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

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Auston Matthews can't play goalie.

He can’t score goals outside of 1 game either lol

 

[soothsayer]

Well, that's the way the popcorn pops.

 

[Divine]

He can’t score goals outside of 1 game either lol

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

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Under samsonov, the leafs only scored more than 1 goal... Once. Ya, totally the fault of the 3.5M goalie to not score goals.

[toddkaz]

Don’t even know who you are talking about. So obviously it’s incomparable.

You said Toronto lost because Gordiano is a bad human. Its absurd.

 

[Donnie740]

I guess we'll never know why the Leafs ended up drafting Scott over Swayman right?

Kyle Dumbass.

 

[Divine]

The Leafs hate runs strong

And here come the excuses…

I said partly.

 

[pigpen65]

Of all of the chokers on Toronto who is the biggest? I think Matthews. .84 goals per game in the regular season to .2 in the playoffs is something else.

 

[TheNumber4]

Mike Babcock finally gets his revenge for being sewered by the Toronto market.

 

[JAK]

And here come the excuses…

Leafs fans have had plenty of practice over the years

 

[JoeGarelli]

where can we watch maple leafs post game interviews?

 

[toddkaz]

I said partly.

What part?

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

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.

 

[Divine]

 

[Dirty Dog]

He scored 69 goals.

And when the pressure was on to score 70…and he was obviously pressing but couldn’t do it….you knew it was playoff time for AM34. He just doesn’t produce when he is needed most

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Leafs Regular season Goals per game

1. Colorado 3.68
2. Toronto 3.63

Leafs Playoffs Goals per game

1. Colorado 5.60
15. Washington 1.75
16. Toronto 1.71

Any questions?

Sure,

If you're doing stats, what about Florida?

What's with the American superiority complex?

 

[Thirty Seven]

Colorado is listed for obvious reasons.

And the fact Toronto’s offense dries up Ian it a random stat. It’s the reason they lost

They were one goal away from winning the series and Swayman made some really nice saves.

I just fail to see what Colorado has to do with this series lol. Congrats to them with all those goals then?

 

[TheNumber4]

What part?

About 3%

Someone was listing a stat and included the first ranked team in that stat.

 

[Bruce Granville]

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.

I just checked their roster.
Their D is decent, they need 3 good D and a goalie.
They have 18m in cap space. That is enough.
Marner and Tavares are buyout proof…so either they break their legs or injure their spleens (life hack from the Pacific Division) and put them on LTIR and gain some cap space or they are stuck with the current team minus Domi and Bertuzzi.
Tavares has no value at all in a trade.

So it has to be Marner. Any defenseman would help. And a trading partner who believes Marner could help them when he is away from the spotlight in Toronto. Good luck with that.
If Marner wants to stay, though…

Erik Karlsson for Marner straight up. Dubas signs him to 8x12.5

What's with the American superiority complex?

I don't have that, but when many American based teams have won and are full of Canadians, it's dumb. Even players aside, it's a tired narrative a Canadian team "needs" to win and you have Flames fans rooting for the Oilers just because they're based in Canada.
