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

[egd27]

They lost about 26 pts to the bottom feeders this season. If they got half of those pts they would have been the #1 seed and face Washington instead of Tampa.

and lost in Game 7 to Ovie

Objectively wrong.

Ok…but using the word objectively doesn’t mean your opinion is correct

 

[GoonieFace]

No one is saying it needs to be the same group - but blowing it up entirely just to do something is nuts and won't happen.

The only way it can’t be the same group is to blow it up, or we just gonna exchange Spezza for some other turd

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

I’m probably not going to stop watching but I’m 100% only pirating streams next year and won’t be paying for nhl centre ice or online package

Pirating ftw! Been doing it for almost a decade. Money well saved.

 

[Suntouchable13]

It was good, it wasn't good enough..........the last 4 playoffs/playins they haven't been good enough and have been beaten the same way.

They need a new approach.....I don't mean scorched earth, but they need a new coach and a new style that can win when it's for all the marbles.

0-9 (?) in games where they could end a series........it's not a coincidence or just bad luck. It's a fatal flaw that needs to be corrected

0-10, I think, but who's keeping track?

 

[ShaneFalco]

Super helpful post. Which part do you disagree with?

Sorry dude I didn't mean to quote your post. I blame rye

I’m now convinced Dubas is using Google Sheets instead of Excel.

Nah he’s a Lotus man

and lost in Game 7 to Ovie

Hey a hatty in game 7 from ovi would be a site to see though

 

[Throw More Waffles]

As fans we're f***ING humiliated. We're the joke of the entire league.

So why don't the players care that they're such f***ing jokes? Is it because they really only cared about the money?

I'm so over these f***s. They're spoiled entitled assholes.

They don't care. They don't CARE!!!!

 

[PromisedLand]

When does Shanahan, the architect of this "masterpiece" get some blame? He signed off on this shit show??

I cut Shanahan some slack because if not for him we would not have gone scorched earth and we would not have had Lou/Babcock combo. That is a rare combo for a franchise to have. HOF GM and Coach.

But yes. Shanahan also gets the blame for this shitshow

I’m now convinced Dubas is using Google Sheets instead of Excel.

I heard he upgraded to Alteryx initially but lost his subscription half way through the year

 

[Lightsol]

I'd classify the Sundin trade as trying to get them over the hump

Yeah, but I'm referring to moves like getting Kirk Muller and Schneider, and getting the washed up corpse of Dave Gagner, and stuff like that, while Fletcher was talking about how "these vets are key to winning a playoff series, because they have experience", only to watch the team lose two straight first round matchups with the aging St. Louis Blues and then falling apart. Not only did they massively shorten their window with those dumb moves, but they also hemorrhaged draft picks and young players to do it.

who is going to find and post the first pic on Instagram of the boys water skiing at the cottage tomorrow?

Lobster and champagne at Tavares’s crib tomorrow afternoon

 

[fahad203]

Remember when people here said Kerfoot was a better hockey player than Kadri. Good times.

But but Kadri wouldn't make it in the playoffs. He would get suspended
Except for he didn't. Somehow his team swept Nashville

He also 2 years ago had 18 points in playoffs . He had 9 goals in playoffs in 15 games
Kerfoot had 9 goals in 65 games

 

[OVO16]

Remember when people here said Kerfoot was a better hockey player than Kadri. Good times.

Lol Dude im sure there are people who still think that.

Can't have too much of his "Defensive" awareness rofl

 

[Pantokrator]

I feel though this Leafs team didn't "choke" like previous ones. They played well tonight. Losing to TB in 7 is not as bad as any of the previous losses. I would give it one more go and try to get over the hump next year before considering blowing it up.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Knowing Dubas he would give the entire cap savings to Jack Campbell this team is so frustrating no alfa males any where at all

they trade away the alphas, or sit them.

 

[ruaware41]

Objectively wrong.

would be nice if we could put said black object into another larger object more times than the other team

 

[OVO16]

Buttercup soft.

Kerfoot. Kase. Engvall. Mikhyevev.

Marshmellow soft

 

[Sypher04]

Ok…but using the word objectively doesn’t mean your opinion is correct

Maybe not in every instance, but in this one it surely is. The core won their matchups.

We needed more from the depth

 

[Cleetus]

Lobster and champagne at Tavares’s crib tomorrow afternoon

talk about what went wrong lol

 

[Aashir]

Who gives a shit

Cry all you want you still lost and have done so for 5 years….nothing has changed from day one of the Matthews era to now

We still can’t close series out
We can’t hold leafs
We can’t completely come back

So spare me the sappy tears

 

[Suntouchable13]

So who goes Nylander? How do you replace his output? Trade Marner? How do you replace a top 10 guy in the NHL.

Your only option is to tinker with edges and hopefully you find the right combo or the cap goes up

Who cares what they are in the regular season? Clearly regular season is meaningless. Give me someone who can win in the playoffs. 115 points, home ice advantage, all for naught.

 

[Kurtz]

Illya Mikaheyev
19 playoff games. 2 goals 2 assists. Both of those goals came in the same game
Only because Engvall felt so bad for him and passed it to Mika

Really dont' know why Leafs nation loves this guy so much.

Kampf, same thing. Where was he tonight? or game 6? He should be the 4th liner

Engvall sucked too

Our 3rd line was the difference

and F U Keefe for not stacking the line. Having a love affair with Bunting

Kampf is the shutdown C, used against the other team's top forwards. He did his job well this series.

Mickey was a letdown though, no debate.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

At what point is this not "bad luck"? At what point is it a character problem with our core players? I asked that THREE YEARS AGO and was mocked. But now we're at six f***ing years. At what point is it THEM? Our core players. They don't care. They just cash cheques.
