With all that's happened this year, the Leafs losing doesn't really register. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see them win it all and I think they still can but in the grand scheme of things this it's not a big deal.Peter D. said:

Thats why I went for a drive after 3-3 didn't watch any of the overtime. Get too stressed out watching the same crap. Soon as it was 3-1 I said to my bro here goes a 3-0 lead. Team in the Babcock days didn't know how to bury a team. Keep the pedal down. Go for the jugular etc. Same now which comes back to what I've been saying for a long time which is this team isn't a playoff team. Agree with guilt trip though let's focus on our health. Sad part is the Habs will probably get to the 2nd round which is more hard to swallow for a team that shouldn't even be participating in the post season. Have a good night folks.

It certainly seems that way. Could have used the Muzz tonight. Leafs will win tomorrow.L K said:

The Leafs had some pretty rough puck luck and the refs went back to ignoring Columbus hooks and holds. Andersen was also a little leaky - Dubois had exactly one place to shoot with his backhand on that last play and Andersen gave him way too much net. Ditto for the other two on one.
Overall, the Leafs deserved better. Our defence is a whole lot worse without Muzzin.

Look at the bright side. We'll have a shot at 1st overall if we lose this series! Watch the game for the excitement of it. It's a lot easier on the heart. That OT was exciting. Just didn't end the way we'd like.azzurri63 said:

I thought the refs let too much go in the 3rd. There were 2 maybe 3 def calls they ignored and the arm grab on Matthews in OT?Strangelove said:

Leafs losing to New Jersey after Domi elbowing Niedermayer in the head to end a Leaf win, that's karma. This is just adding insult to injury.L K said:
But the Leafs winning Game 5 on a Dubois OT own goal, that's karma.

I was at that game. ACC was going crazy and then Domi did that and all the air was let out of the place.
I don?t want their first cup in over 50 years to be won this tournament. I want a full season and I want to see a packed house of fans inside and out losing their collective minds.

If Muzzin had been playing then things would have been mucho different.

It's one thing to lose a series when the team is outmatched (Capitals series), it's quite another when they control most of the game and then stop doing anything useful in the OZ leading to repeated collapse of defensive structure and goaltending.
The Jackets have no business being in this series when the Leafs are on. Their fate is entirely within their own hands.

Hasn't the home team won every game in this series?

I'm pretty sure it's been a 2-2-1 format, with the Leafs being the initial home team. So the home team lost Game 1.WAYNEINIONA said:

Well that shoots down that theory.
