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

[LadyLala]

That’s our boys, making history!

 

[Eternal Leaf]

This guy is talking like they just lost in the Stanley Cup finals.

Respect for a first-round exit. Pure comedy.

 

[Antropovsky]

I really like the players comments so far. Unlike the past, where they think it was bad luck and they played great but unlucky.
This series is the playoffs experiences that they needed

I mean.... this is their 6th first round loss, gotta call a spade a spade.

 

[Racer88]

Kampf had a good series but their bottom 6 were so much better than ours. Those are the types of players we are missing IMO.

Yup and unfortunately types of players we can’t afford

 

[Just Rude]

This fanbase would run Wilson outta town. They hate tough players.

More Alex Kerfoot's please.

Yeah, Clark, Roberts, Gilmour and Tucker are hated to this day.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Hahaha yay!! We got respect from them!

They were containing their laughter until they made their way to the visitors dressing room.

 

[Aashir]

Oh shut the f*** up and pack your bags Sheldon

 

[ruaware41]

playoffs in pro sports is all about defence and compete moreso than offence

we need better goaltending and defence

The positive side:
2019 - lost by 4
2020 - lost by 3
2021 - lost by 2
2022 - lost by 1
2023 - ????????
2024 -

Who can solve the puzzle. See guys we’re getting better every year. That’s what we call consistent progress.

 

[JKG33]

As a Cowboys fan... yup sounds about right.

Most valuable franchise. Biggest fanbase. Blue and white (silver). Can't win shit all.

 

[MSZ]

I believe we are now the longest streak of not making the 2nd round. Florida used to hold that record if am not mistaken
Add that to the list

Active streak yes at 19 years.

Florida still holds the record at 26 years. Arizona/Winnipeg was 23 IIRC.

 

[PromisedLand]

time to blow it up...6 times in a row

Well, where to from here

Ideally they trade all of Matthews, Marner and Nylander to get a kings ransom and then tank hard. Under Dubas era it seems like the worst case scenario where.... leafs don't even win a round and both nylander and matthews walk as a UFA.

Don't tell me they won't. Tavares did so can all of Matthews, Marner and Nylander. With Tavares' 11 AAV not going anywhere this team aint gonna get any better unless

- matthews, marner and nylander become the best players on the planet willing the team to wins (not gonna happen; 6 years worth of sample we have)

OR

- Leafs luck out where their 3rd or 4th round picks turn out to be zetterbergs, datsyuks, point, etc.... (don't see anybody in the system with that kinda upside)

Dubas' cap structure is such a massive failure there is just no other way but to rebuild or luck out with draft picks

 

[ToneDog]

Did they play lmao?

We played Kase over both and he was 9 packs of ass. Why? Oh because he's soft and more skill!!

Forget Simmonds and Clifford. Our top 9 is the softest shit i've ever seen

Can't believe some arguing that we could match their grit/heavy forwards.

 

[Stephen]

Lmao, high fives all around guys people are respecting us a bit more now!!!!

Were the Leafs getting clowned by Columbus and Montreal in previous handshakes?

 

[LastOne2100]

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

No harm done . Enjoy your rye - much deserved after tonight .

 

[Strangle]

If they couldn’t handle Babcock they definitely can’t handle Trotz.

Then they can play for another team

 

[Buds17]

I've seen them win the Super Bowl (and I'm a 49ers fan).

 

[BigGulpsEh]

As the failures pile up it stings less

We all expected this outcome. Its what the leafs do

 

[ECanuck]

The positive side:
2019 - lost by 4
2020 - lost by 3
2021 - lost by 2
2022 - lost by 1
2023 - ????????
2024 -

Who can solve the puzzle. See guys we’re getting better every year. That’s what we call consistent progress.

2023 - lost in overtime
2024 - lost in double overtime

[Aashir]

Keefes talking like we are some rookie team that just made the playoffs for the first time

Not some band of chokers trying to shed that label

 

[Arthur Morgan]

The positive side:
2019 - lost by 4
2020 - lost by 3
2021 - lost by 2
2022 - lost by 1
2023 - ????????
2024 -

I dont know if I wanna laugh or cry lol

 

[steam whistle]

Oh shut the f*** up and pack your bags Sheldon

f*** you, keef. You are clearly a f***ing loser.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

the outcome of a hockey game is basically random. I wouldn't get too worked up about winning and losing. You have a fun team to watch; just enjoy it imo

 

[Anthrax442]

We should have signed Perry

Yeah this one went down easier than the last few.

Every year I grow a bit more numb.
