I’m usually about as optimistic as they come here within reason, and tonight I’m just disappointed (as usual). Easily our worst game of the series at a pivotal moment
Post-Game Talk: Could've been worse. Leafs go down 3-1 in the game and the series.

The Matthews/Marner/Nylander/Tavares/Rielly core has one measly playoff series win together, and even that series win was not convincing in the least bit. It's embarrassing how lifeless this team becomes once the playoffs roll around.
Had to keep Robertson in for his offense.
And Brodie in for his PKing and transition game.
I kid you f***ing not.
Too late to add Josh Leivo and Lonny Bohonos for game 5?
That guy is wrong all the time, not just tonight. Has never made one correct prediction ever.
I'd love to see him put down some serious money on one of his predictions and post a picture of the receipt on here as proof.

I remember when we thought they would get better at playoff hockey as time went on and they gained experience and fortitude.
I think they might actually be getting worse.....

Nah, not healthy I'd say.
Other than JT, none of the core are in top shape. Killing themselves to get a pointless 70 goals lol
But really, none of them look healthy.

I bet Keefe didn't scout Boston at all since he thought they were playing Florida...amazing coaching.

Nah, it was a crappy game. A good indication that even if they come back and win this series, it won't mean anything once they start playing better teams than Boston. If it leads to a coaching change, at least something good will have come out of it.

If there aren’t any major changes, Shanny is clearly just a puppet for the board that doesn’t want to loser revenue from losing a star

I watch the same series every year. I'm starting to believe this franchise is just a clever homage to Bill Murray.

I think Keefe should look at how to get his big guns playing instead of scouting other teams

This season was the least games I ever watched, and this is the reason why. You can call me negative, you can say whatever you want, but its clearer then ever we aren't going anywhere with this team barring a miracle.
I remember Kucherov insulting Montreal after beating Vegas in the ECF saying "that was their cup", well as pathetic as it is, 1 first round win was ours...

They were better first year of Mathews. They can't even get to 7 games wow. Just a horrible team with so many holes. Not even close.

I've heard all the excuses, too.
"Vezina goaltending"
"Good defensive team; bad matchup"
"Bad luck"
"Matthews playing hurt"
"Tavares had another kid"

If you're adding Bohonos you will have to find a prime Mats Sundin too.

Exactly. If he doesn't waive, sit him.

What is he supposed to say... it's an interview.

I need more FOOD
Time to remind myself the pre playoff position I had
Its a WIN-WIN Scenario for us
A) Either Leafs go on a deep run -> WINNING SCENARIO
OR
B) Leafs lay an egg and its time for some big changes starting with Keefe getting FIRED!
I warmed up to Keefe a bit when he benched Tavares when JT was sucking but he went back to his tried, tested and failed version again.....
Plus 2nd reminder to self:
Treveliving's post GMs meeting interview. It was obvious from his talk that:
1) The "answers" in the post season have to come from within the locker room not from additional help
2) He was already talking about the summer and how teams are usually built in the summer and he would be better positioned to evaluate it after a year for next summer. IMO he was already looking towards the summer to build the team mostly on the defensive side of things.
