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

[Ulysses31]

WONDER IF WOLL injured himself on the geekie goal. looked akward.

 

[PromisedLand]

Marner was with Pasternak at center ice and then just let him blow to the net. Watch the replay. The goal is 100% on Marner

Both Marner and Rielly were absolute f***ing ASS on that goal


They score 1 goal and expect Hasek like performance in net while taking all the money for themselves

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.

Correct, and it was people like me that were arguing with the Burke fanboys here about the need to draft-rebuild the team...you know...being in the bottom of the league to secure the lottery picks to get the top draft talent...because that's easily the most efficient way to acquire talent in the salary cap era....obviously?

Well they did that finally and then botched it completely by paying them all top-10 salaries all together and then deciding they wanted to play a non-contact style in the playoffs.

Not a conspiracy guy at all but at this point I'm almost thinking that Bettman planted Shanahan here to sabotage the whole thing.

It was going so well until all of a sudden we hired a stick boy as our GM.

 

[Dayjobdave]

This last week was the first time this team looked like it could win in the playoffs. I imagine there will be big changes but we may actually be on the right track.

 

[Gallagbi]

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.

Assigning arbitrary pressure never made sense. When your seasons on the line, there's pressure.

Suggesting otherwise is just a fans excuse to validate their beliefs when the story doesn't go as planned. Shows they've never really dealt with athletic pressure

 

[Habs10Habs]

Definitely a tough loss. As much as it sucks to lose, the Leafs showed a lot of heart. I've become a big Knies fan, that kid impressed the hell out of me.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'm going to credit Trev for surrounding the team with the depth and grit that is needed to be successful in the playoffs.

But yet again, it's the top players that can't get it done to make a difference.

 

[Tlo1]

Reilly was deep in our zone and should have had the dump in or take pasta out. Reilly has got to go. Let Brodie and samsonov walk UFA.

 

[LaPlante94]

Jarnkrok is another gift from Dubas.

Another two years at a nice $2M to skate around and watch him wave at sticks.

He should be easy to off load. His regular season numbers might fool somebody. Don't even need much for him because he can be replaced by Greb next year. Get a pick or 2 or a depth player who can help the PK for much cheaper.

 

[DuklaNation]

Lot of question marks on roster. At minimum, increase offense from dmen and/or speed on wings with top 6. Rielly isn't a #1 PP dman.

 

[Optimist]

We can have 3 more Domi's for the price of 1 Marner. That's insane.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Leafs would have won this game with Woll. Samsonov is just never positioned right.

The most leaf fan reaction possible is to blame the goalie when a team has had an absolutely anemic offensive production in the playoffs year after year.

 

[Superstar]

12 goals scored in 7 games

Not winning anything with those offensive numbers

Powerplay is less than 5%...1 in 21...no team is winning a round with these numbers.

 

[bax]

Kypreos saying Marner will command 12M.

I can’t imagine any team giving it to him except Pittsburgh. He’s a good player but it’s pretty clear he’s not built for the playoffs.

 

[PromisedLand]

Leafs did great coming back. Honestly, I think that this core has earned one more year to get the job done. Shanny has built a great team, they just got unlucky. I don't see any major changes being made.

Vancouver Canucks suck monkey balls GTFO

 

[wingman75]

I feel like I should be more upset than I am.

This loss brings so much hope for change, that I think it is suppressing my disappointment.

 

[Gallagbi]

Reilly lost Pasternak

They all did. Marner needs to get the lane, Mo needs to read the play and Sammy needs to get a stick on it

 

[Taylor Halls Teeth]

Im still feeling good about how good they looked with a legit goalie. I will grieve tomorrow.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Toronto ties NHL record by scoring 1 goal or less in 5 straight winner-take-all games.

What an amazing franchise!

 

[Buds17]

Having no players at or above the PPG mark - and certainly none of the players who played in all seven games - was a BIG problem.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Whhhhhhhhhy didn't Reaves kill the rat at least............puck man.........

 

[leafsfan5]

Kypreos saying Marner will command 12M.

Thanks for the no-shows Mitch, now f*** off

Use his money on players who will make impacts commensurate with their salary

 

[socko]

Tre has to be brave enough to make major changes. He'll need Shanahan fired to free him up to do that. Still a lot of Dubas stank on this team.

 

[Ports]

That’s what happens when you don’t show up until game 5. Instead of a 2-1 series lead, it’s game over.
Game 5, 6 and 7 is the right way to play. Hard, physical, positional. Can they rebuild into that? Playing like that from game 1 and they win.

I think that’s Treliving’s vision. He brought in three tough and physical dmen as were Domi and Bertuzzi. Dewar too played hard.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Iam so fukking mad my old lady aint coming anywhere near me.tonight. she should be beside me.sleeping, she goddam well knows better

Ummmmmm
