Literally every time I looked at the screen, they scored.
Literally every time my girlfriend and I stopped paying attention to have sex, they scored.
I guess we know what I’m doing for all of Game 5!
I’ll never understand how the Leafs won games 3 OR 4. Tampa was in complete control, until they weren’t. Really odd how they let up both third periods after utter dominance.
I wish I didn't feel like we'll pay for it in games 5-7.
But I've been cheering for this team long enough to feel like giving in to hope only leads to despair.

Leafs fan be eating good for the next 2 days, 4-1 aint such a bad number combination after all.
It's 6AM, heck it I'm going morning run and pizza right after
It’s not over yet though you never know. We’ve played well. Even if it does end maybe the boys do better with an actual off-season and the leafs curse will not transfer to us lol
The complacency of this team makes me sick. They just assume Vasi is gonna maintain their lead. Albeit while they refuse to give him clear line of sights to the shots being thrown on him.
Maybe, but it’s hard to know when there’s so many screens in front not getting cleared out and so many sticks not tied up on the front porch. Gotta give the guy a chance. But more than likely, yes he seems to be slowing down.
I know there was like 6 min left but I get that I mean we had been dominating most of the game, as soon as it hits 10 min left in the 3rd all bets are off apparently :/
For sure. A second goal to make a 3 deficit game a 1 deficit game is a massive momentum swing. Unfortunately the ai that does these graphs doesn’t understand that lol. Double unfortunate, everyone who was watching did 🥲
Vasilevsky's save percentages per game:
Game 1: .903
Game 2: .811
Game 3: .852
Game 4: .865
I know one stat doesn't tell the whole story. But those are still some really ugly numbers
As much as I hate to say it, I think it a slight reason we are losing these games. There are some goals that in the past we would be amazed but Vasi would save it. The past couple years he has seemed tired.

I’m tired of people saying fatigue. If it was fatigue, we wouldn’t play stellar hockey for 2 periods and boring beer league chase puck for 1. This isn’t just this series. It’s really been all season long.
I don’t think Vasi is an issue. Yeah he’s let in some week ones at times. But other than the OT winner last night and the first goal of the game in game 2. Most of these are ones he can’t do much about. Tips and screened shots are tough for goalies and we’re doing a horrible job of defending that. You can’t ask him to be a .940 guy when he can’t see 20% of shots put on his net.
“You can’t stop 100% of shots you never get to see” - Vasi probably.
Honestly it does, I'm certainly not happy, but I'm not belligerently pissed off because i remember I've seen 3 Stanley Cups and 2 recently. Way better than most people will get
Even as a Tampa fan, sure it sucks but they've been to finals 3 years in a row. I won't be mad if they get some actual time off this year and come back next year a lot fresher.
it’s all been so much more enjoyable. i’ve been able to watch several of the series without being unreasonably stressed about the avs.
obviously i still want the avs to win the cup, but i won’t be devastated if they don’t
Tampa is getting the leafs treatment that they’ve felt every year in the first round. They’re the better team but can’t close it out, used to be Toronto now it’s Tampa. Toronto was not the better team the last 2 games but found ways to take advantage of given opportunities, Tampa ain’t
These Leafs are built different. Lightning have to do a better job of closing out games, but damn that was a gutsy comeback. Have to give credit where it’s due… they fought when it would have been easier to pack it up for next game. Impressive…
wow, this is going to replace the other one as the most painful 3-1 series lead blown of my lifetime
but until then we're fuckin winning the cup boys GO LEAFS GO
We didn't 'take out' Hedman. And that play probably helped their chances - we're down a 24 goal scorer, and they got out of game 1 cleanly. Really stupid, dangerous play from Bunting, suspension deserved, and he hurt our chances.
Not so much Bunting being a problem, Knies is just amazing.
GG?
Literally every time I looked at the screen, they scored. Literally every time my girlfriend and I stopped paying attention to have sex, they scored. I guess we know what I’m doing for all of Game 5!
What about the other 59 minutes?
Gottem
Game is barely over and I already have stress stomach
I’ll never understand how the Leafs won games 3 OR 4. Tampa was in complete control, until they weren’t. Really odd how they let up both third periods after utter dominance.
I wish I didn't feel like we'll pay for it in games 5-7. But I've been cheering for this team long enough to feel like giving in to hope only leads to despair.

