Huh. That is exactly what they said about FLA when the Leafs match-up formed.

And before Boston

The funny part is going to be watching Matthews go somewhere else and win a cup

 

[Race Dawg]

Thank you Florida!
Signed the Rest of Canada

Leafs chooooooookkkke!!!!!

Darren Pang is an awfully tiny man

 

[Green]

That’s not in the net

there is a chance it went in, but it was probably the right call, but if a ref called it a goal it would be hard to overturn based on that evidence, but it seems it could have been called back on goaltender interference if there was enough contract

 

[Realgud]

Window is done.

Was it ever opened?

Too many people that need to be quoted on how dead wrong they were, particularly about Bob. Whatever, we all know who they are.

Solid series from Matthews. 0 goals, 2 assists, and scoreless in the final 3 games. That’s 44 points in 50 career playoff games.

Well, you can no longer mention Matthews with McDavid or Drai when it comes to the leagues best players. No heart, no soul.

Maybe they needed the dress code they whined about to get it relaxed.

I hope Carolina blows the Panthers THE HELL UP. Bennett is a GARBAGE POS PLAYER.

Lmao. No he isn’t.

 

[Xirik]

We want Florida indeed...

 

[JackTColton]

You have to think this is the end of an era.

New Coach is a given.
Likely completely rejigging the core. Clearly Matthews won't lead this team to a cup.

SO much was given up for this run.


Really interested in seeing what changes will be made.

Id think Both Sheldon and the nerd are fired tomorrow and the new GM begins shopping Matthews….

Dumbas did a lot for Toronto to bring them where they are. I would also say he made the right moves.
The Way Games and Series end are always not you liked, if you drop out in the PO.

But they have a Year left till it all Breaks down, cause no one can pay four Forwards 10 Million that would make around 45 million on 4 Forwards, its a bit hilarious the Situation they Face,

And they have 10 UFA in their Line Up and Samsonov being a RFA.
So you can say Murray is on his Way out.

So the Situation isnt easy, who is playing next Year for Toronto, this Team will look different next Year. Thats is a 100% garanty, The Top 4 are the biggest sorrow for Toronto

Bennett and Bob had good series, Matthew was solid even if he didn't score a lot. All three guys proving their value and great playoff players.

Congrats to the Panthers, I doubted you but I was wrong. Good series

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

if the refs call this a goal, is there a chance it gets called back anyway for goaltender interference, seems the Leafs player was pushing his stick into Bobrovsky which pushed the puck back

Almost as good as the goal Tampa scored they took away and the boarding they called correctly on Point and took away. Watching the Leafs get destroyed is worth it.

 

[dhfa]

Its a hot take for sure. How many teams have this much scoring? Not to mention Ekblad was a Norris candidate just a year ago. The team is loaded with talent. Two 40 goals scorers a couple 30 goal scorers. They hit, fight, forecheck, It really shouldn't be a surprise.

The panthers are obviously a great team and deserved to bounce the leafs. I do think carolina will put up a better fight than the leafs did, but I think that can be said about all of the remaining teams since the leafs only got 1 win haha

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Matthews is as useless a star as I’ve ever seen

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt till he exits the sandpit that is the Toronto Maple Leafs organization. I see a Kessel-like redemption for him once he 'leaves' to a greener pasture.

 

[IceManCat]

I love those jerseys

 

[Moose Head]

Can we stop to celebrate that not only did Toronto lose again, but the Florida draft pick that Habs fans thought would be a lottery pick is now pick #29-32? It's rare that the Habs and Leafs BOTH lose so badly at the same time, but I'm here for it.

Tavares, Matthews, Marner = a shocking waste of $30+ million dollars. They deserve to shoulder this blame from their ghostly performance.

It was a no lose situation for Hab fans. Either the habs get a mid 1st or the Bruins and Leafs both get humiliated. I like the Bruins and Leafs getting humiliated more.

Plus, that’s still a hell of a return for Ben Chiarot.

 

[Sheppy]

I might order a Matthew Tkachuk jersey

 

[Master P]

I love those jerseys

Easily the best setup in the league. imo

 

[CupsOverCash]

Wonder how those leaf fans feel that were outside the arena saying they want fl lol

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Leafs didnt deserve to be in the second round......

The 2023 Pretender parade starts tomorrow!

Leafs didnt deserve to be in the second round......

They absolutely do. They got outplayed and cheap shotted Cernak to gain an advantage.
