1000 dollar tickets, 17 dollar beers, 10 million dollar contracts, Leafs in first round, priceless.
Lol as Leafs fan I love your comment actually.😂 this is a new insult, I can live with this...😂 good job.
Nice One Shawn 😂😂😂😂😂
People seriously drop 1K to see this team? I guess it's CAD, but still...
Когда тампа забила 6 гол показали болещика торонто у него было выражения лица как будто его обокрали, он наверное так и подумал 1000 баксов за что?
Don’t forget $3000 in monthly rent. Most of these Toronto fans can’t afford to buy a house 😂
Leaf players really playing like playoff hockey is unpaid overtime to them.
This is great 😂
Then they should yield their playoff spot to a more motivated and skilled team - e.g., Penguins or Buffalo Sabres
It's not unpaid but is a big pay cut for most. Besides that other team was being mean and threatening.
This is what happens when you pay players for what they’re projected to be, not what they’ve done. Example is the Kings. Doughty, Kopitar and Quick got paid after the cups. Some might say it cap strapped the team as their play declined, but who’s to say they would have even been motivated to win those cups if they already secured the bag for regular season success/projected post season success
They get the same paycheck either way. Also, they know that the naive maple leafs fan will show up either way.
Leafs fans: “Something feels different this year.” Me a Leafs fan: “Yeah, we might get swept instead of losing in game 7.” 😂
there was one hilarious meme where they were guessing how many games it would take for Tampa to win the series and the answer was 3!

@@marock0815 Atleast you guys know what a 2nd or 3rd round looks like.
I might be wrong for this, but I genuinely feel like Jon Cooper strategically tells his players to pump the breaks during the regular season once they know they are in a playoff spot. They did this EXACT same thing last season, where they looked pretty bad in the final stretch, and then once playoffs come, they just look like a completely different team. This year is no exception. These guys played one of the best games I've seen of them all season long. It's absolutely incredibly what this Tampa team is capable of. Idc yeah Boston is great, but Tampa just flips that playoff switch, and they play harder, faster, and better than everybody else.
Yes, a good planning and resources management
Basically It looked like it last year, but it was more concerning this year with the losses and less depth Hopefully they will be back on top and expose everyone as frauds (Avalanche) or not ready for prime time (Drury's Rangers) Bruins are overrated and probably would fall apart in actual overtime, it's the same roster as always

What? Are you 12?
@Dougie where were you in 90s and 2000s?
It was one game. And a blowout is easier to bounce back from than an OT heartbreaker.
Reading the comments you made me Laugh MAO😂
The Lightning might be the best coached team ever. Their positioning, patience, and efficiency is unmatched. It’s incredible that they’ve been doing it for 4 years.
Especially with the players they have lost due to the Cap. Imagine if they still had Palat, McDonagh, Gourde, Coleman, etc....
They’ve been consistently one of, if not the best team in the league for over a decade. It just pains us Canadians to admit it.
Cooper beat Keefe 100-0 in the first period. I mean what a show, it was like a play where whole Toronto team was just actors. Those line changes in the opening minutes, two goals from high turnovers and Kucherov is just a special weapon.
Ya, they looked great tonight!
Uhh
tampa opened up a can of whoop ass, this is a playoff team, regardless how they play in regular season, people forgot and just got reminded. And I'm not even a fan, but it's undeniable.
Matthews face says it all
Soft as hell during the playoffs
I am sure the Leafs will win a cup sometime in the next century or two.

Next century they will pass round 1, next next century they will pass round 2, etc

I expected the leafs to lose a game but I didn't expect that would be atrocious on the first game. I mean wow.
What made you think leafs would be different???
Guess you don't know the Leafs that well
@Iulian S I thought they would actually win this game against this Tampa side. However I was tricked into thinking the leafs had any mental toughness.
@JohnjrF I watched the leafs now and then and each year I wonder if this is the time this year. I may be a bruins fan but I am also a hockey fan. I always wondered it the leafs will make it past the first round. They are a joy to watch in the regular season but they do this every year...
The game was over after the First Period...
I suffer from insomnia… but when April comes around, nothing makes me sleep better than seeing Leaf’s continuously disappoint their fans.
As a Leafs fan, im not even disappointed anymore. It’s an absolute comedy. Dont get it twisted. At this point im just seeing how many more round 1’s we can lose.

