Post-Series Talk: The Florida Panthers defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 (mod warning in OP)

[sampollock]

I am glad the the habs have contributed to the figs collapse in 2021

 

[Fatass]

I've been a huge Marner fan from the start. I have a Marner jersey. I have Marner on my fantasy squad. I've defended him for the past few years when fans/media sagged on him. I loved seeing him on the PK, and he's great to watch with his passing skill.

I hate him.

I don't hate easily. I've hated maybe 3 leafs since the Sundin era.

I hate Marner.

He's a pathetic little whiny piece of trash. He's going to walk as a free agent, and I'm glad. I wouldn't want him to stay on this team for free. Him wearing a letter on his jersey for years is a disgrace. He's not a leader, he's a quitter. I've seen more guts in 11 year kids. Marner can't even pretend to be a Leafs fan when he's just a greedy loser. He put more effort into contract egotiating than any playoff game.

Enjoy your payday in Utah, Mitch, or whatever team pays you for the regular season stats. I hope I never see you in a Leaf jersey again, you money grubbing choker.

Been watching since the 50’s. The Leafs have had some great players. I’d say Marner and Matthews would rank right up there with the best Leafs ever. But the previous greats were respected and likeable. I’m not seeing these two great talents as respected and likeable.

As a Bruins fan of the 4 important people on the leafs team if they were available I'd take Nylander.
One of his best friends is Pasta, so that's nice.

Marner? He'd have to get a transplant first. So there's that.

Tavares, um no.
Matthews? Uuuuugh! Not a chance.

The bruins would be ecstatic to get any of those 4 guys after the year they had

 

[ole ole]

The funniest thing in this thread is the fans of the other 27 teams who have been eliminated, trying to roast us lmao

Yeah we're disappointed we lost, but Sens/Habs fans having a party ? LOL

Your right we are having a great time. The Habs weren't suppose to make the playoffs while the Leafs from what i keep hearing were going to the finals.
Ya as a Habs fan i am LMFAO

 

[Strangle]

There is no way Marner deserves a raise. Offer him $9m with no trade protection and let him go

 

[Cheapseats]

I was really hoping the Leafs could get the monkey off their back. Game 6, the rise of Pappy, I thought the team would ride the momentum into game 7. It's going to be interesting to see what the team does to the roster. They aren't that far off, it would be really easy to screw this up, but they have some great bargaining chips. At least they almost got to the conference final.

Marner will get a lot of money come July 1.

 

[Strangle]

Marner will get a lot of money come July 1.

Good luck to him with that

 

[BB88]

Prior to this series I said the question will be how Toronto handles Floridas 3rd line

The best kept secret in the league

 

[Fatass]

Good luck to him with that

Imo the Leafs will take a big step backwards losing Marner. It’s not so easy to replace 100 point players, who are first over the boards on the PK, and play an excellent 200 foot game.

Wish they would have kept their 1sts and minten

 

[Hockey Outsider]

I've hated maybe 3 leafs since the Sundin era.

Out of curiosity, who are the others?

 

[93gilmour93]

Congrats Florida. Another hard pill to swallow for Leafs Nation in game 7 but you proved again why the Panthers are the champs until proven otherwise.

Got a chance to meet some cool Panthers fans in here during the series with some good laughs, navigating through the trolls, both teams having their good moments and some fun back and forth chirping for 7 games.

Good luck against Carolina...

Metallica wrote a song about this.... it's called "Sad But True". He's going to bank out on the Leafs, and end up in Dallas. IMO he lacks the strength and balls for playoff hockey. Leafs will be fine without Marner.

 

[Mr Nogatco]

Both deadline acquisitions, Laughton and Carlo, were awful in the playoffs.

Rantanen for Marner would have been huge, but Mitch the Regular Season Bitch decided to pull a Tavares

Can’t blame the player for that. Blame the GM that gave him the NTC, or the GM that didn’t trade him before it kicked in.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

I've seen more guts in 11 year kids.

Brand New reference?

 

[WickedWrister]

It's obviously still Dubas fault

 

[banks]

Brand New reference?

Indeed it was.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

Indeed it was.

I was like there's no way someone says that without making the reference but Michael Keaton kept quoting TLC songs in The Other Guys without knowing who they were, so you can never be too sure.

 

[nORRis8]

Not for that coin.
They just signed Pasta at 11.5.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Losers lose like losers

 

[Number8]

Brad Marchand is 37 years old. Just this past offseason alone he had three surgeries: Elbow tendon, groin sports hernia, abdominal sports hernia. God knows how many other he's had over his career.

Still a fantastic player but he's on back nine overall.

So, all things considered, if you had to pick a regular season player between Marchand, Nylander, Tavares, Marner, and Matthews (at their current age/health), you would clearly pick Nylander, Marner, and Matthews over Marchand at this stage.

However, you need a player for Game 7 playoffs? It's Marchand over Nylander, Matthews, Marner, and Tavares every single day of the week and twice on Sunday.

And therein lies the problem with the Core Four. No pulse when it counts.

 

[Turin]

Can’t blame the player for that. Blame the GM that gave him the NTC, or the GM that didn’t trade him before it kicked in.

So, Treliving? Dubas was gonna blow up the core and Shanahan and his man Tre wanted to keep them
