@@littlegar573 winning again? Sorry but that was their 1st win against Toronto …. Toronto beat them up like 7 days ago
@@DylanMorrow48 I mean hey, These two teams are great. Def gonna be a fun playoffs
@@DylanMorrow48 Pretty sure he referring to the early 1 goal lead Florida had but I wouldn't expect a Toronto MakeMeLaughs fan to use common sense.
@@DylanMorrow48 leafs fans always angry 😂
Yup, it's one of those where people who aren't leaf fans (myself included) but are hockey fans are gonna tune in. Love you, Dangle!
I’m not even a leafs fan but I watch every video and some clips of his podcast. But I feel ya I used to do the same thing.
Yup. Thats me.
@@Bnasty295 hate to break it to you but youre a leafs fan
Eh, I’m a B’s fan, but I’ve grown a massive soft spot for the Leafs thanks to Steve. I watch all the videos.
I’m a sens fan so I only watch the vids where the leafs do something embarrassing.
“WE KNOW IT WAS THE FIRST ROUND!!” 6:41
I let out an actual belly laugh at that one. Oh man.
i checked the score at 5-2 and thought “florida is fine”
Yep at 5-1 I said if Florida gets one there’s a game here
Frick sakes
Same but when it was 5-1, then a few mins later I checked again it was 5-4 and knew “Yay the Leafs are blowing a lead again!”
@@i3p973 Funny, I remember saying during game 3 of the series between the Leads and the Blue Jackets, I was like if the jackets get 1 goal, they will win, and I was sadly right.
5-1 early in the 2nd, was to much time to hold it. I knew and said to myself, they will blow this because like a movie that repeats with different actors, THEY ALWAYS DO
is anyone else frustrated beyond hell that Keefe loves his Muzzin and Holl pairing?
I'm honestly having the same feiing with Keefe as I had with Babcock. Obviously, very different styles, but I can feel the Leafs are mostly good despite him. So much potential. And so much disappointment over such boneheaded coaching. Holl needs to get the fuck out of here.
I’m still scratching my head that they protected Justin Holl Instead of keeping their potentially 30 goal scorer who is now in Seattle. I think pretty much everyone called in a piss poor move as soon as we all saw it, as predictable as Toronto is, they have one of the worst defensive seasons and some of the worst team save percentage in NHL history over the last four months, doesn’t really shock me.
Absolutely. I would love them to try Giordano back with Brodie and keep Lyubushkin with Reilly. Rotate Liljegren with Holl so he gets to play with Muzzin.
I was suspicious at 5-1. Nervous at 5-2. I knew at 5-3.
That 3rd goal basically foreshadowed the game.
It's no coincidence that Muzzin comes back and the Leafs roll the old top 4 D pairings that were blowing big leads left and right 2 months ago and immediately blow a big lead. Go back and watch the last 2 Panthers goals in regulation...Holl and Muzz are on the ice and both times Muzzin was alone behind the Leafs net while multiple Panthers were playing catch and shoot in front of Campbell. Lybushkin and Rielly were working so well together because Boosh just sits in front of campbell and clears the net while Rielly roams around. They need Lybushkin on the ice he's the only one that clears the net for them.
Agreed. Our lineup needs to be
Reilly - Lybushkin
Muzzin - Brodie
Giordano - Liljegren
@@matfinlay2588 muzz needs to be 3rd pairing, he lost a step
@Ty Block I've been saying trade muzz this year and people think I hate him. I dont hate him but I cant see the style of his play age well. The body can only take so much. And I'm not sure at this point they'd split Gio and Lily, they've been really solid.
Seeing Holl in the lineup and paired again with Muzzin made me throw up in my mouth.
@@xCestLaVie1 it's ok to hate Muzzin.. i dont think anyine would blame you. I cant stand him. Muzzin HAS TO GO! He has no place in the D anymore. Holl is better than Muzzin when Holl is paired with someone else. C ya Muzz!
As someone who just tuned into this game hoping to see some fireworks, I was not disappointed. A lot can be learned from this game, but mostly this... Both the Leafs and the Panthers can score a lot of goals in a hurry. No lead against either team in the post season will be safe.
