Man do I ever miss Ray on the Canadian feeds, one of the best colour guys out there!
Ray is the best analyst in the sport.
Ray is a great guest on any show. 👍
Ray should be doing prime time games on Hockey Night in Canada. I miss him on TSN.
I feel this will be Keefe's last kick at the can.
Let’s hope! fingers crossed!
He can go to Pittsburgh and make sure he doesn’t slam the door on his butt on the way out
Ray was a great player and is a great colour analyst today! Thank you Ray for adding value to our beloved sport!
Ray is the best! Others should take note on how he does color during the games!
Such a great interview, I miss Ray for CDN markets
Put Marner with Nylander, maybe with Nylander in the middle with Knies. Then have Tavares centre the shut down line, with McMann and Jnarkrok. Sorry about the spelling.
Tavares a shutdown guy? Too slow no physicality
Thats why you have mccann and jarnrok. Tavares canbe phydical and plus he's great on the faceoffs@@larrywolfe2509
GLG! Great show boys :)
Ray is always very knowledgeable and a great mind for the sport. Too bad he is no longer working in Canada
He’s been broadcasting Canucks games part-time
Sheldon Keefe is a good coach & his head should be nowhere near the chopping block. It's not even close to his fault - he did the best with the soft players that Dubas has provided. Also, they are stuck in the toughest division in pro hockey. Treliving hasn't had the time to build his team yet - so he shouldn't be on the chopping block. Dubas left him with hardly any draft picks and a team full of soft players with no trade clauses right up against the cap. Shanahan's head should be the only one on the chopping block. When the Bruins sweep the Leafs Shanahan should be replaced and Treliving should be allowed to try and deal one or more of the core 4. Mitch Marner, IMHO, is one of the most overrated players in the NHL and he needs to go - he is already overpaid by at least $3 Million and he's going to want $13 Million on his next deal. NO - HELL NO.
8 years in with the same philosophy (hey Shanny) and all of our home grown media is still trying to put lipstick on a pig. T.O. has some great individuals however they all play on the forward lines. Reilly who was once a stalwart ‘D’ man for them has faded away and is hardly noticeable (not rushing the puck except on the P.P.) Nylander is showing some of the old ‘don’t give a shit attitude) and for me that attitude is surely pissing off the guys dig in hard every shift. It’s GREAT to have a guy like Matthews, he’s as great an all round player (except for not being a fighter) as the Leafs have ever had. For all the money and V.P.’s and general employees they have, they haven’t developed a top goaltender. Deep defense is not even a passing consideration. EVERY PUNDIT who is asked to evaluate the Leafs chances is giving the same response since they’ve paid highly for players who have won 1 playoff round in 8 years. I watched the Leafs win cups in the ‘60’s and have bled BLUE AND WHITE my entire life. I have gotten the chance to cheer for some great individual players since those years but NOTHING has even approached a close cup run. SAME OLD LEAFS. MONEY FOR OLD ROPE !
Nylander's allergies are back.....allergic to the boards....does not fight for the puck; he just sticks his stick in there like it's house league
💯 you got it man.
Exactly! Just give him a good clean hit at the start of the game and he’ll be a no show for the rest of the game.
Except he's performed well in the playoffs every year. 🤷
@@Eazy-Rider Let's hope he can find his allergy pills in time
That is SO true
Ray does still do colour for Canucks games but only half of their schedule because of his US commitments. He definitely is one of the best.
I was at the golf driving range today and call me crazy but I don’t think several Leaf players should have been there hitting balls as well.
Ray is a great hockey man
love RAY. He should coach a team.
I agree
Best colour commentator
Ray's a beauty.
So can we get Ray to coach the team?
Ferraro and Galley are the best broadcast commentators.
Galley is so bad
Look at the template for success over the last fifty years, regarding Stanley Cup champions. Quite frankly the Leafs don’t fit into that template. Four finesse forwards, lack of depth, average defence and average goaltending, has never been the recipe of a championship team. Period.
Leafs need to get the momentum early and hold on to it otherwise they’re gonna have problems
Last night was one of the weirdest closures to an NHL season I can remember. Leafs vs. Bruins, just like that. Wow.
Pat Maroon will be all over Matthews. Bruins acquired him for that reason. Reaves will have to sort that out early. That's why Leafs acquired him
@@billboggs6641maroon won't be on the ice with Matthews. It won't be an issue. Reaves can handle him
Reaves will handle maroon easily
@@BillDalbyis Reaves even going to be in the lineup? Lol
Leafs are actually underrated, have been all year. But Boston is strong again, even without their previous generation of stars. No idea how they keep up a winning record for decades at a time. On paper, I like the Leafs, but certainly their previous failures haunt them. We'll know by game 2 whether the Leafs have it or not. It's theirs to lose I think. So many high end players... all in their prime, with the exception of Tavares and a couple of the D.
Just sounds like Leafs could use additional support this year - to have any chance of besting the Bruins. 😀
No they don't need anything. They just need to play well. Stay focused and pay attention to details. They can do it, they just have to go out and do it.
