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

[ClarkSittler]

Carolina is not a contender... they fold every year against good teams.

Everyone but the Cup winner folds to good teams. In the last 6 years Carolina has only lost once in the First round and made the Final 4 twice. Sounds like a contender to me. They are currently the odds on betting favorite to win the cup, but I guess you know more than the experts that set the betting lines.

These guys gotta be the biggest group of losers ever.

Nothing has changed with them. They are still the same. Can't believe they actually kinda pulled me back in with each of the first 3 games. What a fool I am. Not falling for it anymore. These guys suck and are the biggest group of losers this league has ever seen. I can't wait till they're all gone and they start a rebuild. Maybe I'll start watching and giving them more of my time when that happens in a decade. This team has zero chance of ever winning the cup. Even if they beat Ottawa they will be slaughtered next round.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Carolina is a favourite every year

So are the Leafs

they never do anything.

They do more than Toronto

Congrats on not following anything but betting lines.

What do you think the people setting the betting lines follow? Please tell us what insights you have that they don't.

Here we go with the bad comments

these are both reasonable things to say idc

 

[leafs in five]

I think Lorentz should have tried to feed Calle on the 2-on-0 but that was a pretty nice backcheck by Perron, who should be a Leaf

 

[leafs in five]

I think Stolarz was fine and we didn't score anyway so what's it matter but he played the SH goal like it was a cross crease pass when it was in fact a far wall to slot pass, he's already extending to splits when Cozens gets it in the centre of slot. he also ended up in the net a few times after making saves. I want Woll in personally but again what's it matter if they can't score at the other end.

Wonder if Dubas would do Syd for purse boy. Then he can sign Marner as well. C'mon, with Dubas, y'all know it is a possibility.

Leafs sign JT for 6 million. Then you have 30 million plus to sign FA's

Kneiss Syd Nylander
Domi JT ??
McMahon Laughton Robertson
Lorentz ?? ?? Sign B Tanev as an FA for 4th line.

McCabe C Tanev
OEL Carlo
Benoit Myers (or an up and comer)

Move Reilly to say Chicago for picks. Another 7 mill cleared

With Dubas at the helm in the Burgh, if Syd could be convinced, I think Dubas would do this. Then he would sign Marner. (And probably hire Keefe)

But you have to get rid of the head of the snake and that is Marner & Matthews

For 37 million plus, you can get 4, 5 maybe 6 pretty good hockey players for that.

I know this will not happen, but hey I buy Lotto tickets every week as well

Was sportsnet calling the Laughton line the "identity line"? Lmao

 

[Niagara Bill]

Same poop, different season.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

They lose this series, I am finished as a fan. Slept on it and this is it. 82 meaningless games every year just to get absolutely embarrassed for a decade straight and before that almost another decade of not even making the playoffs. Enough is enough.

 

[Primary Assist]

Optimistic Leaf fans: there's no way they can lose four straight!

Me:

 

[Racer88]

Agreed. Matthews has a NMC, let him play out his contract and do not resign him. Use the cap on depth when the time comes

They should ask him if he would accept a trade

 

[Dragao6]

Not sure he'd want to come here at this point.

Your right
What a change
I guess were the ones in the shitty position not 97

 

[JL17]

Is there an allergy with putting McMann on the second line? Proof is the whole season and how well he played on that line.

 

[Nineteen67]

I disagree. They don't play like they are afraid of contact of physicality... not to me anyway.
But, I don't dismiss any idea. Something prevents them from performing.

Not physicality, more lack of ability…..

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Getting shut out at home in an elimination game is really bad. Even if we win the series it's ugly

 

[Nineteen67]

No one does. This franchise is a bad joke. Empty seats next year. Wow that Laughton trade was stupid.

Empty seats? No chance, they’ll sign a 35 yr old winger, win the off-season championship once again, the media will pick them to win the Cup, and fans will be back.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Not even shocked we are here. They make everything difficult.

 

[Anthrax442]

Marner's "We had our looks" is exactly same as Keefe's "Respect at handshake line"

completely empty

 

[leafs in five]

need to turn the Leafs part of my brain off, I have so much shit to do this month and yet here I am

Matthews....WHERE ARE YOU?!?! Why does it seem he's always hurt or playing half asked? You make 13 million...You have ONE GOAL IN 5 GAMES DUDE!!

Matthews is my biggest whipping boy, but the entire expensive forward group did not show up.

Happy for Knies looking like a gem, but God dammit, this just has Montreal written all over it.

Captain Fantastic and the No Show Cowboys……..

 

[leafs in five]

Marner's "We had our looks" is exactly same as Keefe's "Respect at handshake line"

completely empty

imo these things are not exactly the same and not really remotely the same either!

 

[rumman]

Fan support for this franchise will be done after these playoffs like probably never before.

It’s getting so bad it “might” effect jersey sales………

 

[leafs in five]

Matthews 2-on-1 chance (no shot on goal), Lorentz 2-0 (no shot on goal), 5 shots on the first shortened PP including a slot one-timer by Matthews, Marner had the point blank chance off the Rielly blocked shot. they had their looks, obviously, it's also a cliche, MM is capable of waaaaaaay worse answers than that.
