Speculation: Leafs dressing room filled with illness

[IronHookem]

The flu? We are SO unlucky! Oh well, time to accept defeat and run it back next year, which WILL be different!

Shoot this team into the sun.

Toughest market in the league, everyone.

The fact that no one on the Leafs or any legit (if there are any) reporters have said anything publicly, including Berube in his comments re: last game.

And it's not like saying a couple of players were battling something a few nights ago gives Florida an opening to exploit it. What are they going to do, check harder and hope for a bowel movement? This isn't Slap Shot.

Maybe one or two had a flu bug a few nights ago, maybe, doesn't explain away a near total-team breakdown last night.

Didn't Matthews have the shits last year too?

Cramps

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.. but there is mostly certainly some sort of flu/virus/Covid stuff going around at the moment. I'm not suggesting that's an excuse for this team in the least, just correcting your assertion.

Maybe it’s the measles.

Put some tussin’ on it and get to work .

I know they have yellow fever, but they’ve had it for years.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

They’ve been sick for 9 years.

If after so many years of let downs and disappointment my team’s local media was peddling these excuses on behalf of the organization I’d be probably livid.

If there is an illness, the organization can talk about it, the commentators and pundits don’t need to do the PR job for them mid-series, no less.

Infection control is part of a team’s responsibility in any case.
