The only real solution is time. Time to grow up.

This team is just immature. They can't handle adversity.

It's not Hainsey's fault. It's not Zaitsev's fault. As an entire group, they are fragile.

[StCapps]

The problem is that they are mentally fragile.

If things go wrong, they don't rally, they go into a shell like deer in the headlights.

Deer in headlights indeed, team pylon.

They're only in this predicament because they choked at home.

Boston didn't even play well, the Leafs could have easily won.

They simply are what we thought they were.

The same bad habits they have in the regular season, have not gone away in the playoffs.

They just fold when things go wrong, because the core of this team are still kids.

Dennis Green Knows.

Dennis Green Knows.

There's still plenty of time,

Plenty of time for Matthews, Marner and Nylander to take this game over.

But I'm not expecting it, they just don't have the killer instinct.

You don't win until you get sick of losing.

These Leaf kids have just not suffered enough yet, its only by suffering that you learn,

[Smitty-48]

I mean, look at Tampa.

They did everything right.

And yet they are suffering.

Matthews, Marner and Nylander just don't get it.

If you don't save yourselves when you have a team down on the mat, the Hockey Gods will not save you.

They had their chance, they didn't take it, now they are tasting the bitter fruit.

The Leafs aren't Khabib, letting teams of the mat, is bad juju if you aren't Khabib.

[StCapps]

Nice play by Ennis, shitty goaltending by Rask. Only Tuuka Toskala can save the Leafs now.

There's still time. Tavares just scored. Maybe Tavares will step up.

So far he's been a bust.

This Tavares - Marner line has looked out of gas.

They've carried the team all year, they haven't showed up lately, they need to show up now.

We'll see if they do it, see if it sparks anything.

Still feels like too little too late tho.

[Smitty-48]

Tavares and Marner have looked like Stamkos and Kucherov against Columbus.

Going cold at just the wrong time.
