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

[BrannigansLaw]

This core is f***ing pathetic. I didn’t watch a minute of that game and I’m glad I didn’t. Every year it’s another choke job. They don’t have it and they never will.

I know we only scored one goal but Jack Campbell sucks. That 2nd goal was typical Campbell garbage. Good thing Dumbass’ prize FA signing was nowhere to be found.

Honestly, who cares anymore. They lose and they always will trying the same crap over and over again. Let them go home and cry. They don’t deserve a lick of sympathy.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

It's for the best y'all. Team culture comes from the top. And our GM is softer than pudding in an August, Tennesse sun.

[WTFMAN99]

Didn't want the loss but I expected it. Not enough changed from last year to this year for me to believe this would go any different.

I'm not gonna shit on the players because I don't think they cheated the fan base on effort but I am gonna look in the direction of Keefe, Dubas & Shanahan now.

Dubas specifically said he was willing to bet his career on the group, well, he lost that bet. Shanahan has just been around too long now and Keefe hasn't won a series.

I don't think JT is the best use of 11M in cap with us already having that amount in our 1C. Game plan always the same vs us which is clog neutral zone, we fail to do anything in opposition zone etc.

The stat geeks here can celebrate the GF % cup but honestly, it's tiring man. I would like to see a series win. Guess we will see over the next 2-6 weeks what will happen.

 

[PromisedLand]

Should we consider trading Auston?? I’m not sure if he has the “it” factor that this team desperately needs to get over the hump. Might be worth to pick up extra assets by blowing this thing up. Let me know what you think

Why are troll posts tolerated on the Leafs board while Leafs fans get infracted anywhere outside of Leaf forum is beyond me

Did NHL take over HF Boards too?

 

[Suntouchable13]

lol at blaming the GM. hes not on the ice. he put together a 115 point team. Its on them to man up and win in the biggest moments.

also this has been happening way before Dubas. He is not even close to the problem.

Sure, but regular season is way different than playoffs and he consistently failed building a team that can win. It's on the players too, but he is not willing to do the difficult things that are needed in order to push this team over the top.

 

[Kurtz]

Kase f***ing sucks. Dude was nowhere to be found. DIdnt make any sort of impact. He played scared the whole series.

He's cooked

He'd be dumb not to retire at this point. Stupid to risk your long-term welfare for a $1m contract.

 

[CaptainCrunch17]

They're not an overwhelming offense first team. They largely played tight hockey with limited chances against, tonight was a good example of it.

You’re right they aren’t.

That’s my point.

But that is what Dubas has strived and continues to strive to build.

Which is why he is literally left attempting to garbage pick players on league minimums to play net and on the third and fourth lines.

The Leafs are an unbalanced team with too much money tied up in their supposed “core” who hasn’t gotten the job done in the playoffs.

Consequently, they can’t afford some of the key pieces they will need to win a cup like a top tier goaltender and a #1 stud defenceman.

Dubas was warned he couldn’t tie up half his cap on four overpaid scoring forwards and be successful, but he thought he knew better.

 

[PromisedLand]

Usually we just shrivel up and disappear in elimination games. Not the case this year. Officiating decides both Game 6 and Game 7. f***ing unbelievable.

The Dubas era has produced about 14 more days of additional hockey compared to Burke, Nonis and JFJ era.

That profit I guess eh?

You gotta stop main lining that copium brah

 

[ITM]

I wanna take over his job, f***ing collect easy money every year! I knew Masai proved himself, did he? f***ing Shanahan

But you're a decent brewery aren'y you, Steam Whistle? Must be collecting a bit of that easy pilsner cheddar, every year as well, no?

 

[MSZ]

He'd be dumb not to retire at this point. Stupid to risk your long-term welfare for a $1m contract.

Agreed. It's not like 1 mil is a lot of money these days.

 

[Suntouchable13]

We need more toughness, sure, but we can't afford to acquire better than Simmonds and Clifford. It all comes back to the cap allocation, it sucks.

 

[OVO16]

Leafs had the least amount of hits in the Playoffs compared to any other team in the 1st rd.

Not that "hitting" was the sole reason we lost....but it just goes to show you that the system aint working

 

[yubbers]

shanahan

He hired a rookie GM that hired his rookie buddy coach while running MLSE.

It's bonkers.

 

[Antropovsky]

yup I'm sure $11m will help wiping away those tears. crybaby.

0 shots in a game 7, over 24 minutes of ice time and over 5 minutes of it on pp time. What a winner....

Call me Marner obsessed but I'd certainly he happy if he made it easier to pick on someone else.

 

[ZEBROA]

Didnt know that Dave was a leaf fan

 

[OVO16]

Exactly. Simmonds and Clifford can go for all i care.

Our top 9 was softer than the turd I took this morning. How is any team supposed to win a playoff round, let alone a stanley cup with that roster

 

[mcleex]

Gutless f***ing team

 

[yubbers]

I guarantee you that will not happen. They will defend him till the end. And if you lose your patience with them they will report your posts for harassments.

LOL

Sounds about right.

Every non-Leaf fan that comes on here I report. Our mods don't really give a shit it seems though.
I just say non-team fan trolling Leafs board.
Trolling other teams boards is more of a loser move than the Leafs in a series clinching game imo.
Mains are fair game of course.

 

[saffronleaf]

all game long, over passing.

 

[yubbers]

Gutless f***ing team

 

[Nineteen67]

I ask again

Someone please tell me we won the advance stats
How's the corsi looking tonight?

Someone please share the numbers or python script

Leafs won 1.86 xGF to 1.74 xGF.

 

[Antropovsky]

all game long, over passing.

And over skating.... others on the team were also guilty of it too. Skating....skating ... skating... and then shooting when there they ran out of room and had no shot.

 

[Kurtz]

We need more toughness, sure, but we can't afford to acquire better than Simmonds and Clifford. It all comes back to the cap allocation, it sucks.

It can be done. You can trade firsts for guys like Goodrow and Coleman to give you 2 years on nothing deals.

Just gotta be smart with it and not trade those picks for washed up ufas like Foligno.