They are both too loose, 1sr round exit for leafs, 2nd for panthers
As a leafs fan
@@andrewwilkins3014 that's my question about Florida especially, they just don't seem to be a playoff built team
Maybe they will learn from this. I wasn a leafs Avs final.
When Reilly over commits and allows easy goals... you have a problem.
Go Brewers
I can tell you when I at least started worrying. They were up 5-1 and one of the commentators said we were only half way through the first half. They peaked too early.
*actual moment everyone knew:* _terrible gudas goal_
I said it in last nights LFR. Holl should sit. Rielly/Lybushkin, Brodie/Muzzin, Gio/Liljergen. Holl and Muzzin should never be a pair and should probably never be in the line up at the same time when everyone is healthy. Too many better options to have both in. I sincerely hope Keefe was just giving Lybushkin the night off and doesn't actually think Holl or Muzzin is a better option.
TL;DR: I don't think Hall is top 6 in your org anymore. I think he's the 8th defensemen on this list and we decided to place him in against the 2nd best team in the NHL with pulling out arguably our 3rd best d. Hard to justify the action.
Details: I'm right there with you on that, I spent a while looking at this from a mobility VS grit look:
This one is mobility from left to right (most to least): Sandin, Reilly, Liligren, Brodie, Hall, Lybushkin, Muzzin, Gio. I'm being generous, it might be Gio then Muzzin but Muzzin just got back from injury, might take a bit to get his skating legs.
Here's the same concept but for grit (in terms of moving bodies): Lybushkin, Muzzin, Gio, Lilgren, Sandin, Hall, Brodie, Reilly. This list I'm way more skeptic off, many out there could change my mind on a couple positions in the order.
But what matters is how this all looks:
Reilly (S2, G8) with Lybushkin (S6, G1) is a great "sword and shield" as Dangle puts it.
Muzzin (S7, G2) with Brodie (S4, G7) is an ok "sword and shield"
Gio (S8, G3) with Lil (S3, G4) is a good "sword and shield" as we've seen.
What we had last night:
Reilly (S2, G8) + Brodie (S4, G7) - No shield
Muzzin (S7, G2) + Hall (S5, G6) - No real sword
Gio (S8, G3) + Lil (S3, G4) - Good.
Objectively, that 2nd pair is just bad. Hall is mediocre in terms of strengths / weaknesses compared to the rest of the group. Why? Because while everyone else has a relatively good strength as either being gritty or being mobile, paired with a weakness of the other option, Hall is just mediocre at both this season.
What's worse is in doing the pairings like that, you're forcing a pair of Reilly + Brodie, which we can clearly see will not have the grit to remove a body from the front of the net. Hence why you get a game where if teams are willing to go to the dirty areas, they will score and plenty. I think the Reilly + Brodie combo is great, for a specific purpose. You put them out for particular game situations and they will thrive. Defending the front of the net is not that.
What makes this even more interesting is the thought of Sandin (S1, G5) getting in. The challenge for him is he's not going to replace Muzzin, his best comparable to replace would be Reilly but he's not replacing him (nor should he, Reilly is your #1 D). So the person you look at is Gio and I'm not sure you do that to pair with Lil. Rough spot, specially considering Sandin is probably one of Toronto's better D, he just doesn't have the experience to command the spot yet.
@@whoopass2rb Sandin can be a backup in the playoffs. You'll always need extra in playoff hockey.
@@markshannon9260 Oh I don't disagree. I just feel bad because I think Sandin probably fits as a #3 on your depth chart. He should be your 1-2 punch after Reilly + guy. But he doesn't bring enough grit to warrant removing Muzzin; not yet at least. With Gio, I think there's something to be said about experience, which he has the most of and it's very much rubbing off on Lil.
But you're 100% right, come injury time in playoffs, Sandin should be first choice to get in.
I'm so glad you titled this episode "Demons"
I've been saying that this team needs an exorcism for a few years now and this just proves it.
when Gudas scored I was like yeah that's it
gudas scored in their 6-2 comeback vs the devils. when he scores on anyone not named david rittich, florida is about to pour it on offensively
My mom is a lifelong Leafs fan, I was at work when they were playing and all she sent me was "Pain." I feel for you guys as an Oilers fan
Feel so bad for you man. Its okay. You're among friends
I knew once I heard holl and muzzin are paired together.
