GDT: 2025 Playoffs - Second Round

[DavidVolek]

if they don't announce Matthews and perhaps others were dealing with injuries they will probably need surgery for than they are truly a screwed franchise

The fact that the leafs have a longer drought than us still boggles my mind.

They're screwed either way.

And with that, the Tavares era is over. Ending with 0 cups, 0 conference finals appearances, 2 second round losses and 5 first round losses. Happy elimination to all, and to all a goodnight!

It's not necessarily over. I'd be willing to bet he takes an extremely team friendly deal just to stay in Toronto.

Marner may stay too depending what his wife wants to do. I am not sure he would get a comparable offer though, he won't turn down 30 mill less

I don’t care if he wins on his next deal. We needed him in his prime.

Tavares I could see staying. If I was Marner, I'd want to get the f*** out of there ASAP.

While I have some empathy for the fans, it's nice to see in Tavares 7 years in Toronto he didn't go as far in the playoffs as the Islanders did.

From here on out I don't care how well they do. That contract is up, that's it for me.

Both his and the Isles loss, unfortunately. But that's over and done with now. This "plan the parade" Leafs squad didn't win shit, and that's all that matters.

No he scored the series winner over Tampa

No he scored the series winner over Tampa

YES, the Leafs in 7 seasons have only ONE first-round win in 2023 that was against Tampa

2019 first round loss - lost to Boston in 7 games
2020 qualifying round loss - lost to Columbus in 5 games
2021 first round loss - lost to Montreal after being up 3 games to 1
2022 first-round loss - lost to Tampa in 7 games after being up 3 games to 2
2023 second-round loss - beat Tampa in 6 games, then lost
2024 first round loss - lost to Boston in 7 games
2025 second round loss - lost to Florida in 7 games

EDIT - HAHA - yes sorry forgot about the first round this season.

What’s weird here is the ORGANIZATION needs to say ‘no thanks.’

 

[mm11]

Panthers are relentless on the puck. Smothering. Wish the isles played like that

They did in the early 80's.

Too lazy to look it up. How many millions did pajama boy earn on that 7 year deal. Geez, took them to the cleaners Jt.

$77M, he actually took less to sign there too.

HAHA - you are correct!!!

if Tavares was smart he is going to wait and see what Marner does, if Marner leaves than there is probably no reason for Tavares to stay as the Leafs are probably not going to be a cup contender any time soon again, at that point I am sure Tavares is going to decide if he just cares about making money or winning a cup and I am sure both of those things won't go together as no real cup contender is going to offer him a generous contract

I’ll be rooting against him until his career is over, regardless of team
