ECQR: (8) Toronto Maple Leafs vs. (9) Columbus Blue Jackets | Blue Jackets win series 3-2

[TheRick]

Leafs are not a Playoff team!

This makes me happy. The stat line for one on one battles won or lost had to be tipped large in the Blue Jackets favour. Leafs despise one on one battles.

HA!!! 40 million smackers on 4 fleas, that buzz around looking for fallen fruit. Not vs Torts' Jackets, you bums!

 

How'bout that Seth Jones! Man that kid gives me a late 70's Larry Robinson vibe! Dominant & bloody solid.

What's Torts feeding his team? Last year, it was Tampa and now they rolling again

To be fair, he gets to go against a soft team with an AHL quality defense this year.

They mightn't even be a playoff team in the AHL.  That defensive play is absolutely atrocious.

It is. It's not just the D. The forwards lack the basics, the things we coach kids like back checking back through the middle, try to battle on the d side of your man in your zone, get a piece of the opponent, get in there way in your own zone. Just brutal.

The forwards are just lazy, but their defensemen lack the brain capacity to even figure out who their man is.  I've seen ECHL players with more hockey sense than Rielly and Muzzin.

[Toyotasfan]

Such a soft team 

[Rush17]

Soft skill vs grit and skill

even if the Leaves manage to win this series, Torts has written the book on how to beat this team. If CBJ still had Panarin this would be a sweep.

Someone needs to hack the NHL feed and throw a virtual TO jersey on the ice.
