OK Guys, its time to review game 4 between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs.. The Bruins won this game by a score of 3-1 and once again.. Brad Marchand's DNA was all over this game.. The leafs stars are MIA... John Tavares, Auston Matthews, etc etc. They just can't seem to get the job done during the post season..

In the rest of Canada the leaves fall in autumn, in Toronto, the Leafs fall in the spring.
That’s awesome!….I’m gonna use that one if you don’t mind 😂
Lol
I have been saying that for years. It may be spring but the Leafs are falling. LOL
Here in coastal Georgia the live oak leaves fall in late winter early spring. It is uncharacteristic for a maple leaf to fall in spring...Unless it's in Toronto.
"8cm dialated" 😅 I nearly pissed myself from laughing!!
Me too!!
Yeah so did I!
SAME
At least Marner finally dropped his gloves.
He sharted on the bench and was fighting for air
That is a good one. Ha ha. 😂😂
Lol 😆
Auston was dusting the bench and Marner said enough you smell worse than the Rat, go home.
Ya...but it was in the..PWHL !😂😂😂 🏒🧚♀️💥🤛🧚♂️🏒
A penny for Berutzzi's thoughts. He was in Boston a year ago, hustling his way into being a fan favorite. Now he's on a bench with 3 guys making $10 mil+ per year whining at each other. His look says it was NOT worth a few extra bucks.
I would love to have Bertuzzi back here in Boston. He actually had a great series against the Panthers last year. They could've used him when we play against Florida next
Wait for PLAYOFF BERT they said: -1 goal via lucky deflection off his skates -1 secondary assist -3 dumb penalties that kill momentum -55 minutes spent fondling Marchand and flopping
@@stevendchuit is a poor game plan to make him the shutdown guy vs Marchand. Leafs are junk. Bertuzzi was better for other teams.
@@d2c341 Agreed. A smart coach would’ve told Bertuzzi to just ignore Marchand. Let him do what he does & hope for some calls. You’re not going to beat him at his own game & Marchand is at his best when he’s getting under someone’s skin which he obviously has.

Well I didn't get that one. What's that about, please?:)
I had to replay just to make sure he did it on purpose 😂
When you pay four players more than half your salary cap and expect good results. Who needs a defense and a goalie we have Auston Mathews, Nylander, Marner and Johnny T. Leafs are going to win a cup this year on the golf course.
Let’s see if the Toilet Seats can become a .500 team before you talk smack. 😂
Montréal finish the last 3 years 32,28,28 and they still have more series won then the laugh since 2021 lmfao leafs is a curse
It will be a big clean up from top to bottom Marner just play is last game in Toronto last night he will be trade this summer
The problem is the Leafs organization MLSE prints money like there will be no tomorrow, they don't care about winning in the playoffs. People need to start banning the Scotia arena and then maybe.
its funny cause legitimately everyone else has been telling leafs fans this for years now and they just never learn. having 4 guys eat up that much of your salary cap is a recipe for disaster. you're never gonna win in the playoffs like that. hockey is a team sport
Marchand at 5’ 9” and 180 lbs has totally humiliated the 40,000,000 dollar Leaf core. Heart matters.
bunch of 6'9 beta's
they did go out and get Ryan Reeves. He flexes his right bicep to the home crowd real good. That's a huge improvement. It's not a heart, but it is a body part.
Don't ever compliment that rat Brad Marchand. I'm a die hard Habs fan and I have been since 1968. I don't like TML at all never seen the Laughs win anything and I'm in my 60s now. But I'm old enough to understand that character and decency matters in hockey and in life. I absolutely despise Brad Marchand mainly because he's a massive P O S. F*ck Marchand from the bottom of my heart and f*ck the horse he rode in on. And no, I don't care how good he is, I would never want that classless piece of garbage on my team. Hockey will be in a much better place after that creep is gone.
Love him Hate him, Marchand is a special player. He will probably never be inducted into the HOF because of his mischievous antics early in his career. Sick, injured he comes to play every night and never gives up until the buzzer rings. Probably one of the most underrated player in his generation.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not a real NHL team. They are a 'Sports Entertainment' Corporation. The mission of the MLSE Corporation is to deliver regular season hockey entertainment. Playoff hockey is a bonus, certainly not an expectation.
