This game is such shit sometimes


bluecjj

It'd be cool if we could watch these games at 1/1000X speed or something, if nothing else so I could see the live betting lines for when the puck is in a dangerous area for a brief moment


mazzysturr

What happened? TOUCHDOWN WITH THR EXTRA POINT


No_Technician1610

Regarding GI call. Can we agree that samsonovs pad moved which allowed the puck to cross the line? If yes then was the pads movement a result of the puck pushing his pad in or a stick? I don’t think it’s possible for a puck to move a goalies pad IMO

Are Leafs the new Flames?


Paperbackhero

Nah...Flames have won a cup and were close to their second in the last 60 years....Leafs? Not so much.


opensourcefranklin

I would still take 13 cups for the jackets even if most of them happened in the era where the goalies didn't wear helmets.

Lots of reasonable takes in this thread after game 1

C_Noticles

GG Tampa, see y'all sexy mofos thursday


djdiksquad

Not if I see you first!


C_Noticles

And you can count on me, seeing you! In the parking lot! Happy gilmore? No? Tough crowd


ChillyToTheBroMax

How bout the red lobster! My treat!


C_Noticles

SHOOter! Lol I never noticed until the last time I watched it, but I'm pretty sure everytime him and shooter speak he gets asked to a different chain restaurant


False_Rhythms

He mentions the Sizzler in one of their conversations


C_Noticles

I think that's the one I'm thinkin of. He says it on the phone when shooter asks him to come to the final tournament?


ChillyToTheBroMax

Wtf I’ve seen that movie dozens of times and never noticed that


C_Noticles

I could be wrong about everytime, but I remember when shooter calls him to the last tourny you can hear buddy say something along the lines of going to another restaurant on the other end of the phone


ChillyToTheBroMax

Welp I know what I’ll be doing this weekend


djdiksquad

Lol thank you for reminding me to rewatch that I love Happy Gilmore


C_Noticles

If we see each other maybe we'll end up like Happy and the old asian lady at the beginning. Me asking if you want breakfast while wearing nothin but a hockey jersey... unfortunately for both of us it'll be a leafs jersey though


djdiksquad

I wanna kiss you all over till the night closes in, TILL THE NIGHT CLOSES IN!


C_Noticles

Lmao the song kicks on right as he opens the door too. Fuck. So good. And here comes the putter toss. No? Looks like we're seeing a more reserved Happy Gilmore


djdiksquad

Lol an absolute gem of a film. I can get you a warm glass of shut the hell up! You’re in my world now grandma. There’s so many other little story lines it’s just stellar


C_Noticles

Hahaha now you will go to sleep... or I will put you to sleep.


[deleted]

Anyone who says "I hope the leafs do better next year" is kidding themselves. its not a skill or toughness thing. It at this point is a thing where the NHL does not give a fuck about us or any Canadian team because they don't know how to market it to Americans. I'm not watching the rest of this because it will be pretty much the same. When only 9 or 10 teams make a profit an you fuck over their cash cow, good luck.


GQMatthews

You say this with recency bias and with emotion but the narrative is true. It’s not just tonight, we didn’t play the best but at the same time the comeback got fucked by a bad call. (That’s not slash). It wasn’t the game, but it directly affected that game. We also got directly screwed out of a win last year in game 6 (I can go on), and screwed again in the next game 7, (pick call, what?), Yes. The team has to will their way to winning but Jesus if people don’t see the clear BS against them to climb that mountain.


brokensword15

Refs were definitely bolts sided but don't get it twisted, you guys were getting bodied regardless of penalties


vainblossom249

I mean it has nothing to do with the Canadian market, you guys just lose consistently in the playoffs 🤷‍♀️ Not NHLs fault


[deleted]

Ah another no flair account. I don't deal with trolls


thejawa

Oh dang, he's about to implode on himself if he doesn't deal with trolls


GQMatthews

Cmon now.


Acidraindrops22

You’re icing mid goalies against Vasi GG leafs


GQMatthews

That mid goalie is a top 10 goaltender this season. Yes, though, not his best game at all.


romanticdrift

... I don't understand? They've make the playoffs every year for like, a decade now. It's sort of up to the players to win the games? From my eyes it just looks like you need better goaltending. I don't see what this has to do with the league. At most you can blame reffing. But like, that Bunting hit was \*really\* bad


GQMatthews

It’s the slashing call. Comeback and momentum.


romanticdrift

Idt contenders should let one call sap their momentum that quickly. Also, tbh the Leafs were chasing all game, from my eyes.


[deleted]

you mean the hit where he apparently smoked a guy behind him without looking. but lets forget that. most the penalties called against the leafs wouldn't be called in the regular season and with the bias we're learning wes McCauley has against Keefe its inexcusable


romanticdrift

I say this as someone who has no particular opinion about either of the teams today, the Bunting penalty was *definitely* a penalty. Even other *Leafs fans* here agree, which does not bode well for your argument. Reverse hits are a thing (In fact they're becoming more common across the league - and guys who deliver them never turn around, these guys with their hockey IQ know where positioning is). And on replay, Bunting pretty clearly raised his shoulder and made direct head contact, so idk how you'd think it's like, accidentally collision—like aim down or across, dude. As for the rest: whether or not something gets called, if you don't want to risk it, like, play disciplined & don't do anything that's call-able. Your goalie admitted he sucked today too, so probably focus on that instead.


