Confirmed with Link: Locker Room Exit Interviews Monday May 6 (Players and Keefe) + Pelley/Shanny/Tre on Friday VIDEO LINK PG 57

[Punch Drunk Loov]

If any of these guys had the will that Frodo or Sam have, then they would have more than 1 round to their name.

Tavares - Gandalf
Willy - Legolas
Auston - Aragorn
Best we have so far

 

[Stephen]

Willie looks sad. I actually feel bad for him.

He came across as the most real. His emotions suggest there’s fire to work with and build on.

 

[Rare Jewel]

It's closer to Game of Thrones.

Or Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

 

[KaN19]

Oh no, they're sad, quick give everyone 8-year extensions with full no moves!

 

[Tak7]

No, he didn't blow it. He let in one goal in 60 minutes in game 7 in Bruins barn. And that wasn't great enough? You all demand he get a shoutout or he's a bum. lol. He's fine. It's the POS Core Five.

Let's put this to bed - the man himself said he blew it. He said himself that it wasn't the powerplay or lack of goals that cost them the series, but his play.

Plenty of blame and factors to go around. Samsonov was one of them.

Keefe is next, I think. Simmons should have a field day. Probably end up getting tossed.

Have you not watched any of the interviews so far?

This is the softest set of softballs I've ever seen lobbed gently at these players. Disappointed in the media today.

 

[Stephen]

Exactly lol, so why you blaming the players when the reporters are asking that question? They are just answering a question they were asked

I’m just saying it’s not a relevant interview topic and no one’s hear to listen to that.

 

[joepeps]

where can you even watch it? I can't find it ne where?

I’m listening on 1050am

Samsonov is just holding himself accountable for his bit. The 1-1 was a backbreaker and the 2-1 goal made it official. How refreshing would it have been if one of the stars had pulled a Mackinnon and said “I needed to score there, I haven’t won anything in this league” Instead of talking about how generally hard it is.

[Shak19]

I expect Keefe to be fired prior to the execs presser on Thursday

Tavares - Gandalf
Willy - Legolas

Mitch - Gollum

little, starts off as a useful member of the team, is vouched for by the hobbits, then ultimately betrays them. Sounds like mitch

THe closest we got was Nylander.

Everyone else seemed so pre-rehearsed.

"Here's what you say about the continued failure. Here's what you say about the Marner criticism. Here's what you say about playing together with the core".

 

[Suntouchable13]

I’m just saying it’s not a relevant interview topic and no one’s hear to listen to that.

I agree. Kyle and DeMar were the best of friends. So what? Sometimes you don't win with your friends.

 

[Stephen]

I was on the verge of tears watching Morgan play in OT. It is what it is. Someone needs to be held accountable and Morgan is on the list.

 

[Just Rude]

100% agree. I mentioned that exact thing in my post above. Softball questions, all of them.

That's what I mean about Simmons when Keefe takes the stand. He is a douche, but at least he asks the tough questions.

 

[Nineteen67]

That was another easy peasy locker clean out day. Is there a softer media corp in any sport than those that follow the Leafs?

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Is Marner indirectly saying he can't handle the pressure of Toronto.

Matthews and Nylander eat up their God status without a care in the world. They love it.

 

[JSn0w93]

I expect Keefe to be fired prior to the execs presser on Thursday

This, to be honest I cannot wait for him to be fired, but to have to get paraded out in front of the media and then get canned is a little cruel, could do without this. At least the media are throwing it right down the middle today thus far haha

 

[joepeps]

I agree. Kyle and DeMar were the best of friends. So what? Sometimes you don't win with your friends.

this is the issue... the captain and alternates need to come out and say, its unacceptable I need to be better, we need to be better.

Why is it always Sammy or Willy saying it?

 

[Rare Jewel]

Tavares - Gandalf
Willy - Legolas
Auston - Aragorn

But who is taking the ring to Mordor?

There's the issue. Elrond is an awful GM for not addressing this.

 

[Tak7]

Absolutely beside myself that someone wasted a question on asking Matthews his thoughts on the Coyotes.

Toronto media is so hard to play in front of, some say.

 

[ryno23]

its as simple as this. Add in Sv% and you can plainly see why the Leafs are where they are today

 

[hamzarocks]

If tavares and marner get extended that is the epitomy of insanity
