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

[capfit9]

The Leafs have unlimited resources, could have gone out and hired the best possible coach.

Apparently the logical thing to do was to hand the job to a guy with zero NHL experience.

Well he will be the next Barry Trotz 10 years from now.

Keefe has to have some generational talent
In 4 years of his NHL experience

Lost to a zamboni driver
Lost to Columbus playing 5 games at home
Lost 3-1 being up against lousy Habs
Lost to pens 7-3 being when they were missing their top 5 player due to covid

All he has left now is add a sweep to his resume

Been calling this guy fake for like past 3 years. Everyone was like dude you are emotional, boomer. Well proof gents, is in the pudding

He's been outcoached too many times in important games, and made things so easy for Maurice tonight by not shuffling any of the lines around. Bunting-Matthews-Marner was not going tonight. I honestly think he should be fired.

He's no more fake than these core players. Rielly excluded.

Who showed up today? Nylander did. It wasn't JT, Marner or Matthews.

Did Nylander play?

Seriously, he wasnt very good either. They all get an F. If you want to give him the highest F, let’s give it to him.

 

[Kiwi]

Keep Marner over Matthews.

Marner and Nylander. Matthews and JT can kick rocks.

I don't think we're winning with any of them
None of them has stepped up when we've needed them

Jesus that Tavares contract is looking like a ******* noose though

If he won't waive (he won't) I'd do a hard retool and turn the team over during the remainder of his contract because we aren't doing **** with that still around

Wdym, he was good. If any of our 10 mil players played as well as Nylander we win this game.

This is our biggest issue 100%. The guy is our captain to boot. Sticky situation.

Well so far in this series the Leafs have been beating themselves as much as the Panthers have been beating them. Its not like with Tampa where they were choking the Leafs offense and they couldn't get too many good chances. This series in every game the Leafs have had at least a few very good chances in which they failed to capitalize on that could've been the difference in winning at least one game.

Leafs offense hasn't been great, but its not like Panthers have completely shut them down the way Tampa was doing for a number of games.

3 gms 0 goals from our top 4 scorers

 

[fahad203]

Nylander excluded as well.

Nylander was better than the others. But he too had long stretches entire series where he too was invisible

He too needed to be better.

Keefe is a joke. He's a worse coach than he was a player.

His coaching record is fraudulent. The teams he's had would post that W-L record with Carlton The Bear behind the bench.

Fastest coach to 200 wins. Get f***ed.

 

[Nineteen67]

Woll played good but he was pretty clueless on that wrap around. Like come on dude you can't let that shit happen

Rookie mistake to think the Leafs D could make a play. Every player on the ice got beat by two Florida players.

ETA…3 Florida players if we count the D that flicked 25 yard first down completion

 

[notDatsyuk]

With all due respect if and when management want to move in another direction with our team makeup and go to JT with their intentions to move his caphit do you really think it would suit him to not accept it. He is the oldest of the core , produces the least and his caphit is an albatross.

He has led this team to nothing but horrifying losses and misery. What are we holding onto? His cool steady temperament and wholesome personality?

I don't think he has any intentions of leaving, and he may still be delusional enough to believe this team can win him a Cup.

His contract is still Dubas' biggest mistake, and has handicapped him (and the team) ever since.

 

[saffronleaf]

i guess they should at least try to get a W next game for Woll. do it for the kid.

but then i remember what they did to kaskisuo. and what they did to woll tonight. and how they let knies get injured and didn't even push back.

 

[Squiffy]

They did. They hired Babcock. It was a major coup. Problem is they did it backwards. They needed a Keefe and then Babs, not the other way around. They should reach out.

I don't have that much booze available to me ATM.

Gotta plan ahead

It’s over, sorry.

Leafs in 7, no fun to think otherwise. Might as well.

They'll win the next one, probably.

Two at least. Game 6 is the next gut check.

 

[United35]

Why not us?

They had Papi.

We have Papi.

Time to pull a reverse sweep.

 

[IPS]

Marner is the big one, he has been awful. I don't get how he is still playing scared, and doing the same mistakes 7 years later

This is a copy and paste of the Marner from the Montreal series. A fast, tenacious team that threatens him with physical contact everytime he comes near the blue line and Marner just folds like a cheap suit.

Anything is better than a sweep. I mean the goal should be to win every single game. 1 game at a time, and you never know.

 

[Apex Predator]

Can anyone explain to me why they had such a game plan for tipped shots from the point against Vasil and then completely gave up on that plan??

Why are we acting like screening the goalie isn't what you should do against EVERYONE

I wonder if they felt they had to play tight hockey against Tampa. Against florida they feel like they can play run and gun hockey.

 

[myleafs]

I'm afraid your right.... It's the hope that kills us.

Without hope you can't have true despair

He has jump and opportunities vs. MTL, this series is closer to CLB where he was awful offensively. Only now he's following up with turnovers

 

[saffronleaf]

They had Papi.

We have Papi.

Time to pull a reverse sweep.

our papi is a little bitch

 

[IPS]

Man, that honestly felt like one of the more painful loses... what's wrong with these guys ffs there's no passion, no desire... Want to root for them so bad, and see a real run, but here we are. Just f***in brutal

They have playoff games like this to show you they truly don't give a f*** about winning. The fans seem to care way more than they do.

 

[Gallagbi]

Simple answer is you dont notice these unless theyre obvious. Most tip and screen plays arent memorable unless they hit the back of the net. Bob's a much more active goalie than Vasi especially battling through screens and tips.

 

[Mopar]

I wonder if they felt they had to play tight hockey against Tampa. Against florida they feel like they can play run and gun hockey.

So the team just decides how they're going to play their opponent? The coaching staff doesn't have a plan that the team is required to follow?

 

[fahad203]

Playing Matt Murray in game 4 and him having a bad game would be the poetic way to end the season.

While pulling a hamstring making a save.

I remember when his 2 stanly cup experience was going to come handy