When kallgren let in that long slapper from gudas i kinda knew the panthers were gonna mount a comeback...but i feel like the leafs let off on the gas pedal rather than the panthers going full offense mode...3 out of 4 points in florida is still pretty good
That and the missed tackle on Mitch. 🤦♂️ and when kallgren got Injured knew it was very very bad .
Ya that's a positive way to look at. Sucks for the loss blowing a lead like that but 3 out of 4 points in Florida is damn good
@@koskara1314 both teams had missed penalties, your reasoning is invalid there
The Leafs let up with a 5-1 lead... most likely because they played the night before. Reilly also over played 2 plays resulting in easy goals. He's supposed to be a great defenseman but his defense is sometimes very questionable.
@@zachlesk5685 Leafs did have more though... especially crucial is that missed overtime slash against Tavares on the hands that prevented him from potting the breakaway.
This game was more indicative of how great the Panthers are offensively tbh. They’ve been pulling off these comebacks all season, It just so happens that it was against the Leaf’s this time. I wouldn’t go too hard on the Leafs for this loss. This is just what the Panthers do.
It was a b2b, Leafs got three points out of it. If I was a Leafs fan I wouldn’t be that stressed.
Oh i am not lol let the hater laugh at us.
It was a b2b in which the leafs blew a 5-1 lead. Doesn’t matter who’s in net, leafs defense and offense completely cratered. Also Steve claims 3 on 3 is meaningless but then lost his damn mind when the leafs won in OT… hmmmmmm
when blackwell scored i had this little voice in my head screaming “AND IT WAS 4-1!!!“ then muzzin scored to make it 5-1 but the voice didnt go away
I got home at 5 - 1, rewound the game to watch from the beginning, so I was way behind real-time. When it became 5-3 I checked the final score online, so I wouldn't have to experience it the hard way. I knew... or at least suspected.
Justin Holl has become Jake Gardner. Popular with the guys, with occasional good plays, but bonehead mistakes at critical times, complete inability to move players out from the front of the net, and really bad giveaways. Boosh has to come back in. Also, Nylander has to stop floating. His sloppy, half-effort play cost us two goals. Funny how nobody is mentioning that. He gets a great goal and everyone forgets.
Oh I haven't forgot about Nolander. I have said they need to sit Holl and Nolander and see how they play .
@steve I never want to see muzzin and Holl on the same line ever. Again.
Bonehead moves tonight:
1. Scratching Lybushkin
2. Playing Muzzin
Combo: reunite the Muzzin - Holl pairing
I feel Steve was really holding back on this LFR to go off on tomorrows podcast
People just love to hate on this team. Playing 4 games in 6 nights finally caught up to them. But they still scored 6 goals against one of the top teams in the NHL who were well rested. I think the Leafs are good and ready for the playoffs
Every team has stretches of 4 games in 6 nights, and guess what, the good teams can actually hold on to a 5-1 lead on the second half of a back to back
@@zachlesk5685And good teams can also blow a 5 to 1 lead and lose in ot. The Leafs just showed you that. Doesn't change a thing.
@@zachlesk5685 most teams just would have lost 7-1 rather than 7-6. You act like playing 4 games in 6 nights and getting a 5-1 lead on the panthers on the road is a situatuon any team could find themselves in lol
They were visibly gassed into the 2nd period. It wasn't a mental game they lost at all, they actually fought for OT when they lost the lead. I'm one of the biggest leafs pessimists but I cant deny noticing how tired they were before the comeback. I'd be much more upset if it was a lack of mental toughness.
Yeah but it always seems to happen to the leafs huh… wonder why
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - the mid-2000s Senators, early 2010s Sharks, and the current Maple Leafs are all the same team, in essence. All the talent, all the skill, and yet unable to put it all together for one full cup run. The Leafs still have a chance to shake that label, but that window won’t be open for very long.
5:56 is my favourite part 😂 thank you for making our suffering as leafs fans more bearable when we can laugh at our shortcomings
Sitting Holl for Boosh is the most obvious move.
