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

[Ciao]

It's honestly sad how pathetic this team and organization are.

Never felt this low as a leaf fan. Bring me back to the Kessel days. What an unlike able group of greedy, pathetic players.

Its insane if Marner is back and they don't try a major change.

I guess you didn't live through the Harold Ballard era. I did.

The day John Brophy got Gord Stellick to trade Russ Courtnall for John Kordic was worse. Much worse.

Still this is bad. Very bad. Take out the dynamite and blow the place up bad. This can't go on bad.

Mrazrek, Bunting Kerfoot and Malgin were going to the Cup for sure.

Lets just ignore the 40 million or whatever dollar ROSTER absentees. Some of these comments by others are Dubas level golden nuggets

Pin it on the guys that kept Boston somewhat honest. Makes perfect sense haha my god.

Friedman called people like you an idiot during the first intermission... effort is not the issue, execution is.

I disagree. It's a combination of both which makes it worse.

 

[TMLegend]

Man, this team is in a really bad spot.

Matthews - NMC
Nylander - NMC
Marner - NMC
Tavares - NMC
Rielly - NMC

A core that can't get it done and a team that has bled assets and draft capital like crazy the last few seasons. Seems like a dark era of Leaf hockey may be upon us.

Excuses aplenty for half the salary cap of the team

@leafs in five would like you to believe we should have spent a 1st round pick on a potentially injured player to maybe get a boost out of the first round.

Like maybe on a hurt veteran winger...

And it would help us enter the second round in real good shape.

Friedman is a stupid lurch. What does that goofy slob know about hockey. Bieska looked to be suggesting they weren't upping the level.

I did not see a playoff gear from the Leafs at all. WN was trying to gear up. aM was sick. The rest were pathetic.

I actually enjoyed watching Kordic smash guys night in and night out. The guy was also huuuuuuuuujah.

Fortunately didnt have to witness that. But it just goes to show you how pathetic this franchise is with so many extreme low points.

 

[francis246]

well the leafs last finals appearance was 1967.. 32 years difference

leafs have how many first round exits since 1999... more than 5 that's for sure

how many season without the playoffs... definitely not 16 but it's close...

1 first round win in 2 decades, no conference finals appearance


lol the Knicks are not as bad as the Leafs these last 20 years respectively.


The Leafs officially own the worst f*ing playoff record in all of professional sports in the last 20 years, it has to be... can you believe it, this franchise is an utter embarssement

Since 1999

The leafs have missed the playoffs 10 times
Have 6 first round wins, 1 conference finals appearance, 2 second round wins, 7 first round exits.

So no the knicks have been way worse than the leafs since 1999. Want me to do the Dallas Cowboys, Sacramento Kings for you?

Leafs have had some disappointments but other franchises are way worse.

Other guys with NMC’s have been moved. They will work with the agent to facilitate a trade for Marner. Probably a sign and trade

This level always comes down from the top. Only incompetent managers/officers in a company can own this level of stupidity. They are paid react fast and make money though, not win. So unique to Toronto losing can be winning in the money game.

I boycotted Bell and Rogers over this stupidity years ago. The TV deal at 5b was hilarious. Now that dummy who made that call runs the team.

Can you imagine?

View attachment 861023

Sure, but Kordic's two seasons and ten goals for the Leafs was a piss-poor exchange for an all-star forward.

Leafs were only good during the Stavro ownership. As soon as Corporate interests got involved it became mostly about marketability. TPP were just dumb all around and let the dummy Larry T run the Leafs. LarryT is the guy Ballard never wanted to have own the Leafs.

 

[Peasy]

The Toronto Maple Leafs have won 20 playoff series since their last cup win. To put that number into perspective:

Tampa has won 20 since 2011, Pittsburgh since 2008, Chicago since 1995, Boston since 1992.

Sad, pathetic, franchise.

 

[Brown Dog]

Leafs played like they thought it was a Game 7.

 

[aingefan]

They'll win game 5. They'll put it all out there and Keefe won't galaxy brain shit to mess up.

@Evilhomer predicted everything wrong lol

Tonight will be a win - No
Pastrnak wont do anything - No
Offence will explode - No

Man had too much blind faith

Maybe he should have pulled a Costanza.

 

[AvroArrow]

This team is impossible to like. Lots needs to change and I hope that's what Tre's intention was this year, evaluate what he has so we can adjust.

Keefe needs to go, Tavares needs to be stripped of the C immediately and informed that he will not be re-signed so if he wants to waive, same with Marner

Rebuild around Matthews, Nylander, re-sign Domi/Bert

 

[Macman]

Fire everyone and begin fixing the salary imbalance that Dubas created. It’s over.

 

[francis246]

Honestly I think the move is to fire everyone after 2024/25. Jon Cooper is a free agent coach after 2024/25. Tavares and Marner expire in 2025.

 

[Peasy]

I woke up feeling down but after watching this I feel good again!:

Imagine your own mayor not even being able to get your team name right...

The Leaves.

 

[BallardEra]

Insane that this team is 4-12 under Keefe in the playoffs at home and now with 6 straight home losses.

 

[Dayjobdave]

I’m pretty resigned to the fact this team was in flux this year and not really going anywhere, and with a sick/injured Auston they’re probably toast.

0-6 at home has to mean a new coach, doesn’t it?

it was just responding to FKA winter soldier saying that Boston played smarter/more opportunistic. they cashed on a mistake from Reaves and on a PP off a dumb penalty by Domi, 2nd time in the series, game 3 it was Bert. "keeping them honest" - agree to disagree there.

not saying we'd win the cup with Malgin + the core 4 but whatever Bomber is working things out, as are we all.

 

[cvaicunas]

Gloating in the other team’s thread is a loser behaviour .

Let em gloat, everyone except for the city of Boston knows what happens next round for them

 

[rumman]

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.
