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

He was just trying to express how deeply the fans care about the Leafs, in some sort of context of understanding the privilege that it is being a Leaf. Just said it badly.

Dudes got an ego. Are we sure that's what he meant?

He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

the difference with Vegas is they have large puck moving defensemen on every pair. none of our guys move the puck well or score then we wonder why our offense dries up in the playoffs

I thought Benoit and McCabe were fine moving the puck this series.

They rewarded players before they earned success. Now it is clean up time (we hope), though I've thought this for three years.

If they all come back I'm turning into a Montreal Canadians fan.

He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

even if he meant it genuinely (which I think he did) the guy didnt talk after game 7 loss and he's an AC. He deserves to get that removed and booted

Before Dubas left he probably told Keefe that if things don't work out in Toronto that he'd love to have him (coaching) in Pittsburgh. Might explain why Sullivan hasn't been fired yet...keeping him around until Keefe might be available.

You can bet he's going to be a Penguin
They too need a coach and Dubas relationship with Keefe is a strong appeal for the Pens

They would have fired Sullivan long time ago. They want to make sure they had the replacement confirmed

If they come back, I'm becoming a shaolin monk

That's right. That's all that's stopping me from being a shaolin monk.

So whats the excuse for us having such a pathetic powerplay in the playoffs?

Since Keefe has been in charge, our powerplay in the playoffs sits at like 15% while other teams like EDM, COL, BOS are anywhere from 28 to 34%.

Marner the God………….OMG

That's right. That's all that's stopping me from being a shaolin monk.

If they come back, @Cleetus and I will be sent to space to repair an old Soviet satellite

 

[Suntouchable13]

After the MTL series debacle it was obvious that they don’t have it. The seasons after that were a total waste of our time, if you think about it. If they don’t make meaningful changes this time around, I don’t see why people should attend games or buy merch.

 

[jiggy35]

Marner the God………….OMG

The mormons will love him

 

[hotpaws]

I not going to knock Marner over his interview , i knew what he meant even though he didn't articulate it well .

Marner's biggest problem is he takes it too personally , he feels he needs to deliver every night and when things don't go his way it starts to snowball , being saddled with JT to try to make his corpse useful didn't help .

STEP BACK FROM THE ABYSS!

 

[Racer88]

The mormons will love him

Good they can have him

 

[AvroArrow]

Dear lord. There has to be more to it. This is just

Please tell me there is more context to this. PLEASE!

We should start calling him Phobos. The Greek God of fear and panic.

But he also gets paid 10.893mil, he really shouldn’t need anyone to prop him up.

If anything, all of them are Apollos, given everything but always come up short. We need more Hercules, whom will grind and tough it out when the going gets tough. lol.

 

[Budz]

This entire team shows with words and actions that:

They really don’t care about losing. No anger, not one comment of “I have to be better.

They care more about sticking up for buddies.

They think they are “right there”. Beyond delusional.

 

[hotpaws]

But he also gets paid 10.893mil, he really shouldn’t need anyone to prop him up.

nope he shouldn't but he also shouldn't be expected to carry an anchor in the playoffs against a quality defensive team like the Bruins either

Willie did that and led the team in scoring goals

 

[hotpaws]

Willie did that and led the team in scoring goals

cool but Willie is more a duel threat while Mitch is more a playmaker and neither should be saddled with trying to carry JT

also neither made JT useful

 

[Torontonian]

Just watched that Keefe interview, that’s a tough one, sounds like they already told him he’s going to be fired.

And to me that’s the problem.
MM needs another player to make him useful due to being a playmaker.
Anyhow, MM just needs to be better bc playing with JT or not, he was bad in the playoffs.

Just watched that Keefe interview, that’s a tough one, sounds like they already told him he’s going to be fired.

Even if they didn’t, do you honestly think Keefe would think he is coming back?

 

[The Masters]

another thing i noticed. Zero car flags for leafs. Anyone notice this too? Fans are conditioned to this losing yet they are going to continue this ship? Dont think so.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

> Marner.

He has to go.

He hates it here. He needs to leave.

One thing is clear:

If Marner is resigned, it isn't about winning or the fans.

I thought Benoit and McCabe were fine moving the puck this series.

Most teams do that by the way.

Do you think Buffalo only has ELCs and league minimum contracts?

Regular season is where most people earn their contract, hate to break it to you.

Also, Benoit and McCabe are fine... but they are below average/average at best.

Edmundson and Lub are some of the worst.
