips are down.

The same story can be made for a good chunk of this team right now. It needs to be better. Auston is a pro and no dummy, he will probably tell you that himself in the post-game as well, so make sure to tell him to watch the game to. 🤦‍♂️

If you’re just going by SOG, then you didn’t watch the game.

Matthews was fantastic. Nothing wrong with his game tonight. He played a phenomenal 200 foot game(hits blocks) he controlled play all night.

Several other teams in this play off alone have had team captains who usually don't fight step up for hurt team mates. The leafs have at least a 3 year old problem of not stepping up physically. The Leafs made it easy for Dubois to score a hasty tonight when he should have been made to pay the price all night long. Muzzin is one of the few Leafs that showed his team mates the respect of sticking up for them in the traditional game of hockey that the rest of the league plays.

He hit 2 posts... millimetres from 2 goals.

Watch the entire game next time

Kadri wouldn’t have played tonight, he always gets suspended in Game 2.

I’m heading to a cottage, and in law’s anniversary.

Leafs come back and look like game 2 leafs.

Game 5 is a crapshoot.

It's not hate, it's reality. When you sign the big money contract it comes with heightened expectations. 1 shot going into OT does not fulfill those expectations. Same with Marner passing into everyone's skates all night and Tavares doing whatever the (frank) he was doing. It's not good enough.

They all worked hard... They did. They got a lot of money to wipe those tears with to. No pity. 🤷‍♂️

More likely to do something stupid with his elbow or stick and get suspended more like. It's something though?
