They are trying to add toughness every year but their core is so soft that there's no fix.

Absolutely. I always thought it was completely absurd to spend however much they're spending on those four. Matthews has an element of toughness to his play but it's not nearly enough between them. Marner and Nylander make Rants downright look imposing.

I know but do they want the East Coast audience? Should be close to ending the 1st rn.

He's the softest of the 4. He's just bigger than the others. Dude has negative testosterone on and off the ice.

Well... it is a West coast game, so they don't really care? Nor do they expect it.
Matthews cares more about hanging out with his buddy Bieber than winning playoff games

If the Leaves can't come back and win this series it's gotta be the end of an era right? Gotta move on from the coaching staff and at least one of the big 4

Shanahan and Keefe gone for sure. They are going to keep the GM for now.
Hard to tell what will happen with the players.
If Marner is on the market that hurts Rants' value.

Yet they will delay the start of late games so that the early game is completed... The NHL wants eyeballs.

Toronto just isn't built to win. Sometimes you draft a core of players that just aren't cut from the right cloth and the result isn't good enough, that's just how it is. They're all too soft for the postseason game and they don't have the ability to turn the dial up to 11 when it's needed. They need to retool; Marner probably goes this summer but I still don't think that's going to fix them.
Crazy to think that a team with a player like Matthews on the roster has such a dismal future to look forward to, I think even Edmonton has a better shot to win with McDavid, even though that team has its own major flaws.

Dallas came to play tonight. They’re all over Vegas and it’s 1-0 now

For sheer entertainment, nothing beats the Toronto post game thread right now. Haven't seen that much cannibalism since Biden's uncle went down in New Guinea.

Love it. Drag this series out as far as it'll go, I want these motherf***ers to hurt one another and hobble into the second round
That's why having a super top heavy team like Toronto scares the crap out of me. If Cmac can't keep finding bargain bin guys like JD, we'll be just as f***ed.