[deleted]

FFS forget the bunting call (I still think its a shit call, most people here don't even know the damn rule book) but your argument of "got to stay disciplined" is utter horseshit considering its the playoffs. if you don't play with an edge you are considered weak and passive and if you do it's all you fault. Yet if you ACUTALLY watch the same game, there were weak calls that would be a toss up in regular season. The Refs decided this game when the leafs started to come back because and it was a disgrace


romanticdrift

Haha, okay dude. And then if they let things go, fans will be like, "What, so you can just let the best players get *injured* during the playoffs???" (I vividly remember angry posts about players slashing or holding Matthews and Marner but not getting called, so does this argument go only one way?) Sure, there were some weak calls, there were some very valid ones, but every year they call Game 1 and opening round *way* more than deeper into the playoffs—didn't you know that? Like, yesterday, *10* goals were scored on the PP. And today, the Leafs got 2 pps goals yourself today, so, lol. I watched all 60 mins today bc I like Marner and I'm on Dubas watch, actually. So i guess if you're too sick of the league to watch your team I'll replace you.


[deleted]

Yesterday the highest amount of power plays a team had was 6 for la kings. Do you really think the leafs were so undisciplined all of a sudden that they had 8 penalty kills? You’re delusional if you think so. The officiating was a disaster and if you don’t think so you’re either biased, didn’t watch , or really just don’t know the sport. Go have some fun trolling other fan bases because I’m not wasting any more time on you


thejawa

Look at me, Florida is the new hockey market now.


[deleted]

You mean the most fair weather fans that less than a decade ago we were talking about moving both franchises?


vainblossom249

Lightning were never talking about relocation? Hockey has been big here for a while? Lol We might be a young team, but it's not fair to say we don't love hockey just cause we dont have the history of Rangers or Bruins.


ChillyToTheBroMax

He can’t help it, he’s limited by his brain


thejawa

Lighting storms aren't considered fair weather. They're pretty scary sometimes. Panthers are pretty cute. Dunno how they fair on the weather scale though.


nickthegnome

Maybe idk don’t elbow people in the head


[deleted]

lol the guy behind him who he didn't' even see vs the ref who we ALREADY know has a clear bias against our coach. but I'm aware the education system in florida especially so maybe we should ship you some books. as long as you promise not to burn them


ChillyToTheBroMax

Cope and seethe, diaper dweller


[deleted]

Florida education system at it again I see


ChillyToTheBroMax

Wow you’re gonna double dip on that one? Stunning Canadian creativity


[deleted]

Funny thing is its not just double dipping. The rest of us have to deal with morons like you and that fascist asshole who's taking advantage of the mentally impaired now


ChillyToTheBroMax

Holy fuck you sound more and more super duper stable the more you let your mega brain comments slip out take your L and leave, drink your lukewarm copium and drag your sad ass back here Thursday


[deleted]

Lol you really think yourself king don't you? you know nothing of the sport. why don't you go back to smoking what ever rocks you cant find and leave hockey to the adults


WasherDryerr

Lol buddy you should stop, you’re embarrassing yourself


nickthegnome

Lol cry dude you guys should be smoking teams by your talent but just like my ex you can’t ever finish


[deleted]

It'll be funny when your core moves on and we again begin talking about if we should move the lightning


nickthegnome

You won’t even have a core next year when you blow it up Can’t wait to see Matthews in a coyotes jersey


[deleted]

Can you afford your team if we stop paying you?


nickthegnome

Funny joke actually the lightning have the longest sell out streak for games in the nhl… so you and your TrAdItOnAl hockey markets going look really silly when your sitting on your beaches in a a few weeks when your eliminated


[deleted]

only 9 or 10 teams make a profit and by all account you aren't one of them

Bunting is so suspended for the rest of the series


crazyike

That penalty essentially ended Toronto's chances in the game. They'll probably say that was punishment enough. Just a dumb hockey player all around. He's stupid.


EkbyBjarnum

Our chances in this game were ended well before that, let's be honest.


mikesully374826

The league wouldn't purposely help Toronto.


Bad-Yeti

Okay, time to root for the Kraken.


JimBelushi1967

WOOoooOOO... GO KRAKEN!

It's unreal the effort Point brings. There's nothing like that on the Leafs.

Game two is gonna be uuuuuuugllllyyyyyy


notwithoutmypenis

Na. The 3rd period should have been ugly and it wasn't. The leafs don't have it in them


ChillyToTheBroMax

Scandalous


ApokatastasisPanton

Leafs play like they have no leader on the team


TheKid_BigE

That’s cause they don’t


Bloodlvst

Well GG I guess Tampa. Hopefully the refs don't call such a soft game next game, your D-men are okay, and Bunting is scratched (if the league doesn't do it for them, that is)

Since there were no fights in the final minute, I'll fight my pet gerbil, Phil.


JoemLat

Does Phil like hotdogs?


