Matthews - 3 points, $11.6 Million
Marner - 2 points, $10.9 Million,
Tavares - 1 point, $11 Million
Nylander - 0 points $11.5 Million

Marchand - 8 points, $6.125 Million

That's a lot of scratch to four players who are being outplayed, outscored (combined), and out-hearted by a 36 year old making nearly half.

It's all about heart. The Leafs just don't have it.

Also, outscoring each of the "core 4"....
Debrusk (5 points)
Pastrnak (4 points)
McAvoy (4 points)

Their core of 4 are all overpaid losers really. Including AM34. It's what it is, TML is stuck with that choice.

The last 3 years the teams have been similar

Last year the Leafs lost to Florida in the second round, this year Boston might.



Yeah 6 years ago they were a better team than today. Completely different core too - Bergeron, Krejci, Krug, Chara, Rask/Halak.

So... your take here is that it's not really that bad in the 7 year frame because the Toronto young core wasn't ready to beat Peak Boston.

But now, over the last three years or so the Prime Leafs have only really done as much as aging Boston that has lost half of said core and are once again losing to them head-to-head. How is this a positive for you?

I'm comparing both current cores. People are saying the current Boston core with Ullmark/Swayman have had more success than the Leafs core. They have not.

They are very close to having more success.


But you should probably pick finer hairs to split, i dont think your current argument is fine enough. You could do better.

Stop reaching so hard for a coping mechanism and take the L.

How are they right now? Because they're up in a series where the Leafs are getting .883 goaltending?

Sure - but the series isn't over.

Regardless, what "success" have the Leafs had that is better than the Bruins?

What are you measuring for success? More regular season success? It can't be playoffs because Boston hasn't won a cup since '11. And the Leafs.....well, we all know that year.

Neither had much success.

Both teams made it to the second round once since Boston went to Swayman/Ullmark and the Leafs went to Samsonov/Woll/Murray. I agree that Boston has the much better goaltending.

Goaltender's a member of the team, isn't he? What are you even talking about? Now we're looking at the next goaltender (not that he's a good one) in a long list of fall guys so that the Leafs can make excuses for a plainly broken roster?

They're "doing it" right now because by your 3 year window if they're really deadlocked, the advantage obviously goes to the team up 3-1 in the current series. The reason you don't want to use a 7-8 year window is due to the relative ages of the cores.

If that's how this goes, the fact that Boston has lost core players and are much older than the prime Leafs works even harder against the Leafs.
