Just an unacceptable performance

that is really the sad part.
fans get burned and the players jump in there 100,000 vehicles and go home no loss of revenue
that I do feel bad for, for the price of the tickets and such

and the 34 jerseys on the ice 350.00 each

You think seeing a win makes the cost worth it?

Don’t feel bad for them. Life is way harder than blowing money on entertainment. These people have agency, and if they want to make foolish decisions that’s their prerogative.

Let Marner and Tavares walk, give Knies 12x8, and the C, he's the superstar in the driver's seat.

I do wonder how Florida would be faring in this series if say, a Leaf player had skated through his crease halfway through game one and accidentally injured Bob.

There is no excuse for our forward group, but this Florida team isn't disliked because they play hard, no, that's not it.

It's tough to lose, but worse when you lose your starting goalie 30 minutes into a series.

This is such a crap narrative. 1) Leafs have a 1A/1B setup where there is little to no drop off between the two. 2) Panthers have a 10 million dollar goalie and a mediocre backup they picked up at the deadline after trading their goalie of the future. 3) Until game 5, Woll had been excellent for the Leafs

There is no question which team is better prepared to handle an injury to a goalie. It sucks that Stolarz is hurt, but to act like that injury changed the series is completely laughable.

Seeing Stolie, their glue, the guy who coordinates their flow and structure 5v5, puking on the bench rattled them to a man, and that was the series right there.

After last night’s performance Berube needs to threaten the Tronna Pretty Boys with a solid bitch-slapping…Maybe they come out game 6 and play like they have a pair.

Wonder of who became the lucky recipient of the one that made its way onto the ice surface?

I do wonder though. Just like the accident last year, by the same player as it were; who accidentally injured Knies in game one. Hmmm..

I am not a big believer in Karma, but with this Panthers team and judging by their Cup win last year my doubt in this seems to be confirmed.

If there is any karma though, it will hit something fierce.

If they don't make the Cup Finals, I said before this season, you walk from Marner and JT at min. Unless JT takes a REALLY steep hometown discount and is willing to play 3rd Line Center, with PP action.

JT at least wants to win, he isn't as shy about going to the greasy areas but Leafs need as much Cap space as possible as they have fired so many bullets on trying to build around flawed stars who just don't have it.

Leafs will have to regroup with Cap Space and they still have enough to make the playoffs, but expectations for a year or two will be lowered until they can refresh their lineup.

It's also why I didn't wany Tre to go too hard at the deadline but at least he has term on Carlo and Laughton.

Sports is amazing though isn't it? Two years ago if the Panthers DON'T come back from that 3-1 series deficit against Boston, how does their team look today?

For a team to be down 3-2 in a series and seem completely lost, is frustrating. Their loss of Stolie in Game One of the series just sunk their flow and structure which he was a big part of. The injury to Stolie may have cost him MANY millions in a future contract if they could have rode him to the Finals.

If Leafs scored one extra goal in multiple Game Sevens and/or score in OT against Florida in game 3, how much different does everything look today?

In the end if the players don't want it enough, none of our pontifications mean much. I do know that if Panthers beat Leafs, they will remain the least popular team left in the playoffs.

How many 3rd line C get 74 points?
 
I don't know, if I should watch tommorow's game... It's a 2 am start.🙈 If they show up, great. If they don't show up, it'll be frustrating. Will they show up? Well...if they don't, I can at least drink beer... On week days that's not an option as I cannot arrive in the office drunk.😂 Sooo, I just decided to stay up.

GO LEAFS GO! (hopefully Mitchy will sit...)
 
Quick count here but Matthews/Marner era Leafs are 3-10 at home in game 5 onwards of series (excluding bubble year altough I guess that would just make them 3-11). Which is honestly wild. Its tough to be that bad at home.

I mean I don't disagree with your general point...I think the OP is a stupid narrative. In saying that....Woll was awful in game 3 lol
