It was the allocation of the $11M to a single player when it was known by everyone they needed depth, defense, and goaltending.
IMO, if Lou stays, then that team doesn’t sign JT and he allocates the money to defense and depth (Freddy was his acquisition). They probably get way farther under Lou than under Dumbo.

How I’m sleeping tonight knowing Pajamas will never win anything in TOR and isn’t won even close the amount of the isles since he left.
Richie Daggers Crime

People (mainly Toronto fans) will scapegoat Marner, and maybe that’s a bit justified with some of his play, but the core four for them don't exactly get it done come playoff time in general.
Matthews: 0.87 PTS/G, 0.43 G/G
Tavares: 0.65 PTS/G, 0.32 G/G
Nylander: 0.79 PTS/G, 0.36 G/G
Marner: 0.89 PTS/G, 0.20 G/G
Matthews is under point per game for his career in the playoffs despite being a point per game player every year of his career except for his rookie season. Tavares is a shell of what he once was and is putting up inexcusable numbers in the playoffs for a player making that kind of money. Nylander is the only one who truly lives up to expectations based on numbers, but Marner having the highest points per game in the playoffs out of the four is a bad look for a team that is probably going to run him out of town this offseason. Maybe Matthews needs to step up and actually put the numbers up in the playoffs like the other guys who he gets compared to do such as MacKinnon, McDavid, Kucherov, Draisaitl, etc. Maybe Tavares should play even somewhat close to an $11 million player.
Like I said, Marner for sure has his flaws, but he is far from the problem in that core group and even further from being the problem when the team as a whole is taken into account.

I still think it’s only fair if the broadcast cuts to leaf square after the leafs score, they should also cut to leaf square after losing on that OT goal as well.

Player Discussion - Mitch Marner
Last two games: Willy: took 7 hits, gave 4 hits, blocked 5 shots, was +1, and led the team in shots (10) and goals (3). Mitch: took 5 hits, gave none, blocked none, was -1 (the biggest -1) and had 2 shots. If Willy isn't worth $11.5, what is Mitch worth? to the leafs, nothing We shouldn’t...

Stay safe!
Dubas and his Strat-O-Matic crap really did a number on that team, it cracks me up that there are still dumbasses with shrines to Dubas in their mom's basement in Toronto even today.

I love that this douche gets an annual reminder for posting such a dickhead post. LOL.

IDK, to me that's a no icing call 100 out of 100 times. His skates didn't gain the redline, but the puck was at the redline as he released it. Or at least close enough that they always give that to the player. They only call it if the puck clearly separates from the stick before the redline and you can see the puck alone on white ice before the line. Last night was too close to call.
That was all about timing, and nobody on TOR did anything to interrupt the timing (it wouldn't have taken much, either). They just left a clear path to the puck. And Pasta made an amazing play. At the speed he was going, and the speed at which he moved the puck to his backhand outside the post, for him to get the puck on goal with a little bit of elevation was remarkable. Most guys (like 499 out of 500) the puck would have dribbled off their stick, or they'd have put a weak shot into the goalie's pads.

It’s very satisfying watching Pajamas during an elimination game post interview. He always looks like he witnessed a mass murder.

Man, I really do not like CAR, or their fans. I'd find them annoying even if they hadn't beaten us 3 times in recent years. I'd list players I don't like, but it's easier to list the ones I do like (actually, let me get back to you on that one). Brindy is annoying with his whining and his whiny face. The fans seem more interested in complaining about calls than about the game, and their knowledge level seems not to have increased much in the years they'd had a franchise. Man, again, I really hate CAR. Having said that, Go Canes!!!
i know, blasphemy....i can not pull for the Canes. I live here...it is a no go for me. With that said, hoping for a seven game series, each game going into triple overtime.

I detest Carolina and their whiny ass fans. I think the amount of diving and embellishment of the Carolina players is f***ing disgraceful, Brindamoan is such a massive bitch considering what a tough player he was. I hope the Rags beat the shit out of that team for 7 games and watch them cry throughout the series. Canes in 7, I'll go back to hating them right after they dispatch those mouth breathing POS's in MSG.

Not to pile on #91, but if you watch the wide view of the OT winner it was Tavares who had an opportunity to take a quick stride towards Lindholm to make him either release the puck sooner (icing) or have to go around him to gain the redline, which would have required Pasta to wait at the blueline. The focus is on Marner, but there's plenty of blame to go around on that goal (and at least Marner was skating - Nylander's coasting was a really bad look).

It really is sad how far this dude has fallen, but he made his bed and has to lie in it in his PJ's. It still amazes me how badly he bumbled the whole fiasco surrounding his antics to join the Leafs. This schmuck is a HOF candidate and both Isles and Toronto fans will have a massive amount of vitriol for him. Well done dumbass.
