At both of those too as well as others(Flyers/Carolina), won’t go this year in the unlikely event it comes to that.

Nope and that's the issue with the team. NuHockey does not provision that sort of reaction. They get pampered by the richest organization and all have sweet Muskoka cottages. Win or lose it's all caviar Darcy.

For this game (if I’m management), all the players would be told this is an audition for who stays and who goes.

Lose tomorrow, locker clean out on Friday and Willy can play Sunday vs Aut and/or Monday against the Fins. That should motivate him.

Maurice, like coaches before him, know how to shut this team down
Leafs are Jekyl & Hyde but I expect them to come out scared and tentative. Demons!!!

Matthews line mates have been pretty useless. AJ and Kap moving their legs all game alongside Matthews versus Boston would be more useful than the 11 mil man whose supposed to be QB'ing the offence.
I'm more lenient towards Matthews lack of points based on what I'm seeing in game flow. I keep repeating it, we have him out there doing cardio. His only major mistake came from Marner setting him up for failure, too scared to rush the puck out. Other than that, Bobrovsky robbed him a good amount of times in game 1 and 2 on the chances he mustered. Matthews invisibility in game 3 was 25% on Matthews and 75% on coaching. How many rounds and core window years are we throwing away to the Matthews-Marner combo? We already lost Tavares, he's lost a step. Which is fine (I mean it's fine relative to Tavares decline, not fine for the team build obviously), theory was we would have a cup by the time this happens.

It’s a joke you say that, he was absolute pungent horseshit. He never delivers when it matters, and you’re blaming everything but him. Embarrassing.

Make them earn it, don’t get swept. Make the Panthers go back to Toronto and win a game there. Don’t make it easy. Show some pulse. Stop being scared and just play.
In your opinions…
Short of winning the series, is there anything the Leafs could do that would redeem them in your eyes?
Even if they pushed it but lost in game 7, I’m not sure I’d feel differently than I do now. It’s not the record that bothers me as much how often they squander opportunity.

Bro stop. I appreciate all the numbers and all the data/research.
At some point we have to accept who he is. That he's a glorified Rick Nash
Absolutely nothing. This is not an one off that you can say they had a bad series
This is vintage leafs. After doing something positive, they'll do something embarrasing
We have seen this type of play against Montreal, against Columbus now beating Tampa.
If your best players are not your best players, you are not winning anything. Our best players don't want to win, they want to look like winners
If they don't win the next 4... big changes. Simple as that.
I highly doubt they win the next 4 but I hope I am wrong but I have zero expectations now after those last 3 games. Especially the last game. Zero guts shown.

At least he corrected himself when he said he could believe it.

November 16th, 2019, Pittsburgh gave the league the blueprint of containing M&M.

I don't know if it's just me, but when I hear Keefe speak I feel like he has a mindset that is in scarcity not someone that believes he's going to be around for very long. Not really a guy you want coaching the team when what we need is for our guys to believe. But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

The team is built well. Marner is one of my favourite non-Sens player and it’s annoying seeing him get dunked on by everyone. Sometimes it’s warranted but man.
After years of seeing people gloat about first round exits I’m hoping for a Leafs championship this year or the next.

I don’t think it is. 2 goals per game since game 4 of the previous round. 40M tied up in 4 forwards who can’t score. That’s not a well built team.

At least he is not saying to always bet on Keefe.
