Series Talk: Leafs vs Bruins - 'ah shit here we go again' edition -- Full schedule post #933

[Leaf Fans]

And before you all get your hopes up.

Leafs have only scored more than 2 goals in a game 1 time in 8 games. So we are about to get "goalied" again. Remarkable since we spend 40 mil on 4 offensive minded players.

Boston came out flat. They played their worst game of the series. Don't count on that again.

Powerplay is still garbage going 0-3. HOW IS THIS EVEN REMOTELY POSSIBLE?! You can't win when your PP is less than 10%. So warm up to this narrative as we do our exit thread wondering what happened.

- we relied on Sammy even though Sammy has never proven to be consistent.
- Keefe got out coached again
- our team leaders disappeared...again.
- our special teams sucked.

This is why we lost. Let's just get it out of the way now.

It is possible that Boston will win.

I think you can clear your schedule for Saturday night at this point. Boston had their shot and now I suspect that many of the guys on that team are very much on edge waiting for game 7.


Out of curiousity, why do you bother watching?

I don't. I'm done until next Sept. The indifference in game 4. A do or die game and our team leaders and highest paid players come out flat...AGAIN pushed me over the top.

I'm done with this script. I'm done with this core. They have nothing to offer in the playoffs. I've never seen 11M players get so easily nullified in the games that matters...this is ridiculous and boring at this point.

Then why are you posting on a hockey message board for a team that you don't watch anymore? Clearly there is still something drawing you in. Cheer up - game 3 against Florida will either be Friday or Saturday night in Toronto. Early May, so the weather should be lovely.

You didn't watch the game?

 

[ACC1224]

You didn't watch the game?

Of course they watch, just looking for attention. I guess it takes all kinds to make up a fanbase.

I'm frustrated with this garbage team's core and I like to bitch about it.

This isn't rocket science.

Notice how, instead of refuting my post...you are pivoting in trying to psychoanalyze me? Because nothing I said was wrong. We deserve better.

You didn't watch the game?

it's been 8 years. I've watched that game dozen's of times. so have you.

Let's see how they do against Florida before tearing them apart again.

uhm...lol. "I just need to see a few more games before I am convinced this core isn't any good"

bruh. it's been 8 years of the same script. I think we've both seen enough.

No, they are different games.

 

[Drytoast]

No, they are different games.

No. They really are not.

Same script different date.

 

[Gallagbi]

Be mad at them. Don't be mad at the messenger. Anyone who still thinks this team has what it takes after 8 years of the same god damn script is wilfully ignorant.

They've been VERY clear as to how much they really value winning in the postseason. And a month from now while we are watching real teams battle through injuries and we are left wondering again "why not us?" Ole Mitch and the gang will be off smiling and fishing or golfing without a care in the world because their paychecks don't bounce.

Most can separate themselves from the team. What they hope happens and what they think will happen

Then there's you. But thanks for being the reality check, seems like that was necessary and doesn't make you look pathetic at all.

 

[Leaf Fans]

No. They really are not.

There is no script.

 

[notbias]

?


Their ahl team is still in the playoffs

interesting development...

You'd think that this wouldn't be for Ullmark since he was sitting on the bench

You just described me before the playoffs began. And then game 4 happened and ONCE AGAIN, this f***ing core has shown ONCE AGAIN why neither you or I or anyone should give them the benefit of the doubt or hope.

8 years. 1 script.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I play goalie for a soccer league on Thursdays and I think they're going to need to find someone else this week

I'm sure they can find someone else to allow 5 goals for the night

This belongs in the "blow this team up" thread.

Some of you are so miserable you can't even celebrate a win.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

For all the hate on marner and nylander they still look 10000x better than pasta.

We need to stop shooting low on Swayman when he's square, unless we have tips and guys ready for rebound

 

[Ianturnedbull]

It's still up to this team to win fans over. I don't blame fans for their apathy, or their polarizing physiological relationship with this team. You hear the media talk about the "PTSD" of leaf fans. It's not real trauma, but it certainly is something. I don't blame fans at all for coming on to this board and say things like:
"Typical Leafs. They will shit the bed in game 6 or game 7 in Boston." Until they can prove otherwise this kind of sentiment from fans is fairly natural.

Samsonov is free.

They won last night.

You care so little you won't watch, but you stay active in the Leaf forum on HF?

Again. I'm frustrated with this f***ing core group and want to bitch.

Stop trying to psychoanalyze this. That's exactly what these boards are for.

Yeah but pasta got two goals

You can look like shit as long as you deliver in the playoffs. There's no style points here

 

[Drytoast]

Pasta has also not looked like shit in the postseason for 8 f***ING YEARS.

That is for my second sentence. We are not taking advantage of their best player having low impact across the entire 60 minute.

I should have included PP numbers too. So bad.

Who cares about the last 7 years, he looks like shit in this one and we need to win this one

Nylander missed 3 games because of a f***ing headache and Matthews has missed a game and a half because of the flu. Tavares is too f***ing old and Marner has been invisibile. Keefe keeps getting out coached, our powerplay is less than 10% and we put our faith in Sammy once again to watch him let us down, once again.

Oh and we seem to be unable to score more than 2 goals a game and we haven't won at home in 6 games.

I'm sorry if you have hope.
