Making yet another backup goalie look like hasek, while he gets an assist and is thus outscoring half your team, in your home building 5 days into the tournament would’ve been truly pathetic
- BestRapperAlive

CBJ's two goalies are the only reason they aren't a bottom 5 team this year. They'd be right down there with Buffalo without them.

How do you figure not the same? Clb couldn't touch the puck in game 3 until the leafs let off the gas.

They did outshoot us I think...

Very different.

We need Dr. Max to diagnose some of the posters here, because we might be bipolar.

Nylander haters:

Can we give the guy some credit for literally skating from behind the Leafs goal line all the way into the CBJ zone with less than a minute remaining.

It was (frank)ing beautiful.

His calmness gets misread for being "soft" and "not caring". In those moments you need a calm player. Marner tried bringing it up with an empty net and gave it away...If it wasn't for PLD (frank)ing up the game would of been over.

you keep on undervalueing the CBJ team.
good team defense.
a legit #1 d-man.
a legit #1 c-man.
a few good support players.
great coaching and a clear strategy.

I've often said that people mistake his ability to look easy with nonchalance. Or in the words of the wise Tuvok "Do not mistake composure for ease"

I wouldn't mind if he made contact with another player here and there though.

Speaking of luck..... Clb used up a ton early in the game.

- Elvis giveaway to marner 10sec into the game and he nearly wraps around gets it five hole but somehow doesn't squeak through when the goalie had no stick

- there were like 5 times where the puck actually made it through the goalie but it either didn't go in (one hit the post before he covered it) or they couldn't get a stick on it to,tap in

- there were like 3 times where the goalie didn't know where the puck was and hit ends up hitting his blade and just tricking wide.

I don't.

Their goalies have insane unsustainable save percentages.

Want more proof? Torts said it before the series, he said they are no where close to where they are today without their goalies play in the season.

He is not perfect but at 6.9 Mil he doesn't have to be a superstar.

I want the puck on his stick in a tie game, he doesn't overthink things.

PLD is barely a 60 point player.

He has had a very good series, but let's not claim he is something he isn't yet.

Recency bias is strong these playoffs.

Googles your friend

5v5 we outshot then game 2-4

They did 1-3

They’ve been better then I thought they’d be.

Where TB/Philly get to face the 24th place team for an easy matchup in the 1st round, the 7th place team gets a 12.5% shot at the 1st overall pick, The Leafs are on the good side of a 3 goal comeback.

What about overall?

I am curious because going into the series CBJ's goalies had to be the best player on the ice for them to win.

I don’t think they scored 3 goals with an empty net.

I’m not complaining though

Arizona is in the playoffs and they don't have a GM

still appropriate to have this discussion imo.
rielly didn't look happy at all after that win.

I thought Leaf ownership don’t care about the SC. They’ll just keep Dubas cause he’s cute
