Post-Game Talk: Thats all she wrote.

Zaitsev, Hainsey & Polak all played very poorly this series. Gardiner had an awful game 7.

If half of your defense isn't playing well, then what's that going to tell you?

Polak would have been fine played as a 6/7 as his quality and contract should dictate. We simply don't have the depth to bury him right now until guys like Lilly and Holl are ready.

Hainsey should be bought out. Rielly needs a better partner and that might be someone in the system but if I could I would back the Brinks truck up to Doughty's door.

Good series, guys. Best of luck next year!

 

[thewave]

only reason i would be fine with Freddie; if not; that kinda performance would not get leafs anywhere; then again - leafs defensive structure was a JOKE entire regular season and in the playoffs.

You're right. The team D was terrible but that is also on coaching. They didn't strategize this very well clearly.

 

[Tlo1]

Thought Reimer played better in 2013 than Anderson in 2018, yet the Leafs ran him out of town, and blamed him for the game 7 loss.

Your an idiot

 

[kihei]

Part of the learning experience, painful though it feels in the moment. No way in the world that Matthews wasn't hurting in this series. Nonetheless, we took a significant step this year. God knows we have enough skill--now we just have to keep getting smarter and better.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Yea, I was not too thrilled with Andy this series. Thought he could have been better.

He was Dr Jekyll mr Hyde

 

[Peasy]

Thank god that will be the last of JVR. I don't think ive seen a more useless 35+ goal scorer 5 on 5. This guy shows no emotion, and barely skates while hes on the ice. I remember when he use to play with Kessel they would eat teams alive on the rush, wtf happened.

 

[Suntouchable13]

When was the last time Babcock made past 1st round?

2013

 

[AppsSyl]

Another major area this team needs to address is faceoff. Jake had to go, - 4 in game 7 is unacceptable

You are being kind, he was -5.

Our wonderkid didnt show up at all. The thing about franchise players is that they show up for big games. Matthews didnt do that. He was invisible and couldn't handle the rough going. I was embarrassed to see him turtle a few games ago.

Ship Matthews, Nylander, Gardiner and Zaitsev to Edmonton for McDavid. At least he has heart.

Matthews=no heart. I dont care if he is only 20.

Gardiner is a complete tool. He almost singlehandedly destroyed this series for the leafs. Andersen was over worked. Babcock was out coached.

The Leafs didnt lose this series with this last game. They lost it with the first 2 games. They were not ready to go.

 

[FelixPotvin29]

They just sat back and let the Bruins come at them in the third. They came at the Leafs through the neutral zone without a Leaf in sight. When the Leafs were in the neutral zone the Bruins were all over them. I don't get it. I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!

It really is mind boggling.

 

[Hockey Rush]

When's the last time he had a team capable of getting him past the 1st round?

I blame Lou for not getting him the defensemen bab's needed to stabilize this d core.

I hope Kyle Dubas gets a chance at running this team with Shanny.

 

[Daisy Jane]

93% of comments in here are going to be way to over reactive and over the top. I'm glad I got to watch with you guys this season and look forward to next. I think we will have a much different looking team next year.

we hope. if lou signs on - maybe not.
but the same Schenn

 

[BTP]

my god, this team just loses in the most heartbreaking was possible.
im finished.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Man I miss the days this team had a pair of balls. Roberts, Sundin, Tucker, Domi, Corson, Belfour, Cujo; those were guys you went to war with in the playoffs. They may not have won, but they never folded like these pathetic scrubs

Except against NJ, but that was a different animal.

 

[Peiskos]

When was Bozak a part of another game 7 collapse?

Whatever dude you get my underlying point.

 

[Lynk]

Gardiner, man....
Freddy, man.......

Guys... That was... f***.. Jake man, Freddy.. man.

f*** this

 

[TMLeafs18]

How do you criticize Hyman? He played his heart out. He's not a scorer, but I became a fan of his these playoffs.

Not criticize I love his game but it’s apparent he doesn’t have the ability to be a top six winger on a team that wants to contend. He has all the heart in the world but it doesn’t make up for his absolute lack of offensive ability.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I blame Lou for not getting him the defensemen bab's needed to stabilize this d core.

I hope Kyle Dubas gets a chance at running this team with Shanny.

I don't think Dubas is the answer. (it's just a feeling i have, but then I had a feeling we'd win this game so what do i know). I was really hoping for Fenton but by all accounts he's the headliner for Minnesota.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

We get it you hate Andersen like you have all year long-give it a rest its really boring.

I love it when the Leafs win, and he gets in the way of that

 

[Nineteen67]

It might just be a dog fight next year making the playoffs, especially if they fill in the departing UFAs with Marlies.
One guy I hope gets a chance is Sparks.

 

[Stu]

Good series, guys. Best of luck next year!

Get out. We would be banned posting on your board. We don't need your comments right now.

 

[Stephen]

The worst part is now we're in this Washington Capitals territory of wondering if there's something fragile and broken with this group.

 

[ToMaLe]

The Marleau - Matthews - Marner line looked very good in the one shift they had together. Matthews was flying. I wonder if his linemates were part of his problem.

been saying forever, Matthews needs more talent on his line, Hyman and Brown are good workers but should not be playing with Matthews. Thats on babcock.

 

[Craig Button]

We got there in spite of Reims...we got here because of Freddy. Make no mistake about it. Hard to blame one player when 22 others just sat back and most had no ****ing fight in the third.

Kids got a slap in the face from the hockey gods. They played the start of the third like they had it wrapped up. Foolish mistake and a fatal way to play with a lead.

Throwing my jersey in the wash to get the stink of this game off it.

We made it in spite of Andersen.

We had 3 30 goal scorers and 6 20 goal scorers
