BLOT came real close in front, then gave up an EN goal to Sam Bennett
Down 2-0 going to Miami, feels done

Love to read HF Leafs complain about Matthews and Marner over the break between periods

40 total shots in 60+ minutes. The Leafs are playing Jacques Lemaire hockey

Obviously Toronto's playing well but this is so frustrating. I waited 8 years for a maybe sweep? Fuck.
I don't even think Ottawa's playing badly - they are playing "fine". It's not good enough, not playoff level... but it's "fine". Like a spiriting game in December fine. Nobody's awful, nobody's great.
A Simon Benoit fucking overtime clapper off the faceoff. 1 minute into OT? Really? REALLY!? That's the kind of goal that wins a game deep into 2OT, sure, but a minute into OT 1?

Stutzle's been looking dangerous but it never turns into anything (I think they really need to find someone to compliment him in the offseason... somehow). Tkachuk's been good (especially given that he's clearly injured). I think Ridley Grieg's been their best player? But even that line's doing absolutely nothing.

Whatever else I'm subjected to tonight, just please don't have "the arena is way too full with Leafs fans" be one of them.
Can I change my request to a win? (It was like 85%+ SNES fans which would be awesome except...)

I am conditioned to believe this will be some dumbass thing a SNES player or team person did. Can't wait to find out!

yeah just brutal, my condolences, kind of.
moving on, one thing I missed through 8 SNESless playoff years is watching their home fans sprint to the exits after an OT goal for or against. can't be stuck in that parking lot.