When they lost this game I kid you not I laughed for a good 5-10 minutes, Steve is not the only one turning into the joker
Holl has to be the odd man out. Brodie and Muzzin, try it. Don't break up Gio and Lily. Put Boosh back with Reilly, they worked fine. Muzzin needs a breakout guy, and someone reliable. Holl is an enigma with Muzzin because he didn't suck quite as much. This is the time to find out if it really is Muzzin that is the problem, especially with Sandin on the mend.
Oh no! two slow d men… Nop don’t do it!!
I hate to say it but Muzzin needs to sit out. The Leafs D pairings were great without him. He comes back into the fold and they immediately go back to blowing a huge lead. It doesn't take a genius to see what the common denominator is here. The last 2 Panthers goals in regulation, he was all alone behind the Leafs net while the Panthers played catch and shoot in front of campbell. I'm still trying to figure out what he was doing back there.
@@craigharrison5406 you’re everywhere lol
Gio and Liljegren seemed to play the best defensively last night out of the defense pairs.
100% agree. I think even if Muzzin wasn’t back we should be sitting Holl out. Aside from the occasional nice breakout pass the guys completely lost out there. Next time he’s in front of the net just pay attention to his awareness. He’s looking into the stars while his man creeps in behind him
I get that it was 5-1 and they blew it but come on. It's a back to back, they've played 4 games in 6 days. Its against the only team in the league who has scored MORE goals than the Leafs, who were well rested.... and the Leafs had a mid game goalie change due to injury. If there was ever a game to cut them some slack for running out of gas half way through, its this one. I'm not worried about this one.
You should be, because its a trend.
@@Oldmanflyfishing I mean compared to other trends this is the least often one
@@Oldmanflyfishing Classic one sentence response from a boomer that adds absolutely nothing of value. The reason he listed so many caveats is he understands its a trend, and is trying to show how this deviates from the other blown leads.
Problem is they are the only team in the league who regularly does it! So yes it should be concerning because they prove time and time again they can't hold leads in pressure situations or when the other team starts getting momentum. This will be their demise in the playoffs.
I tend to agree. it def was a dumpster fire. But burn the game tape and move on.
that said, no, no, NOOOO to Hall and Muzzin. no more. Hall should b in the press box. brodie and muzzin should play together. put lyubushkin back with Reilly. gio and liljegren. that's your top 6
The Justin Holl experiment is over he had a fun run last year but he’s coming out and he is definitely not in the game 1 starting lineup
We can only hope that Sandin is healthy and gets a couple of games before the playoffs. There's no way in hell Holl should be playing. I would even consider scratching Muzzin in favour of Lily pad.
@@chamber32doors run the lines during his injury
Holl hasn't been bad this year though, I think Muzzin really lost his step.
@@xCestLaVie1 ya he also has not been good this year people don’t want to outright admit it and his experience will always win out when deciding who sits
The Leafs being bad is Steve Dangle's muse for poetry. That whole demon analogy segue, and then bringing it back to this game was done with such poetic flow my dude lmao
Drew's editing is so good. Don't ever change Drew. Also, should've maybe put up that the other 5-1 lead that was blown this year was against the Avs says no biased Avalanche fan.
And you know what makes it better, look who may be on the horizon.
Boston.
Ngl this game was one of those game that made me ignore the stats leaf hater would say to me.
Like “oh you guys blew yet another 5-1 lead” and my instant response was “What? Did you expect a guy coming in from a game against tampa to have a shut out against the best offense in the league after they started heating up? They got 3 of 4 points, Worry if they look bad after this”
This game was really fun to watch and still gives me hope in ways as a leaf fan
As long as there is time left in a game, if you can go and score 5, the other team can do the same. It is the capability of the other team, FLA has always been best in the 3rd.
As a Canucks and Vegas fan, I know all about my teams blowing big leads!
Can Leafs fans agree we’ve seen enough of Muzzin and Holl and just, I don’t know, never see that again?
