I'm blaming Babcock, not them.
That's fine, but I'm blaming Tavares and Matthews right now, $22 million in cap hit doing exactly jack shit.
Plenty of blame to go around.

That's what I'm saying. It's not the defense, it's a collective mental block.

They are a young team overthinking it and squeezing their sticks in a big game in front of the home crowd.

Classic choke.

I don't disagree, Babcock is overthinking it along with the rest of the team. Classic choke indeed.

It's out of Babcock's hands right now.

They are a step behind all over the place, because they are thinking rather than instinctive.

I don't know what a coach can do, you kinda have to play your way out of it.

The goalie has to hold the line until you get your mojo going, so far Freddie has been Toskala.

If Freddie keeps coughing up softies it doesn't matter what they do.

So it's pretty much in his hands right now.

He can't keep letting goals in, period end of story.

I've already checked out on this game.

I figured this would go to seven anyways.

The Loafs have actually played better in Boston this time, they've choked at home under the pressure.

This Loafs team is like the Caps were.

Loaded up with talent, but it took years for them to stop choking.

The Caps basically had to grow up. Took 13 years.

This Leafs team is like dat.
