Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 3-2 in OT | Down 3-0 in the Series

[BertCorbeau]

Also because it is the Leafs if we trade Marner and Matthews what is the O/U on them suddenly having playoff success on their new team? 2 maybe 3 seasons?

It's a lock of a bet IMO

 

[Dragao6]

Does anyone think we would've done better if we didn't make any of those trades? I feel like we lost our cohesiveness as a team and started getting outplayed on a regular basis since the trade deadline

Our big boys are invisble
Been invisible almost every playoffs

Trades helped us win round 1

 

[ToneDog]

I always suspected Marners hockey IQ was lacking and his God given skill masked how low it really is.

Playoff after playoff....it's becoming apparent my suspicions look true. He's not that smart of a player.

He's a right winger and only eats right wings. Lol.

 

[Chief Leaf]

Did you not watch the OT goal?


Leaf players already gave up

Yah shit happens sometimes it's happening shit but I still look forward to the challenge.

Again,..the horn don't blow till it's over stay positve bro! GLG

Hoped u liked that one. Musta stung .

Continue to Beleaf in your loser team

It surprised me but yah, it stung!

No Need to leave the hive though!

Are you any relations to "THE MASTERS of Self ejact you -lations,..because you're rubbing me off in the wrong way there downstroke.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Willy and ROR at the top, Mitch, JT and Matty at the bottom. That says it all quite succinctly.

Marner couldn't even muster up an xgf% of 30% in a must win game huh? That's a new low even for him.

 

[Altair]

Year after year, Marner plays like a beast in the regular season. Makes all his detractors "eat crow", until the playoffs start.. and once again, same old story with Mitch. Can't get it done in the playoffs.. most of his points came in the first 2 games vs Tampa. Then hardly anything not worthy since, and NOTHING in this series vs the Panthers

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Yep

 

[DarkKnight]

Only these Leafs could finally get the first round monkey off our back only to follow up by getting swept in the next round.

It’s a special group.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

This series validates the f*** out of Paul Maurice. He’s definitely getting way more out of his lineup than Keefe. Leafs have no answer.

I have no idea how he couldn't get it to Kerfoot ... Bennett did get his stick in there, but I'm not sure if it was that or ROR just not seeing him

 

[3blizzard4]

Just thinking about the long off season and the potential of an another season, maybe a retooled season or perhaps a down season is just giving me tons of anxiety.

 

[Gabriel426]

If the boys manage to win this Series, they will win the Cup.
But I doubt it bc the big boys didn’t show any signs of fight in them.
If we have McD and Drai instead of AM and MM, we would probably win a Cup or more with essentially the same team in years past.

 

[leafsfan5]

I think I'm done being a hardcore fan. I was going to stop if they lost in the first round but this is essentially the same thing

There is no point watching this team for 70+ games, following the daily lines, deadline rumours etc. Just a waste of time when they do the same shit over and over again

 

[Woodman19]

For me its not even the players as much as its the philosophy. The way other teams operate in the supposedly more dangerous areas of the ice are almost completely devoid of any fear of being hit so they are able to press us in areas they should be defensive. I am sick to death of this all out possession and aversion to physical play, like how hard is it to throw a check during a dump in? Yeah you are taken out of the play but if you hit your check you take someone else out and maybe the pressure would force more turnovers.

 

[ToneDog]

With which goalie?

It would be fitting to play dubas' big pickup, Murray.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I always suspected Marners hockey IQ was lacking and his God given skill masked how low it really is.

Playoff after playoff....it's becoming apparent my suspicions look true. He's not that smart of a player.

Well he's a highly creative player who can see plays on a level that most simply can't, but his risk-reward analysis is awful especially in the playoffs. He's smart in the sense that he can see the gamebreaking pass that can lead to a goal if he pulls it off, but constantly overlooks the potential downsides for trying it and usually gets burned

 

[Gabriel426]

Just thinking about the long off season and the potential of an another season, maybe a retooled season or perhaps a down season is just giving me tons of anxiety.

They are not going to retool. They will just move others instead of touching the big 5.

 

[stats1]

The issue I have is after scoring 1-0 this team said ok that’s enough we’ll just nurse this….. imagine Marner that arrogant idiot… saying we know Florida I been there it’s all Toronto fans. He was already expecting an easy road game

 

[Community]

It's going to take a handful of picks to unload tavares's contract, but honestly it will probably only be a fraction of what we get when we dump the other three. I say do it.

I'm not advocating either way, but he's owed 8 mill/year in real money for 2 more years. If I'm a bottom team with capspace and on the rise I would be over the moon to add Tavares for free for 2 years. You either move on when you have to give other guys new contracts or re-up him for cheaper.

He's definitely not on a value contract, but he's still a #1C.

Imagine CBJ adding a #1C for free? They haven't been able to get one in forever. You're telling me they wouldn't take him for free or even pay to get him?

 

[leafs in five]

I get that the core deserves their criticism but like McCabe is a disaster and that's not on them. or at the very least he and Brodie bring out the absolute worst in one another. OT icing cycle started with them turning a routine pre-breakout D to D pass sequence into a fight along the boards to get it past our blueline. it happened over and over.

 

[The Masters]

Yah shit happens sometimes it's happening shit but I still look forward to the challenge.

the big loser is doubling down tonight. fk man thats rough

 

[Gabriel426]

I am hoping Murray wants to prove to the World wrong as he had done it time after time in the past few years.

we have been here for all of it, preseason, all 82, and all playoffs, I might skip game 4....

 

[WillyC]

It’s gotta be the tik tok helmets causing this

 

[Sizzle]

Me too. This team is a god damn disgrace. I literally hate them. I don't even want to invest my time on them anymore. At least the Mats Sundin years were likeable teams. This team is so unlikeable, it's disgusting.

I would fire Keefs right now. Why not? He's gone if they lose this series anyway, so why not try something drastic to see if the unthinkable can happen

Couldn't have said it better
