Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2

If Matthews wasn’t injured we’d be a completely different team it’s just the reality we usually have 2 game breakers and 2 power forwards with 2 playmakers and 2 solid pairs with 2 goalies Matthews being injured throws things off
Add 30 goals from Matthews and they’re a different team but they still lose in the first round because they can’t score more than two goals in the playoffs.

There's so much wrong.

Berube has no offensive system. There has to be a way to play strong defensively without neutering everything offensively.

Marner is horrible. Nylander is probably one of the worst perpetrators of ineffective powerplay play on this team. There's no attack, no speed, just slow and lazy telegraphed passes.

Matthews can't skate or shoot, he should be sitting until the playoffs even if we end up in a wild card. Rielly is somehow close to being our worst D. We have no futures so we'll be stuck in mediocrity for another decade after this Era fails.
 
I’ve always felt it was his back and that the only chance to fix it was with surgery but that would have meant a lost season this year.

When he went to Germany it was obvious that surgery wasn’t on the table as an option so it will be interesting to see what he and has camp plan on doing this summer to fix the issue.
To me it looks like he’s got a hand or wrist injury too. He’s mishandling the puck and couldn’t even keep his upper hand on the stick in front of the net in the last few minutes. His shot is garbage now too.

You talk like this is a one off
We luckily won 1 playoff series on how many decades???
Thai happens every year
Same players and fans are overreacting

Out biggest problem is the fan base is too supportive of failure!!!

Watch what happens in the playoffs, my friend.

Everyone proclaiming “the season is over, it’s hopeless” in this thread will be the exact same ones in the playoffs exulting how “we” took out Tampa and how this is “our” year.

I’ve never see such a manic depressive fan base as the Leafs fan base. From the highest of highs to the depths of despair, and then repeat.

When he said it's up to the room to decide. It's essentially saying I can't get them going by default. Coach is there to get them going and keep them playing the right way.

Look the only internal competition going on in that room is who can get paid the most.

Matthews looks as excited to be here as a hostage is to be in the presence of his captor.

Marner is not wanted on the team right now. They asked him to waive and he bullied his way by refusing. That's gotta be an issue and everyone knows.

I think it would be different but ultimately I’m going off what I think and your going off of what we know

Laughton sucks man. Straight up. Fringe 4th liner.

He should be bought out. Kampf is a more effective player. I know what this org is going to do, because they spent so much on Laughton they will force feed him throughout the line up to no avail. He should be in the press box or in the minors, or better yet back in Philly.

Well if your a leafs fan then you know
When a fanbase is completely traumatized it’s not easy
We have just seen this too many times!! Regularly
 
He wasn’t awful but I think he would be better with Willy his line mates are slow a lot of times Hes the only one in the play they can’t keep up
Nah, he was awful, especially defensively.

Really struggled to exit the zone, lost a ton of board battles, couldn't read the situation.

That's a little unusual for him, but I can see why he didn't play alot, especially when Domi was going decently

Just fire Berube and bring Boudreau in the interim.
