Conference finals 4 times and it was times over a 10 year span. I only know this because I was 13-23 years old - peak of fandom and there were 2 iterations of tough playoff built teams. I fully agree though, still not nearly good enough.

Matthews left with an illness?
Is sick and tired of losing an illness?

Possibly, but the 69 goals gave him the Rocket Richard trophy.
Probably not. Not a physical one anyway.
He wanted an excuse for not showing up in the playoffs again.
Closer to top 5 than top 10 regardless.
Shutting down Pastrnak has been the entire Toronto game plan along with focusing on physicality. Impressive the depth has produced!

Overall playoffs Marchand became the Bruins all time goal scoring leader last night.
Not too shabby considering the entire history of great players the Bruins have had in 100 years.

Really beginning to empathize with Leafs fans about this. I can absolutely understand how it would be such a gut punch to go through this every year with this core. Has to be so painful.

Agree. Seems to me the team from 8-10 years ago was more cohesive and played as a singular unit more than the current iteration which is an awkward mishmash of several highly played individuals. And I feel the team was better coached then. I would actually take that team over the current one
He was bad on goal 2, but that one-timer would be a high-danger chance and difficult to save even for a goalie who had moved properly, and JVR could freely screen.
On goal 3, it's a 2-on-0 with Bruins' two best offensive players, and his attempt was pretty good, I thought.
On goal 1, he wasn't great, but JVR is a specialist in tight like that, and had all the time in the world right in front of the net.
I'd say that blaming the goalie is not accurate. From watching most of the game, I'd say that the biggest issue is that the Leafs skaters were lacking a pulse. Compare the two captains, for example. Is Tavares a wax statue? You might not like Marchand but at least he has agency.

How is the threat of elimination considered no pressure. Its the definition of pressure.

It’s not much better with Biz, PK and Chicken Parm on ESPN and TNT. None of those three should be anywhere near an US broadcast. Biz acts like a smitten 13 yr old fan boy watching his favorite team play for the 1st time. They need to go to SN or CBC instead of a US network. Want to grow the game in the US, stop with the unprofessional biased nitwit goof balls on a US broadcast.
