Post-Series Talk: Boston Bruins Defeat Toronto Maple Leafs (win 4-3)

[GirardSpinorama]

His name is Joe Woll and he is better than Swayman. Unfortunately he was injured.

Hahahha no. Woll had two fluke games and will be the next to be blamed next year.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Auston Matthews can't play goalie.

I was going to say and Samsonov cant score goals. Buuuuut neither can Matthews, Marner, or Taveras

 

[JAK]

Then they should probably run a projection on how much profit they would earn with a deep playoff run.

You know, just to see. Might be interesting!

Sustainable profits is more important.

Cope & seethe, call it

 

[Dr Pepper]

How come they never show Leafs square when something bad happens? That's what I want to see; that's good TV dammit.

They do it a lot actually. I bet Sportsnet loves those post-game sad shots lol

 

[Spawn]

One Leafs goalie got swept vs Swayman. The other Leafs goalie went undefeated.

You're right. Its a goaltending issue. The Leafs should run it back with the same team and just replace Samsonov.

 

[Korpse]

Samsonov was 1-1 when the leafs scored more than 1 goal in a game.

 

[CrownofThornton]

Looking strictly at Toronto’s goalies and drawing conclusions on that alone is silly, and I’m really only saying this in reference to a single poster here.

That’s completely ignoring the adjustments the team made through the series, and the constant running theme of the offensive end of Toronto’s game.

Warning: Controller disconnected

Holy smokes! It's more than just Nylander taking a nap on this play. THIS is a great example of why the Leafs always suck in the playoffs.

 

[RedRocking]

And Samsonov still was the only goalie to lose when they started facing elimination

Just keep slicing that salami thinner and thinner.

I’m sure it will taste good and make sense at some point.

 

[GQS]

Its crazy to see that in the 2017 draft, the Leafs selected goalie Ian Scott (who's now retired because of injuries during his career) with the 110th pick in the 4th round and then the Bruins selected Jeremy Swayman with the 111th pick right after.

 

[Divine]

You're right. Its a goaltending issue. The Leafs should run it back with the same team and just replace Samsonov.

They likely will. Both Tavares and Marner have NMC's.

Change the D (almost all expiring), change the coach and survive next year. The year after use the 20M+ in cap from Tavares and Marner and go add depth.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Nylander and Matthews both missed half the series

I don't think either player missed half the series, actually.

Willy missed three out of seven, Auston just missed two......and the Leafs were undefeated without him so figure that one out.

 

[Donnie740]

Samsonov was 1-1 when the leafs scored more than 1 goal in a game.

Check your facts, my friend.

Leafs Regular season Goals per game

Leafs Playoffs Goals per game

15. Washington 1.75
16. Toronto 1.71

Any questions?

 

[SPV]

Pretty incredible series. Leafs played much better defense than I expected. Outside of game one everything was hard fought.

 

[JAK]

Its crazy to see that in the 2017 draft, the Leafs selected goalie Ian Scott (who's now retired because of injuries during his career) with the 110th pick in the 4th round and then the Bruins selected Jeremy Swayman with the 111th pick right after.

Swayman thought the Leafs were going to draft him too as they talked to him the most.

 

[Spawn]

So serious question.

Why do the Leafs always look better when Matthews isn't in the lineup?

 

[TheNumber4]

Its Giordano's fault others didn't show up?

Man, I hope when something is my fault I have a Giordano around.


The whole reason its low scoring is because the laughs didn't show up.

Partly yes. Hockey karmas a bitch.

 

[biturbo19]

This is some quote from Keefe

He's so fired and he knows it.

 

[toddkaz]

Partly yes. Hockey karmas a bitch.

Its also not real. Like Unicorns and Leprechauns

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Predicted this on Thursday.

Leafs win game 7 if Matthews stays out. They lose if he plays.

Matthews is a natural born loser. Gifted goal scorer but that's it. Doesn't elevate his teammates like the true greats do. Leafs played a lot better without him in the lineup. He's the one that should be traded.

 

[kylbaz]

Can't blame samsonov. Jets would kill for two goals against. We paid ours 8m to let in 5+

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

7 games. 12 goals scored. Lost in game 7 OT.

Yeah, it's your goaltending's fault.
