Post-Game Talk: End of the Shanascam? | Leafs Blown Out at Home Again

[Trapper]

Marner really should have taken that trade.

Would have loved Rantanen.

 

[Apex Predator]

Your coach has no answers. What a let down. Unacceptable from Berube.

So 3 coaches with no answers. It’s obvious whether some would like to admit the problem with this team.

 

[Daisy Jane]

You'd keep Willie? Why?

no. he can go too.. (also Heya ) you know me. I am zero. attached. to anyone.

 

[ZEBROA]

After the first goal, the crowd should have left the building. With a clear message, that they Come back when they score.

We all knew this was a first goal wins kind of game. At least first leafgoal, we might win. First Panthers goal, no chance in hell we win.

Probably would not change anything but why Holmberg on 2nd line. Next year give Nylander mcmann at least. And a faster C.
The line becomes to long otherwise. Need the ability to stay closer in speed.

I expect a whole different team next year.

 

[PromisedLand]

man what entitlement... toxicity has begun if it hadn't already....

wtf did you guys do huh?

 

[NVious]

Keeping Kadri means this current core wouldn't still be here. It would've changed few years ago. At least Kadri shows up.

Obviously keeping Kadri is better than losing him for nothing, but you cannot win with this core. Kadri or no Kadri you cannot win when your best players disappear.

 

[SprDaVE]

Everyone collectively has given up on this core.

Good on Berube for calling a spade a spade after just one year.

His job is to not do that though. He didn't call out anyone, he just said he had no answers and was just frustrated. If he gave up, then he should be gone tomorrow.

 

[peconcan]

Blow it up. Get our first back tank for McKenna and build around Knies

 

[Crispy Crust]

The first 8 minutes of the game was literally the most pathetic play of hockey I have ever seen from any hockey team at any level in my lifetime. The core group should be embarrassed, but they won't. It's another day at the office for them.

 

[djdev]

LOL 9 years in, 9 season ending interviews with these "stars" and not 1 time did any one of them say "I NEEDED to be better" not once...ever. trade em all.

 

[The Masters]

 

[thewave]

Yep. It's everyone else's fault Willie disappeared.

He helped turn the tide in the first. The team did nothing.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Woll is still young and has shown some nice promise. This series has been very volatile for him.

He needed to be better but he has still earned some rope to grow.

 

[meefer]

Only one thing to do; tear it down.

 

[Action Jackson]

Good job Shanahan forcing 1 more year of marner on Berube.

Look how tiny he was in the handshake line.

Matthews and Nylander are already soft.

We're too soft in the top 6. This is not a playoff formula

First step is to not sign another shrimp in UFA this summer. sorry #16

 

[Nineteen67]

not even close lol, they do not hate losing enough, its a good team just does not have that will to win when the games get tough, its a flawed roster for sure

Good, but not a Cup contender.

 

[tp71]

Well I'd like to say I'm surprised but that'd be a lie.

Marner out, JT out, probably time for Mo to move on.

I'm fine with Willy and AM34 staying.

When the management has been searching Reilly's entire career for someone who can play with Reilly...well...at some point, the problem is Reilly.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Leaf Fans are still the salt of the earth.

Scarred badly, but they are great fans.

This team still has a lot of these players signed. We'll see what they do with some new forwards and prospects. Knies is a great player to stand behind, and he's quite young.

Next year should be ok.

 

[saffronleaf]

Babcock is a f***ing prophet: “There will be pain”

The way he said it it seemed like there was going to be some glory at the end of the pain but should have understood him literally

 

[Apex Predator]

man what entitlement... toxicity has begun if it hadn't already....

wtf did you guys do huh?

Did he at least add himself as one of the passengers?

 

[NVious]

man what entitlement... toxicity has begun if it hadn't already....

wtf did you guys do huh?

It's very possible that Matthews/Marner are so insanely delusional/arrogant that they genuinely believe they are like Mitch said "Gods" and can do no wrong.

Maybe they really view themselves as McDrai despite being closer to Clarke MacArthures come playoff time.

Remember when Keefe called them out and then apologized the next day? This is the end product

 

[Blanka]

Marner really should have taken that trade.

 

[danron1376]

went down 3-0 and then tried to play video game hockey the rest of the game (just trying for the stretch pass) which just reduced time left on the clock.

 

[binop7]

I do feel Tavares was really rocked in that game against Ottawa and was never the same. Not even the same player from what I saw. Probably post concussion issues.

He was powerful and dominant with the puck. He was barely noticeable after that

Florida are much faster and harder on the forecheck than Ottawa

 

[Crispy Crust]

Matthews should start a podcast with James Harden where they both reminisce about their game 7 failures together.
