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

[LeafsMonster]

Makes me sad thinking about how far the supporting cast carried Auston Matthews during his goal slump for the captain to dagger them like that.

And everyone that was asked about his drought was nothing but defensive of him, propping him up.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Rielly has always been a poor defender but he has been terrible the last 2 seasons. I want him gonzo along with Marner.

A couple of seasons ago I kind of defended him but he has been absolutely terrible and the limited offensive upside he has isn't worth the adventure defensively.

 

[Aashir]

First real time I don’t feel sad or mad

I feel completely indifferent. Maybe because I knew they wouldn’t do it. This one doesn’t feel bad in the slightest.

This team has actually started killing my passion for hockey

 

[BraveCanadian]

Team scored 4 goals in their last 4 games

This is a recording.

 

[notbias]

Tre knows what a D-corps look like, so his handling of Rielly in the off-season will be interesting for me. It's clear when you look at this Defence, Morgan is the one dude that looks out of place. It'll be tough to maneuver around this NMC, so a buy-out may be in order here

5th worst GA/GP this playoff... does he?

 

[Ports]

Let this be a lesson to all teams in the NHL. You can't build a team with 4 $10MM. Especially when they are all little bitches.

The truth is the rest of the league already knew that, they just didn’t tell Shanny and Dubas.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Marner really should have taken that trade.

After seeing what a complete joke he is every playoffs you'd have to be insane to give him a penny more than he makes now. I don't want him back even for $10 million. You simply don't win cups with soft, timid players like him.

 

[Ports]

they played to win the division so they get to keep the home ice advantage

Of course they did. Unfortunately it didn’t help them.

 

[colchar]

Matthews's passenger comment is really irking me. Because it sounds like there's serious disconnect in the room and he might be part of it. Even if mitch leaves, this disconnect might continue

Agreed.

 

[GlitchMarner]

The start was terrible, but for about ten minutes in the first, they looked decent and kind of took it to FLA. Had a couple of breakaways. Unfortunately, they were by fourth line guys.

If they had gotten a goal or two in that period, maybe the game would have unfolded differently. But they just sucked in the second and never made the type of turn-around they did in the first period. You knew it was over at 3-0, but if they hadn't gotten scored on right after that Domi goal, at least the finish could have been somewhat interesting. Remember Game Seven between St. Louis and Winnipeg.

Losing is one thing, but it really sucks to have family over and have so many pumped up for a game and have little to cheer or get excited about.

 

[Bellefour20]

If the opposing coach needs to come out to defend these sorry sacks of overpaid crap...

It sickens me that the entire f***in league rushes to their defense.

The entire league was openly mocking the Leafs up until the conclusion of this series. They can't stop gaslighting this market.

 

[sxvnert]

it was pointed out that while marner was berating his teammates to wake up, his hair was completely dry and then was on the ice for a giveaway for the next panthers goal immediately after lol. i wasnt watching so i cant confirm. but sounds true.

100% true.

 

[MSZ]

well he is a free agent this summer...but would he come here? we would have to overpay big time

He will never come here. He handpicked Florida when Boston talked to him about the trade.

 

[colchar]

Good point, well argued.

:

It was so effing stupid that it didn't warrant anything else.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I have to agree with Maurice here.

I think the leafs showed some growth this year.

It would be a mistake for you guys to run Mitchy out of town, out of anger and panic.

I know this sounds like insanity, but I'd just run it back.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Would have loved Rantanen.

Hard to believe there were actually people here claiming Marner was the better player and deserves more money.

 

[Leafsfan74]

I take no pride in calling this cores inability to win in the playoffs BEFORE the Columbus series. I still remember how much I was mocked. .It's simple, Brad has to get ownership to agree to the big moves. Buyout Reilly if he doesnt agee to waive. He should have been replaced by Petrioangelo when the opportunity arose, I canvassed on here hard for Dubas to make the right decision. They need character to win, not talent. Give me the personalities akin to a Knies, Lorentz, Patches,.McCabe Tanev, Benoit. I dont need 100 point forwards of 50 point D Men. the team.needs warriors,.players who WANT the pressure. They hate losing, hate being outhustled, refuse to accept being folded, on home ice no less

 

[djdev]

I don't care if it is true, fits the narrative.

Man, he was so bad... not just in execution and complete but actually creating plays for FLA with his nonsensical turnovers.

When the tough get going, Marner get tip-toeing.

i knew marner was never gonna get it done when he started tossing pucks over the glass vs mtl out of fear.

 

[Mike4Leafs4ever]

5th worst GA/GP this playoff... does he?

Move Reilly and sign Evan Bouchard for the PP

You're delusional.

I would had said the same thing if I am the opposing coach, why would I want other teams in the division to get better?

 

[francis246]

The crazy thing is marner could have been the king of the city. But he's going out as the most hated. And you just know he's going to score every time he plays us and act all vindicated.

Matthews's passenger comment is really irking me. Because it sounds like there's serious disconnect in the room and he might be part of it. Even if mitch leaves, this disconnect might continue

I’ve been saying this and I’ve been called an idiot. Glad people are catching on. Letting Marner walk is putting a bandaid on the bigger problem, which is probably Matthews. Look at the way this team plays without him, it’s night and day.

With Matthews here I don’t think we find success truthfully.

 

[sxvnert]

Marner really should have taken that trade.

Taking the trade could expose him as a fraud before hes locked in his next deal.

 

[LastOne2100]

I know this sounds like insanity, but I'd just run it back.

Please god no

We need team first guys.