@onelove1968 I agree with the first part but play off hockey is more of a punishment for leafs fans
Disgraceful
Exactly! They are built to score goals, sell tickets & market the franchise with Young Superstars ! Ownership doesn’t care as long as the fans will keep coming back. They’re not building a legit NHL “ TEAM” that can make a serious run at the cup. They’re only concerned with putting a flashy marketable product on the ice. Ans as you said…” Playoffs are a bonus”…who knows..we might even get lucky.
Holy cow you guys are all experts, dam Toronto should have put a add out and listened to how to really do it. Hire one of you guys, or wait is it hire 3 or 4 of you guys? Ohh well either way what a pleasure to read such material from such true experts. Thank you so much.
@@jimmyboy2165 Toronto cant put up a add.. they spend 45mil on 4 guys with 3 goals combined in PO so far...If you really think having 53% of your CAP in 4 guys is the way to win SC good luck to you. Just do not throw your Leafs jersey away, you can use it to wipe your tears in upcoming years...
Samsanov was feeling suicidal after the game. He stopped his car on the side of the 401 and got out. He was going to run in front of the first transport he saw. He saw one coming, he ran out, and it went right between his legs.
I heard he was trying to hold his head in his hands but managed to drop it.
Haha!
They should have left him in the minors where he belongs
That is an old joke I heard it back in the day when Luongo was with the Canucks. Classic though but not original
@@cocacoda Back in th 60's, Bruins had a goalie, Eddie Johnston. Said he tried to kill himself. Threw himself at a bus, and it went through his legs. Joke's been around a long time..
Leafs so screwed next year, they have 18.5 million and 12 players to sign lol
they can bring back Galchenyuk and 11 of his best pals
It might be a blessing. They've proven that zamboni drivers play better than them. I can't imagine zamboni drivers are expensive to sign.
@HanCholo112 Just bring in the entire Marlies team. They at least would appreciate the opportunity
hey maybe the leaf fans will finally invest their time and energy into fixing the Country instead lol, that's a positive in my eyes
When I lived in Toronto I used to play golf with this old guy. He told me that for his funeral he wanted six Leafs to carry his coffin. When I asked him why he said: "So they can let me down one more time." 😂
Money doesn't win cups, heart does, and this leaf team has absolutely none. Leaf fans can now go and crawl back under their beds.
You are right. Power forwards win playoff games. Leafs haven't had that since the 90's
im chilling where i am goofy
Hey go easy on Leaf fans, it’s not nice picking on the mentally disabled. Have you ever seen one try to use a spoon? Adorable.
Unless you're the Lightning or the Knights
Leafs can still win
Mathews heard there was a sale on purses and he had to go during the third period.
Probably sad he can't go and play in Arizona anymore. The guy is a p****.
lol savage comment
Amazon messed up his order for new golf clubs. He's playing in a tournament next week so the issue had to be fixed immediately.
Lmaoooooooooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha Matthews is basically a woman!!!
They got regular season players.... and the beauty of this is Marner and Tavares both have 1 more year on contracts with full no trade. So they basically gotta run it all again for one more year. The coach is fired immediately after they are eliminated
i was amazed keefe actually made it to the playoffs I seriously thought he was going to be gone early in the season.
Keefe has been extended
😂😂😂😂@@OWlsfordshire
Neither are the bruins
@@OWlsfordshire that don't mean anything. coaches can get extended then fired.
Im a Leafs fan. Im not frustrated or angry. I expected this. Im resigned. These are the Laughs. A couple years ago i was frustrated and angry, now i just find it funny. Go Laughs go! 🍁 😂
When you say “a couple of years”, you mean the 6 plus decades of mediocrity, right?
@@davidsumner8234 Well, yes and no. I believed in this core...until they lost to Columbus.
@@warriorofthewest3340 Losing to Habs after being up 3-1 did it for me.. but here I am, still hoping for a miracle😐
@@krob5375 In some ways I'm the same, as they are still my team and I'm hoping for a miracle...I'm just not depressed or sad anymore, as I expect them to lose.
@@davidsumner8234 They came close in the Gilmour years. I guess it was more important you make your comment simplified, than accurate.
I show up for work when I'm sick or have a migraine, and I only make 75k/year. Imagine missing playoff games for these reasons when making 10+ million/year. This core is so buttery soft, it's an embarrassment. Playoff performers regularly play through horrific injuries and broken bones, but not these losers - they should rename this team the Queefs.
I show up sick, work 2 jobs for 20 grand less than you... one full and one part time.
