Those same fans are lining the pockets of the owners with a new jersey purchase when Toronto wins their next pre season game. That's just a bunch of adults acting like children who didn't get to buy a chocolate bar.
It happened in Edmonton too. I remember when the oiler goalie threw it back in the crowd lol.

When no movement clause kicks in and you know the player turtles in tough physical playoff games and has high value because of regular season success trade his ass.

Top 4.
you sure on that one. He and his squad let in 6 and should have been touchdown if the league didnt cheat and wiped Jones goal off.

Toronto's in a weird spot this summer. Two of their top 4 on expiring contracts. No prospects or picks to make a big trade to replace them. Not in a spot to start another tear down rebuild with how empty their picks/prospect pool is.
If Marner leaves I expect they'll re-sign Tavares, overpay in free agency for contracts that they think will help, but won't actually balance this roster, spin their wheels until Matthews' contract is over and he leaves in free agency/is traded at the trade deadline in his final year, and then start another tear down rebuild that will likely last 5-10 years before they have a chance to compete again.

All I'm seeing is....Imagine taking the Stanley cup champs to 7 games WITHOUT a fully healthy lineup and you have people wanting to blow things up.
Here's the ACTUAL facts
Injured Matthews
1 goal 3 assists in 7 games
Marner
1 goal 4 assists in 7 games.
Nylander
3 goals, 3 assists in 7 games.
Barkov
5 points in 7 games but 2 were phantom secondary assists in a blowout game, and his only 2 goals were in Panthers losses.
Reinhart
2 goals, 3 assists in 7 games. But one of those goals were in a game that was already finished.
Tkachuk
4 assists in 7 games.
Looks to me like the Leafs stars outplayed the Panthers stars. Especially since the Panthers had more help from their depth players than the core four did. And ofc, Panthers best goalie vs Leafs second best goalie..
Matthews and Marner are better than any skater on the Panthers.
Nylander played better than any of them this series.
Excuse excuse excuse excuse excuse excuse excuse excuse excise excuse excuse excuse excuse and therefore excuse excuse excuse excuse excuse excuse.

to try but lets the shot go in

You're kinda living up to your name.
Florida snuck into the playoffs were seen as an easier opponent than Boston (who absolutely dominated in the regular season.) Some of the players seemed to be bothered by it:
Panthers, Matthew Tkachuk troll Leafs fans over 'We want Florida' chants
The Florida Panthers are moving on to the Eastern Conference final with a chip on their shoulder.

Ah yes, that's exactly why they were chanting it. Not because they were secretly relieved the 'lesser' team got in.
They wouldn't have been chanting 'we want Boston' if Boston had won. No one would have wanted to invite that bad mojo.
Yeah it is a complete mystery why a chant for a team that's trounced Toronto twice now is being brought up. It's not because it is relevant or anything.

For the record, there were chants of we want Boston.
Also the other team was Boston, a record breaking regular season team with Toronto's number historically. Of course they wanted underdog Florida.
It's not what you think it is. And it isn't at all relevant.
They fail against everyone.

iirc most of the chants were "we want Florida", but they also chanted "we want Boston".You're kinda living up to your name.

Yes, thank you for not reading what I wrote.
Which is what makes that chant so funny.

I did read what you wrote. Did you read mine?
Why is it funny that they chanted about Florida if they lose to everyone?
It's a whole lot of nothing, honestly.

I don't care why anyone else roasts the Leafs.
I roast them because it is funny as hell seeing them get anointed year after year by the Canadian media when they've done nothing to deserve it beyond having 'Toronto' on their jerseys.
I love Toronto. Lived there for a number of years. But having to hear all Leafs, all the time is tiring, and if you're old enough to remember a time when there wasn't multiple sports channels and the such, how aggravating it was (and is starting to come back around to being since Sportsnet continues to centralize everything and make it less regional.)
Oops.
I was responding to the wrong person. Sorry about that!
We're on the same page. Except I hate the city of Toronto (love Montreal though). I hate Toronto so much I don't cheer for the Raptors- not even in 2019.
I am a Blue Jays fans but only because I was 8 and too young to realize how much TO sucked as a city. At keast thst's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

You know the meme picture of the guy celebrating on the podium? Kisses a girl, pops a bottle of champagne, etc?
And then it zooms out and the dude is like 4th place or something?
That's how it looks like: unearned and comical, served on a bed of crow. Felt the same way when Canucks fans would try to jeer goalies who typically had the team's number.
Or when the media would write insulting articles -- there was a game a few years ago where one of the local writers essentially talked shit about the Islanders and they came in and torched the Canucks.
It was funny/sad for me that it happened, lol.
You seem bothered by it. Yes, yes, you actually aren't. I know.
Except it 100% was, and in many ways still is. He provided you with links where the players said it motivated them. Cousins put his hand to his ear after he scored that series. The owners put shirts out that fans still wear, I do. The fans loudly cheered it last year.
That’s translated as the fans believed the Panthers were the easiest team, it doesn’t matter that they also chanted Boston, supposedly. When a fighter calls out another fighter publicly, that’s seen as a slight when it’s done that way.

I am bothered by it, but only because it seems like some people think it's a clever insult.
I'll be honest I suffer from second hand embarrassment.
(And yes it does make being a Leafs fan tough...)
I guess I don't see how being excited to finally win a round and not have to play your nemesis is embarrassing, but perhaps I am the fool?