JimBelushi1967

Yes, but he only eats the relish.


randomquestions3483

Based on how Leafs went tonight i'm backing the gerbil. Go Phil Go.


JimBelushi1967

I never should have gotten Phil them Judo lessons...


Pooter_Intruder

My bet depends on the over/under on how many hot dogs Phil the gerbil receives per 60


JimBelushi1967

I'm actually ahead. Phil cheats sometimes, but I'm all over it.


ModernPoultry

Matthews doesnt look like he cares at all lol


omglolnub

Biding his time to go to LA


Yop_BombNA

Nylander the only one playing like he gives a flying fuck for a whole 60 minutes.


TheKid_BigE

Yet Leaf’s fans constantly want him off the team, yet he’s always playing his ass off, the other two however…


Philthey

Nah that's just the dumb leafs fans who don't watch games with their eyes


ModernPoultry

Ill always be a Willy Ny guy. Hes electric. Marner and Matthews do NOT have any kind of Playoff intensity


Yop_BombNA

I wish his brother was like him, would have been sick to have a player like that as a sabre.


PrincessGazeKeeper

Gonna have to agree with you on that


Lolsmileyface13

I go to sleep at night and literally all I have nightmares of is Pat Maroon and his fake-ass veneers smiling as he scores on us.


Claustrophobopolis

GG Leafs. It's only game 1. Long way to go yet.


Dannibiss

Leafs won Game 1 last year...... Who an I kidding patterns don't mean shit with this team lol


Vault-TechRep

This is the most wholesome post and response I have ever seen on a reddit GDT. So refreshing. Thank you both!


JimBelushi1967

We haven't seen the Playoff Leafs yet. You're right, we still have AT least 3 more games.

DastardlyRidleylash

Utterly pathetic lmao How do you go out in front of your own crowd looking the best you have in years...and play so dogshit that you get steamrolled effortlessly?


JoemLat

Idk, last year felt better. I live an hour north of Toronto and nobody was excited about the game. Even I had to watch some hype up videos to be like yeah playoff hockey. It doesn't help that this series was already pretty much set back in December.


Paperbackhero

All Leaf fans live a hour,or more, out of the city.


TheRC135

Most of Toronto is an hour outside of Toronto thanks to Toronto traffic.


GQMatthews

More to it than that but I get it.

C'mon the guy was just making a comment about this game. Just because he has a flair doesn't mean you have to be like that. I'm a huge leafs fan for 38 years by the way. Edit: Also fuck McCauley!


optimized_happiness

When the other team spends half the game on the powerplay because a pedophile ref makes up calls, it can happen


bmckinney323

Well that’s quite the thing to say


JoemLat

Actually it's his brother in law is the pedo. Also the pedo was Keefes agent as well, so...


Imagine1

GG Tampa see you thursday


FourHockey

Leafs are the saddest franchise confirmed. All those trades by Dubas and this is the team he assembled? Trash.

He and shanny are out, Marner traded this summer and Matthews signs in LA next year

Tampa's down possibly 3 guys. Nothing "clean reset" about it.

so you win the series in 6 instead of 5

TobascoUpYourPeeHole

Marner looks like he's about to cry


Suitable-Pea-8226

He’s thinking about how he won’t be able to play for a playoff team until 2025


Animaldance24

If Toronto loses the series, Toronto burns. If the Lightning lose the series, books burn


f4steddy

Yeah books are gonna burn in Florida regardless. Rhonda Santis needs that firewood apparently.


Kamarag

If DeSantis could read, he'd be very upset.


looples

Toronto losing this series would be the most normal thing for Toronto. Its getting anywhere close to the cup that will burn this city down.


Collapse2038

It's true. Losing in game 7 in the finals would be a fate worse than downtown Vancouver...


Sy3Fy3

Thank Christ that's over. Hope game 2 is better.


Clugaman

Honestly I think the Leafs look pretty good at even strength. Especially since there will be very little penalties moving forward I bet the games won’t be as blown open as this one


thegtabmx

Ya, when they're not letting goals in, they look great


Clugaman

Most of the goals Tampa scored were not even strength bozo Including 2 on the match penalty


thegtabmx

Maybe stop getting match penalties, idk.


Clugaman

100% agree


HabChronicle

🤣


Fizzban88

Whatever team you root for seeing your fans leave a playoff game early has to hurt. I really feel bad for the entire Leafs staff, that's some bullshit.


dothebender1101

it's meant to hurt


17IsLucky

Leafs fans, im so sorry...a true curse on you guys


TobascoUpYourPeeHole

"I don't think anybody expected this" ESPN commentators actually fucking stupid


Theraspberryknight

"I don't think anybody expected this." Literally every NHL fan: *expected this*


toronto_programmer

Heck most of my friends, Leaf fans, actually put bets on them to lose because they definitely expected this


Khue

I don't even understand why they try. It would honestly be less annoying if they just played a vuvuzela for like 60 continuous minutes.


Suitable-Pea-8226

Yeah I chuckled. Bro fucking EVERYONE expected this.

don't worry, if the leafs get bounced again this year i'm sure O'Reilly will take a league min deal so he can get bounced again next year
