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

[Strangle]

That was … bad

Why the f*** would Keefe mess up the 4th line? That was the only actual thing that was working for this team

 

[fahad203]

Honestly would rather be out in a blowout in game 5. At least we can make changes. If we force game 7 the higher ups will try and run it back.

Marchand said done in 5
He'll make sure it's done in 5

 

[pcruz]

He got a stern talking to by Nylander

Maybe Nylander could have been more vocal on the box score.


3 shots and 2 hits in almost 23 minutes of play.


He has more than enough to worry about before he starts doling out advice to his peers.

It's gonna take a lot more than that to keep the coaches and a lot of players here.

Wait, what. We need to convince these players and coaches to stay in Toronto?

 

[LaPlante94]

That game didn't inspire us as fans at all that we have a chance to come back in this series. Should we just start looking forward to next season and all the changes since this experiment seems to be overplayed now.

 

[Racer88]

What happened to matthews?

We think he pooped his pants

 

[mcleex]

Really wish Domi didn't do that hail mary aerial pass in game 2. Boston probably would have ended up winning that game and the series would be over now 4-0
We've now extended the misery till Tuesday. We have to stew for 3 more days

 

[PromisedLand]

100% this. This signing was the biggest blunder in this iteration of the Leafs, and it was done immediately as soon as Shanahan handed a rookie idiot the GM title.

Shanahan needs to be fired.

Call me a superstitious but I think Tavares effing over the NYI carried some bad omens too

 

[pcruz]

He may as well have missed them.

Do you start game day threads, by chance?

 

[Cleetus]

LMAO!

 

[wingman75]

I hooe Woll starts the next game. I had enough of Sammy

Might as well at this point. Can't blame the goaltending when the team scores 1 3, 2, 1 and the special teams are being so outclassed.

But, Woll will be here next year, is young and needs the experience. I go with him here on out.

[Revolt]

Evidently, scoring more than 2 goals is a lot to ask for the most expensive forward group in the league.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Anybody hear Shekels Friedman rubbing his hands together predicting the demise of the core 4? I hate that cockroach.

Aren't we all hoping for the demise of the core 4?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

You knew this f***ing loser ass team was done when they couldn’t even generate a decent chance on that 4-on-3.

Just HATE everything about this group. Mitch whining and playing like a giant puss and Matthews quitting mid game disgust me

Series is over man, no matter who they start. Boston is going to f***ing bury them on Tuesday. Calling it right now, Swayman shuts them out.

I really, really, don't think this team can force a game 6 let alone 7. They will almost certainly bow out in game 5 to ensure Marchand teabags them until the day they die. You probably couldn't assemble a sadder group of players to A) make the playoffs and B) be this disgusting every year. Every other combination results in missing the playoffs or actually winning something.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

If Woll starts the next three games, Leafs win the series.

I won't bet on it, but will necro this post if it comes to fruition

 

[PromisedLand]

First thing Dubas did.

and then gave out ridiculous short-term AAVs to matthews and marner. Leafs have not been able to afford to ice a balanced roster since then due to cap situation.

 

[93gilmour93]

[GQS]

My question as well. Disappointing outcome, but hard to win when Matthews is only playing 14 minutes.

Would it make that much a difference? Outside of that one great breakaway goal he's be almost completely shutdown and neutralized by the Bruins. All the talk about Nylander being a difference maker in his first game back and giving the Leafs offense a boost, I didn't buy into it. Better to have him back than not, but didn't expect him to be any kind of miracle worker.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

These guys packed their bags for golf trip already

I bet they put training wheels on their f***ing golf carts

 

[Rare Jewel]

Matthews a bitch
Nylander a bitch
Marner a bitch
Reilly sucks
Samsonov is a f***ing pos
e.
Worst organization in sports

f*** the leafs

Yeah, but the Sushi is nice.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

They've scored 2 goals or fewer in 10 of the last 11 playoff games. Just no way around it, they need to find a way to score goals when it matters