Apologies beforehand, but everytime I see the box score showing TO lost before I go to bed, leaves me with that warm fuzzy feeling that there will be a video waiting for me in the morning where Steve Dangle's head explodes. Morning coffee, St. Viateur bagels and Dangle's head exploding are a staple many a morning. I can't wait for the playoffs
As a habs fan, these Leafs lost videos are the only thing I was looking foward to this year! thank you
The biggest mistake was putting holl and muzzin together again. It didn't work the first time. Or the second. And 3rd time is NOT the charm. We had something good going why go back to something that doesn't work
The curse of Harold Ballard will end one day...
i couldn't wait for this lfr given steve's comments last video about the leafs finally holding onto a lead
Great episode! LET'S GO PANTHERS 😼
honestly, not too concerned about this loss. Did we allow 5 straight goals? yes. You know who also allowed 5 straight? The Florida Panthers. It was 1 - 0 Florida and we made it 5 - 1. Second half of a back to back against the two best teams in the league, 3 out of 4 points. Pretty decent in my books
Both teams exposed eachother, panthers are desperately missing ekblad and Toronto can’t defend the front of the net. I would be worried if I was a fan of either of these teams
You're awesome Steve. Bruins fan here, 100$ on the leafs to get to the final, and beat the Avs. Hell of a team this year.. truly. But if it's B's laughs in the first round this year, you know.... YOU KNOW....... SORRY
Another video, another day to Steve becoming the real life joker
I already know the grey scale flashbacks are 100% on Producer Drew. And I love it
I like watching Steve happy.
Not a leafs fan; but the dog gets treats, and that vein in his head goes down.
But when I see a score like this... it's a must click
It must take some insane willpower to be a Leafs fan cause wow...
Mhm
Meh, at this point, it's mostly like suffering from a chronic disease, can't do anything about it
Imagine a moment's peace.
@@redheron4321 It's an inherited disease. Please donate to finding a treatment.
I am not sure if its a curse or a choice.
The Leafs are 33-2-1 when leading going into the 3rd this season, chill. All other teams blow leads - it just doesn’t get discussed all over the NHL like when the Leafs do
But this isn’t a problem that is occurring only this season… this has been happening to the leafs for 7 years?
The Leafs got Tired and when they get tired they get sloppy. Tenderfoot goalie but I am thinking what Holl has done to deserve getting the nod.
Fantastic content as always steve. If I could subscribe twice I would.
This may be the best ever thumbnail on a TH-cam video
Steve, as a fan of your videos, I always think about you when the Leafs choke if that makes you feel better
-Say the line, Bart.
-Leafs blow a 4 goal lead.
-YAAAAAAYYYY!!!;
I mean the commentators made sure we all knew the Panther's record of unlikely comebacks this season.
4:10
That snarl😭💀
My take on Kallgren tonight.
Concussed by the Marchment hit (Why is this allowed?)
Gudas goal because Kallgren is shook and is trying to play through a concussion.
Puck to the head and Kallgren calls it and leaves.
He’s not ready for late season / playoff NHL action. Let’s face it. First 2 games everyone thought he was the answer. He’s not. We’re in goalie trouble and those are can’t see it are going to be disappointed.
@@pajamatime5750 I don’t think anyone thought he was the answer, just Mrazek wasn’t the answer
@@Sasuke1underscore2 I’m afraid half the Toronto media were pumping this guys tires after the first 2 game like he was our saviour. Not everyone, but certainly some people did….
Hahahaha!! I can’t believe we got a point from the panthers on a back to back!! 3 of 4 points!! Thank You Florida!! 🤣
Really? Thanks Florida? Blew a 5-1 lead and you’re okay w that? Even if it’s on the second half of a back to back, inexcusable
@@zachlesk5685 our starter got injured and had to use the same goalie that played the night before. 3 points out of 4 again Thank You Florida! :) oh! And thank you for the other 2 points a couple of nights ago too 😘
@@independentmind6344 doesn’t change the fact they BLEW A 5-1 LEAD how can you still claim the leafs are legit? They can’t keep a lead for shit when it counts
When you see muzin and holl together expectations are beyond low.
Leafs never fail to disappoint.
as soon as i seen the highlights i knew i had to watch Dangle covering this game. Your pain is my joy, please never stop :)
"I kind of forgot to do that sometimes" had my dying of laughter
It wasn't that funny shut up
Um... Go Avs!!!
I can't say I'm not a little let down by how well you took that. What an insane year for goals. Every game seems to have plenty.
Keefe thought that Reilly-Boosh had the toughest outing against Tampa, and wanted to see what other pairings would make of tough assignments.
