Toronto Maple Leafs Game 4 News & Notes: Possible Lineup Changes, Hedman, Samsonov & More!

[@Mrvegas6666]

There's been more then once in this series so far where I got a little teary eyed because they look like a Team...They're playing the way we all have been wishing they would...Its beautiful to watch, we NEVER win those overtime games but this time we did it...Its our time now and I think if we can slay the demon that is Tampa we are going to Slay the next one in the Boston Bruins.

[@davegray7551]

Last game nylander was coasting and gave up the puck too often with bad passes, and allowing tampa to get the pucks in the corners when he clearly could have gotten to it first. He did this last year in games 6 and 7 and we know how that ended. Nylander refuses to fight along the boards in HIS own end and just stands there and checks NO ONE! You got the talent Willy, use it or stay home. Go Leafs Go!

[@peterrobertson2580]

He did throw the puck to the fornt of the net on O'Reilly's tying goal, which was the right play at the right time. Not entirely disagreeing with you, but that was a key +ve play.

[@davegray7551]

@@peterrobertson2580 Agree it was a key play, but those lazy spells nylander goes through can cost us games.

[@late3619]

Kerfoot shouldn't be in the lineup when Bunting comes back. He brings nothing to the table, he doesn't hit, he can't win puck battles, he doesn't score, he's on the 3rd forward pairing on the PK, that's it and you could easily put someone else there.

Great video but it becomes obsolete quickly. Try to get these out right after the game or the next morning so they can get more views!

[@DownTownSports98]

I work nights. Didn’t get home until 1:30 am the night before. Had errands to run today. These videos go up as soon as I can. I’ve worked 9 of the last 11 days for TSN. Have been sick as well. I’m surprised these have even gotten done. I understand the excitement, though. But between here and TSN I’m putting in close to 60 hours a week the last two weeks

[@jesskoffman4930]

@DownTown Sports You are the only analayst that goes in depth, not just talking off the top of their head and copying what others say. I've been watching since you had 50 views. Glad to see the success and bright future. 🌞

[@brianwilliams8475]

There is a picture of the leafs leading 3=1 and losing the series in my mind. Words are words but hockey is played on the ice. It is time for Toronto to put up and win. I saw the leafs win their last cup and would love to watch them win another. So go leafs go

[@EmitRelevart]

😶‍🌫Can you imagine Knies, O'Reilly, and Marner on a line? I'd love to see that!

[@NotMyName78]

Manner being paired with 30-60 goal scorers is much more appealing to me

[@EmitRelevart]

@@NotMyName78 Except that combo hasn't gotten anywhere near a 60 goal pace this season. Playoffs are so different. I think Marner getting that puck to someone like O'Reilly, the guy who scores playoff style goals, would be more productive. Either way, I'd still love to see it even if it's just for 1 period.

[@jesseburke3990]

The puck was covered they poked it from under goalie to go in was didn't think it was a quick whistle

[@stewtube1240]

Simmons ???

[@tml184]

no

[@maxentiusdecimus9341]

I’m pretty sure showing a short clip for the purpose of commentary is covered under fair use

[@DownTownSports98]

It’s 3 consecutive seconds. Just not worth the risk for me

[@doubledcanada]

Bunting should replace kerfoot!

[@EmitRelevart]

Bunting is too much of a liability. He should just stay in the press box. You know the refs are going to make up calls against him because they hate him. The calls are lopsided enough as it is without Bunting in there. He'll end up costing us a game (like he did in game #1) and/or the entire series (if he hasn't already by costing us game #1).

[@peterrobertson2580]

@DTSB ... we all want to say its a right of passge, winning a game like that. We all hope that they turned a corner in that game. Time will tell but your "don't tell me you didnt feel something" comment was on the money. What might be more on the money is ... did the players feel something?

[@bvyner5727]

Kerfoot needs to step it up. He has been totally invisible and useless!

[@kennedypollard467]

Useless.... no, but yes he can be better.

[@bvyner5727]

@@kennedypollard467 He was a -2 +/-, 0 shots, 0 points (0 points in series)1 hit, 2 blocks. Yes he is on the penalty kill sometimes, and is somewhat "defensively responsible".... He makes 3.5 million per season!!! He needs to be way way better! Maybe not totally useless, but close.

[@late3619]

Agree, he brings nothing to the table to help in playoff style hockey. He should be out when Bunting comes back.

[@mattchat4707]

Agreed, he's not been as visible lately, but it's a long road to the cup.

[@Scottie444]

Before Bunting's escapades I had him making way for Knies. Gives away too many silly penalties to be in the shutdown line.....