That went just as how I expected. Thanks for proving me right Leafs.
Leafs ability to find new ways to screw up is amazing. Watching them lose is more entertaining than seeing them win.

Whenever its Wes mccauley, the leafs always have the worst calls against them, I know he has personal issues against Keefe, but it feels as if whenever Wes is the ref, the game will be called unfairly.
This is the time of year that Leafs fans start getting that familiar feeling in the pit of their stomach...and it ain't covid!
Hard not to enjoy a game like that
I had to finish off something for work so I missed the first period. Thank you, work.

But it's hard work and they might get hurt.
В конце регулярки складывалось впечатление, что Тампа просто бросила играть, потому та активность, которую они показали именно в виде давления на ворота, в этом матче - была ожидаема. Эффективность их академического розыгрывания шайбы известна всем, а дополнительный эффект от прессинга - это именно про плей-офф! Главное при эмоциональных всплесках хранить порядок и дисциплину!

Is that what their fans said last year when the Leafs blew them out in the first game, 5-0?

THE NEWWW TORONTO GAPING QUEEFS!!!
What part of the Maple Leafs don't the leaf fans understand? This is unrequited love: as much as the leaf fans love their team, their team doesn't love them back.
LMAO. It’s so quiet you could hear dude howl on that 7th goal.
love after the 7th goal the music is BLARING to drown out the boos hahaha
No player regresses as much as Mitch Marner does in the playoffs. 11 million and hes scared to touch the puck. Playoffs is when you elevate your game to the next level, he peaks regular season and turtles in the playoffs.
My Habs played these guys in the final a couple of years ago, they're a very tough, experienced team.
If this is any indication of how this series is gonna go, it's gonna be one short series.
This game really upsets me because everyone is blowing up on Samsonov, but when you see the highlights, he was _literally_ hung out to dry. Major penalty. 5 on 3. And every time they score on him, is because the defence doesn't do _nearly_ enough to shut down shooting lanes. He really tried, unlike most of the team. This was so bad that I literally changed my bracket from Leafs to Tampa. My two concerns going into this was confidence and coaching. I was _pissed_ they didn't pick up Bruce Boudreau when he was _criminally_ let go the way he was from Vancouver. I wonder how different this would be if he was there. And now my concerns are completely validated in one single game. I don't care what their results are after this game. Unless they win the series, I have very little faith in their ability to bounce back from this, even if it ends up being a Game 7.
It's Lou Lamoriello's fault for letting them fire him.
Agreed. Keefe is dumb though and will put Woll in next game. He will destroy Samsonovs confidence even though this loss was far from his fault, instead of saying “this isn’t on you” he will sit him, destroy his confidence, we leave Woll out to dry as well and lose in 4-5 games.
Long story short: Keefe is a weak coach that needs to be fired
All right! Canada's National Embarrassment puts on a clinic for everyone! 🤣🤣🤣
When the camera showed that young leaf fan welling up after TB made it 6-2 Then went to matthews on the bench Priceless
The Lightning have an amazing ability to rapidly pass the puck back and forth, getting the other team's goalie scrambling back and forth until the net is wide open for a shot. The Leafs have an amazing ability to pass the puck directly to a Lightning player.
And here we are 12 days later and the Leafs won the series. The comments on this video did NOT age well AT ALL!
I'm coming back here to feel better about myself
The Leafs were saying that they really "looked forward" to playing the Lightning in the first round. I can't understand why that would be. The Lightning has been to the Stanley Cup finals for three straight years (winning twice) so are very seasoned/experienced in how to prepare/play in playoff situations. I don't care if they aren't the same team anymore. Their coaching staff is and knows how to prepare the talent they have. This is now a completely different situation (not the regular season). The Leafs have nothing but 1st round exits as playoff experience, not anything near what the Lightning have Now the Lightning has essentially taken away home-ice advantage from the Leafs. That's all the Lightning wanted to go into Toronto--to win at least one game which they just did and quite decisively at that.
As a Habs fans, I really hated to play the Lightning in any shape or form, because you just never know what they'll pull out under their sleeves. Leafs fans thinks that the Lightning series was a breeze, but they're wrong again!!!
What a waste of a typed out paragraph that means absolutely nothing now, hope it was worth your time 😂
@@Boogieboy138 Yah it means nothing now because the Panthers are now up two in the series.
@@Boogieboy138 Hey PAL---Gee...your Leafs LOST (just as I knew they would). Anybody who thought they were going to go far in the playoffs is the one "wasting their time" watching this sad sack bunch of annual losers. In fact, they only beat Tampa Bay because the Lightning's two best defensemen were out with injury and even then the Leafs barely beat them LOL. The Leafs aren't a team they're a bunch of overpaid players who play for themselves and not as a team. ($40 million alone to Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Tavares no less) Now will begin the rebuild AGAIN LOL. As for you, I'd hurry....I heard Tavares needs a caddy next week when he plays golf
@@Boogieboy138 It's over for Toronto. Really?? Was beating Tampa the Stanley Cup for Toronto??
Hedman and Cernak being out is a huge loss for the Lightning D. Maybe the Leafs can take advantage in Game 2.
Great team work. Outstanding performance. Very well done
As a sens fan this was a great game! Bolts in 5
I have them winning in 7, but if this game proves anything, it will be that the series won't last that long.
Yes first round exit again 👋⛳️🤣👍
Thus doing the entire hockey world a great favor 😅
Last season, Toronto beat the lightning 5-0 in game 1. Just because the first game is a stomping, does not mean your team is bad.
@@leeham6230 We're talking about the Leafs. I am certain they'll find some creative way to lose. It could be losing game 7, or losing game 7 after going up 3-1, or not even getting to game 7.
@@leeham6230 it’s a comeback for experienced teams like Tampa. Toronto is not that type of team. They get scared during playoffs. Their skill’s disappears for some reason.