I'd say he's got his answer.
Yet he will prob sit lili and keep holl n muzz. He's done this shit all year and it drives me nuts
Hate Keefe. He's lucky he has Matthews and Marner to save his ass
@@jaym8346 not if he wants to win a hockey game he won't. sometimes he makes bonehead decisions but I think the phase of experimentation is over after tonight. I fucking hope so.
Keefe is coaching like a OHL coach. Mike Babcock is smiling somewhere
@@LetsGoWrongboarding yea you would assume but hes done it all season
Sadly the leafs looked exhausted towards the end of the game and Florida looked like they got a burst of energy after they started coming back. Matthew's is one of the best players in the world but on the game winner it was clear he was too tired to keep up..the legs weren't there in the second half, but they have played a lot of meaningful hockey and got some huge wins of late. Can't win them all and to get outta Florida with 3 of a possible 4 points is still not bad even though they should have had that game locked down.
Remember when Babcock thought Holl was an AHL defencemen at most and sat him all the time ?
The minute the game ended I kept refreshing the page, here we go
Casual Toronto meltdown. Another casual Panthers comeback. I cry myself to sleep.
I’m honestly not even upset with this loss. Obviously you should never blow a 5-1 lead but we seem to like it. Anyway, I’m not mad because I already expected to lose going into the game. We ended up getting 3/4 points on a tough road back to back against two great opponents. You take that all day.
The Leafs forgot to trim at least one of the claws, and felt the wrath of the kitty cat. 3/4 points in Florida. Take that any day.
Good video Steve!
#jobrob
I appreciate the Red Dragon reference.
Lets go cats!
Every team they play know its very possible that they can and will come back and win against them ! No matter the deficit !
Considering my canes lost to buffalo last night. It’s just nice to see other frustrated fans. Luv your channel.
Holl needs to go golfing
I ask this question, "are Leaf fans confident with Campbell/Kallgren duo in goal to start a playoff series ?? And this constant softness in front of their own net! Not a good combination to hang your hat on in playoff hockey. Steve is right, the demons are still about!
No, they won’t get past the first round having subpar goaltending and Jake Muzzin and Justin Holl playing together. They’re toast.
Fine with Campbell he was a 9.34% and 1.88ga last playoffs. Its keefe, holl and muzz im worried about.
@@jaym8346 I actually think Keefe "Coached" them out of a win last year against the Habs, when he sat Sandin directly after a big Win in which he scored a huge powerplay goal, so that he could keep Dermott in circulation. Stop tinkering goddamnit and let your team get chemistry.
wow highest quality editing i have seen yet
I knew it when Gudas scored. He doesn't score that, we win this game no question. Oh well
As a Panther fan, i wish they were as efficient on ST as the Leafs. The Leafs are as effective on ST as the Lightning were last season which is what doomed the Panthers. Quick pass shoot. Panthers forget that last part.
Definitely. We have a TON of playmakers and no shooters. Barky trying to be the one.
Jason Spezza said it best ... when you have a 5 - 1 lead you should be able to lock that down. It is back to back, and the goalie got hurt again, but at the same time I think this should have been a win - Not something to panic about but they need to solve holding down leads asap and get the best defensive pairings established - Giordano was huge in this regard but they need to limit chances and shut teams down that late in the game with 2+ goal lead.
Biggest demon was Keefe last night. Holl and Muzzin NOOOOOOoooo. No time out and that bench minor that leads the league in too many men. How can you put Muzzin and Holl over the Boosshh??? They have been horrible all year.
Producer Drew did a nice job on this one 😂 GLG!!!!
Simple really; the Panthers are #1 because they can comeback and win games. Taking three from four points against TB and F.L.A. is good for me. The game was exciting, crazy...no complaints.
I know the goalies are going to get a lot of flack on both sides for this but if you have a 7-6 game, that on the defense too....yes I am a goalie but no this isn't bias towards my fellow pad brothers. :P
But you know what it was nice of the Leafs, they came out in the second and said "We're the Leafs, we are here, look at what we can do." only to later comfort everybody by also saying "But don't worry, we're still the Leafs." by blowing the lead. But seriously nothing but respect for all Leafs fans, most teams a big lead like that we all relax, it's a 5 goal lead, we're fine. Not for you guys. There was a long time joke in Rangerstown that in the playoffs we all had our cardiologists on speed dial. I feel like Leafsnation it's the same thing whenever they hold a multigoal lead and the playoffs too.
