lol.....this is hilarious.

Best part is, laffs are in a no-mans land now. If they had lost in the first round, they'd have carte blanche to make whatever changes they wanted. Now they have to try and make hard decisions.

Matthews just could not have been less interested in playing hockey tonight.
 
Yeah I thought the way game 2 went down combined with the long break this was going to be a backbreaker for the Leafs. Hopefully for their sakes they won't get swept but that was a sad effort in game 3 by their core.

you're not wrong... they had me convinced they would somehow squeeze inn the way they played after the all star break...obviously it was not sustainable for the rest of the season but it at least showed what the team is capable of...

This team over the years has been through enough coaches. I keep asking who is better suited ? and why fire a coach who the players like, so far under his reign there has been no internal or external drama in regards to the players and the team has been improving year to year....

if a coach insists on playing a defensive style of hockey the goalie in most likely-hood will benefit from it...I feel the goalie is in more of a position to make the coach look less or more capable...the head coach can mess with the goalies confidence but they don't have that much impact on how the goalie actually preforms in the net....its a very technical position, reason why goalies have their own coaches...you say a coach can make a goalie look better, I say a goalie can make the whole team better just like it can make it worse...its the position that has the greatest ability to impact the outcome of a game in general terms as it acts as the last line of defense and on the ice the whole game.

Short answer for me is the guys need a coach, not a friend.

Funny to say as our team hasnt been in playoffs for 6 years but I cant believe the Leafs and their fans think they are winning anything built that way. Their defense is absolutely awful and they have way too much money on a couple guys up front.

The funny part is it seemed like the narrative was that the 2 day break was a godsend for the team and especially the core to regroup and get back in this series. Instead is was the depth and deadline rental guys to keep them in the game. I won’t say the core guys completely disappeared, Matthews had a couple chances….but yeah far from a “fighting on the beaches” effort out there tonight.

The Leafs have never won anything with the big 4 and they never will. They are great regular season performers, but when the going gets tough they become no shows. 3 assists between Marner and Matthews in 3 games. A total underperform.
Those players need to put the team on their backs and lead them to victory but instead they are no shows.
