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

[Nineteen67]

William Nylander pulled up in the corner with less than 4 mins left, down a goal in game 7. How can that be?

He had chances throughout the series to lay out D men and refused He takes up too much of the cap to not play a complete playoff game.

 

[Stamkos4life]

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

You are Pejorative Slured

Basically this.

But the dubas fan boys are now in hiding for the next ~2 months. Then they will come out of the woods to once again tell us how amazing dubas is.

We've seen this act for 3 years now.

Please mlse, fire dubas.

 

[brock hughes007]

you have to much cap,with JT,,Matthews,Nylander,Mariner,,,I'd move 2 of them,,,just saying

 

[pcruz]

I felt Matthews was an almost no show on the offensive side. Not impactful.

Never again will I ever think he is better than McDavid in any way. McDavid is the same player in the playoffs, Matthews is a ghost.

You're delusional if you didn't notice him all over the puck all night.
He created a bunch of chances, got robbed at least once, had an assist, was physical.
The first line was great.
The 2nd line was terrible.
The 3rd line was a liability.
The 4th line should have moved up 2 lines.

Engvall, Mikheyev, Kerfoot, were horrendous.

 

[Srsly]

Please trade nylander or marner

Do it for a f***ing 7th round pick

Marner was fine. It’s not his fault the puck kept dying on Buntings stick and Austin started tripping over his own feet due to the intense pressure he felt.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

F U Fridge & Rudy, THERE HAS TO BE MAMANGEMNET CHANGES THIS YEAR. F U

 

[Raym11]

No, we need to dump one. No reason to spend that kind of money on offence that can NOT get past the first round.

Nylander or Marner for a competent D-Man next year, and no more hoping from goalies, get a proper one.

Hint: it won't be Marner

 

[Crispy Crust]

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.

That's six consecutive first round eliminations. We don't want to hear the excuses.

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

Look yall, much love, sorry for the loss.. least you have not hit Chi Town 100 year losing streak yet.

Leafs losing feels these many series clinching games is worse and hurts more.

 

[Apex Predator]

Leafs need to find a goalie. I like Campbell but we need a goalie that can close. Vasy was locked in.

 

[Antropovsky]

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.

Yep.. another first round lost and another season of not developing the young talent. Meanwhile Foote played the entire round.

 

[IPS]

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

That'll probably be the most painful thing of all.

You cannot - i repeat - CANNOT overreact to a series like this. They did everything right and should have wrapped it in 6. But the league had other plans.

 

[Gallagbi]

Yep... can't let the Kerry Fraser factor be a reason we lose every year. Team is built on a very specific vision that has to win a certain way. And it doesn't work.

I don't think there's a year where I've been less concerned about team build. I'm going to give it some thought the next couple of days (let's be honest, months) but outside tweaking the third line nothing jumps to mind

 

[robertmac43]

Please trade nylander or marner

Do it for a f***ing 7th round pick

Marner looked great. Be better here, come up with something better.

 

[ToneDog]

I don’t think a team losing 6 in a row has the same management. I guess we will see.

Can't wait for the press conference. Wonder what Simmons asks?

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

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.

Don't forget with his 42 inch long white gold chain necklace hanging out of his jersey like he is at a Drake concert

 

[authentic]

Yawn

 

[Nylander88]

Don't know what to say. So used to this, yet it's never easier

 

[KobeBean143]

Tweaks Elliotte


We lost 6 straight times in the first f***ing round you fat Pejorative Slur

 

[BayStBullies]

Take care everyone, time for me to hibernate, as the annual fire begins here. I think changes are needed; but, I think for the first time in awhile, there are positive elements we see onward into next year.

I shit on Keefe the entire year. My thoughts there are known.

 

[ruaware41]

The world is corrupt and the fantasies we have about things are utterly nonsense and our delusions. Game 6 was Toronto’s. This game should have never happened

 

[The Kessel Run]

William Nylander pulled up in the corner with less than 4 mins left, down a goal in game 7. How can that be?

He had chances throughout the series to lay out D men and refused He takes up too much of the cap to not play a complete playoff game.

That’s his DNA. It will never change. For all his qualities, he will never shed that part of his game.

 

[Teeder Keon]

They can do whatever they want with this f***ing team, I'm done

 

[killer1980]

Not too tough to predict. Fire the entire management team.

 

[Strangle]

Put up a great fight against the champs but damn, you had them down and didn't take the opportunity.

The loss would be acceptable on its own but combined with past years' stories, it just isn't.

But that’s the thing ….. they aren’t able to take the opportunity. They can get to the door, just can’t walk through it.
