LFR18 – Game 5 – Igor Again – Rangers 4, Maple Leafs 1

33 comments

1. Pending UFA Shesterkin is about to give teams nightmares all season

2. Park Reaves and Knies in front ffs.

3. Leafs are complete garbage.
   Overpaid for Mathews- Marner-Nylander- Tavares

4. i know Igor had a great night, but I feel like it's getting slightly overrated – NYR was the better team through two periods. TOR had a great third period push – and Igor responded. but you can't play one period and win a game.

5. I don't understand why they don't try knies at center. Instead of insisting on Nylander playing center. Knies is a dog and plays hard. I want him to get a shot at center.

6. Over dependency on Marner-Tavares-Mathews. If i was there live i would have bood those bastards

7. Relax. Leafs played good game
   Can not win every game. It's only game 5 beat by good team

8. @ 13:15 "This tendency might be the number one thing keeping them out of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th round in the playoffs…is their inability to score greasy goals…that don't look beautiful but like they're in the back of the net." …Oh, like the Lafreniere goal that you dismissively hand waived away as a combo of puck luck and the Refs fault despite the fact that it came from strong forecheck pressure and an ability to stay on the puck hunt even when the plan to generate clean, pretty goals falls apart and you have to adjust and adapt…?…that goal that you not so subtly intimated that the Rangers didn't deserve..? Dude. You can't have it both ways. You just ripped the Leafs for not cashing in on broken plays, and scrambling around the net…right after deeming this same exact kind of scenario as 'cheap' or completely lucky because it went against your team. Normally, I really like your commentary and think you're making valid points but this some serious homer googles and it comes off pretty bitter. It's frankly not a great look.

9. I can't wait to inevitably say Steve was right about Tavares. But so far im not seeing it as bad as Steve does.

10. i literally had this conversation at the start of the video in my head… "can…can we fight someone? like it worked well last time".

    edit: not for toronto… for Blues v Carolina.

    its … I dunno REFRESHING… to watch not you suffer.. I dont enjoy that. Im saying teams with payrolls in not even the same god damn atmospheres at us… still lose. Its not a knock on you, its not a bonus to us.. thats just HOW TIGHT this fucking league is. Watch every game? Damn right. One game or series of games can MAKE or break making the playoffs. My own Blues… didnt make the playoffs after losing to the SHARKS… 3 times last season. No really thats what kept us below the playoff line. If we were in the EAST?… we would be in… but I digress (ZOMG EAST COAST SO MUCH STRIONKER etc).

    Im just… so fucking torn. I want the leafs to do well. Why? Berbube. The man is a legend here. I also.. dont like the leafs very much. Why? The fan base is just… insufferable not to mention the media that that team has to endure.

    Steve… sir… I do not relish in your pain… I revel in your story telling ability… win or loss (though lets face it… your loss videos are.. LEGENDARY).

    edit 3?

    can regional sports networks… just fuck off already? I want to watch MORE hockey… not less. I dont want to be locked in to my region.. I want to hate watch teams… or love watch certain coaches and players. Why is watching the sport I love… SO GOD DAMN HARD… make it stop.

    ughhhhh

    edit 4….ish: I miss hat picks and dangits.. hoping you dont become a Ray William Johnson and irrelevant for one of the better things you were known for.

11. Best team in the league don't over react

12. Does a original 6 meeting really matter?

13. Not worried about the 1st or 4th lines sounds like watching the Boston forward group rn 😂

14. I can’t believe we are saying “we need goals” yet the core four who take up most of the cap space are all forwards who are supposed to be giving us GOALS! I love JT but it’s time for him to take a hometown discount 3 mil per season (no trade clause) . That gives us space to re-sign Knies, Robertson,McMann who all look promising… we don’t need to have another Hyman situation.

15. He really promoting twitter. think he slick 😂🤣🤣

16. Same core.. same results…

17. It's actually fitting that John Tavares has an anti-5G WIFI amulet because that man skates slower than a dial-up modem you used back in 2005.

18. Damn rangers.
    All we can look forward too is the inevitable bounce in the playoffs.

19. Lawl the leafs have you makeing excuse's for them now ….down 2 nothin in your barn on Saturday after time off…not ready ?wow glad we got a new coach makeing all the difference. Have i seen this before? big game against big team big loss

20. Tavares needs more Amulets!!!!!1!

21. 35 29 shots BTW

22. Who deserves the “Hard” chain this game?

23. CHANGE UP THE POWER PLAY !! It doesn't work…

24. The attitude problem is real, that's so on point. The thing with that is that it makes question putting the C on 34 even more. Best player, no question. Best captain? Heck no. Berube needs a guy on the inside, a driver of effort. That's not Matthews.

25. It’s Covid. Johnny prob has long covid like Jonathan taves who had to retire

26. Leave Tavares out of the conversation, why isn't Knies on the PP1 anyway? He's an animal!

27. steve if it makes you feel any better about jt miller in fantasy. I had marner playing and krider benched (because every player I had was playing and I have to bench someone) THANKS MARNER

28. What documentary is he talking about?

29. Knies gonna be 6m+. Tavares should be in the 3s

30. Refusing to shoot on a 3 on 1, and allowing the other team to set up and get a shot on net EVERY TIME THEY ENTER THE ZONE?

    Stop this "goalied" bullshit.

31. Igor out there showing why his team were Regular Seasons Champions last year.

32. John Tavares's 5G Amulet let us down tonight.

33. Man, this was such a slow burner. I was knocked of after 1,5 periods. Well it was almost tam in here then. Lol.
