Post-Game Talk: Hit em with the 4 like AM34. Leafs lose 4th straight game 7 to Boston: 2-1

[Gallagbi]

What would Reavo have done there?

Went for a change

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Actually all they had to do was not offer Samsonov and get a real goalie. They win this series.

Blows my mind you Gus are blaming goaltending when the second highest scoring team in the league score 12 in 7 … your not winning when your top guys can’t score

 

[ToneDog]

It was a set play, if you notified Pasternak wheeled to get up to full speed and the defenceman aimed the puck to rebound out front. Home ice knowledge.

Said it before the season ended. I want game #7 in our barn, but they decided getting Matty 70 was more important.

 

[Enniskillen]

Mitch the b.tch was his usual in game 7. Totally invisible. No Keefe, no marner, and this team could have won.

 

[Evilhomer]

What would Reavo have done there?

Water some flowers?

 

[rumman]

I hope Carolina is eliminated quickly.

Very quickly.


Get the entire Carolina staff here.

Pay all these people and send them off.


Coaches, trainers, video, etc...

Rod’s one of, if not the best coach in the NHL, I highly doubt the Cane’s a stupid enough not to meet his price……..

We are pretty good on home ice...

 

[rumman]

We should have been chasing a President/GM asset combo a la Doug Armstrong / George McPhee a long time ago.

We've been absolutely short-changed here in Toronto with sub-standard quality of management.

Lou was perhaps the best asset we had who actually saw a good culture shift from losing to winning and we handed it over to a wannabe-MBA type with no experience in hockey.

When they let Lou go it was the beginning of the end, FULL STOP……….

Absolutely pathetic play on the game winning goal. He let Pastrnak breeze by him like a sports car racing a scooter. Total lack of heart and intensity for f**ks sake.

 

[Enniskillen]

Rielly really disappointed, no passion, just stupid plays.

 

[Evilhomer]

Said it before the season ended. I want game #7 in our barn, but they decided getting Matty 70 was more important.

All season I blathered on about how important it was for the Leafs to win the division. Maybe next season.

 

[Darch]

Is Keefe actually going to be fired though?

I think Keefe is fine. He just needs help setting up D-zone play. They never adapted during the series, and the Bruins kept pinching in onto their wingers who were always too high, when they actually were present! Ringing the puck along the boards is good for peewee.

 

[Strangle]

The first thing Shanahan and MLSE need to do is call Gary to unleash Quennville

 

[rumman]

Yeah I don't mind that at all. Just depends on his price and I actually assumed he'd prefer to be in the US for some reason.

Going out on a limb here and predict he resigns in Boston, at least that’s what my inner @Evilhomer is telling me……….

 

[ToneDog]

We are pretty good on home ice...

Yeah that was the excuse many used when they missed out on home ice. We had lost 3 consecutive game #7s at TD Garden going in. Now it is 4. I'm willing to bet most hockey people prefer game #7 in their barn. No brainer for me. The team that won games #5 and #6 probably win #7 in their barn IMO.

 

[rumman]

You're one of the real ones here @Cleetus

See the game the right way, and watch the rest of the playoffs.

I’ll second this opinion…….

There are a lot of similarities between this series and the Montreal series.

Both very beatable opponents but somehow Matthews and Marner just couldn't do anything.

Columbus Blue Jackets say hi too……..

 

[81Leafs50]

Nylander score 2 wins game 6 single handedly.

Matthews 3 pts and game winner in Game 2. Factors in on all three goals.

Tavares scored. Domi scored. Bertuzzi scored.

MARNER IS THE LOSER WHO DOES NOTHING. Bye bye MITCH. He's a Magician all right. He makes himself disappear every post season.

 

[Strangle]

I’m excited for an offseason of changes

1 for 20-something on the powerplay highlights a lot of issues this team has. With coaching, with the forwards, with the defense, there is a lot of decisions you can make looking at what went wrong there.

 

[Gallagbi]

Yeah that was the excuse many used when they missed out on home ice. We had lost 3 consecutive game #7s at TD Garden going in. Now it is 4. I'm willing to bet most hockey people prefer game #7 in their barn. No brainer for me. The team that won games #5 and #6 probably win #7 in their barn IMO.

We had a shot to win this one and clawing back into the series as the underdog is what kept us alive. I doubt it mattered.

I don't love how we ended the season and think it speaks to some faults on the team itself, but actual home ice is pretty "meh" for me with the mindset of the group

 

[rumman]

This last week was the first time this team looked like it could win in the playoffs. I imagine there will be big changes but we may actually be on the right track.

Snot factor was definitely a factor in the last three games, but once again the high priced talent choked……..

 

[ToneDog]

I never liked bringing in a playoff flop like Jarkrok but that is exactly what the stick boy did and for 4 years. The guys is useless in games 83+.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Mitch the b.tch was his usual in game 7. Totally invisible. No Keefe, no marner, and this team could have won.

Wasn’t invisible

Here he is letting his man blow by him for the GWG.

And everyone gets by Rielly.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Nylander score 2 wins game 6 single handedly.

Matthews 3 pts and game winner in Game 2. Factors in on all three goals.

Tavares scored. Domi scored. Bertuzzi scored.

MARNER IS THE LOSER WHO DOES NOTHING. Bye bye MITCH. He's a Magician all right. He makes himself disappear every post season.

Mitch scored a beauty goal that game they were arguing on the bench. He also missed 13 games down the stretch with an ankle injury when his mobility is crucial for his offensive game. But don't let reality keep you from hating on Marner.

 

[MSZ]

All season I blathered on about how important it was for the Leafs to win the division. Maybe next season.

They had home ice against CBJ and Montreal. Couldn't score in those deciding games.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Defending Marner after he ruined the franchise is crazy
