Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose in Game 7. Again.

[Racer88]

I don't those anyone should be traded or fired, was a historic regular season and a very good playoff series. I'd like to see what they can do with another year of experience and some tinkering.

They have been together 6 years of failure already and they still haven’t learn the level of compete that Tampa had. This core is defective

 

[saffronleaf]

six straight first round exits. five straight game 7 losses (one was game 5 but that was a 5 games series).

 

[The Kessel Run]

Nah, we'll probably trade Nylander and Reilly and retool around the others, and we'll lose again in the first round to questionable reffing and then it'll be "Is Marner or Matthews the problem?"

Then we'll end up with nothing but the corpse of John Tavares, and maybe tank for another superstar, not get it or get it and lose in the first round again due to questionable reffing and it'll be that player's fault.

Sorry that’s what I meant. Although even more doom and gloom than you lol

 

[Aashir]

Marner was fine. It’s not his fault the puck kept dying on Buntings stick and Austin started tripping over his own feet due to the intense pressure he felt.

I don’t care if he was fine or not

Neither he willy Auston or Tavares were enough o win

They can go if the pieces return

 

[jgs]

Fire Keefe for keeping Holl in over Lily and get Trotz. I guess for that to happen Dubas needs to go first.

If the Leafs bring in Trotz, they will need to understand that Trotz is in charge and not the players. Trotz's very hard on discipline hockey and it doesn't matter who. Trotz will light Matthews, Marner Travares anyone who is not playing right and very hard every shift. Leafs players have been coudled like don't say anything negative that will hurt there feelings.

 

[Tak7]

They were a beatable team.

Save your morale victories.

Unacceptable & gutless. And the fans are the ones left to wear it again.

 

[OVO16]

Outside of game 1.....Tampa players just wanted it more. You can see the level of aggression and fierceness from the players.

From the 1st line all the way to the 4th line. The way they stick up for each other. The way they're team was foreechecking with force and taking away space.

Nick Paul just bullying his way through our soft defense and getting the 2nd goal just sums up that this team will always be buttercup soft

 

[Sentinel]

TBH Leafs shouldn't be ashamed. They lost to a defending two-time champs still in their prime.

 

[michi510]

tbh, after last years colossal collapse, I don’t feel much anymore. after so many years it came to a point where it doesn’t matter

 

[mcleafs]

Can't wait to see them trade away our good players for plugs and see our guys win cups for other teams.

10 chances to win a series in 5 years. 0-10.

3 total goals scored in the last 4 Game 7s.

0 goals from Matthews in a Game 7. Ever.

Entered the 3rd period trailing in the last 4 final elimination games.

What good players? When are they good?

 

[Lightsol]

Campbell really? Score more than one f*cking goal.

They DID score more than one goal. NHL just decided the first one didn't count.

 

[ToMaLe]

Babcock kept playing Marincin in the playoffs and it cost us, Keefe kept playing Holl and cost us. Just fire his ass. So sick of this garbage coaching year after year.

 

[Dragao6]

No bro
Keefe should have stacked the lines
We had 4 pp

Stop blaming NHL

Bud there was only a game 7 because of the fake 5 on 3 Tampa had in game 6
Game and series was over

Game 7 clear interference on tampas goal no call
Interference on torontos goal

Then clear trip on nylander to give us a 5 on 3 but not for the leafs no

We should have done better but we did enough

 

[notbias]

Can't wait for someone clueless mouth breather in the media to start shouting that Nylander needs to be traded for 2 4th liners and a 6th dman

Some mouth breathers here have already started

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Vasilevski didn't have to deal with one tough circumstance.
No player was taken down while attacking the net and fell into Vaselevski...all series!
They need a power forward who will crash the net.
Nylander is the obvious odd man out, great player but not what the Leafs need.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Last year was a 3-1 blown lead. Cmon facts matter.

Ok, which is worse.

 

[yubbers]

Like the Boston series, another "interesting one" for the Leafs. The usual corporate Yes Men on Sportsnet (we know who they are), pretend the series has been fair and on the level. MLSE sits silent, not wanting to rock the boat of their earnings.

They will probably can Dubas and Shanny. They were victims of covid and The Fix in three series. In the end, the big contracts cost them. In the end, they need to fire people to give the appearance they actually care. They don't, the seats will remain filled.

The NHL won't get a nickel from me. Sportsnet won't have an advertiser in my focus. Their betting sites, will take a bath along with the $5.2B Sportsnet flushed down the can.

See you all next playoffs. I am out for awhile. I have been gaslit this series like never before in 40 years of watching this game.

It's clearly not the same, and I'm only glad I didn't watch the repeated fiascos in games 2-6.

Hrudey not believing the "bad calls" happened in Game Six. No discussion of 8 PPs, four 5 on 3s or the called back goal. LOL.

Damn Leafanons
SMH

 

[Raym11]

I dont care what Keefe's record is in the regular season, this team needs Nylander trade + Barry Trotz at the minimum, and send it one last time. Then blow it all up

Fire Dubas before of course

 

[killer1980]

Who picked Nick Paul to be the Leaf killer in game 7 of a playoff game?

I picked the Leafs to be the Leaf killer.

 

[Leaffan1991]

We can't keep accepting first round defeat. As fans we should demand changes.
I hope the clean house(shanny, dubas, Keefe, Briere etc)
Need a starting goaltender
Trade Willy Kerfoot Holl Mrazek.
Get some Damn balls on this team that can actually play.

 

[TMLeafer]

It's going to be a long 11.5 months,.

 

[Havoc]

There really wasn't any chances if you look at it. They completely shut us down for the entire game. It's the same thing over and over again with these guys.

Well these 3 I pointed out actually happened though. At least one should have been in the net in a game 7. No urgency to score on the first 2, and too urgent on the third one. Rielly didn't even see Nylander standing there uncovered for the easy 2-2 pass.

*all 3 happened in the 3rd period. Shame it wasn't tied.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

I've seen marner say 'let's go' with one minute left in the game. Lol

 

[IPS]

They'll clean house. Retool. Well buy jerseys, tickets, etc.
Another desperate American city will win a cup.
Gary will put a team in Louisiana and Missouri.
We'll support said team while getting completely f***ed by Gary and his friends.
Our management and players will continue to no comment their way to nothingness.

I honestly just have nothing left. I actually miss being shitty and having no hope.
At this point I hope not a single one comes back. Not one of them. It's not even pain anymore it's just annoyance. I just despise the lot, the league, a good portion of our fanbase who will now spend the summer telling us how stupid we are for supporting the team and honestly being right about it.
They will never give us a fighting chance. Never. So have fun Gary. Have fun Troll nation. I'm out.

Goodbye good sir.

 

[Apex Predator]

I thought overall Matthews, Tavares, Marner and Nylander played good in the series. Tampa was just better. They need to get a goalie but with the way the cap money is allocated we are always going to be stuck with average.

I think some people might not like this but I’m good with moving on from Speeza.
