still trying to trust the yzerplan
Imagine a team with
Mackinnon, Pettersson, Panarin, and McDavid scoring 12 goals in 7 games. That is how the leafs top 4 are paid. Blaming anybody but those 4 guys is ludicrous

Marner rielly and nylander were both just standing around on the last goal, but samsonov gets the blame…. When 1 of the best goal scorers in the league gets a 1 on 1 vs you lol

The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
I say Marner is done in Toronto.
Can't say I blame him.
Matthews can turn to his own net and blast it in and somehow it'd be Marners fault.
He'd quietly enjoy a divorce.
Tampa should be embarrassed. In 20 years no one is going to remember them winning back to back cups or Kucherov being a multi-time Art Ross winner, just the only losers to lose to Toronto in the salary cap era.

I wouldn't say that it's 100% that Marner is done in Toronto. They have to first convince him to waive his NMC and from the sounds of it, in the past he wants to stay in Toronto. But if he was a good person, he would waive it for the sake of the team and himself to move on to a new path in his career.
We'll take him
He called Matthews out for whining then scored some huge goals for them. Shows good leadership

Samsonov played well IMO.
Imo the team took a step back from previous years when they lost to top contending teams. And the standings reflected that.
Comments by the core that ‘they were right there’ miss the point. They aren’t anywhere close to the top contenders and are getting further away from that group. If the goal is to win the Cup, they are going in the wrong direction.

It was JVRs birthday...He got an assist.

Last year it was Gudas, this year it was Pasta. Toronto needs more Czech players!
The fact of the matter is that the guys Toronto have put all their money into are not guys who have what it takes to win in the playoffs. This core have been together for mostly 8 years now. What we see is what they are. No amount of excuses can change that.
They may be good hockey players who can put up a better than .500 record during the regular season. But come playoff time most of the key players buckle under the pressure. None of them have what it takes. They aren't willing to lay it all on the line for a win. They won't go into the dirty areas for those greasy goals and they shy away from those gritty battles. They are nothing more than fragile diva's with huge egos.
On Marner, I can't believe that guy get's close to $11M. He sure bent Toronto over the barrel on that contract. He is the very definitions of a creampuff. He could have had that open net when the BOS goalie gifted him the puck behind the net but instead of taking it and heading to the front of the net he decided to swing around all because he wasn't willing to take the hit that would have been waiting for him after scoring. They even talked about it during intermission how he likely had a goal if he was willing to take the hit. He wasn't. Marner was probably the biggest joke the entire series. An $11M winger who looked scared and intimidated every game.
It's funny that Tavares is taking so much flak because he was the only high earner I saw throwing himself into every battle. The rest of the top earners looked like boys playing against men. Toronto will likely continue to have regular season success with this core but come playoff time the same results will occur. Most of the top players don't have what it takes to withstand a playoff run.

Toronto stars lack of emotion and heart, really make you appreciate guys like Mcdavid and eichel
I was at the game, and it could have gone either way.
Thanks Sway and Pasta
Leafs will get there soon.

This has to be the end for Sheldon Keefe's Leafs coaching career.
Maybe...Maybe not
The Bs have played well against the Panthers this season. I never expected the Bs to get this far so it is all good.

He did great. Not his fault on the last goal that Marner was lost and an elite player was able to pull off a great move and lift the puck just enough to get the goal. He and the D did their job in limiting Boston in regulation. Also, Swayman simply was the best player in the series. Best Boston goalie performance statistically in a series since Thomas. That's massive.

It’s a solid match up, and Boston should have revenge on their mind…. Shouldn’t be a struggle to get up for Florida
Yeah I think they need a scapegoat or two for the team not being able to score in big games and he and Samsonov seem like the two most likely candidates.

To be fair, nylander really did show up this series, the others either had a headache, were crying, or too old and slow to help out at all
You’re absolutely right. He didn’t. I stand corrected.
Posts like this are what happens when you get up too early and post without enough sleep. Bertuzzi did NOT piss away a 3-1 series lead. He WAS on the losing end of both First Round Game 7s at the Garden between this year and last.