@@Eazy-Rider That is a great approach. I normally support Jets & Bruins. But I am supporting Leafs this spring (Bruins have had more than their share of winning). So - Go Leafs Go. I do hope maybe Matthews doesn’t get exposed to injury - he is a real super star. Enjoy the games. 😀
I dont like Boston.Boston attacks weakness aggressively and Matthews is( talented but)soft.I feal TOs weak leadership will sink them first round again.
@@jimlangdon1947Your no Bruins fan. Sorry. Their share of winning? Wtf are you on about? They've had their share of heartbreak more often.
@@Eazy-RiderThey need a goalie , and 2 more legitimate D to match up. Not to mention Leafs world is sleeping on coyle and zacha.
Biggest mistake of season, not getting Marner to Centre second line and move JT to third centre. If we going to pay him megabucks again, he should have more responsibility. Getting him working on faceoffs during off-season. He has defensive acumen, is a playmaker and to me a more natural born centre like Denis Savard type.
The life of a hockey analyst, every night in a new Hotel room.
That's why John Garrett retired this year.... travel, too much sacrifice. The ex-players can retire easier I think, and they do. Ferraro has a decade left minimum, good for fans.
the Leafs should know what to expect from Boston, I think special teams and goalie's will be keys, the Bruins will come out banging , the Leaf's D have to ready and the forwards have to play North /South for a full 60 , question is can the Leaf's do this enough to beat the Bruins, I want to say yes , it all depends which team shows up for the playoffs, the Leafs are not favourite to beat Boston or go far, so maybe less expectations could be the best thing for the Leafs, but I have to agree with Ray Panthers could be the team but don't overlook Carolina they could go far this playoff ,
Theyve added grit but the soft leadership is the same.Out in 1?I wouldnt be surprised.Hell they chose to concentrate their efforts to getting their captain 70 goals rather than playing defensive smart hockey to break their losing streak,(and Matthews went along with it).Sure as hell wouldnt bet on a broken team.
If you only could trade the Fans.
Its the goals against is the loosing team .
1959.
The constant line up changes has not worked. Ray put it well when he gave the example of how it restricts someone like Nylander. Your scorers can't score if they have no one who can feed them. Makes no sense of breaking up a high scoring trio.
Awful goaltending and D is still not great ..
I wouldn't call Sammy's play since he came back awful. I'd say it was very good. D is bigger and meaner than ever.
@@Eazy-Rider Sammy is hot and cold - not what you want in a goaltender. The Leafs do not have a star goaltender. You build a Stanley Cup team from the goaltender out. paying 50% of the cap to 4 players has crippled this team. The D is led by Rielly who is God awful. He always pinches and get's caught and never, absolutely never, clears the net. He just waves his stick. The only good D they have are McCabe, Edmunson and Benoit. Rielly is good for moving the puck out and it ends there. 4 and golfing ..
The Leafs are the only team playing that everyone ,even their own players, know they don’t have a chance. They have no heart or desire to participate in this competition.
The last time the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Boston Bruins in a playoff series was during the 1959 NHL playoffs. The Maple Leafs won the semifinal series in seven games. If you think this is not an important fact you cannot be respected as a broadcaster.
How does any of this help with poor defensive coverage and goaltending?
1959. That was the last year that the Leafs beat the Bruins in a playoff series. What are the odds that will change anytime soon. Toronto is so stupid and corrupt from top to bottom. No inspiration from their coach or management. Leafs in 5. Go Leafs.
Keefe has to go as does Shanahan. This team's defensive short-coming is egregious! The poke-checking wingers are soft and do pirouettes at the blue-line while the Leaf goalie is under siege. In conjunction, they have 2 D and a winger are standing flat-footed trying to play goalie while SCREENING the actual goalie! I get it early in the season. NOT in April!!! It doesn't matter what number the D are wearing. It's a horrendous (coaching) philosophy that is the issue, especially come play-offs!! Soft...softer...softest...and it seems to be just fine with this management team. I don't care if we score 7 goals then.......lose 8-7!
Bruins in 5.
Just play the trap like Montreal did vs leafs in game 7. You can't play wide open hockey in the playoffs.
Leafs will fail again. Major trades are needed
Another 1st round exit boys.
The Leafs as they are built will never go on a playoff run. They haven’t figured out playoff hockey in the past 7 years and year 8 will be no different. Leafs defend terribly. 21st in GAA won’t cut it. Overpriced and overrated!
Ray, the team may "look" different, but what is not different is ownership and the losing culture. There is no winning culture. The Leafs need a new owner that gives a f&^%. ML$E doesn't care. The Shanaplan is a failure after 10 years. Weak D and G. The bigger joke, is that in 30 years, not 1, ONE, Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup. The joke is on all fans in Canada.
lol leafs get swept. Jesus is anyone actually expecting them to show up and care more than Boston?
LOL THE LEAFS the leafs stink
Im looking forward to toronto playing boston it can be done but every player in the line up needs to contribute with a hit or an assist a blocked shot.