Yup back in the day you go get it popped back in take a pain killer and get back out there
I barely make 50000$/year could you imagine...
Not a "playoff" team... they're not a TEAM
They are one good player...during the regular season (Matthews)...and a bunch of nobodies.
Obviously they are a team. Obviously they are in playoffs. What part is hard to understand?
They have consistently been one of the top regular season teams in the EAST for a while now. But playoffs is always a different story. Those are simply facts.
It just sounds good lol not a lot of substance though.
The part where you progress, as a team, and in the playoffs. 8 years of the same shit. Spinning their tires, and showing absolutely no signs of improving.
I remember seeing that guy yawning and thought I’d definitely see him tomorrow on the highlights lol.
You’re the “one liner Theo Von” of sports, this channel is absolute gold
The forwards can't score, the defenders can't defend, and the goalies can't tend the goal. Worst of all, the coaches can't coach. The whole thing is a dumpster fire and needs to go. Imagine the amount of first round picks you could get for Matthews, Marner and Nylander.
All of them have no trade clauses. They'd have to force them to resign and because of that lose all negotiation power and terrible draft picks (which are never a guarantee).
I don’t see many GM’S giving up any 1st rounders for any of them. Most of them build their teams to win cup’s, not finish 3rd in their division…
You forgot Shanahan
As a habs fans I love it….
Please, the Habs are a Provincial tax write off who can only hire French speaking coaches! And the latest has zero coaching experience, even at Pee-Wee level! Would rather stick it out as a Leaf fan!
Yeah stick with ur leaf team at least the habs got a cup final and 2 division final in the last 15 years. We love our peewee coach he is good with the Kids and this is what we need in a rebuild. And the peewee coach got more stanley cup than your leaf roaster
@@bobbymauro3721 ya ya whatever gets you to sleep at night but what I do know is habs and leafs have played one playoff series in the past 30 years and Montreal beat you with a goalie that had one good knee and a drug problem and we’re down 3-1… the leafs are shit
@@craigugulini3409 and what did it cost you? Everything…
@@bruh4977 sorry can’t hear you from the bottom of the league standings…again!
Meanwhile back in the West, the Canucks have a 3-1 lead, they pulled their third string goalie (his first playoff game) to score 2 times with the man advantage, then win the game in under 2 min OT. Great heart, what a team, Canada's team
Hes 8 cm dialted?! 😂😂
awesome!
DIALTED
I love how Boston purposely lost to Ottawa the last game of the season to guarantee they play Toronto
And Washington the game before. So far, looks like it was a great move.
They didn't.....they had like 30 shots in the 3rd period that game. They were trying to win
We do a massive amount of tomfoolery

Go easy on the mentally impaired guys
Too bad both teams can't lose this series. Hopefully the Boston Gooins will be eliminated in next series - and I dislike both Florida and Tampa but gotta go with the lesser of 2 evils
Been a Leafs fan for 66 yrs. I’ve had enough of the excuses. Shanahan, Keefe, Samsonov, Marner, Reaves, TJ Brodie & Domi should be GONE! And that’s just the start of the fire sale! Marner’s glove throwing tantrum was childish and embarrassing! The 67’ Cup winning Leafs team are rolling over in their graves watching this travesty! Wouldn’t give you 5 cents or waste my time going to watch them play! Oh wait a minute…..would have to take out a second mortgage to afford attending a game. I’m done with them!
I hope the leafs don't change a thing.
thanks boomer terry :)
Being a dyed in the wool *Buffalo Sabres* fan, neither the *’bleep’* do I. 😋
i do. im actually hoping they sign another forward to a $10+ million contract
Only thing they can do is resign everybody to an extension. Also, make sure to keep Reaves (I don't understand how he's still in the league. A zamboni driver is better than reaves).
Fans of 31 NHL teams do too :D
Love that the leaf players got in a catfight on national tv 😂😂
Love the video, as always. I think people are forgetting one important thing about this series: The bruins are a really good team. They finished solid above the leafs in the season. It’s not that the leafs are tanking. They are facing a better team, statistically. I am a Habs fan BTW
Yea all the hate is typical social media shit. Im a ducks fan so i know what pain is and this is just unfair lol
@@derekjay.swell in the minds of leafs fans they deserve to be handed the cup every season, that’s why they get hate
You're giving excuses to a team that has probably the most elite offensive core in the league. They had a player who had 69 goal in a season who's pretty much a ghost during these playoffs. They get stomped every playoffs. It's to the point that even if they qualify, the league should prevent them from participating, because they're taking the spot of a more deserving team.
they have the ability to adjust but dont
@@md20062not all Leaf fans. Some of us try to be realistic. I gave them a 50/50 shot to win this series. But between Nylander missing 3, Auston not being himself, Marner still avoiding contact like he's made of glass and the goaltending being suspect.. it's not looking good. Again..
