Post-Series Talk: Boston Bruins Defeat Toronto Maple Leafs (win 4-3)

[Sidgeni Malkby]

I feel bad for the Leafs.

Samsonov played well, but I wonder if Woll would have stopped that 1st goal, or the OT goal.

So what's next?
New coach.
Trade Tavares and/or Marner.

Amazing stat considering all the cap allocation to the forward core. No goalie in history can help you there.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Woll got injured at the absolute worst possible time for the Leafs.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

You dont see boston fans blaming Swayman for losing games 5-6.

 

[toddkaz]

Sure,

If you're doing stats, what about Florida?

Florida in the playoffs was 3rd with 4.00 Goals for and regular season was 11th with 3.23

So you see, Toronto didn't show up.

Did he have a GAA over 3 or a save percentage under .900 in any game this series? That was Samsonov's series stats.

I like Treliving’s changes but how many times can we be in this infinite loop? The D was meaner and tighter but the root of all their problems still screwed them again - the guys paid to be difference makers did nothing (except Nylander).

I trust Treliving’s vision a lot more than Dubas but it’s clear to me at least that resigning Marner will be a disaster and continue this loop some more. Marner and Keefe gotta go and if Tavares won’t take a sweetheart deal on his next one, let him go too. Why does he even have a C again?

 

[Freudian]

Hard to get the team motivated after having a guy almost hit 70 goals.

 

[KevinRedkey]

He scored 69 goals.

70 if you include the playoffs.

 

[Leafshater67]

He only played 2 games healthy and had 3 points. Never practiced or skated again after Game 2.

Who cares, he’s done nothing in literally any other year either. Same problem, different year. A lot worse players than him overcame adversity and did something.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Woll got injured at the absolute worst possible time for the Leafs.

Yeah, it sucks they had to play a goalie who gave up…one goal on regulation.


How about it was the absolute worst possible time for the leafs for their offense to not produce.

 

[Avs44]

Yeah, who asked?

Did I miss something were Toronto fans were saying they would beat Colorado? or is this just a random stat to make fun of them.

Well, I’ve no idea what that poster’s intentions were, but given the fans I’ve seen blaming the Leafs’ goaltending for this series…it’s a pretty funny set of stats that highlight that yes, an actual elite core of forwards can outscore bad goaltending. FFS, Georgiev allowed 7 goals in game 1 in a match where the Avs scored 6. And the the Avs just popped off the rest of the series and lit up Helley. I read those stats as a sign that the Leafs’ skaters are the problem — not their goalies.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

That's more the Bruins lack of fortitude than actual goaltending performance. Go ahead and start Woll next season and see what happens.

Also why wasn't Woll starting tonight?

 

[toddkaz]

Did he have a GAA over 3 or a save percentage under .900 in any game this series? That was Samsonov's series stats.

Toronto average 1.71 Goals per game in the playoffs. Whats the point of paying Marner, Nylander, Tavares and Matthews if they can't score?

 

[Divine]

It wasn't just Woll. Leafs lost Nylander and Matthews this serious too, for multiple games.

 

[TheNumber4]

Honestly I’m surprised Marner no-showed like this. The Toronto market barely put scrambles in his brain this year.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I said Boston in 7, I knew this team wasn’t beating Boston even before the series started

Sucks being a leafs fan

 

[Divine]

That's more the Bruins lack of fortitude than actual goaltending performance. Go ahead and start Woll next season and see what happens.

He may have pulled something. Said he woke up with tightness and the team didn't want to risk it.

My intentions were to compare the difference between a team showing up and not showing up.

Toronto was the 2nd highest scoring offense in the regular season and last in the playoffs.

But sure, people can blame goaltending.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

I'm just glad one less Canadian team in it. Vancouver and Edmonton guarantees one less, and hoping who ever wins that gets knocked out.

So over the Canadian team narrative every f'ing year.

Go Sens Go! The first to break the curse! f*** the rest

 

[HanSolo]

I'm sorry, I have no hate for Toronto, but there was something so appealing about seeing another in a long list of Game 7 losses.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

That's more convenient than with Mathews 1-4, W/O Matthews Leafs were 2-0
If one just wants to quote the stats.

Will say it again, Samsonov was not the eason why The Leafs lost tonight, he allowed 1 goal in 60 mins regulation. No one compared him to be Patrick Roy, When you are a high regular season scoring team that can muster 1 goal in regulation, perhaps you should be looking for blame elsewhere.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I like Treliving’s changes but how many times can we be in this infinite loop? The D was meaner and tighter but the root of all their problems still screwed them again - the guys paid to be difference makers did nothing (except Nylander).

It’s weird with Keefe. There’s no way you keep losing these big games early in the playoffs and stay, but at the same time he seems to get the Leafs playing way better defence than they have the right to be.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Did he have a GAA over 3 or a save percentage under .900 on the series?

With Samsonov in net, the leafs scored 5 goals in net total lol. Good luck getting a goalie to win with that goal support.

 

[The Expert]

70 if you include the playoffs.

0.85 GPG in the regular season, 0.2 GPG in the playoffs. 13.25 million well spent.
