Post-Game Talk: Leafs Book Their Tickets for Game 7 [MOD WARNING in OP]

Carolina goes down 3-0 and comes back to win their elimination against the Devils. Why? Because they have another gear they can go to and know that they can take chances and go all out with a 3-1 series lead.

The Leafs? Same first gear and perimeter play all game, afraid of getting into the rough areas. I think strength, stamina and speed on offense has been a huge issue with this core. They just don’t have the ability to keep up in a playoff atmosphere. That play Knies had at the end of the period where he nearly stole the puck multiple times against a couple of Sens on his own, in their zone? You will never get that type of aggression from Matthews, Marner or Nylander. That’s what a playoff player looks like.

Sick of crappy playoffs every year. Leaning towards giving up hockey.
It's sad when your team makes you feel this way.

I was a fan through the 80's, which was way worse than this... like not even close.

If I didn't have memories of that, I'd proably feel the same.

I tried to quit the Leafs in 88/89... didn't take.
 
Was in the building tonight.

Was actually comical watching them not only come out so flat, but to see 34 & 16 get shut down by hall of famers Shane Pinto, Ridley Greig, and Mikey Amadio.

Look: if you still think these guys can win with Matthews & Marner so central to their plans:

1-13 isnt a coincidence. The eyes dont lie. They are what they are.

They sucked back then but at least they were entertaining to watch and gave an honest effort.

Was it really though?

Fun fact. The 80s Leafs actually won more playoff rounds than this core.

Berube claims to not be afraid of the matchup. He should be afraid.. very afraid.
 
Not sure he'd want to come here at this point.

The reason he'd want to come here is because it's his childhood team and his family and wife are from here.

For some reason, he also says the Leafs are his favourite team to watch. I think there's a shot, especially if he doesn't immediately re-sign on July 1st.
