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

[Razamanaz]

If ya win - take a Finn as a center .

Even if KAJ only came 4:th place in the Eurovision competition in the bitter end .... but they sang in Swedish. Finland is a two song country ... or rather sword.

Barkov.

Hintz.

Aho.

Lundell.

Only the centers. Around.

No more and no less than 12 (!) top Finns in NHL-action still nowadays. How can you top that Canada?!

And yes; I've been live to the World championships 'ere in Sweden (Stockholm) to watch the ... well, losers around.

Is there even a scenario where leafs management want Marner back? The series wasn’t even over and there was talk of a bad relationship and questions about where Marner ends up.

Imo the Leafs keep Tavares (6mil x 4 years) and let Marner walk. They use the Marner money to extend RFA Knies.

I could see other teams offering Tavares 8-9 per, but if he wants to stay in Toronto, good for him.

 

[Son of Nogatco]

16 is as good as gone. I’m more interested in whether the alleged “Marner PR plants” disappear from the board or if they continue to cosplay as leafs fans

 

[AcerComputer]

Leafs lost the series in game 3 when the had the opportunity to go up 3-0

Yeah I’d agree that Tavares likely returns, a lot easier to bring him back. Marner is going to be the fall guy here. It’s probably a good thing for him too, Superstar talent but too much expected of him in Toronto. Go elsewhere with an already established leadership group and just be a superstar.

I would love to see Colorado make room for him, he'd be a perfect fit there.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Bruins are the real winners of this game. Toronto’s 1st stays lower and they get a 1st from Florida all because of the win

 

[JFedol]

Marner was better than Matthews throughout the series and I'll die on that hill.

Aside from Egregious turnovers, his offensive upside is just way higher than a volume of shots from Matthews lol.

If only he had worked on his shot a couple of years ago. But he clearly doesn't f***ing care

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

If you read between the lines of what he said Dubas was absolutely gonna try to get a deal done for Marner

Dubas was right.

 

[JFedol]

He obviously was the reason why the game went the way it did.

But If anybody was paying attention to Marchand throughout this whole game. Like the little things

He was unbelievable lol.

Yeah, but Marner is a UFA and Matthews ain't.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Because Marner played even worse than Matthews, who I can only assume is hurt. Nylander was still generating chances and this is his first no show in a playoff series in recent memory. Marners moping and entitlement drags the team down. He is just so f***ing fragile mentally, it's insane

Woll let in some absolutely deflating softies. Completely killed any opportunity for momentum. I like Woll but he was aweful and should have played Stolartz for several reasons- bigger, better and would have been an unexpected surprise for the Cats

Pretty sure the Cats know stolie since he played for them last year

Bob also let in some absolute shitters too

As much as I like to see the Leafs lose, this was a powerhouse matchup between arguably the best 2 teams in the NHL. I expected more from the Leafs in game 7, but at the end of the day they went 3-4 against the defending champs. There's no shame in that.

There's absolutely a ton of shame of back to back 6-1 losses at home, especially when you put up a 2-0 shutout in between.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

Marchand basically said “this was the biggest game of your life but it was just another Sunday for me”

 

[Chaos2k7]

Stolarz games 2-0

Woll games 1-4

Thanks for coming. Drive home safe

Stolarz was knocked out in game 1.

Woll got the decision in all 7 games.

Scary to think of the Bruins having the draft capital to select another couple of John Beechers

 

[Tupu]

This Marchand guy pretty decent, want him to sing for some stuff.

 

[sampollock]

34 is a fail

 

[Tupu]

34 is a fail

That has to be not to be easy winning against Barky or Lundy. Think failure of great 4 is more like collective failure and its not easy to win against them.

 

[93gilmour93]

Can we sign Marchand in the summer so we can guarantee we don't play him in the playoffs again?

Well sign Marchand and Bennett, no worries mate

 

[The don godfather]

One things for sure 1967 continues on. It's a incredible feat to have a drought like this. Now things could be looking like a rebuild mode this might take a little longer now.
