Post-Game Talk: Leafs Eliminated.

[seventieslord]

Shanahan, Dubas and Keefe out please. They've had their chance. The "Shanaplan" has failed. Time to move on.

Hire some really good hockey people. Preferably ex-Leafs that love this team. Let them go to work on this. We have some very good assets that can be exchanged for players that are a better fit here.

The shanaplan is a perfectly good plan, it just wasn't executed properly in the end.

I mean isn't the plan simply to bottom out at the right time and get a few high picks, draft properly and build around them?

 

[thewave]

Can't believe anyone defends reffing anymore. Of course Gudas plain as day holding and pulling the stick out of the way of the shot on the winning goal and it's okay. Then take our goals away in 1 goal elimination games.

We got robbed for sure that game.

 

[Suntouchable13]

That's a problem

I know it is, it's frustrating how this league operates.

 

[seventieslord]

Id take Kerf back at the right price.

But what is the right price? He is not better than any of the bargain basement players dubas finds every summer. The only problem with him, comparatively, is that he makes over double what those kinds of players make.

I mean we just gutted future for this year and it turned out to be a joke. I don't care if I have to watch the worst team on paper competing out there. Phaneuf was a better leader than Tavares. Tavares is f***ing nothing, I'm pretty sure Colton Orr was better than this mother f***er.

 

[Gabriel426]

I think you need to move on from Marner. We need more toughness and grit in the top 6. Florida exchanged Hub cap for Ratchuk and they are in the ECF. Despite having a down regular season.

They were the President Cup Winner last season.
Think the guys just learnt how to play in the playoffs and improved on that.
The difference between playoffs and regulation is that you have to be clutch when you have the chance. Our boys were more clutch against TB and Panthers were more clutch against us.
AM and JT got some really good looks in front of the net but they didn’t convert.

FWIW Tavares score the gaol that won the Leafs' their first series in nearly 20 years.

I would honestly rather have colton orr at 3 million over Tavares at 11

We got beat by Sergei Bobrovsky single-handedly in the year 2023.

Soak that in folks.

We're always getting beat by someone.

Price, Bobrovsky, Perry, Paul, Danault....the list goes on.

We're never on the other side beating other teams/players when it matters.

You could've put a figure skater in his place and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. No real use for him or Jarnkrok

 

[Stephen]

Sorry Morgan. It’s time this core is blown up to pieces and you individuals can sit and ruminate on what could have been if you guys weren’t all such a bunch of dead head screw ups as a team.

Under 1.5M

And we still want him gone. He stinks.

 

[Future]

Refuse to watch any more NHL hockey for the rest of the year. Let them enjoy their conference finals of Vegas, Dallas, Florida, and Carolina. Will be the worst ratings they’ve ever had.

Protesting this shit league between the referees, DPOS, and Bettman’s leadership. Things need to change because it’s the best sport in the world but the worst league by far.

 

[LastOne2100]

Poor Rielly - he gave it all he could. If only his teammates cared as much as he did.

Hope he's a Leaf for life.

 

[BertCorbeau]

And we still want him gone. He stinks.

I'm not saying he isn't above criticism .. but saying he's worse of a leader than Colton Orr is well.. meh.

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

And he can wear that title like a medal for the rest of his life. IDGAF about his fluke goal.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Replace Marner and Tavares with this to help Nylander and Matthews and we might win a cup:

 

[PromisedLand]

bunch of wusses on this f***ing club not ony they let bennet injure knies they let this piece of trash do this crap to woll

 

[Rude Dog]

Play that stood out to me. Tavares gets rocked by the guy who has been running our guys all series. Not one guy made him pay for it. Tonight or all series. For a team that loves each other that is sad.

leadership is more than puck skills my friend. How can the team be motivated with such a lackadaisical captain? On NYI he had some big boys who did the heavy lifting and formed the identity of the team.

 

[seventieslord]

Under 1.5M

Well then he's gone isn't he? That's all I would want to pay him too.

But there's no way that somebody who's accustomed to earning $4 million dollars and who can say, I was once a 50-point scorer, is going to take that kind of salary, we both know that.

That was one part of the plan.

Do we need to talk about the part where Shanahan handed the keys to a rookie GM when we were on the cusp of being a very good team for a very long time?

Critical error.

Time for the entire crew to go.

 

[Nineteen67]

The crest matters more in the decision then the infraction itself

Other than that hit never happened once in Leafs Florida series.

 

[PromisedLand]

There’s no way Matthews deserves 15-16 million a year. Dude coasted through this whole game

Kyle Dubas hockey philosophy