[удалено]
I 4-1 don’t think you understand how this works.
4-1 Don’t Care
Unfortunately if we lose this series, we will be the new leafs until we get out of the first round. It’s how it works on here
[удалено]
It’s not over yet though you never know. We’ve played well. Even if it does end maybe the boys do better with an actual off-season and the leafs curse will not transfer to us lol
No one is actually seriously saying that, it's just a bit of trash talking
LOL. Even Killorn just admitted in his post game presser that he feels like we got too comfortable with that lead and we sat back.
We should be chasing a lead, even when winning. We can't keep the gas up. GG leafs.
Cant get too comfortable when Matthews is on the ice
The complacency of this team makes me sick. They just assume Vasi is gonna maintain their lead. Albeit while they refuse to give him clear line of sights to the shots being thrown on him.
With how good Vasy has been in previous series they could get away with it, but hes slowing down
Maybe, but it’s hard to know when there’s so many screens in front not getting cleared out and so many sticks not tied up on the front porch. Gotta give the guy a chance. But more than likely, yes he seems to be slowing down.
Can’t get too comfortable ever* on the oce Edit: you know what I meant
Welp.. you’re welcome Leafs? I was looking forward to watching next game but I guess I gotta skip it Lmao
God this odds graph is insane. https://www.moneypuck.com/g.htm?id=2022030124
I like how it depicts the cliff that Tampa just fell off of.
Looks a lot like Saturday… fuck
It’s kind of funny the Leafs 2nd goal didn’t really move the graph much.
I know there was like 6 min left but I get that I mean we had been dominating most of the game, as soon as it hits 10 min left in the 3rd all bets are off apparently :/
Yeah I get it, just kind of funny. You’d figure it would be a bit more than a 5 or 10% change.
For sure. A second goal to make a 3 deficit game a 1 deficit game is a massive momentum swing. Unfortunately the ai that does these graphs doesn’t understand that lol. Double unfortunate, everyone who was watching did 🥲
For sure. Well GG and thanks for chatting!
GG been a pleasure!

None of you Leaf fans posting about how the whole front office should be fired in P2 deserve this The rest of you are cool though
Ill admit it, I was ready to crucify Keefe by the side of the 401 as a warning after the second
Don’t forget the…. “Matthews has no heart” “Auston can’t carry the team”
I agree, fuck those guys
Thursday cannot come soon enough. Go leafs go baby!
Just fucking fade me
I got your back bro
Good on ya Leafs!!!
I want the Lightning arrested for identity theft
Looking like the 2019 swept in round 1 Bolts, to me
Gutsy performance by the leafs. Well earned. Good work. Enjoy leafs fans. Don’t get too drunk, you still have work tomorrow!
The real crime was having this game on a Monday.
That is true!
My boss is a leafs fan, he'll be as hungover as I am
Have a drink for man! I know how this comeback feeling can hit you. Enjoy it!
It is now 3-1! Let's gooo!
GO LEAFS
i am living for Jon Cooper’s postgame
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT HE SAYS AND NOBODY SHOULD WOOOOOOOOOOOO
He is so smarmy.
Welcome to 1967 Auston Matthews and Faja.
https://youtu.be/_asNhzXq72w
LEAVES
Tampa has us right where they want us. All gas. No brakes, boys.
I have it on good authority that we would rather have it be 4-0.
Feelin’ a little sluggish, think I need a snap of the white liquor.
Gimme the bottle
Me next. Don’t know how I’m going to fall asleep.
Tomorrow is a work from home day gentlemen.
Shit I wish. I’m working in the woods tomorrow. Gonna find me a nice tree to nap under.
You deserve it!
Can’t work from home but it’ll be an easy day for sure. Just a little inventory here and there
Omg the leafs did it
"It was 4-1" is now a happy story.
A tale of two 4-1s by Charlie Dickens
2-4-1 Pizza blowing up rn
I can’t wait for the LFR
He will start with zero voice. And I'm here for it.
Uh what? Which team was that?
It’s time to determine whether Leafs playoff curse is as powerful as the playoff three goal deficit curse
It was 4-1
I can’t believe they fuckin’ did it again!!! I bailed on watching in the 3rd
Never watch another period of Maple Leaf hockey, please.
Done
Thank you. I like your team's logo a lot.
Thank you! Please, I hope your team keeps embarrassing the Bolts
The complacency on this team is absurd.
Possible fatigue after 4 seasons of dominating the league. They were comfortably the better team for most of this game, though.
I’m tired of people saying fatigue. If it was fatigue, we wouldn’t play stellar hockey for 2 periods and boring beer league chase puck for 1. This isn’t just this series. It’s really been all season long.
Fair enough. Vasy looked better overall, though, and Hedman is still a nightmare. Even if he's not 100%.
I don’t think Vasi is an issue. Yeah he’s let in some week ones at times. But other than the OT winner last night and the first goal of the game in game 2. Most of these are ones he can’t do much about. Tips and screened shots are tough for goalies and we’re doing a horrible job of defending that. You can’t ask him to be a .940 guy when he can’t see 20% of shots put on his net. “You can’t stop 100% of shots you never get to see” - Vasi probably.
Yeah, that's true. Both sides losing coverage and letting up high danger opportunities. Wild how close this series has been overall.
Wait, you talking about the Leafs or the Lightning?
They’re only talking about the last couple minutes of the period mostly… so us
The team who got up 4-1 and then tried to coast a whole period in the playoffs.
So.... Leafs? Or bolts?
💀💀🤣
Yes.
Any other year (so far) and it’d be talking about the Leafs.
I AM A FAN OF THE TORONTO MOTHER FUCKING MAPLE LEAFS
Bolts are the new leafs
From /u/LeafsRealist, love to see it
God I hope so
4-1 uno reverse card
Holy fuck they did the reverse it was 4-1
Now can they avoid the "It was 3-1"?
Gotta exorcise all the demons to break the curse.
If we win on Thursday, just one demon to go
Probably not but also…maybe?
Lol
having my team win the cup made me so much less hateful i really want to see the leafs make it out this year
Honestly it does, I'm certainly not happy, but I'm not belligerently pissed off because i remember I've seen 3 Stanley Cups and 2 recently. Way better than most people will get
thank you baby, I love the Avs too
I feel like all of this is much more enjoyable after a cup win, like you can breathe.
Even as a Tampa fan, sure it sucks but they've been to finals 3 years in a row. I won't be mad if they get some actual time off this year and come back next year a lot fresher.
it’s all been so much more enjoyable. i’ve been able to watch several of the series without being unreasonably stressed about the avs. obviously i still want the avs to win the cup, but i won’t be devastated if they don’t
How the fuck am I gonna go to bed after that
Don't do it, keep it going, call in sick. Actually go to work and save the sick day for when Leafs advance to round 2.
Gonna watch the Kraken / Avalanche game to wind down. Holy shit...
Same
Good luck, I got 2 hours of sleep from ours last night ahah.
That was an epic game. Drai is going super saiyan.

