Post-Game Talk: Hit em with the 4 like AM34. Leafs lose 4th straight game 7 to Boston: 2-1

[BackPassChampions]

No Bergeron
No Krejci
No Chara

Boston playing rookies and Leafs still got bent over.

How many 11 AAV+ players on boston?

New MLSE CEO better be making calls already and firing Shanahan.

 

[PromisedLand]

Time for Sheldon to get the f*** out. If our special teams was capable we could’ve won this series. Instead the PP is shit AGAIN and we fail to convert multiple times and it costs us! Clear the whole coaching staff!

Mitch has to go. He’s incapable of stepping up in the playoffs. It’s 8 years of this shit. Time’s up. Convince him to waive his NMC and reallocate that money elsewhere.

Samsonov can go. Hopefully Woll can stay healthy over a full season and playoffs so this situation doesn’t happen again. Bertuzzi can go, don’t think he wants to come back anyway. Domi I’d bring back. Not too high on Edmundson or Lyubushkin. Think something is there with Dewar and would keep him.

Leafs PP has been absolutely DOG SHIT every playoffs. Its the same high AAV morons who can't do F-all; its the same head coach. Assistants have come and gone. Leafs also don't have a point shot. Rielly on #1PP is a JOKE

 

[Gabriel426]

Clearly I am not about following a winner lol. I might just not watch the league anymore.

But Avs is literally what we want from our guys and build the way of our Leafs.

We want AM to be like Mack, who takes charge with a no non sense attitude.
Reilly to be like Makar
JT to be like Landy
MM and Willie to be like Rantanen.

 

[ORRFForever]

Here we go as a template. Lots of cap space to work with:

Xxx Matthews Nylander
Knies xxx xxx
McMann Domi xxx
Holmberg Kampf Jarnkrok

Rielly xxx
Benoit McCabe
Edmundson xxx

Xxx
Woll

Bertuzzi stays, too.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Our depth was excellent: Benoit, McCabe, Domi, Knies, Dewar, Woll, Bertuzzi

Nylander was a stud. JT did what he could which I respect

Rielly, Mitch, Auston were disappointing to put it mildly.

Looking forward to changes

 

[Leaf4Life79]

First off....they never lost 4 straight, as pissed off as I am, correct your title....or did you mean series against Boston? Also wrong

 

[Mitch nylander]

Well this sure is another heart breaker, will start reading how to fix this tomorrow, but for tonight, I just want to thank the HF leafs board, it was amazing posting, and interacting with a lot of you during the season, cant wait till we start again!

Been a pleasure

 

[Cleetus]

Remember when that one random montreal fan kept shitting on Slaf in our GDT. So many gems this year

or the time one poster said we should be in a retirement home lmao! and we were just going to rip up some NHL 94 lol

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Treliving gotta be absolutely COLD. Tell Marner's agent they are not signing him. If he is not willing to waive he will be sitting in the pressbox for the entire season.

He should just chokeslam Marner

 

[All Mod Cons]

Wonder if we finally find out what happened to Matthews, Willy and Woll?

 

[Rob Brown]

Hard to say Matthews was disappointing given the circumstances.

 

[ER89]

Bertuzzi stays, too.

f*** that p***y did jack f***ing shit.

Sub 4.5 or gtfo

 

[Brown Dog]

Tough loss, but nice to fight through some adversity.

Needed those saves from Sammy, even if it's tough to expect perfection

Ahh well, make the changes and see what happen

You can look at it like they fought through adversity to come back from 3-1...

...or you could conclude this team only performs when the pressure ramps down.

 

[Darch]

Was a great series, with lots of ups and downs. Unfortunately, they came up one short. Their defensive system was horrible, and the Bs had it to a T. Tonight, the only one getting good first passes out of the D-zone was Tavares!

 

[leafsfan5]

Post-game media chatter feels a lot like 2022 vs. Tampa where we got "respect in the handshake line." Even Keefe might be safe.

Though this shouldn't justify 2022, at least that year we lost to an elite team that won B2B cups and was going on another run

This Boston team genuinely sucks, and so do we

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Is Keefe actually going to be fired though?

I don't want anyone to be like anyone. I want them to win... however they can. They are never going to look like those guys... maybe with a new coach and approach and a core adjustment? Regardless, I just want playoff series wins.

 

[ZEBROA]

They batteled way better then the first games. Not ashamed with the effort at all. But knew they probably would loose with Sammy. Even if he was ok this game.

The sad part is had they batteled this hard at start of the series, with Woll in net, they would probably allready won. Nylander the first games might have helped to. But it is what it is, looking forward to some change.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Bertuzzi stays, too.

Yeah I don't mind that at all. Just depends on his price and I actually assumed he'd prefer to be in the US for some reason.

 

[34]

See ya next October!

I’m done. f*** this team. I hate it.

 

[Menzinger]

Is Keefe actually going to be fired though?

His extension hasn't even set in yet too lol

 

[Bomber0104]

You're one of the real ones here @Cleetus

See the game the right way, and watch the rest of the playoffs.

 

[LaPlante94]

Holmberg, Jarnkrok and Robertson 0 points in the series combined. Idk how that happens. Jarnkrok has to be upgraded and shipped out. McMann was clearly missed because that 3rd line didn't help us at all.

 

[Daisy Jane]

First off....they never lost 4 straight, as pissed off as I am, correct your title

2013, 2018, 2019, 2024.
4 straight game sevens.
the title is correct.

 

[Ports]

We should have been chasing a President/GM asset combo a la Doug Armstrong / George McPhee a long time ago.

We've been absolutely short-changed here in Toronto with sub-standard quality of management.

Lou was perhaps the best asset we had who actually saw a good culture shift from losing to winning and we handed it over to a wannabe-MBA type with no experience in hockey.

It started with Liewike who knew nothing about hockey hiring Shanahan who had no management experience and he and Dubas thought they were smarter than everyone else and could win with a pond hockey team.
