LFR17 - Round 1, Game 3 - Powerless - Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 2 

Willy really pulled a reverse VGK

Fun Fact: Over the past two seasons, Swayman is 6-0-0 against the Maple Leafs, with a .959 save percentage and 1.31 goals-against average. He also has had four 30-save performances.

5 power plays in ONE GAME and you can’t score on any of them. Every year I question my choice to cheer for this team

How is no one talking about how almost every time marner is in the offensive zone he attempts a pass through multiple bruins legs and gives away the puck almost every time.

Officiating shouldn't be an excuse in a game where you got FIVE powerplays.

The problem with practicing the powerplay is that the Leafs will be practicing it against their godawful penalty kill so they'll probably think it looks pretty good

That's the thing, Bertuzzi didn't just fall. He threw his ass in the air and FLOPPED. If he just fell down I bet you they call it.

Bertuzzi launched himself - trip and a dive - carry on !!

Both teams got away with stuff, difference is Boston killed their penalties and made the most of their power play

Marner & Tavares making 22 mill to be outplayed by Jake Debrusk & Pavel Zacha. Disgusting to watch.

The thing that seperate good teams from great ones is overcoming adversity. Injuries, bad calls, being down in a series. The Leafs are not the only team this happens to. The problem with the Leafs is they seem to crumple in the face of adversity everytime.

Saying McAvoy flopped and not saying Bertuzzi did too is crazy

Keefe’s coaching ability in the playoffs is akin to a kindergarten learning to fingerpaint

Nylander or not, 1/11 on the powerplay with the greatest goal-scorer in the NHL is frankly shameful. Leafs coaching staff should feel embarrassed.

The part about "MacKinnon wouldn't have left the ice in the last 5 minutes"... maybe the Leafs didn't use Matthews that way in this game, but I watched them use Matthews exactly that way when he was on 69 goals in a tie game vs. Detroit in a meaningless game 80 of the regular season. He took a 58 second shift with a little over 5 minutes left, left the ice for a minute or so, and then played literally the entire last 3:33 of the third period. They tried harder to get Matthews 70 goals than they are trying to win a playoff game.

Leafs got 5 power plays and went 0/5. I don’t see how your blaming the refs, the leafs just blew it.

If I had a dollar for every time Leafs fans blamed the refs for a loss, I'd have enough money to buy the television rights in Canada.

This is entirely on the Leafs. Got 5 PPs. Only 3 PKs. Outscored 2-0. Got away with stuff as did BOS.

"The refs absolutely jobbed the Leafs!" is the Leafs' reaction to every loss, and frankly even to some wins, and it will never stop being hilarious

Oh, Steve, the Leafs had 5 power plays. Leafs fans never fail to find excuses.

Leafs now 1-6 in their last 7 playoff games at home. They are now 7-20 at home in their last 27 playoff games. The refs even gave the Leafs help lastnight giving them 5 power plays and only 3 for the Bruins.

How do you win in the playoffs ? Defense and goaltending . Where do the leafs spend the least amount of money? Defense and goaltending lol

Marchand is arguably the most valuable player in the NHL when it comes to playoff hockey. The way he can get into other teams' heads while also being close to a point per game player is amazing.

“Leafs got robbed by the refs” 0/5 on pp 😂😂

Gotta be honest Steve, Marner was absolutely atrocious out there tonight. The number of offensive-zone turnovers was unforgivable and a huge reason why the leafs couldn't get anything going on the powerplay.

let me get this straight: you get 5 power plays, convert on none of them, and your immediate response as the HEAD FUCKING COACH is to blame the referees. you couldn’t make this shit up if you tried.

Remember Tavares’ massive flop leading to the tying PP goal in Game 2?

Best quote from Steve this recap, “Yeah you put that line (4th) out there to prevent goals. Yeah, from which team?”

To be fair the Leafs dived like crazy and refs missed calls both sides

I can't believe a team is starting a goaltender who CLEARED WAIVERS in January in the playoffs and upset when he lets in bad goals. He's unrestricted next year and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Said Keefe should have been fired when they lost to the Habs in the playoffs, how he’s still here blows my mind

It’s impossible for leafs to lose without complaining about the refs. Missed calls on both sides. Leafs had 5 power plays. End of story

You had 5 powerplays and they specifically missed 3 calls for the B's, stop blaming the refs

Brad Marchand has more gaols and more points than Matthews, Marner and Tavares combined after 3 games.