[@jesseburke3990]

Bunting hut helped the leafs in the long run he just played a Boston and tampa kind of game hit hard and dirty to knock players out of the game and fans are mad at him he helped them win these games

[@EmitRelevart]

😶‍🌫I guarantee you that if a Leaf player did what Stamkos did they'd have gotten an instigator penalty and a 10 minute misconduct. The only reason Matthews fought was because he had no choice (he was getting punched repeatedly in the head), and in that "fight" he never even removed his gloves! Just look at the reg season where not only did we get an instigator (when the fight sure look mutual to me) but 17 minutes in penalties (no one even knows what the misconduct was for). The refs are so blatantly biased against the Leafs.

[@derekpaddon9553]

Tbh… I’m really not seeing what other people are seeing … this team really isn’t that much better , Samsonov is a decent goalie benefitting from a defensive structure. He has been good in close I’ll give him that but I don’t think he can take the leafs to a cup…Dubas whiffed on the Murray thing and that will be his downfall and why he will be removed as GM at seasons end. The Leafs should have had a way better Tandem then Murray-Samsonov, expecially when you have Georgiev and Kuemper available . There’s absolutely zero reason why you need to go out and get a injury prone goalie over them… I wanna be optimistic but Tampa has much more experience and a way better goalie. I see Toronto being eliminated in 7. I just do….

[@andrewwills8516]

Toronto Maple Leafs are going down in the first round to go on to win the local municipal golf course Cup 🤓

[@billyblazes1135]

Morgan was back before the others, he had a 2 minute penalty

[@EmitRelevart]

Penalty for what? The refs even said there was no penalty on the play (after the fact), and no arm when up when the play happened (according to the game announcer) yet there he was in the box. Ridiculous. Funny how all this crap that Tampa did and the Leafs only came out with a 2 min power play. Should have been at least a 5 on 3. Tampa gets away with way too much. But like Keefe said, they knew they'd get away with it... well played (having the refs in your pocket).

[@tml184]

Where's game 4 reaction? C'mon Brown. You're behind.

[@doubledcanada]

Hey you need luck sometimes to get the job done let's face it . This time it was in leaf favour for a change!

[@TorontoSportsFan]

O'Reilly hatty incoming.....

[@Harosho]

Pretty sure he broke his foot blocking that shot

[@mattchat4707]

He's earned it.

[@8JFJK8]

We were terrible last game. Couldn’t make a play. Too much dump and chase where we never won the chase battles. I would take out Holl and put Liljegren in. Our D men were looking too slow, couldn’t pass the puck up the ice or get it out of our zone.

[@gregknight3901]

look if the leafs want to win this series they have to go with the same lineup , tampa wants them to to panic and put in the tough guys lol it ain't gonna happen MAN UP BOYS NO MORE PICKING UP STICKS LOL

[@CoolsBreeze]

JT needs to show up. He is so inconsistent and just disappears.

[@thefozzybear]

Leafs are going to have to play the dump-and-chase game, Tampa won't give Leafs room to skate in the zone, Leafs need to be patient and get those garbage playoff goals by crashing the net.

[@CoolsBreeze]

Hilarious how Hagel is chirping Schenn as irrelevant. Hagel hasn't won shit and is on a team that has won without him. Hagel has nothing right now.

[@tomfilipiak3511]

Tampa is done!Great team,but to much hockey in the last 3 years,plus Maple Leafs know they gotta win!

[@jesseburke3990]

There beating vasi because shooting from point with screens and guys n front of net he is one of the worst at tracking them kinds of shots that's what tampas ex assistant coach said the other day.

[@kazimierzbednarski898]

Keep in Knies, bring in Bunting, sit Kerfoot, sit Kampf and bring in Simmonds.

[@Gl-my8fw]

NO..... kampf is far too valuable to this team

[@tml184]

Kampf is needed.

[@andrewwills8516]

Toronto Maple Leafs crying making the refs cheat 🤓🤓🤓

[@StoneMason103]

Im feelin some type of way for sure but I’ve got $20 on Tampa tonight anyway. Worst case it’s an emotional hedge🥲

[@WalkableBulb905]

I don't know who's winning this game. I honestly thought bolts would win game 3. Bolts will probably be a little tired after giving 100% effort in game 3 and leafs will probably show a lot more effort tonight

[@mattchat4707]

I have to go with the Leafs in this one, for all of the reasons that @WalkableBulb905 mentioned.

[@EmitRelevart]

Sadly, Tampa will likely win tonight. Just listen to Stamkos et al after the last game. They weren't phased by that loss at all and they intend on playing the same game against the Leafs tonight which the leafs (and Keefe) seem to have no answer for.

[@WalkableBulb905]

@EmitRelevart they will definitely play the same game or at least try but they won't have the same amount of pressure. It'll be a close game

[@StoneMason103]

Yep this series has made me a good amount of money
