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

[Matty Sundin]

I’m not even mad. I’m sure some are you gonna be negative and all and I get it but that was actually a good effort. We just ended up playing a mammoth in the 1st round and still gave them everything they can handle

 

[Advanced stats]

Spezza bawling

 

[Voodoo Child]

Matthews is Matthews.

JT is untradable.

Mitch had a great series and earned a scrutiny-free year.

…

Did Willy play tonight? I can’t tell.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Weird game in some ways. The leafs struggled to do much after Tampa opened the scoring. In other ways it is a standard game seven from this core. They wilted.

 

[Optimist]

This team can just f*** right off. Not only did they stick a dagger deep into my heart once again, they gave it a little twist at the end. So go have fun with your $million per month pay checks this summer boys.

 

[pcruz]

Send Nylander to the moon.
Kerfoot and Engvall too.

They had 1 shift of urgency this whole game.

It's f***ing gross.

Someone rail on the refs.
f*** them as well.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Spezza crying off the ice, likely his last game, deserved better

 

[fahad203]

Greatest coach ever

 

[TMLegend]

Not really mad. Thought they played quite well actually. Still the same old story though, can't score when the chips are down.

Not sure what the future holds. I'd like to see some management changes or at the very least a change in philosophy and/or roster construction. I have my doubts anything significant will change though.

 

[notbias]

New coach new gm

Nylander traded

Expect Matthews to go too when our team gets worse

 

[Confucius]

Close game we gave it a great shot. We are a good team hopefully we are all back at it next year. Someday we will break through. Time to think about fishing. LOL! See you in September.

 

[Aashir]

they deserved to win

Boohoo they didnt

 

[wingman75]

Well, that opens up my summer.

I am going to be on a very beachy island during the cup finals, and here I had it in the back of my head that might matter. Ha ha I am such a loser!

 

[MSZ]

Remember when Matthews was a Leaf and he scored 60 goals in 2022?

No. The only thing people are going to remember is 6 years in a row. 0-10 in series clinching games since 2004.

 

[yubbers]

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.

 

[BeLeafing]

I believe in this team. Bring the group back.

They have it in them.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

We are all cheering for Florida.

 

[ToneDog]

JT scores his best goal of the season and it is called off and we get a penalty instead. Who is writing these fricken scripts???

 

[Gabriel426]

It is disappointed but I won’t say the guys didn’t played with urgency or heart.
They played a great game, they didn’t get out goalied. The boys didn’t get the bounce and the refs didn’t help.

 

[Gallagbi]

Combination of bad luck, bad reffing, and a core that just can quite get it done.

Gotta say I feel for the core here tonight a huge goal called back in a tight game and all of them produced

 

[scotian1]

Sadly I have come to the conclusion they are not going to win again in my lifetime. At least I have memories of the sixties. I wish I had appreciated those more at the time.

 

[Sypher04]

Unlike previous series losses, we were the better team. Played well. Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m peacing out for a while because I’m frankly completely uninterested in all the absolute garbage overreaction takes that are about to come here. See you all later

 

[Stu]

Disagree.

They played fine.

Got beat by a really good team and some questionable reffing. I'm not even angry, really.

They did not play fine and the reffing was questionable for both teams. Ultimately you still have to put the puck in the net. Systemically this was the worst Leafs game I've seen in some time.

 

[Magic Man]

I for one am completely shocked they lost.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

I guess it's fitting we don't advance because the D fished for pucks. It's always something that is pointed out mid-season as an issue that ends up killing us.

Rielly and Brodie just pathetic on those goals.
