Until this kid matures and hits a gym I would suggest he needs someone to protect him. It worked for Gretzky and many other highly skilled players. I know it's a different game. It is a shame they can't seem to find skilled, physical players instead of NCAA players that don't seem to handle a physical game very well. I know Marniner is an OHL player but they have a slew of NCAA players that cower in the playoffs. their offense isnt the problem, they scored 3 goals in a playoff game last game. In fact the very guy you are talking about had a goal and an assist last game. You arent going to win a game if you let 6+ goals a game into your net. More specifcally you arent going to win a damn thing if Polak and Ron Hainsey are your go to shut down pair. Rielly and Gardiner have proven that they dont have what it takes on the back end of the ice. You need help on the back end, the leafs biggest weakness that everyone knew was there has been exposed in the worst way, and looking at Shanahan and Lou's reactions, they know that they made a bit of a mistake this season and that changes are going to most likely need to be made. Remember leafs nation, you havent lost until youve lost at home. lets see what happens tonight. The leafs win? Game 3 the momentum is back in Toronto's favour.

The way you do that is you play good offense and good defense, neither of which Matt Martin is good at. If you want to teach the guys how to play playoff hockey, you let them play playoff hockey and learn to be hard on the puck. 59 minutes ago, glen said: Hope the leafs dress a whole different team. 46 minutes ago, Oggie said: I'm not a fan of Martin either but they've taken bad penalties in two games trying to protect Marner.

scuro2 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 Leaf fans need not put their knickers in a not. Two years ago the Leafs were the worst team period. Boston probably has the best 2nd 1/2 record in the league. Like the young Raptors this will take time....look to 2010 and 2011. If they get blown out in the first round in those years then the Leaf fans can go bananas.
Oggie Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 Well I certainly agree with that post AKR. I think most teams would find Boston's physicality difficult to deal with for sure. The playoffs certainly expose the team's warts. If I'm Bozak I'd be playing a lot harder, given my free agency in June. A soft performance now (which it has been) will impact my pocketbook. All I'm looking for is grittier effort tonight. What happens happens after that. The Leafs being a young team play based on momentum. Success brings success.

Headhunter Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 I'm hoping the Officials are more interested in officiating the game and less interested in TV face time. No one that I know of spent big bucks to see the linesman exercise his puck dropping skills all game long! It would also be nice if the ref's spent some energy nabbing the initial offender instead of the reprisal! I know, too much to ask! Hoping for a better effort from all involved in blue and white. Uncle Leo being out and off the power play should help, but everyone needs to play bigger and tougher... bring back Borgman! LOL HH

You don't have to look too far in this thread for nonsense posts meant to promote hate but all done in the name of fun with an LOL at the end. But whatever, so be it.

Kind of hard not to win when it's 9 against 5 on the ice. And mocking Tukka........really???? Laffs give up 12 goals in 2 games and the laffites razz the other goalie lol If it weren't for Anderson and the refs this would be 6-2 Bruins Edited April 17, 2018 by muskymatt Forgot to razz more
misfish Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 WHAT A SAVE AT THE END. Andersen is giving up way to much space above his shoulders. Other then that, the byes showed speed.

Is Marchant your favourite player this week? Can he do no wrong? Do the refs only miss calls when the leafs should get the penalty? Don’t answer any of that. I already know the answer.
BillM Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 I'm starting to feel embarrassed for the Sens fan because I think he's actually serious. Perhaps a break from the internet until the playoffs are over. You might be able to caddy for a few Sens players in the mean time?
AKRISONER Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 lol 9-5 ahhahaa....hahhahahahahahaha.....MUAHAHAHAH you must have missed when marchand slide tackled johnsons ankle...oh and also when he but ended Anderson in the head.

Come on Matt, crap on the leafs when they are bad but that was no game given to the Leafs by the refs. I'm expecting some praise when the Leafs do well...otherwise you are no better then those ugly gnarled Hab trolls who have no real reason to live except to be a hater.

Yeah, no doubt they stepped it up and played a better game. I won't argue that. The fact that 5 of the series are 2-1 makes it no great feat for the laffs, especially being on the losing side. Laffs got one back by sheer compete level, Boston looked off but the laffs took it to them. Bruins will be a better team in game 4 for sure.