Love Coach Julien at the beginning 🤣
If Leafs lose this series in 5 games (or even in 7 games), Shanahan and Keefe need to go. Right now Shanahan's dream and goal to bring a Stanley Cup champion to Toronto is a 10 year nightmare. Why no one is seeing this is beyond comprehension. In addition, they need to make major player changes in the off season because this chemistry of Leafs players isn't get the job done when it matters the most - during the playoffs. - - - > Just can't see Bruins losing 3 straight in this series with 2 of them played at home for Leafs to pull of an upset < - - -
I’d sign Marner to 14 million a year x 6years if I were the Leafs
You joke about it but Marners current contract even though its a $10.9M cap hit, it was front loaded his salary was $16M a year for the first 2 years
LoL Don't forget the no trade clause.
what are you smoking can you send me a pound !
@@bobknight6394Obviously, he is joking.
Sir you must stop drinking the bong water
Loved the game last night!! Bruins have stranglehold on series now and after what happened to them last season im sure theyre guna be extremely motivated to finish the job on Tuesday back at home in Beantown!!?? If i was Bruins id probably roll with Swayman again!? Probably might as well ride him for at least rest of this series since hes been absolutely incredible vs Leafs then maybe go back to rotation in next round!? Swayman and Marchy r living rent free in the heads of the Leafs!!!!
When the playoffs came around. There is no "easier" team to beat than the leafs !!
Hey Matthews... my kid looks up to you ffs... He's 10 and plays Squirts... He played in Districts when he was SICK and scored a game winner in the shootout... Again... HE'S FRICKEN 10 🤨
LMAO!
How do you fix it? You start with Shanahan first thing, and go on down the line. Problem is, damage is done. All their albatross contracts, are full of NMCs. So, there is no fixing this. You just have to let it bleed out, and just make sure it doesn't happen again............ I guess. 🤷♂
Meh theres ways to move guys even with NMC's. It has happened before, it just comes down to whether the Leafs management have the balls to do it or not. And if current management doesnt posses those balls, then Keith might have to bring in entirely new management that *can* and *will* move on from both Marner and probably Tavares and move into the future with Auston and Willy, because those are the guys you committed to past next season.
Start with ownership
Dubas laughing at the mess he left.. Pens fans got a taste this year already.
What mistakes are you laying at Shanahan's feet?
'Stormin off the stage like hes Axl Rose in St. Louis' 😆
Ive seen a lot of spicy jokes about Samsonov on that JVR goal but the 8cm dilated chirp was by and far the best.
As a Leafs fan, there's no way this team was a Stanley Cup contender. All I wanted was a couple of weeks of good playoff hockey. The issue with watching this team is the lack of drive they play with. Great teams figure out a way to win. On paper, the Leafs look like the more skilled team. Unfortunately for the Leafs, statistics don't determine heart.
Maybe Leafs just move to Arizona??
JVR what a move, that's great hockey instincts, I don't blame Sammy, he's gotta cover the backhand to the post, sneaky beauty.
_"HIM and TABARNAC two on 0..."_ LMFAO! You ARE the master! 🤣🤣🤣
The Toronto Maple Laughs! 🤣
Toronto Make Beliefs
Don't change anything. The Leafs are making tons of cash, the stadium is always full with lots of concessions and merchandise being sold. Toronto is all about making the cash and that's exactly what they are doing. Keep on trucking...
Pretty much this. They boys don't hate to lose. They are getting paid. The Cup does not seem to matter to them.
“Storm off the bench like he’s Axl Rose in St. Louis.” Damn that’s a niche reference did not see that coming
Junkie, you are an incredibly talented commentator. Brilliant as usual. Keep up the great work.
The Leafs have a load of problems. The core 4 eating up half the cap so they can't afford anybody else that's great, like say a goalie. Coaching. I'm sorry but down by 2 with 4 minutes left, you either go 1st Line, 2nd Line, 1st Line, 2nd Line or you double shift them. 3rd and 4th lines should be benched. Powerplay: can't score. PK: Can't stop the opposition from scoring.
