Keefe got outcoached, Montreal line matched his top lines, if this trend happens the Leafs will exit the 1st round of the playoffs again.
Come on man. They didn't lose because of line matchups. We're talking about Montreal here.
1. Leafs played with no intensity or urgency. They looked soft actually.
2. The goalie sucked. Leafs would have had to score 6 goals to win this one. Doable but not with point 1 listed above.

They played the same way against the Kraken except the Kraken didn't play with any intensity either.
Montreal, however, played like they wanted to win this one.
Leafs play down to the weaker teams and allow skill alone to win.
Against the better teams they play more focused.

They've won 3 in a row...now they are only 10 points out of 2nd last in the conference and 33 points out of a playoff spot...let's have a parade!
Whatever you do, absolutely do NOT acknowledge you might possibly have been wrong about the Martin St.Louis hire. Just make a dumb joke to deflect and run away. Of course, per usual.

Here's a novel concept - Instead of being a perpetual Leafs apologist, why not just admit the Leafs did their very best to win but were badly out-coached and out-played by a less talented team, and leave it at that. It's been the story of the Leafs for years, and everyone knows it.

I get There's a particular flaw in your character that makes you so angry when anybody has the audacity to challenge anything you say. You lash out as opposed to accepting that someone else might have an opposing yet valid point of view.
And right on cue. LOL

Umm...you were wrong too. Weren't you the one who dismissed St.Louis based solely on his height?

I suspect this post of yours is simply a by-product of you getting your ass handed to you (yet again) by multiple people in the breast reduction thread in the lounge. So predictable. We know you shack, we do indeed know you.

But it's nice to see you, FFA, and superidiot88 all circle jerking each other for a job well done. Truer colors, there have never been.

Wrong about Martin St Louis? Little too a early for a verdict on that...
Yeah, the way he coached the Habs to a 5-2 shellacking of the Leafs, that was a classic 'tanking' move. You were right on the money there, boy.

Wow, what an important game that was...again, let’s have a parade.
You're just like the Leafs players - they don't seem to understand that every game in the NHL is important either.

Wait, what? Did you actually believe that I was serious? 😂 😂 😂

I made fun of his height but to think that has anything to do with his coaching ability is ludicrous. Maybe you are blinded by your hatred of me.

You probably took this song seriously as well.

Any team that understands that goes 82-0
This gets my vote for stupidest post ever written in the Sports forum. Way to go, champ! (y)

By virtue of your posting history on this board, no one takes anything you post seriously. We just point out ridiculousness of the content, as I did above. Is this somehow 'news' to you? Not getting any better at the whole self-awareness thing, are you?

Actually, stupid is believing that that comment was in any way serious, which you obviously did.

TBH, if it was a serious comment, it would have been the stupidest comment written in any forum.

Lighten up dude.

Are you trying to say you were joking when you suggested an 82-0 record was even remotely possible...who knew?

You don't get it do you? My post had nothing to do with right or wrong.

I was commenting on how worked up and abusive you are anytime that anybody disagrees with you. The way you responded to FFA and and superstar were bang on with how I described how angry and volatile you get with opposing opinions. And it only took you 30-40 minutes.

You have no idea how to debate without hurling insults. Calm down, dude. Other people are entitled to their opinions.

Or are they not?

Well, evidently there was at least one person and it was the (self-declared) most hockey knowledgeable person here.

By virtue of your posting history on this board,
You keep talking about my posting history but you can't seem to translate that into proving anything concrete. Your only argument is predicated on you speaking for all other TERB posters. When were you appointed spokesperson?

I talked about your posting history of aggressiveness when someone disagrees with you and within 30 minutes you were at it again. Volatile posts against 3 other posters who just so happen to have a different point of view.

You are very predictable......and angry.

Wow. Good rant, shack. Thanks for proving my points. At least you're consistent. :ROFLMAO: I think maybe it's you who should lighten up and calm down a bit, 'dude'.
