It’s hard to believe this because historically with this group they have, in fact, gone down pretty easy. I’m going to the movies tonight instead of watching the game. Good luck to you all
I would prefer you not to go down at all
At least we’re getting some good quotes today.
[X] doubt
But please, by all means prove me wrong for 4 games. Don’t jerk me around for 3 and a half.
There was an article on The Athletic where they spoke about the last two teams to pull off the reverse sweep (Flyers and Kings).
From interviews, both teams seemed to have the mentality that it was their opposition that was under pressure. Their opponent is the one who has to get that final win to put them down.
I’m definitely reading too much into it, but this group doesn’t seem to have a similar mentality when they’re against the wall. They seem to downplay the pressure rather than deflect it somewhere else.
As soon as the going gets tough this squad packs it in. Panthers are tucking them in to bed and they like it
I believe in you Captain Morgan.
Shhh. Show us.
Can say whatever you want boys we will see at 7 what team shows up
I don’t expect Captain Mo to go do without a fight. The rest of the core haven’t really gained the benefit of the doubt.
It’s wild that today could be the last day of the Matthews/Marner/Nylander era.
“Not going to go down easy”? Shades of Jamie Benn. I don’t support that. Be a giver.
>We’re fighting
Except when The Lorax is allowed to give our rookie [The Khallas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R690-FKL_0Y) with absolutely no retribution
I love how they have this media mentality when their backs are against the wall yet when we get to the second round at home, we show zero urgency, response, or physicality. Die hard here but this roster isn’t built for playoff hockey, and with the money they are all making, you cannot change that.
I dunno a team sleepwalking to the second round only to face a possible sweep seems the opposite of *fighting*, but I’m happy to be proven wrong by you guys Mo, *for once*.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Regular season Morgan and playoff Morgan are night and day. Guy has clearly brought it this year. There are however several other question marks in the lineup
That doesn’t read how you probably hoped it would Morgan…
We’re not going down easy, so we’re going down hard….?
Narrator: “they did, in fact, go down easy”
Lmao. Can’t wait to see this quote age like milk tonight like they always do.
I actually had faith they’d win tonight until seeing this quote.
Here we go again
Actions > words
Game 3 shows that was a lie!
We’re here, we’re queer, we don’t want any more bears
Like I say a million times, actions speak louder than words.
Reilly leading the team in giveaways, but leading in heart!!! Stays!!!
Looking forward to marners final game in blue and white
That’s a much better message than Mitchy’s ‘fuck you media and fans.’
They’re gonna go down easy. 6-1 Florida tonight. We’ve been here before, folks.
