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

[Stephen]

I’m not even upset , saw this coming a mile away. Enjoy the team for what they are, regular season only

It looks like they built a 2000s Ottawa Senators, 2000-2010s San Jose Sharks. If they want to aspire for more the recipe will probably have to change quite a bit.

 

[The Kessel Run]

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

Kind of feels like we’ll start going in the other direction now.

 

[Evilsports]

Tough pill to swallow for Leaf fans. In your teams defence you were up against a hot goalie in a hot division in a hot conference. As an Oilers fan I know that this is little to no consolation.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Can we start a Holl Appreciation Thread

 

[LadyLala]

There better be major changes and heads rolling or I really won’t be wasting my time any longer. It’s insanity to keep investing time and energy into these losers.

 

[Racer88]

Bunch of losers make it 6 in a row and now 19 years since the last first round win.
this style of build by Dubas has proven to be a 6 time loser. The sad part is I’m betting they will run the same pile of crap again next year.
what a discrace

 

[Raym11]

Disagree.

They played fine.

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

There's some seriously bizarre takes here about Matthews etc going on. He was active all game.

 

[Daisy Jane]

well this is my perspective. - while we lost, and it sucked (again) - in my opinion this series wasn't like the other losses. We weren't up, and then - just didn't show up or anything like that. both teams had 2 really cruddy games, and both teams put on a clinic. in the last 3 games, the leafs IMO were the better team.

I'm not going to scream and curse out a mistake made here or there that lead to a goal, because those happen and it didn't happen constantly. (in my opinion). at worst this game should be going into overtime. at worst.

at the same time I feel you do have to make some changes. and I dunno what those changes are. I've been sick for 2+ years and haven't been following hockey so i dunno the movers and shakers or anything like that.


that disallowed goal was a complete and utter joke and if it were reversed I'd be saying the same thing. I'm not going to be all conspiracy theory - but I fully believe the NHL needs to legit start making reports and being accountable for the reffing decisions, because it was grody. (not just for us. league wide).

i 'm probably not going to watch next season - but i'll see you guys if we make the playoffs

 

[Mr Papagoergyo]

Why?

 

[Phil Parent]

Bad.

 

[GoonieFace]

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

Have you posted the same thing for the past 7 years?

 

[Aashir]

6 straight first round exits just isn't acceptable by any stretch of the imagination. I do expect we'll see some major changes and it's completely necessary at this point

No offence….but you might have to change your username

 

[Strangle]

Well, letting game 6 get away (again) and putting it all in a game 7 where we know anything can happen was the turning point.

I just don’t know where to go from here. The guys can’t win

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

If Kerfoot plays another game for the Leafs, they should all be fired. Game 6 we had it and he did his best to f*** it up for us.

Proud of most of the team, especially Matthews Marner Tavares and Rielly. They were beaten by a savvy team, but we had them on the ropes in Game 6. Thanks Kerfoot you dumb f***.

Kerfoot can stay if Engvall is given a 4th chance in playoffs I give up on Dubas

 

[TheGreatOne11]

All you dubas fans
All you core 4 fans
All of you campbell fans

You are Pejorative Slured

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

Regardless, f*ck this losing shit.

Sick of it, AND I'M ALLOWED TO BE SICK OF IT.

All of you are, no excuses, NO EXCUSES. We didn't win.

We didn't f*cking win. Be pissed. I am. Call for throwing it all away. This hasn't worked, not once, in 6 years.

Always coming up short? Hell everybody is going to be paid more soon, this was the team for this iteration of it and it FAILED.

Causation and correlation? Well you know what. Its about time its true for us.

Im sorry Leaf fans that are in pain right now, i truly am. I feel your heart, your soul.

But there's only so much time of "there's always next year"

And I'm sick of it. I'm SICK OF IT.

Be angry, don't listen to the complacency and excuses that are going to be said by "the level headed".

Its a joke, actions matter. No F this crap.

Always an excuse. Always.

 

[NMacrules]

Dangle will be mid through an aneurysm right now.

 

[Stephen]

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.

Nah, that ain't it. The officiating cost us but I didn't see them have the ability to play their A+ game when it really mattered.

 

[DueDiligence]

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???

Doesn't matter. Leafs came back tied the game and should have taken over the game.

 

[Leafsfan74]

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 3-6.

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.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Even when we're the better team, we lose.

 

[Kiwi]

I believed in them
My mistake, it'll never happen again

Also enough of the cursed bull****, they aren't good enough, full stop

You don't do this 6 years in a row because you're cursed, no you're mentally weak

 

[makbeer]

Lost on coaching and sub .900 goaltending.

Holl playing over Lilly and being scared to go back to Clifford may have Decided the series it was that close.

 

[Antropovsky]

Marner was Robin all post season long again. It's scary to think how much worse he'd look with an average centerman. The only guaranteed thing about his postseason is the patented take mouth guard out, let your body go limp and look to the sky as if the your the most cursed person in the world.

 

[CaptainCrunch17]

Cue the Dekes for Dubas post explaining to us with advanced statistics and spreadsheets how Dubas is an immortal genius for getting us to a game 7 exit in the first round.

 

[Enniskillen]

How to avoid disappointment in playoffs? Miss them next year)
