HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Habssince89]

Honestly the bruins did not deserve that but the leafs...just let them have it. Ugh. Come on Panthers lol

This is some quote from Keefe

 

[Schooner Guy]

And they’re right. Toronto really came back. I thought this series was over in game five.

Meh! Leafs were the better team in 5 of 7 games and still lost the series. They had a lead with less than 10 minutes left in Game 7.

 

[Skip Bayless]

This is some quote from Keefe

"...And we beat ourselves, every single time."

 

[Miller Time]

Bare prospect group? You might want to relook at that. They also have Easton Cowan coming up. "Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Easton Cowan was awarded the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL's most outstanding player on Thursday. The London Knights forward finished with 34 goals, 62 assists and 96 points in 54 games in his sophomore season."

Corey Locke won that award, twice.

That dose of reality aside, Cowan is a nice prospect... But perhaps you misunderstood the word "group"

 

[Heffyhoof]

That's why I was hoping they'd win game 6 just for Matthews to come back and lose. It plants the seed of doubt

A loss is a loss.

But they looked different this time. In the back end of the series for the first time ever, it looked like they leaned how to play playoff hockey. Too little too late but still.

That Knies guy is going to be a problem in the coming years. He’s a player man.

 

[The Real Timo]

I can watch Pasta's goal over and over again. And then again.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

I can watch Pasta's goal over and over again. And then again.

I watch it over and over and wonder what Reilly and Samsonov were doing

As soon as you saw Pasta swing back, you saw the dump in coming

Neither responded

Leafs have lost 6 straight Game 7s. This Bruins team looked cooked (nervous, sluggish, couldn't convert a pass) and Leafs couldn't finish them off. It's another year off their championship window that they didn't make it out of the 1st round.

Yep.

They need changes. Problem is that the NMCs prevent it. We’ll see if they can get around it. If not…

Btw, they haven’t beaten Boston since 1959. That’s unreal.

 

[Whitesnake]

Still wonder why there was no pokecheck by Samsonov....

As far as Leafs prospects, it resumes to Cowan and Minten so far. I'd envision them to be there next year. Could give them some kind of jump. But mostly could help them with the salary cap big time.

 

[Banjo Cat]

On one hand you kind of have to give them credit for playing these last two games so tight. Shows maturity. On the other hand it's still probably kind of dangerous to try beating the Bruins at that game.

True. Still they were facing a terrible Bruins team.....but if I'm a Leafs fan, somehow, I feel that this year was totally not like any other year. I feel that they will go for another year. With more tweakings. Or they'll try to go to Marner and ask him to move....

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Marner, what a useless player. Never seen that lack of effort in my life. Insane.

Yup, just lets him go. He's puck watching. Reilly & Samsonov played it poorly, too, but Marner was right there.

If they can somehow get rid of Marner/Tavares they could be a great playoff team. Big blueliner and maybe a power forward… there’s a good team there if they can get out from under those two deals.

It's hard to get fair value when the player has all the leverage in deciding where he might accept to go and has a hefty contract that will likely require a big contract going the other way.

Leafs were so healthy all season until the playoffs began.

 

[The Real Timo]

Keefe is gone after this. Leafs will hire Michael Therrien and will win the cup next season.

 

[McGees]

Marner for Zegras. Makes sense.

[donghabs98]

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Four 10 million dollar players and they all look like average to medicre players. What an awful team that is.

[TheBuriedHab]

The best part is the leafs might sign Domi to a long term contract lmao.
