If anyone wants some hopium

2022 Panthers end their lengthy 1st round exit streak then get swept to SCF Bolts

2023 panthers look like theyll be in the cup finals

2023 leafs get pass R1 and break their 19 year drought then get swept in round 2 vs the Panthers

2024 leafs... cup?

I'll take it one step further. I had a dream before this game that Samsonov let in 3 goals early in the game and Woll came in to save us. Maybe that 3-0 meant 3-0 in the series and we're due for an epic comeback? Stay tuned!

They don't have much time, and I doubt they are coming back to win this series...first it was Leafs in 5, then Leafs in 6, and now is it Leafs in 7?

Yeah, I mean I agree. It's very unlikely. This team has the talent though, but it takes more luck than talent to claw out of an 0-3 hole.

Florida is scoring first in game 4 and the leafs will lay down and die

There is no fight in this core, they won their prize. First round champions
Well I think we all know the Leafs will lose, but let's give them a little credit. They can do it in a variety of ways. They could battle back to force a game 7 and lay an egg then. Or they could jump out to a huge lead in game 4 and go on to blow it. I'm really excited to see how they pull it off

They may win game 4 but even if they do this series is over. They f***ing choked again and blew it.

The only way to explain their effort is Marner, Nylander and Matthews better be having surgery next week.
Why should that change anything? We’ve seen other teams stars play their hearts out, win and then get surgery. I’m tired of the injury excuse for them not showing up.

Two goals in the last five games with the offensive firepower we have? Where have we seen this before. This core can't do it, they're done. Keep two of them, bring in a new coach, definitely change the bottom six, bring in at least 3 new defencemen, and let's see where that gets us.

At the very least Keefe has to go. If you keep this core then put a new coach in at least. Anything. It won’t work but I’d rather see a new face fail behind the bench.

This. Even when they’ve gotten some points, the amount of times you could point to them at the end of a playoff game and say “that guy was clearly the best player on the ice tonight” hasn’t happened nearly enough relative to what you need from your best players at this time of year.
I have yet to see a playoff game and think 'wow, Matthews/Marner/Nylander was a threat all night'

I don't recall Ovechkin, Crosby, or other stars going cold for EVERY playoff game.

I don’t like Matthews as a person either and trust me I’m upset he’s a loser too but we won’t get another like him. That’s what I’m most upset about. The superstar we finally got is a big pusc and mentally weak.

Sigh I wish we had a mackinnon mcdavid Crosby competitive star But we have three 11 mil frauds
Seattle has no stars just a hard working team .

I told my wife game 4 will be like 5-0 this team showed to everyone they don’t want to be here. Keefe is a moron. Dubas is a moron trying to act like a nerd.

I wish just once that Matthews, Marner, or Nylander looked like the all-stars that they supposedly are, during the playoffs. How many years now of them just, not showing up at all?
Five playoff years and 1 qualifying series.

Can’t believe this team has been held to only two goals a game this series. Insane how ineffective the so-called Big Four are. We got goals from Knies, Bunting, ROR, Kerfoot, Lafferty, and Gustafsson. If even ONE of our highest paid players could show up on the scoresheet we’re probably only looking at a 2-1 series deficit.