Remember when the Habs were down 3-1 to the leafs 3 years ago and came back to win the series? Yeah, well the Leafs ain't doing that
they dont got price.
@@cartorius Price was that entire playoff run, possibly the best performance I've ever seen.
Yeah, Price was like 1999 Hašek all over again.
Remember Bruins were up 3-1 last yr and panthers came back to win the series? U think the leafs can do that? 😂
Remember when the leafs were good in playoffs? Yeah... Me neither.
Great video junkie . Go Bruins Go !! Lol its simple we ve been say it since they had these top stars . It s killing them , they pay the price with the their defense and goalies . Cant spend what they need on their ass end. Most teams nhl are lucky to have 1 top goal scorer. Edmonton is the only other team but they only have 2 ,but even thats too much and they pay for it in the assend and goal8es as well. But their situation is bad ,but not as bad as leafs. So i dont have any sympthy for them . They want 4 top guns thats the price you pay. Lol I love it !!!
In a podcast recently with Chris Nilan when asked what the Canadians can do to get better he said “get more men on the team. Those mean, steak eating, shot blocking, sacrificing bricks of leave it all on the ice men. THATS what the leaves need to fix their team
I told it before the playoffs. The leafs could have went after a proper goal tender, Corey Perry for nothing practically and another forward that plays with grit (that in your face) kinda player. They didn't get any.
Yup me to, like i don’t understand how triveling or however you spell it, doesn’t come in an rattle and shake some things up, we got lybushkin LOL made Benoit a permanent fixture after loosing Klinberg, and sat and did nothing else.. it’s crazy we didn’t at least go out and get a real starter I wouldn’t even of minded James Reimer back at this point, he pushed Boston to 7 LOLOL
@@locdawg1906 Dude I am not even a Leaf's fan. Nor a Bruins fan either but for the past few years we see Toronto with the flare of scoring but in the playoffs most teams that go far have a decent goal tender and a very disciplined defensive core. Heck Montreal had less in scoring goals compared to most other teams but went to the finals with grit and a great defensive core and a very lucrative shut down line. They ran out of gas at the end since they were not even meant to be in the finals.
@@locdawg1906 i'm not going to knock Benoit, he done way better then I thought he was going to do. but holy hell how did they not go snatch up Perry? should have also traded out sammy and tj brodie for a goalie who can at least make the easy saves and not leave the 5 hole so open you could fly a B-2 bomber though.
@@robertlavigne9828 well the thing is that they dont score either. 9 playoff games in a row they scored 2 or less goals before scoring 3 against boston and winning the game 3-2. now they are once AGAIN on the streak 2 in a row with 2 or less goals scored.

@@CRose9205 Solution, cheer for a real team.
I think it's important to compare the Leafs with other teams. Florida 2023: Down 3-1 in the First Round? Win next 3 games, Finals appearance. Boston 2023: promising season, but an early exit and many saying they're done? Compete for the Presidents trophy the next year Tampa 2024: Down 3-0, a situation they've never been in? Win 6-3 to stay alive Maple Leafs 2017-2023: ONE series win in 6 tries. Montgomery, Cooper, and Maurice have ALL found ways to get their team going. Keefe and Babcock almost outright REFUSE to do so. The players also seem uninterested.
in playoffs you PAY TO PLAY not like the regular season where you play for pay
Sheldon Queef is a joke. After last night he shamelessly said "nothing wrong with the effort tonight". He only lasted this long because of his buddy Kyle Dubas. Zero accountability with star players, they walk all over him. Only silver lining is he'll be fired when the season ends.
The Leafs GM screwed up big time this year by not upgrading the Leaf Core 4. This Core 4 is the common denominator of years of playoff disappointments. 😀
Problem is Shanny won't allow the GM to "move on" from the core 4. Dubas found that out the hard way. Shanny has to go 1st. then allow the GM to do what needs done.
Loved this recap it was amazing very funny . Nice one dude :)
as a Bruins fan... this is gold
Regular season Leafs brought the puck into the o zone. Playoffs they are using the 'chip n' chase'. It's NOT working Sheldon!
Sheldon has no answers and isn't a capable, NHL calibre playoff coach.