Also my favourite line in this video: "...threw his stick at the guy, who told him to do that? THE DEMONS DID!" :P
if holl plays in the playoffs we may have another case of the "Gardiner Express"
Steve as much as I love my Leafs I actually called that result the Leafs had just played Lightning the day before and were going to play # 1 in Atlantic Division in their office and could possible run out of steam. They usually have a day off between games in the Stanley Cup Finals as back to back is very hard on teams at top level. Panthers had a rest day before playing Leafs and just came off an easier game playing Sabres. Look at Stanley Cup holders Lightning just lost 3 in a row. That's hockey baby !!
Wow I'm this early to a LFR? I'm a Kraken fan, what time warp did I enter?!
No lead is safe against the Panthers. This team is full send.
Watching this game gave me a rollercoaster of emotions the leafs are back to blowing leads GO LEAFS GO
Oh Stevie, as a rags fan I thank you for taking them away from us lmfao
They are so good, like scary good at times of late, it really stuns me the Demons have lasted this long. I think probably the thing I am most excited to see this playoffs is how the Leafs and Panthers perform.
It wasn't demons it was keefe. He decided to keep playing the worst d pairing we have. Not 2 mention he dropped our best defensive dman. Holl n muzz allow a pk goal and they're out again on the next pk. They allowed another pk goal and guess what, keefe keeps putting them back out. Yet he drops boosh cause he claims he didnt hve a great game against Tampa. I bet keefes dumbass will still have holl n muzz in next game.
Funny how you brought up that stat of the Leaf record versus East teams currently in the playoffs. Would love to see what the Leaf record has been against East non-playoff teams since Feb. 1 LOL And a gentle reminder, that the Leafs are playing the Habiturds this weekend 😆
For the full season they are 7-5-0 against the 4 bottom Atlantic(Montreal, Ottawa, Red Wings and Buffalo), since February 1st they are 1-4-0 against the same teams. They play Montreal on Saturday and Buffalo on Tuesday
Was at the game. Was electric.
They gonna learn from this game and comeback stronger!
FOOL
Leafs looking like playoff form.
So mean.. and I love it.
Last time I saw the score was 5-3. Then I look in my sub box and see LFR 7-6 lmao
Remember a certain third period in a certain Game 7 against Boston? That's what last night's game felt like.
Does this still count as blowing a 3-1 lead?
It's not a 3-1 lead, it's a 3+1 lead!
What's interesting about all of this (and not mentioned at all) ....Panthers scored the go-ahead goal on a direct trip to Marner in the Panther's zone. It gave them possession of the puck and an odd-man rush. Also, Tavares had the game winning goal on his stick, alone in front and got hooked on his shooting arm. No call. Panthers rushed to the other end and scored. If that gets called, Panthers do NOT win this particular game. I believe Bunting got his stick slashed out of his hands in the offensive zone, potentially killing off a scoring opportunity. Of course, there were Leaf infractions that were not called either, however, these ones really stick out in my mind a things that shaped the outcome of this particular game.
While definitely, the blown lead is a tough pill to swallow, the refs not calling things during critical points in the game pretty clearly changed the dynamics of the game and dictated the eventual winner.
I agree, we can't blame the refs for this game but some of those no calls had a direct affect on the outcome.
Leafs scored goal 2 because a leaf grabbed a panthers stick and dove, getting a powerplay - then goal 4 because Marner slashed the stick out of the defensemans hand, keeping the puck in the zone. This helped them get the lead they had and were the ones that stuck out to me
Leafs had 7 power plays. Kinda hard to blame refs for this one.
@@shiro1744 its not about powerplays, its about stop unfair play.
Yea, but you don't get every call. in minor hockey they tell you that. don't play like shit when you're not getting the calls
I do love Steve's rants when they lose... the best on TH-cam!
I know it’s a bit off topic but here’s a fun fact the Blues biggest comeback was against the Leafs when the Leafs blew a 5 goal lead back in the day.
