If I was Treliving when I first showed up here, everyone of the coaching staff would have been gone and I would have done something shocking with the big four, literally whatever was available.

Rielly is the only one I can see being traded, but then you're bringing back the same offense core with a different defense. Next year is gonna be no different.

The Leafs GM screwed up big time by not upgrading the Leaf Core 4 over the past this. This isn’t the players - it is the Leaf Executives screwing up. 😀

Matthews left because it was reported by the Leafs he has food poisoning. Was that an excuse because of what was going on at the bench. The Leafs are a mess, the Leafs will be strapped with contracts. They can't afford to retool the team especially with Matthews and Nylanders contract.

It’s crazy how some of these players are willing to go through so much for their teams and others are not. Chara literally could’ve died during the 2019 SCF. But he chose to help the team instead.

In the regular season you can win a lot of games with a small group of highly skilled forwards. In the playoffs however that goes out the window. You win in the playoffs based upon things like your second and third D-men pairings and your second unit penalty kill. Requires a deep team with talent spread throughout. This isn't rocket science. Except to the Leafs. Everyone else has figured it out.

@dereksbooks

16 күн бұрын

It's also much harder for skilled players to dominate games when the opponent is 100% effort on every shift. There are no easy shifts in the playoffs, and you don't feast off 10 power play games. It takes a special player, and no one on the Leafs has it.

"You have to split the core 4" All 4 have NMC.

I predict an OT Boston victory in game 5 with Woll in the Leafs net, standing on his head throughout the game only for them to get their hearts broken, yet again, by a Boston team willing to do whatever it takes.

Dubas gave up Hyman (50+goals), Moore (30+ w LA), Brown (Pk specialist), Marchment, Jared (awesome for Seattle) and Freddy (going on a cup run w Carolina. Oh yes and Kadri, who WON A CUP. 😅 SHANAHAN OUT.

Lou would never have gone all in on the core four like Shanahan has insisted. Obviously it is a fundamental mistake. Yes, Nylander is a very good player, but an opportunity was missed by not trading him this year to gain some balance.....Shanahan, Treliving and Keefe need to go....

In this league the last thing a team wants to be is down 3-0 or 3-1 in the playoffs. We have seen teams come back from a 3-0 deficit and win so it is not over until it is over. If this happens again i do see a major shakeup within the organization.

Leafs are just not a playoff team.Not built for it.

Its a psychological issue in leafs town. This has been happening for years! Never fully rebuilding, outlandishly HIGH contracts, and, like most Leafs fans, self induced blindness to the situation. There is a reason good players have left that team, more importantly, that town. It sucks to go thru a real rebuild. But having a team thag gives you false playoff hopes by having an "ok" season regularly, with "much better" seasons sprinkled in, is just unrealistic in reaching the cup. They should have rebuilt for real before mathews got there, and they would be in a real position to make at least ECF. It sucks, but maybe the fans need to not boo their home team in a pre-season game, because the redwings are whipping them without any starting stars playing. Players want to leave because of the pressure of unrealistic expectations from fans on players who are playing on a team whose management wont go all in on having a well rounded team. As i understand it, the Leafs have very little in regards to draft picks coming in the next 5 yrs.(they r1 of lowest rated teams for draft picks coming up in their system) they have paid cup winning money to players (not mathews) who are literally not cup winners. And unfortunately, they wont be while in tor for yrs to come.

Did Auston Matthews tell Marner and Nylander he can't play anymore, and that what started the arguing on the bench?

McDavid gets 5 assists in 1 game, Hyman has 6 goals in 3 games... yall must be envious... I'm not making fun i would be too and you're absolutely right, Tavares and Marner gotta go.

Nobody can't get over the pressure of the Toronto market. Maybe if the Toronto market took on a winning and not a winging attitude they might win more.

You nailed it in the last bit, no changes!

Did the people who bought tickets get refund since there wasn't a hockey game tonight?

Leafs need two teams: Team A gets them to the playoffs, and Team B gets them to the cup. Send Mathews, Marner and Tavares to the golf course and keep Nylander, Reilly and the cheap players for the playoffs.

There are multiple players on the Canucks that have scored multiple goals in one game than Austin Matthews. Lindholm, two Goals and OT winner tonight. Dakota Joshua, two goals. Brock Boeser got 3 tonight. I too feel bad for the leafs.

The classic hockey formula for success is a couple of star forwards, a star d-man, a kick-ass goalie, and a solid supporting cast. But Shanahan and Dubas thought that they were smarter than everyone else, and they decided to over-invest cap money in four star forwards. And with Tavares getting older and slower, they have four star contracts, but really only three star players. And of those, Marner has consistently shown that he is not a strong playoff performer. Now we have a situation where all four are either injured or old. The Leafs would have been better off if they had kept Freddie Anderson in net, and traded one of their marquee forwards for a great d-man and a bunch of draft picks or supporting players.