Wait for 🔥PLAYOFF BERT 🔥 they said: -1 goal via lucky deflection off his skates -1 secondary assist -3 dumb penalties that kill momentum -55 minutes spent fondling Marchand and flopping
Its gonna be quite the off season for the buds. I dunno where we go from here…. Keep willy and matthews, fire coach and everyone else is up for grabs
Here’s an idea. The Leafs should go out and get tough character guys like Domi and Reaves! Yeah, real admirable warriors who bring a team together and toughen up the atmosphere. They could NEVER be a detriment to the team in the playoff. Check! Hire a yes-man coach who just sits pie-eyed behind the bench and starts bitching about what every other team in the league does. Check! Bertuzzi was their only real worthy signing, but even he is in over his head. He’s a complimentary piece, not a star. And Tavares? Has this guy done anything to prove he’s the super star we’ve been spoon fed since he got there? Nice guy, but i’ve never seen him carry the team in any way.
the thing is that problem was never the toughness, goaltending (freddy was great) nor defense. Problem is and always will be the core. They simply dont care in the playoffs why? cause they have no heart all they ever care for was individual records and money.
Don't be a hater, remember their magical 2023 run to the 2nd round. Leafs fans will be telling their grandkids about it.
That's crazy... True.... But still crazy ... The idea that this is even a possibility let alone a probability; is insane
Lol. This is gold, Jerry, gold!
I was in Toronto that night it was embarrassing. I'm not a Leaf fan but I was embarrassed for them., their fans were literally acting like they had just won the cup lol.

"what do you do with this team if they lose in 5" You just trade / fire everyone. They all lack the will to win in playoffs. They need to learn that. And obviously no one is breathing that energy into the team. It's not by changing 1 part that it'll change. because that 1 part will get crushed by the overwhelming majority of people that learned that just sitting down in the face of adversity is easier... and you get paid anyway.
How can you trade players with bloated contracts who phone it in during the most important part of the season? You think the other GM's aren't noticing this?
Shanahan had a vision for the team that hasn't gone anywhere. Dubas fired himself to get outta town while the gittin was good. Keefe - they were afraid to fire him and pay the playoff loss price. Yup, fire them all and get a better vision for the team and see what players fit/don't fit that vision. Getting some high draft picks back would be helpful.

@Hockey Junkie Hey Matt! Hope you are doing well and enjoying the weekend! I was wondering if you and Gary are thinking of making a new episode for the fix podcast?
You make me laugh Every video. You are good 😂
Leaf fans are not the problem. I'm 53 years old and have been a loyal leaf fan all my life so If we are critical it's for a good reason. Both management and players are only in it to make money. All other reasons are secondary including winning and it shows. First Mathews signs an insanely huge contract. 13 million and change. He didn't even consider taking the same money he was making which was insane already. Then Nylander does even better with a 3 million dollar increase. I got news for you. Marner will be no different. Marner is making 10 million and he only scored 26 goals this season. He is also the most easily shut down in playoffs. Samsonov gets paid 3.5 million but he is a 1 million dollar goalie at best. The top 2 lines are usually cancelled out by the other teams 2 lines. It takes a full team to win the cup. Bad Coaching, bad Defense, bad goaltending and no offense. I wonder why we can win?
mitch makes $10.9M
Cant fix a team from loser town
51 years a fan. Id rather wash dishes than catch the next game. GO SALT LAKE CITY !
2:50 well said...how to fix the Leafs: fire Keefe, he is trying the same things that were not working during the regular season against Boston. Trade Timothy Liljegren, and Jake McCabe...the first defender is useless in the NHL, the second one is tough but gets caught too often...let Bertuzzi, Domi, and Edmundson are free agents after this season...let them go...Bertuzzi is ineffective, Domi takes too many dumb penalties, Edmundson has too many gaffes on defense. Someone needs to spend the offseason with Reaves training him on hockey basics. He means well, he works hard (which is more than I can say for our top 4 expensive players) just his skill level needs to improve as that 1st period giveaway was horrible...a shame we cannot trade Nylander and Tavares...see if either will wave their no trade clause...in goal Samsonov is inconsistent, Woll since his injury has been inconsistent, and Jones is not good enough yet so we need a starting goalie...yeah start there and then lets see what we have next year...this team was done since the trade deadline when we picked up not enough to help us on D...
My new favorite KZheadr
Maple Laughs = 🧊Titanic🚢🆘️ They sink whenever they hit the ice...😂🍁🤣
* inches dialated hahahhaha! Best announcer in the league our boy right here.
Well tunderin' he's from the same place as Bob Cole bye!