Been a leafs fan since 72. I have cheered for them for decades. I have had high hopes for decades. I have had patience for decades. I’ve also had disappointment for decades. I’m not any less a leaf fan. I’ve just come to accept them for who they are. A good regular season team that gives me joy when they win a game… but I have zero expectations of any success when it comes playoff time! So, go leafs go… but until they show me playoff success, I’ll continue to doubt if they will.

The emergency goalie makes that save...the damned Zamboni driver makes that save LOL!

Bertuzzi looked like a Looney Tunes character diving into a tiny cup of water on the Marchand trip.

Had to stay up for this one

Anyone else rewatching while eagerly waiting for the game 4 video?

As a Bruins fan, I’m happy I found this page. Maple Leafs misery will never get old. You love to see it.

“Oh, am I fired?” “Oh, into the sun, yeah dude. You can’t score goals with THAT?!”

They always blame the zebras for their teams lack of teamwork.

Imagine failing on 5 power play attempts and thinking the refs are the main reason you lost...

Marner has 1 goal in his last 12 playoff games.

Leafs did not get jobbed by reffs they just blew it

How many times has Keefe complained about officiating???

What I've learned from this series is Jim Montgomery is coaching circles around Sheldon Keefe. I absolutely love it.

Steve I want you to go back and rewatch the 2nd period and just count the number of times that Leaf sticks hit Bruins heads. I count 5 (none called), then tell me again how Bert diving over Marchand’s stick is why the Leafs lost

It's hard to blame the refs when you get 5 powerplays and can't buy a goal. Anymore power plays and the Leafs would have been scored on short handed. Unless the Leafs play a team who are weakened by key injuries (Tampa Bay last year), they can't keep playing backup goalies against some of the best starting goalies in the League that are on the rosters of the top teams in their division. It's hard to blame a backup goalie for not being an elite starter. That's on the GM who put them in that position.

Coming from a penguins fan. Watched the game Leafs powerplay looked eerily similar to penguins power play which could not score most of the season.

Leafs fans complaining about what should have been coincidental minors when the officials gave them like 10 breaks is absurd

Marchand living rent free in every Toronto Maple leafs head

Oh can't forget the 5 POWERPLAYS you had. No goals and 3 shots. That's not the refs dude lmao

This isn't on the refs. The buds had five PP chances and blew it. They are cooked. It's over.

Leafs spent 1/6th of the game on the power play and are complaining about the refs LOL brutal

What about Domi shoulder checking Swayman going into a commercial timeout

Leafs inability to get it out of the corners and maintain puck control is bigger than reffing. You watch Bertuzzi trip with blue eyes, he dove on it so they went with a no call. Got caught pushing the sell...drop the refs and jump on the bad team play, they are better on paper, but not the better team. Get that going through your system.

Keefe keeps getting out coached like crazy... every post-season...

The elephant in the room for the Leafs Core 4 is - Matthews only generates between 33% and %50 of the assist compared to the current top 25 NHL assist leaders. That is a significant weakness for any NHL first line Centre. Last night Marchand was the super star not Matthews. There is no way with the above significant weakness - that Matthews should ever be paid the top NHL pay. Go Leafs go! 😀 Just fairly pay Auston the same as other top goal scorers get.

No call on Domi against Swayman is why there was no call on Mcavoy or Marchand after it

Yeah let's all pretend that Bertuzzi didn't dive😂Marchand's stick made contact with Bertuzzi's skates but the guy fell down like he was beeing shoved by an evil spirit 😂

Where is Mr. 69? I am sorry but 1 goal is not acceptable for the truckload of cash he is paid. As usual he is on a milk carton.

"Oh am I fired?" "Oh, into the sun, yeah dude!" LOL

I *cannot* believe Toronto fans think they had any disadvantage from the stripes. Watch the replay of Bert and Marchand. Marchand’s stick moves down and Bert jumps up. Blatant dive.

Talks about the art of falling down, yet watched Bertuzzi play an entire game.....sees nothing....got it.

You wanna blame someone. How about the Leafs themselves. They had 5 PP's and..... nothin'.

It’s been the same since they assembled this dream team. You don’t need tough individuals to make up for the mental weakness of the other 3/4 of the team. You need the whole team to be mentally tough. The thing is, they aren’t even close.

Also, the idea that the refs are somehow on the take to keep some second tier team with chronic performance anxiety down is quite comical

When Nylander seems like the only player that walks away with a net positive after that one. 😅

JT high stick on McAvoy not called, Jarncrok high stick on Pqsta not called yet all the Leaf fans seem to forget to mention them?

