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.

They beat both Boston and Toronto. I'll take that deal.

Or the better goalie

Leafs had to play their AHL starter for half the series. The same thing as when Binnington got injured last year, or when Colorado lost their starter a few seasons ago

Samsonov wasn't going to win either. Your rookie played unreal. Better than Samsonov would have. That guy stinks

This has to be a troll post. Participation trophies are for mites.

It's a famous Reddit copypasta when Nashville swept Chicago in 2017.

Should the NHL have the Panthers and Leafs redo their series in case it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to the Panthers, I'm a firm believer that Florida beating them in 5 is a huge fluke and robs the Leafs of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Leafs play great hockey it's just not fair.
If the Leafs lose again I will face that the Panthers deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Leafs and the NHL.

Please let this be satire.

Congratulations Panther fans, with that said, lol leafs.

Trade Matthew’s to the B’s for Ullmark and Lindholm and Lysell.

I’d trade him to BOS for a ham sandwich and a bag of pucks..

 

[thedarkstark]

Blow it up. Your best players have to perform as such. Matthews/Marner/Tavares aren't it. Rielly was impressive and so was Nylander, gotta give them credit

Nylander is as good as gone, they can't afford to pay him, they're going to have to do some absolute voodoo to resign him.

Maybe John can dream about winning the 2023 Cup tonight, because that's the only place it's happening.

Has there been any word yet on the respect level during the handshakes?

seemed like a medium amount of respect this season.

 

[DueDiligence]

Told ya so, Toronto fans

Come on, give the Leaf fans the respect they deserve.

Should the NHL have the Panthers and Leafs redo their series in case it was a big fluke?

Yes. Obviously.

 

[Il Stugotz]

The Leafs couldn’t score more than 2 goals in a 3 goal league

 

[DFC]

Step aside folks, heads are about to be rolling through.

It was so close, let them play one more game for all the marbles. It's the least the Panthers can do...

Anything to help you cope

 

[tabness]

second round at least?

 

[johnnybbadd]

Marner Mathews or taveras?

Start with management and go from there.

 

[Chileiceman]

Florida beat Boston. There is no shame in losing to them.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

How a linesman can see this clear enough to make a penalty call in overtime:

I honestly had to check this from video like ten times before I believed that yes, Brodie's stick and not Barkov's stick.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Just shows how much the Leafs core is filled with losers.

The support cast was as strong as it has been in a long time around the core. The core didn't do shit in response. The Leafs will never win anything as long as they keep the same loser core they have now.

Winners sure don't push their GMs to sign bloated contracts before they've ever won anything.
