GDT: Around the League 2023-24: The Marathon Becomes A Sprint

[bellagiobob]

Cmon Stars, show up tonight and make it a series.

Well, any E. Kane drama pales in comparison to the leafs debacle this post season. Rantsnen threatening to kill Georgiev is also right up there.

 

[dem]

Omg…

This powerplay… woof


Where is the urgency

 

[bellagiobob]

We get our PBP team opening cheering for the Kings, and the Leafs have these two continuously slobbering over them. Hey fellas, 3/4 of the country is cheering for the Leafs to lose, try to at least fake the odd Bruin complement.

 

[Dynamic]

We really are spoiled watching our PP compared to whatever that was.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Gotta think if the leafs are out in the 1st round there's gotta be a crazy amount of turnover

No way you ran back the same coaching staff and players and hoping for something different

That’s what I thought a couple of years ago…but Shanahan et al seem smugly secure.

 

[snipes]

Food poisoning or not, Matthews already played two periods. Looks like there was a hissy fit fight on the bench with Marner, Matthews, and Nylander. Makes you wonder if something further happened in the lockeroom during intermission.

Seems as though it’s just quitting on his team. Yikes. Going to be a lot of drama in Leafland over the next couple days before they get bounced.

 

[bellagiobob]

This series had games Wed, Sat and now Tues. Leisurely pace.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Leafs need to lose marner and Tavares and get a goalie and 5 new defensemen

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Matthews fizzles in the play-offs?

Who knew?

 

[FlameChampion]

Leafs fanbase and management must be gutted. Their team and core are just absolutely ineffective against Boston. Woof.

 

[oobga]

Everyone reading into Nylander saying stop crying bro looking at a bruin skating by.

Friedman turning into a drama queen trying to create lame narratives.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

LMAO..Hrudey has to sleep on it on whether the Leafs have to change goalies next game.

 

[BlackDogg]

HF Leafs reads like CP during the 2022 BOA.

And like that loss for Calgary, I suspect this series loss for Toronto has the potential to break the franchise.

Move them to Arizona i would say

 

[Messrules11]

Leafs, hahaha

 

[CROTT]

Cmon Stars, show up tonight and make it a series.

Tonight? I thought it was almost going to be tomorrow. The NHL can F$%k right off with these start times.

 

[dss97]

Leafs whole team: 7 goals in 4 games
Zach Hyman: 6 goals in 3 games

That’s the Tre magic. Methodically break a decent team down to absolute crap, then move on and do it with another team. Quite the skill.

At least they weren’t shut out #leafspositives

Can he go to Vegas next?

Watch the leafs make a 3 mill per offer for VD.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

I've hated the Leafs for years but maybe it's that I'm getting older but I don't hate them at all anymore. I still kind of like when they lose but I unironically thought they would handle the Bruins fairly easily and posted on this site as such

What is going on? They look awful

edit: and they score lol, and it's Marner the zombie

Having lived and suffered through our Decade of Doom, I can’t imagine how it feels to be a Leaf fan…over 50 years away from the Cup. Think the real fans are pretty decent folk who have to rely on a lot of bravado, false hope and improbable odds every season. I blame the TO media for the hyper-waxing elephants.
I also suspect that MLSE carries on Harold Ballard’s philosophy……”who cares what the team is like, we sell out anyway”.
In that world, the fans are bottom of the totem pole. And the media cashes in on their misery.

 

[BlackDogg]

Losing this series being down 3-1 in the series isn't as bad as being up 3-1 to Montreal.

 

[McDoused]

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[TheNumber4]

That leaf’s game was an all timer.

Nylander shits the beds in his return. Matthews shits the bed literally. Marner throwing a tantrum. Leafs bench falling apart and calling eachother crybabies.