Will never feel bad for the leafs. They’ve had 68 years to make something happen, and yet they’ve been nothing but garbage for that entire time. Will forever amuse me knowing they’re leafs fans out there (who’re the most classless, stupid, delusional people ever) that actually think they’ll contend for a cup with matty (who ain’t top 5) Marner, Rielly tavs, and willie on their team. Dumpster fire franchise.

Without Matthews this would be a sweep. He's the only one worth anything. Every team they face knows that all they have to do is cover Matthews and the Leafs will lose. Welcome to Laughs nation!

Sheldon is gone but they are stuck with Tavares for at least one more year and i don't see Matthews , Marner or Nylander going anywhere.

Keep The Golf Quartet together😅 seriously though they don't block shots

Being a Leafs fan all my life, my son naturally became a fan, too. Now I feel like an abusive dad.

Honestly the best thing I ever did was not become a cowboys fan like my dad. Made the mistake of investing in this team

Why would your son "naturally" become a Leafs fan; you indoctrinated him. Admit it.

I don't know how they can move any of those guys. No trade clauses and long contracts.

I'll be back in five years when the new rebuild hits its stride. This time let's start with the D corps.

Toronto has outplayed Boston for most of this series other than game 1 where they got dominated. They just can't score & have stupid penalties.

It's more so the coaching. Look at van. They would not be the same team without tocchet. They have been doing the shanaplan for too long with the most embarrassing results imaginable only to keep hitting the redo button. Leafs ownership is the definition of insanity.

Did anyone manage to read lips there (especially Nylander)?? I'm terrible at reading lips, so can someone who's good at it please provide a sort of transcript? I'd appreciate it. 😊

I’m not a leafs fan at all. But I hope lessons are being learned here about hockey. Anyone who’s watched enough hockey knows it isn’t over until it’s over. The game is a game of momentum swings and anything that can happen WILL happen.

Boston will win game 5 too and send the Leafs packing Bruins in 5. The Leafs lack the grit and toughness in the playoffs especially from the core 4. It’s an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment why Matthews didn’t play in the third period. I mean this your season on the line for him not to play because of an illness nope that doesn’t fly with me this is the playoffs I don’t care how sick you are. I agree they have so many chances with the core 4 it’s time to finally split this current group of players on the Leafs. I’m very disappointed in the Leafs game 4 performance the fans have every right to boo and be upset they are big money to go watch the Leafs in the playoffs. It’s shameful how easily they just fold up like a cheap suitcase in the playoffs year after year. And I don’t consider last year a success either they only won one game in the second round against a Florida team that they were favourites to win against before the series started winning one game in the second round I don’t consider that a success

Not sure why this is such a shock honestly. The Bruins have owned Toronto in the playoffs for quite awhile now and they swept all 4 games in the regular season. It was strange to me when Bruin fans were upset we dropped our last 3 games and ended up second instead of first. I was happy because it meant Toronto in the first round and not Tampa, a team we have had issues with. Some teams just match up against other teams much better than they would others. Could boil down to systems etc. Throw in lack of confidence due to past results and this is what happens. What Toronto needs is to deal some of that salary cap weight they carry in 4 players and get a few Bertuzzii types and a good young goalie along with a few good draft picks. They will not win a cup with this crew. I see Edmonton as very similar. Certainly right now Skinner is very confident and playing well, but if he went down or lost that confidence, good bye Edmonton. Due to a much easier conference and division, Edmonton will win a round or 2 but no cup either. Not deep enough !!!!!!!! IMO

Matthews threw up in the lockeroom after second period.

And he usually shits the bed in the playoffs, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Nylander, Matthews and Marner should’ve left at free agency.

Been saying this since they traded Hyman and Kadri. They shoulda traded Nylander long ago. It would have changed the trajectory of this team

We lost with Hyman. We lost with Kardri.

If you're core is comprised of talented players that have never had to fight hard to achieve success, you shouldn't be surprised they don't how to compete against more aggressive, motivated opponents.

The Toronto Maple Leaf's are like Stan Mikita's Chicago Blackhawks, full of talent didn't play as a team and only won one Stanley cup. You build a team from the back end forward. Brenden Shanahan needs to go.

It's the leaders. Keefe is a horrible coach. Woll should have started game 2. JT is NOT A CAPTAIN. Give the C to someone who cares. Keefe and JT don't demand ANY accountability

So why do all the first round series go to a game 7

I hope jomboy dose a lip read of that bench

Don't feel bad for the most toxic fans in the league.

I had known for a long time that the Maple Leafs hadn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967, but I was stunned to learn last year that they had lost 18 consecutive Stanley Cup series! Geez Louise.

Everyone in Canada except for Toronto is having a jolly good time 😂 move the team to Quebec City if it doesn’t work out
