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

[RorschachWJK]

Snow is melting, birds are migrating back to north....and the Leafs lose another 1st round. Everything in the world is as it should be *sips coffee while reading the world news and smiles*

Undefeated, won two games

If Samsonov won two games in 5 tries, the Leafs win this series.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Now do his stats this series compared to the 3 other goalies that played.

Matthews/Tavares/Nylander/Marner: 6 goals in 23 games (combined)
Nichushkin: 7 goals in 5 games

The Leafs were literally dead last in goals for per game in the playoffs, and middle of the pack for goal against. Cheery pick game all you want but the reality is the Leafs didn't score enough to win this series... especially when you consider how the salary is divided.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Leafs ownership only cares about profits.

Then they should probably run a projection on how much profit they would earn with a deep playoff run.

You know, just to see. Might be interesting!

 

[McGarnagle]

Nylander in peak defensive mode as usual. Those slumped shoulders lmao

Warning: Controller disconnected

 

[OilerTyler]

Gord knows where the blame lies

Why are you comparing a high scoring series to a low scoring one? The Jets set an NHL record for most consecutive 5 goals game to start a series.

Yes, most of us get math. Thanks for your contributions l.

 

[toddkaz]

I knew the Leaf’s would never win anything when they took Giordano on.

Bad hockey karma having that POS around.

Its Giordano's fault others didn't show up?

Man, I hope when something is my fault I have a Giordano around.

Why are you comparing a high scoring series to a low scoring one?

The whole reason its low scoring is because the laughs didn't show up.

That was marners man wasn’t it?

 

[Troublesome 85]

All that money and hype and nothing

At least the Miami Heat got a title

 

[JAK]

Samsonov made one bad play, too bad it was the last play of the series.

He gets paid $3.55m, paid like a 1B, plays like a 1B.

The rest of the team didn't play like they wanted to be there, only Knies seemed to know it was a playoff game 7

 

[CrownofThornton]

Not to make light of the “earned respect” comment, but the way Nylander carried himself in regards to his teammates, and his play has earned my respect.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Anyone else hammer the Bruins money line after the Leafs scored?

Absolutely obliterated the under in 3 different lays. Had Leafs +1.5 because I knew this garbage would be close

[KevinRedkey]

If Samsonov won two games in 5 tries, the Leafs win this series.

If the Leafs forwards score at or near their rugular season paces, they also win the series. Reality is they didn't, which surprises no one.

 

[Dirty Dog]

And Samsonov still was the only goalie to lose when they started facing elimination

Leafs elimination record without Austin Matthews = 2 - 0

Leafs elimination record with Austin Matthews = 0 - 1


Am I doing it right? This is literally the level of your logic and the depth of your posts.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Good knows where the blame lies

I thought this Muppet left 'X' forever? They always crawl back

 

[GirardSpinorama]

One Leafs goalie got swept vs Swayman. The other Leafs goalie went undefeated.

No. The leafs failed to outscore the bruins in all their games with samsonov despite having 40M for goal producing forwards.

 

[trilobyte]

I agree, but a lot of the “good” D might be on Boston.
With Pasta obviously injured and no real #1 or #2 C they are not exactly an offensive powerhouse.

Sure, but I mentioned it mostly for:
A. Leafs defence is at least changing, bringing in some players decent enough to give a chance to prove themselves.
B. to say that the Defence wasn't the problem, doesn't even matter that what you say about Bruins lack of punch is absolutely true. Leafs Cap imbalance in favour of 4 players was supposed to pay dividends.

Auston Matthews can't play goalie.

 

[AcerComputer]

Too bad you dont have a swayman cause all the money got used on four useless forwards.

His name is Joe Woll and he is better than Swayman. Unfortunately he was injured.

 

[Divine]

No. The leafs failed to outscore the bruins in all their games with samsonov despite having 40M for goal producing forwards.

And they managed to outscore the Bruins in all their games with Woll. Strange how that works.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Did you think the one goal he allowed in regulation was a bad goal?

Screened shot that went high blocker. Only goal he allowed in regulation, like you said.

Again, team in front of him gave him absolutely nothing.

Put prime Hasek in net and you're not gonna win many games with only one goal scored.

Nylander and Matthews both missed half the series
