Post-Game Talk: Could've been worse. Leafs go down 3-1 in the game and the series.

[The Masters]

These guys packed their bags for golf trip already

 

[LastOne2100]

First step is one rung higher on the org chart

There's many agreeable first steps.

 

[Lightsol]

Matthews should have missed the last 2 games due to illness.

Yeah, apparently the key to avoiding criticism right now is to be too injured to play when they need you...

 

[leafsfan5]

The most frustrating part of it all is that they'll re-sign Marner this summer and do the same shit again next year

I'm so tired of this hockey team

 

[BertCorbeau]

Amazing that they cannot adjust special teams

Outclassed in every way.

Boston plays a shutdown game with a lot of poise

 

[mix1home]

Stick the girl in them. They are done.

 

[Leafs87]

Leafs don’t have the mental toughness to go 3-0

 

[horner]

It's time for a change

 

[Eternal Leaf]

We have hit a new low.

The worst playoff performance they've managed to put together. Weak, no strategy, and terrible goaltending. The negatives are endless and this core is rotten like an apple that's been left out too long.

 

[socko]

The worst thing that ever happened was Leafs signing Tavares

Dubas by far did the most damage. He had a flawed team and made it spoiled and more flawed. He had the talent and trade pieces to build a winner. But he was horrible at his job. Of course, he had an enabler - Shanahan.

 

[KaN19]

Turned the TV off at 0-2. Looks like I didn't miss much. What a joke of a team. Worst part is management will likely just can Keefe and run it back again.

 

[Dragao6]

Man
These games don’t even feel like playoff games!!!
And we still suck hahahah

 

[NVious]

100% this. This signing was the biggest blunder in this iteration of the Leafs, and it was done immediately as soon as Shanahan handed a rookie idiot the GM title.

Shanahan needs to be fired.

Letting Kadri/Hyman go as well and then the brutal contracts to the rest of the fraud four.

 

[Stephen]

Matthews should have missed the last 2 games due to illness.

He may as well have missed them.

 

[Racer88]

Prior to the playoffs, a lot of us said the Leafs match up better against Boston.

We never learn. When it comes to playoffs, we don't match up well with anyone. Not even a junior team.

Prior to the playoffs people were still calling the leafs contenders. lol

 

[HolyCrap]

At least most of us aren’t so out of touch with reality like this beauty quote from Evilhomer today.

“They will go back to Ullmark in game 5 because Toronto will win this game. They were always going to win this game no matter who Boston started. It's the nature of the series. Personally, I would have saved Swayman for game 5 if I was Boston. Maybe they will start him in game 5 even after losing tonight, but if they do that then they can't realistically go back to Ullmark the rest of this series.”

Hahahahahaha.

 

[Jojalu]

Sadly I am more interested in finding out who Nylander was yelling at.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

> Get a PP
> Enter Zone
> Pass to Tavares on the half-wall
> Lose possession

Mfw they do the exact same thing 6 on 5

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

So much money upfront and they can't even muster 2 goals consistently. Good forbid they score three. I'm done with these players. They can all go for all I care.

 

[SprDaVE]

Matthews, Nylander, Domi, Bertuzzi and Rielly. Those are the only people in this entire organization I’d be okay with coming back next year.

Bertuzzi? Why? The guy was a ghost for half the season and putrid in the playoffs.

 

[egd27]

Matthews should have missed the last 2 games due to illness.

One could argue he did

 

[All Mod Cons]

The offense from the blue line is non existent.

The offense from the offense is non existent. Going back years.

 

[Maplebeasts]

It's gonna take a lot more than that to keep the coaches and a lot of players here.

Oh for sure. Every year you don't win the cup is a failure. For this team to STILL struggle to get out of round 1 on a consistent basis is nothing short of embarrassing. Would like to see what this team could look like with the 26+ mil of cap with Brodie, Tavares and Marner gone.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Signing Marleau was worse. A complete f***ing loser.

Taught the core everything they know

 

[1specter]

This team finds new lows every year to hurt and embarrass the fanbase. Bruins squad is a far cry from what it was in 2019 yet we might not even get to 6 games this time around with a much better squad. Matthews shitting his pants and leaving the game is basically a microcosm of this team's problems. 5 years later and we're somehow much worse.

They don't even have Bergeron or Chara anymore, Marchand by himself is daddy dicking us.

Ready to move on this summer and hopefully see some much needed changes. The fans deserve better.

Also Joe Bowen I don't ever wanna f***ing hear about the fans again when the team gives them that performance
