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

[MilkofthePoppy]

The silver lining here is I am not going to watch another hockey game until next October.

Normally I am angry after a loss, but the boys showed some heart. Sucks to lose off a terrible bounce like that but this is what happens when you create a hole for yourself.

 

[9Iron]

With Woll out we lost our swag.

4th line out after scoring which no coach at any level does, will infuriate me til the end of time.

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

How can they be a professional hockey team but still suck so much at winning hockey games.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Keefe and Marner are the first pieces that need to go..Nylander and Matthews will be ok ..it was expected to end like this so i am not that upset

 

[DitchMarner]

The best shot they had was killing the last ten minutes after that first goal. When regulation ended, I knew what the result would be.

I'm not mad at most of the team, though. A lot of guys played hard and it's not fair to lump them in with those who were disappointing.

Marner has to go at this point. It just isn't working. There have been so many series where he could have been a difference-maker by just scoring or assisting on a goal at a critical moment. I still think they should let JT walk next year. Make some changes and do the things that worked well again next year and see what happens. All you can do is try.

 

[hotpaws]

have to get rid of Tavares , your not going anywhere with that loser and it's a disgrace how they continually pimp him while all he does is stumble around the ice doing nothing

 

[Boxscore]

Shanny, gone.

Keefe, gone.

Marner, gone.

Taveres, either does the decent thing and retires, waives, or gets gorilla glued to the pressbox.

Samsonov, gone.

Matthews on notice.

 

[GQS]

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.

They NEED to make some major changes. Previously I was in favor of keeping the core together and trying again, but this playoffs has proven beyond a doubt that big things need to change. Its INSANE to see all these highly paid players barely able to score when it counts the most in the playoffs. Time to make some big moves and shake things up because the current mix can't do it.

 

[Leafs87]

Honestly game 7 was a toss up and games 5-7 was pretty much all Leafs. It’s about learning how to win so it doesn’t become a coin toss. Game 3 and 4 were awful all around

 

[ClarkSittler]

Choking loser franchise doing what it does best. I'm not watching another second of Leafs hockey until Shanahan is fired. He is a complete failure. He is Boston's bitch.

 

[Crispy Crust]

I don't want to see Mitch Marner in a Leafs jersey next season. That guy is a fraudulent superstar.

 

[LaPlante94]

Another series where we played well enough to win but just can't win. Time to clean house and get entire new coaching staff because everyone on that staff failed and shake up the core because they failed as well, especially on the PP. No excuse for that PP to be under 10% and idc who the PP coach is, those players are way too talented to be that bad with a man advantage. Crazy that Woll gets injured after he shifted momentum in this series and can't go game 7. Like wtf is that luck.

 

[AvroArrow]

On the bright side we'll see some BIG changes that are long overdue.

- Marner needs to f*** off, inform him he will not be re-signed and to make a list. 8 years in a row the guy is a complete disgrace in the playoffs

- Keefe needs to f*** off, bring in a real coach and a guy who can run a powerplay above 5%

- Shanahan needs to f*** off

- Re-sign Tavares at 4-5M or let him walk, his legs are cooked

- Re-sign Domi and Bert

I wasn't expecting this team to compete for a cup this year, so it doesn't really hurt like in years past. Just really want to see some major changes.

 

[colchar]

In no other arena in the NHL would that puck fly out of that corner like that.

BS. Just give it a rest.

 

[TorMapleJays]

See you July 1st

f*** this team. I’m done

 

[TMLAM34]

What a f***ing joke. Two terrible goals go past Samsonov. Woll can’t stay healthy. This team NEEDS to go out and get a legitimate number 1 goalie this off-season.

 

[Trapper]

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.

 

[HarryLime]

We just dint get to have lucky moments

 

[Evilhomer]

Well, boys, yet another one of these endings. It's been a blast shooting the shit with everyone. Even you, @Evilhomer

I have money on Florida to win the cup, so I'll be in Around the NHL, then she's night night till next season.

I have to eat my words (and the money I lost). I hate this result, but that was a hell of an effort by the Leafs. Cold comfort.

I apologize if I irritated anyone this season. I thought this one was a lock.

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

Can't believe it ended like that. Let the changes begin....

First time?

 

[TheScandal89]

I knew it was over when they said Samsonov was playing, I don't wanna hear any excuses, the goals he let in were softies at the most crucial moments

 

[BertCorbeau]

This team is just cursed against Boston I tell you though

 

[colchar]

They finally have an excuse to clean house. Send Shanahan packing. Fire Keefe. Hire Joel Quenneville. Trade Marner for D/G upgrades. Losing this series is the best thing that could've happened to this team we would've gotten mopped by the Panthers anyway. Let's blow this shitshow up

Do they sign a goalie long-term, or as a stopgap until next summer when A) they are out from under the Tavares contracts; and B) when there are a bunch of good goalies available in free agency (assuming they don't all sign before then)?

 

[Gallagbi]

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

 

[BillyOcean]

I for one blame Kyle Dubas.
