I wouldn’t say that. Any NHL calibre goalie would have looked good against them tonight. Bobrovsky was the 2nd best goalie on the ice, but behind the team that put in a way better effort.

Leafs took a lot of low shots on Bob. He isn't beatable down there
 
I think, in reality, they are probably done. Best players invisible once again. So very disappointing. Matthews in particularly is completely unequipped to deal with this time of year.

Injury or no injury the guy for his size is a joke and not built for playoff hockey. When we lost against the Habs in the playoffs and he got rag dolled by I believe Edmundson and just sat there and smiled that was enough for me to see that this guy is not built for playoff hockey. Worst part is he's a big guy. Use your size, show some emotion, make a hit. McKinnon does it, McDavid does it but our guy can't and won't.

Not very captain like
 
This was an extremely disappointing game to watch (and that’s saying something). The effort and lack of discipline- whether or not the penalties were warranted, the big guys disappearing again…..yes I know it’s 2-2 but what the hell will we expect in Toronto? What did we expect in Game 4? Not this crap. A chance to take a stranglehold on the series…what the hell other motivation did they need? Throw out PP1 repeatedly (yes I know those guys should be the best option but open your eyes Berube!). PP goes cold again in the playoffs. Same thing every year.
 
Sober second thoughts

Woll easily had his best game and gave the Leafs a solid chance to win. Bodes well moving forward if he has his mojo back

The four penalties in the first period were mostly legitimate. I think you can debate the boarding call and the Knies hook but they are both technically penalties. The Panthers getting away with elbows to the head however should have broken up some of those calls and it's hard to get your game going when breathing gets you a penalty. It doesn't excuse the second period but I get why the first continued to be a disaster

Kulikov elbowing Marner and the Panthers opening the bench on Nylander are honestly worse plays than the Domi hit at the end of the game. I'm also not remotely surprised if Domi gets suspended because I think Parros is a biased petty man. Ekblad charged into a pile earlier in the series and took a guy out blindside at the end of a game and no one even said anything about it

The PP needs to adapt. The Panthers are too aggressive at pressuring the puck carrier and the Leafs continue to try and make slow decisions and the Panthers are eating that up