Beautiful golfing weather coming!
Bruh they put ZERO effort into that game...
3-2 in the second period says otherwise. X D
They put zero effort into the playoffs. Period. That's why they continue to lose.
It honestly baffles me how people year after year pick the leafs to win in the first round. It's the same thing year after year yet people still get fooled by their regular season success. Samsonov nor Murray will take them anywhere and goaltending is the most important factor in the playoffs.
If defence suck, no goaltending would help
Hopefully DUmBASs and the Leaf Killer Shanaplan go after this season. But something tells me nothing will change.

They never really addressed their goaltending needs; Samsonov is a mere gamble. You need world-class proven goaltending to win a cup. Also, they've never put a sound defensive system in place and committed to it. What they have is lip service defense; they haven't the right players to do it. Poindexter with the glasses never really abandoned his offense only theory even if he says he has. I hope Poindexter finally gets a free ticket out of town at the end of the season so I can wave bye bye. This from a fan who attended a Leafs Stanley Cup parade when they had real defense and goaltending. PS I'm still hoping for a miracle!

About six of those goals reek of Maple Leasts softness in net and on defense. The curse continues!
Yes, defence (which includes goalie) was the weak point for the Leafs last night. But the Leafs blew out the Bolts in the first game last year, and that didn't decide the series.
The Leafs being ... the Leafs. Its that time of the year I guess, the golf green beckons. Utterly no grit on the Leafs team. This is a team built for the season to draw the crowds and generate revenue. Come playoff time the competitiveness disappears; Marner, Tavares and Matthews become invisible.
Marner was bad, Tavares is slow anyways and Mathews did just ok. Defence was terrible! Rielly sucked and so did Holl and Giordano.