Back in the 80s, we used to say let 'er dangle! When taking a Slapshot. Now it means "go on a rant"!😅

Burtuzzi also dove when marchand tripped him

Leafs fan… hard truth: Marchand rarely gets away with things. Refs get him on ghost calls.

I still can't believe that McAvoy took a cross check to the back of the head from Domi during game 1 and nothing was called. The refs in the playoffs can't decide if they want the boys to play or if they want to be the reason a series is won/lost.

Bruins fan here because i just cannot get enough of the leafs fans and their emotions. Honestly. It's so amusing. when marchy tripped bertuzzi and it didn't get called and Freddie went on to score i was laughing so hard. Keep booing. Keep crying. Keep your caddies on speed dial. Golf season is coming for the leaves. 😂😂😂

For comparison to Matthews 18 power play goals, Sam Reinhart ended the season with 57 goals but 27 were from the Power Play & 5 were short handed. The man was incredible on special teams this season.

Let's not pretend that the Leafs weren't called for high sticking a few times either... They were 0-6 on the PP...can't really complain about calls if you're going O-fer with the man advantage

LMAO the referees jobbed the Leafs; they only had five power plays! What do you want, more man advantages to not score on?

Steve you seriously believe Burt was tripped...? BIGGEST DIVE OF LIFE!!!

Well, at least this time they didn't lose to a 42 year old zamboni driver who works for them 😂😂😂

SDPN tomorrow gonna be lit

How many PP did the leafs have? Also I kinda remember a high stick to the face of McAvoy right in front of the ref that went uncalled. And as a leaf fan you should never complain about not getting a call.

That Tavares hooking penalty was a classic.

When McAvoy took Matthews down I swear I thought the ref was going to drop and give him a 3 count. 👾

Oh fucking stop with the refs. The refs were bad for both teams, there was no advantage there.

steve dont start! high sticking in the first and 2nd no calls, no roughing on reves but mcavoy does the same gets called, there was plenty of interface between both teams that didnt get called, cross checks not called. were you not watching? leafs didnt get called for half their shit!

Any chance that producer Drew can add a timeclock to the live stream to make it easier for us to sync up to the game? Thanks

Steve describing TOR power play is just Boston down a man is such a funny take

Haha the call on Tavares was absolutely a penalty.

One group plays as a team, the other plays as the best on paper.....

I am absolutely dying at the reversible jersey for the Bruins cosplay 😂

The funniest part of this video is thinking Shanahan would finally want to trade one of the core 4. He would absolutely still say something like “trust the process” before getting canned 😂

The funniest thing about Keefe's comments is that, since the 2012/13 season, Marchand is 7th in PIM. Acting like Marchand has ever gotten the benefit of the doubt is mind-numbingly insane. Marchand is probably next to only Tom Wilson when it comes to players that can't even get away with breathing on another player. Call it like it is: Bertuzzi FLOPPED on that trip. You're trying to tell me that 5'9" Marchand can flip 200+ pound Bertuzzi nearly 180 degrees with his stick? Bertuzzi would have won a gold in olympic diving with that, and had he not shown off his improv skills, chances are both players do get called for something. But Bert did his best to bait a call and it didn't go his way, and now Keefe is sounding like Berube in 2019; making stuff up to cover HIS ass and deflect the blame elsewhere. 7th in PIM and you think he can "get away" with stuff is comedy GOLD Also, Leafs got away with at least 2 blatantly obvious high sticks tonight. A few interferences, holds and crosschecks in there as well. 0-5 on the powerplay and Leaf fans are still acting like the refs are in cahoots against them 😂

Murdered on calls?? Had FIVE powerplays..

Steve….you can not call Mcavoy flopping on John Tavares and NOT call Bertuzzi flopping on Marchand. I get it looked worse, but if you actually watch that replay, Bertuzzi 100% dives to get a call. Thats why it wasnt called.

I’m tired and in pain: The Leafs story

Marner was still terrible. Soft all over the ice, terrible turnovers and blind passes, shooting into legs causing odd man rushes coming back. The majority of leafs nation is done with playoff mitch. It's time to move on from him and use the money elsewhere

One of Steve’s best videos, especially the ending.

I feel bad for Dangles, he’s perpetually stick in the bargaining stage of grief when it come to Bruins/Leafs
