And then when the Leafs lose game seven we will be right back here again. I honestly believe fans understand this hence the complete lack of excitement for the post season.
Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2
- Thread starter Jimmy Firecracker
- Start date
Over the last 2 seasons He has 1 goal and 3 points more than Jesper Bratt who signed just a year and a half ago for 63 million over 8 years (7.85 aav) . Let that sink in.
Short of a deep playoff run, the team needs another Black Monday like it had when Shanny started. Preferably with somebody competent in charge.
you can't watch a team get hemmed in their zone and get get 12 shots through 2 periods every game and expect them to win a 7 game series
It's simply not possible. And if you magically do...you sure as hell aint beating the odds again nevermind 4 times
To me they’re the same thing they’ve been the whole time. The core has shown no growth and adding at the trade deadline like we have has made no difference. I thought it was a good year to stand pat and see if the coaching change would get them to up their playoff game.
The help they need has to come from within these guys. If they show they’re willing to get bruised and bloodied and come back for more the next shift then you make moves. Until they show growth you’re basically buying lottery tickets and praying for a miracle.
I guess our differing opinions are based on whether we felt they were already a legit cup contender on March 6th or not. Because if they weren’t, Carlo and Laughton imo weren’t going to turn them into one.
It’s the incessant overreactions - - for losing and for winning - - that Leaf fans have .
I was downtown two years ago when Toronto eliminated Tampa in game six, and it was so cringeworthy to see a bunch of assclowns chanting “we want Florida”. It’s bad enough to make complete fools of themselves, but don’t embarrass the entire franchise with such a ridiculous overreaction.
Don't think we have to worry about anyone getting on the Leafs bandwagon due to playoff success
how many times have we said this
nothing will change, rinse and repeat the mediocrity
How are they gonna rebuild? No first round picks for the next three drafts and limited futures. Can't even tear it down due to all the NMC's anyway, won't be able to add anything significant for a while to bolster the team through trade. If they don't get it done this year it's over and a short/medium term future of mediocrity likely awaits.
If they can't get these guys to move I think they're completely boned until Matthews comes off the books and maybe they're bad enough to bottom out again.
What exactly are you arguing here that they won't make a game 7 ? I doubt they will either but history shows that they normally do. The fact you felt the need to challenge such a small detail though shows you're so frustrated with the teams performance you're not processing correctly.
Are we still learning how to f***ing start on time? HUH?
Agree 100%.
It’s refreshing to finally see a rational and well reasoned comment following a Leafs loss.
The weather is improving which is great, less reason to stay in the house and watch this team
Hopefully it's a great summer and then we get into football. Despite the heartbreaking losses the Bills have had these last few years, Josh Allen is a dawg and I believe in him more than I ever will in these leafs
Berube doesn't know how to get what he needs to win out of this group. He isn't smart and his style suits only a portion of the players. It's a big waste of time. They may as well just fire him and bring in Boudreau or something on an interim basis and see if he can take a middle ground approach.
As a dolphins fan I hate how much I like Josh Allen!
As usual, wasn't until 3rd period until we saw Marner going to the net, crosschecking the opponent... instead of playing 30' from the net.
It's been the typical routine for Marner this year. Soft in the 1st and 2nd then sudden come out in the 3rd and actually be going to the net (albeit reluctantly). The line looks alot more dangerous when he's there too...which is why it's even more frustrating that he goes there so rarely.
He threw a bit of a dirty crosscheck late in the third with the goalie pulled.. think it was Chabot who came looking for him after the whistle for it. How much would it inspire his teammates if he did that more often? Ruffling feathers with the opponent. Sjowing some passion, heart? That is what Gilmour could do. But that was the VERY first borderline dirty crosscheck I've ever seen Marner do.
I absolutely agree with this, we can't move the core so might as well try another coach until we can move them.
His kinda coaching requires players to have pride in themselves and their game
Something these guys don't have.
