Leafs down 4 heading into the 3rd. Time to send a statement.

I want to see them goon it up. Marner and Nylander need to pound the snot out of Maroon and Hedman. Soften them out for the rest of the series.
i think the leafs, marner and matthews, and bill nylander need to maybe look over their shoulders after what bunting did to that kid.

It's just the first game. Tampa was ready for it and the Leafs were not. No one was calling for a sweep and home ice isn't as big as the media makes it out to be. Look for the Leafs to rebound in game 2 and win.

If you look at the leadership in that locker room, ROR, Tavares, GIO, Accairi, and Schenn they should bounce back. Maybe Spezza should give a speech in the locker room.

I don't understand how David Frost's brother-in-law (who he's very close with) is allowed to ref a game against one of Frost's arch enemies in Sheldon keef.

Seems like some kind of conflict of interest.
Wow!!! Did Keefe testify against Frost in a sexual assult case, initiated by Mike Danton?(Frost was found not guilty)

yeah Keefe testified against him. Frost is apparently close with his brother-in-law Wes McCauley who is refereeing the series. I don't see how that's fair.

Isn't it just peachy that the Leafs signed retreads again.

Instead of using the season to season their young goalies the Leafs sign a brittle flake and a Russian who's now 1-6 in the Playoffs. What's the point in drafting goalies just to destroy their confidence.

BBL may have a point, McCabe stood his man up at the blue line, no indication of an elbow.

The guys on the ESPN panel said the second period might have been the worst officiating they've ever seen.

Hockey Canada has become a "Good ol Boy" outfit, it needs to be purged like the CSA was in the 00's.David Frost and Graham James are snakes that the developmental system hasn't fully dealt with. The problem is, you can't talk to hockey players about it, they are in denial.

My memory is foggy, are there two Sheldon Keefes? One of them got thrown under a bus by Theoren Flury.

You must be thinking of Sheldon Kennedy.

lol.... and the only way this team will even win anything, is when they get a tough as nails coach that understands to muscle the centre of the goddamn ice, and play the man always in the playoffs. I think Sheldon Keefe does know, but just has a hard time enforcing it. It's a do or die mentality. You can't sit there and play snooker with your sticks in YOUR OWN SLOT even 25% of the time. We need some teeth missing badasses. What happened to blocking shots from 20 years ago? I mean at least it got them out of the first round before wearing out.

Sorry for being so negative and I hope I'm wrong. Go Leafs Go!

All the home teams lost last night and both Vegas and Jersey lost by same score 5 to 1
Seattle beat Colorado 3 to 1
Night before only 2 home teams won. Boston and Carolina.
1st and 2nd in regular season standings beating the 2 lowest ranking wild card teams.
Both Dallas and Edmonton lost.
So in 8 games home team 2 and road team 6.

not always sure...
When Wes McCauley was officiating the Leafs during this regular season the Leafs were 5-0-1.
If the Leafs commit penalties and a referee calls them that's not the fault of the referee.

It's not Wes McCauley's fault the Leafs let in 7 goals.

You need to move on from this and give us your theories about the ghost of Hugo Chavez inhabiting the score clock and flipping the game scores... or maybe the Italian military space lasers affecting the movement of the puck. Those would have more credibility.

Seney is not the first Toronto "fan-boy" to write this sort of thing.

If you read the Toronto Star's Damien Cox you'll know the real reason the Leafs have been unsuccessful so far is because Kerry Fraser didn't make that high sticking call in 1993 when Doug Gilmore got touched on the face by Gretzky's stick.
That impacted the entire course of the Leafs franchise history, so that we would have won multiple Stanley Cups in the last 30 years if only that one referee had made that one call in 1993.

He wrote an entire book about it.

So it has nothing to do with Wes McCauley, it's all Kerry Fraser's fault.