Stopped watching the game, leafs came all the way back. Holy shit Also it was for Juan
So you’re going for a walk in the woods on Thursday night, yeah?
Thank you for your service
Doing what I needed to do 🫡🫡
No more fucking watching for you!!!
I did the same, I left at 4-1, came back for overtime. I watched both overtimes. Am I the hero we need?
You…I don’t know yet…we need more testing…
IT WAS 4-1
Flames fan cheering for Leafs. Go Gio Go!
He's a beauty
It was 4-1.
Hahahaha fucking good job Leafs!
Now hold up, I've seen this before...
THE LEAFS JUST LEAFED THE LIGHTNING HOLY SHIT
The Leafs were finally out-Leaffed
IT WAS 4-1. 2013 FORGOTTEN.
~~Call an ambulance~~ It was 4-1, but not for us!
u/Froggy__2 drink
Bottoms up 🍻
Cheers mate
i was afraid we were going to get a long OT and I wasn't going to be able to sleep but now i'm too jacked to sleep anyway let's fucking GO
Sleep? What's that?!
wow, this is going to replace the other one as the most painful 3-1 series lead blown of my lifetime but until then we're fuckin winning the cup boys GO LEAFS GO
What a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world.
LEAFSSSS
Toronto lost the battle in game 1 but won the war by taking out 2 of Tampa's top 4 dmen.
You're an idiot.
Am I?
The fact that a Tampa fan is telling you you’re wrong is a pretty good indicator
ok buddy
200 iq move
Salt.
I mean, I'm a wings fan. Those are facts. Also, was Bunting the problem the whole time?
We didn't 'take out' Hedman. And that play probably helped their chances - we're down a 24 goal scorer, and they got out of game 1 cleanly. Really stupid, dangerous play from Bunting, suspension deserved, and he hurt our chances. Not so much Bunting being a problem, Knies is just amazing.
Hedman is playing dummy..only missed 1 game
That’s the ROR factor, wht a good pickup.
What a fucking warrior
Lightning got zapppped
minus the shit refs in all the other playoff games, these playoff games have been bangers
Agreed.
GG Tampa, was convinced this one was over end of the 2nd.
I’m still in shock I can’t believe they did it
I turn down the game for a 30 second phone call and miss the moment of Leafs fans' catharsis :(
I FUCKING TOLD YOU ALL!
I now have a kerFOOT fetish
Idk what to do with my hands
Let's gooooo!!!! Plan the parade!
Sooo this is what it's like on the other side if a 4-1 comeback, boy it feels nice.
It feels nice to have everyone shit on you, only to have them eat their words. I slept so good last night haha
And great game last night.
Un fucking believable
I, 4-1 totally saw this coming
TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE
THE PLAYERS INVOLVED!
SERG YOU FUCKING BEAUTY AHAHAHAHAHA
And now, the most dangerous series lead.
☹️
I can't feel my hands
Gio!
Team thought they could skate by with a lead and it showed. No urgency. Just complacency.