The "tabernak" got me laughing pretty hard
Hughey, , Dewey and Lewey, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cant even.
Aside from cap being tied up in 4 players they are missing a horse on the back end. Elite teams have a makar, fox, hedman, mcavoy, Duncan Keith in his prime, petrangelo, etc
The BEST way to fix the team would be to reward Marner with a 14M...Hm... 15.5M contract. + other such brilliant moves. Come on, do it TOR. SUCH great value I mean, god damn!
69 goals and not a single second round run!
My sons house league team did same. Expected the 2 better than average players to carry the entire team. Get to finals all they have to do is lock down those two players.
Too many high paid players not the depth as a Canucks fan I love Dakota Joshua. He would be someone I would go after. Your stars have to perform well in both playoffs and regular season.
It's up to the coach to develop a playoff system. If it falters, don't do line up changes but analyze why the system is failing and adapt accordingly. This is what NHL playoff coaches know. Too bad Keefe doesn't.
How do you fix the Leafs? Move them to Phoenix; I hear its a great hockey market.
passes to Tabernak XD good one
I told some Leaf fans signing Tavares would probably backfire. How I would fix it. I think I would keep Matthews and Nylander. Trade the two home boys if possible and get some good power forward for the first line and some other center with character for the second. Good goalie, beef up the defense a little. What they need is leadership, it's what's missing most and they need to find it outside the team. I would get Kadri back if possible, that would change things.
As a winipeg jets fan i feel your pain toronto were already lost every playoff to the avs by like 5 points
OK, saying Tabernak instead Pasternak made me spit out my sip of water! 😆
As an Islanders fan, I was relieved to see John Tavares go to the Leafs. Not surprised nothing of significance has happened in five playoff seasons, and this one will be no different.
I appreciate your accent very much
To answer: trade for toughness and have 4 deep lines. Package one of the young highly paid megastars…you can’t win with one super skilled line in the playoffs. Get a good defenseman or two. Draft speed, size and wreckless energy. Play a game that’s focused on taking away space all over the ice, with speed, grit and energy. Force mistakes.
Trade who? Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Reilly all have no trade clauses. They stuck with these contracts. Maybe you could get one to waive their NMC but your return is probably gonna be shite with limited bargaining power
Matthew's is hurt very clear to see! Too much offensive star power and not enough physical fire power we have seen this before! The leafs have a great offense but they lack defense and in playoff hockey defense rules you can lack offensive weapons and still win with physical toughness! This is not a coaching problem it's a G.M. problem! They need to trade one of there offensive stars (definitely not Matthews) and bring in a couple of good defensive players I am a die hard Bruins fan and I expected a tougher series! It's not over yet but I don't see the leafs winning 3 straight without a healthy Austin Matthews! No matter what happens in this series the next round will be tough Florida is a beast and the Rangers are a problem for anyone! Gotta love the NHL no matter what your team is ranked when the playoffs start if your team is clicking they have as good a chance winning the cup regardless if they are the 8th seed or 1st! Hockey is a timming game and good physical hard work is very disruptive! Still though the leafs offense is deadly when they are on their game my condolences to the Leafs fans your team seems to let you down every year! 😢 I don't know how far the Bruins will go I think they have a good chance to win the eastern conference because of how well Swayman is playing but it will be a battle the feeling in Boston is we want another offensive weapon but it's hard to complain when we are on the verge of eliminating the best offensive team in the world and is proof that great offensive teams are not guaranteed to advance in the post season!
Not sure what accent you have, but sounds a little irish. You are really funny. This was the best video that explains Leafs' struggles
The solution is to clear some salary cap by trading one of the top players. You don't need Matthew, Nylander, Marner and Tavares taking up salary cap and not producing as they should. Clear one or two of those bad bois and get yourself one or two good D's and perhaps a more solid goalie than Samsonov. That's about it. There's no secret recipe here. Whoever doesn't jive with Matthews and Marner in that top 4 quatuor needs to go. If Marner and Matthews can't play together, you trade one of the two. The problem for the Leafs isn't a problem of talent. They got plenty of that. They just don't seem to have any heart and chemistry. Too many big egos on that offense, not enough leadership. Oh, the other problem is that they got no trade deals with most of those players so they *have* to keep running this team for another year.
Yeah Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares and Reilly all have no trade clauses. They pucked atm
Looks like a good Spring for golf in Toronto. Go go black and gold!
