Imagine a fan base being sick of losing Imagine a fan base who are also sick of half-assed efforts, Imagine holding a team accountable. But you do you, and cheer no matter what.

lol its like way back as a youngster the downcast feeling sitting out in the cold and snow for hours to prevent yourself from yaking when you had one too many in a warm house that seemed to keep spinning.
 
People don't really understand choking. Matthews is clearly a choker right now, but he has the chance to turn this around. That's what makes him a choker. We all expect better and were shocked. You can't be a choker if you're not good enough and that's where Marner is. He actually tries too hard. He battles and does everything in his power. He put more effort in than Matthes, the issue is that he can't hold up to the intensity. It's just not there. He is too measly to really be a threat. If he had a canon of a shot or game breaking speed it would be different, maybe. He's just too easy for defenders to stop. Unless it's a PP and even then he can't even do that. If he can't produce in the playoffs on the PP you're really looking at a useless roster spot.

After which you rinse and repeat the next weekend.
 
Here is the problem in a nutshell.. The rules get called in the regular season and not the playoffs. Guys like Marner and Matthews can use their skill to pile up wins and regular season points. In the playoffs, it's clutch, grab, interfere, etc. It's an entirely different game.... The NHL needs to start calling the rulebook in the playoffs.

The NHL won't, which means stars have to fight through.

The fan base is generationally deep and the bulk dont bitch on social media. Many have seen far worse teams and have supported them.
Dont mistake the interweb noise for the rooted fan base. Maturity comes with age for some after they have dealt with failure, success and general adversity in their own personal lives.
Those who have done something in their lives find a balance of compliments as well as bitchiness.

Like I said, he must have just became a Leafs fan last Monday night after game 7 was over.
 
Both Marner and Matthews are overpaid losers. The Leafs will miss the playoffs next season. Book it!

True, we feasted off the powerplay all season......wait....
 
Sack the ones who decides how the PP should be played and constructed. Realy hard to win if the special teams aint working. Lost the series right there.

One goal there would take away some pressure from Marner and Matthews. And could have been enough to win one of the games we lost.
