Leafs 2024-2025 Season Thread

Your sarcasm tells me you’re pissed that your favourite Leafs got criticized for taking dumb penalties when the team won, but the reality is this series is actually closer than the 3-0 series lead indicates. The first loss for the Sens was primarily due to dumb penalties and it couldn’t be any closer than going into ot in the next two. The Sens seemed to have learned a lesson and then it was the Leafs started to take the dumb and careless penalties, Robertson and Nylander the culprits. The 4th win is always the hardest and if the Leafs don’t stop taking these stupid penalties they may lose that momentum very quickly. Even if they win this series despite these dumb penaltie, they will not survive in the next round.
I actually like them both
- but half the time I don't even pay attention what they are saying as I'm so into the game and have had a few.
Sens win...Sens Win!!
Leafs were the better team tonight I must admit...Ottawa got away with a few penalties as well. Hope Tavares is okay.
Toronto has one killer of a power play. They were toying with the Sens at some times.

The difference is, other than game one, the Sens penalties were taken while in physical puck battles. I can live with that. The dumb penalties the Leafs took the last three games were where the puck was nowhere near. Robertson, Nylander and now Domi. The bad penalties are usually the ones that would end up in your net, and it happened to all three the Leafs took.
The Marlies were eliminated yesterday, so it's likely Hideby, Murray, Steeves, Abruzzese get to be Black Aces.
Alex Nylander left yesterday's game with an injury.

Leafs lost because of special teams, PK and PP. 4 minutes of PP time in OT and Berube used Rielly instead of another forward like McMann. Probably for fear of getting another short handed goal against at that stage.
Rielly on the PP has never worked in previous playoffs.
The more games the more risk of injury. Tavares could get another concussion.
Berube on Nylander:
"Willy’s a competitor. He loves to score goals, we know that. You look at the game last night as the game got ramped up, he got ramped up. I thought he was highly competitive in the game and he did a lot of great things. I know he made a lot of great plays and goals, but with the puck battles and the second and third effort he showed in the game last night was exceptional.”
In series clinching games 13 played:
Matthews 4 goals 8 pts
Marner 0 goals 6 pts
Nylander 2 goals 13 pts

I agree with what Berube said about Nylander. He’s been excellent and the one mistake he made didn’t cost the Leafs. Knies has also been great but McMann needs to be put back on the second line to make an impact. He’ll make that line more dangerous 5 on 5. He was back there briefly in the 3rd period and I hope we’ll see him there full time. For the 4minute pp OEL would have been my choice over Rielly.
Those were great games to watch. I still go back and watch them on YouTube sometime. I loved seeing the habs lose to Quebec
The seeds of doubt have been planted. Lets see what happens.
Sens Win!...Sens Win!!...
Ullmark living up to the big contract tonight...Needs to do this for two more games though and that's a big ask.
Man I've never seen that arena clear out so fast.

Just when you think it couldn't get any lower. Imagine if they lose the series after winning the first 3 games.
Game 7 Saturday May 3rd. Book it.

It all goes back to the last game in OT when they couldn't capitalize on that double minor powerplay.
They should just stick to what they been doing all season...NOT play defense!
It was never their thing lol.
