The Cubs came to mind for me, too. So happy for them to finally get another pennant in 2016 although I’m an Orioles fan. Every season it’s the same, but obviously ever closer to a SCFV. For their sake, I hope they scout well for an up-and-coming free agent goalie, coerce M16 and possibly T91 to give the Penguins, Sharks, Ducks or even The Yeti a chance, and build a couple of solid defenders, at least a dependable two-way player like Kessel or any of the Staal brothers. Whatever they do, cherish Domi like the treasure he is, or watch his speed, skills and grit go and win a cup for Florida, NYR or Vegas. Oh, and please sign 90David Ayres to at least a one year deal. Can most def count on him to come up clutch whenever so seldom needed.

100% you’ll never see the leafs win a cup the past 2-3 year was they’re only shot.

@@coastaku1954 in the regular season maybe. But 1 series win in what 19 years? Ya not bad at all 🤨

@@richarddesilets4947 At least we actually made the playoffs! The Buffalo Sabres haven't made the playoffs in like 13 seasons, the Penguins didn't make the playoffs either, and we survived longer in the first round than Tampa did. Be more optimistic, I hate Toxic Leaf Fans. Most Leaf fans are just Leaf Haters that buy tickets and buy the merch

I still have a good laugh at the expense of anyone who expected any other outcome from this team. The Leafs have been essentially the same for 8 years now, and they've failed in nearly the same way for 7 years in a row before this series. Why expect this season to end any differently?

No they don't. They blow their entire load on a handful of forwards that most of them completely dissappears come playoff time, then they forgets you need a decent defensive player too to prevent those choking games from finishing you off. Then we got their media, a decent season overall from the goalie and he's the best ever in the league. One game he gets no help from his teammates and media calls for him to never play in the league again. Things are getting old real fast, making it funny to watch Leafs fail even though the expectations on the team are way higher than what the team can deliver.

Compare that to how our team handled the final seconds of game 6 against the Nashville Predators Especially with how Tyler Myers blocked that shot It’s literally the difference between night and day

I saw that too. Zero hustle or effort to stop pasta. Just let him get the puck and go by with no resistance. Pathetic

If you look at the replay again, Pasta was calling for the play the second he gave the punk to Lindholm. Whether it was setup to abuse Marner or not, Pasta turned on the jets the second he gave up the puck. Was a set play all the way.

@@glgl7676it being a set play doesn’t change the fact that Marner didn’t even attempt to stay with Pasta, he floated his way back instead of putting in the effort to at least try and make a defensive play

I agree that Marner is not made for the playoffs. I don’t watch him a lot cause I’m a Rangers fan.. but I see a lot of ppl blaming the goal on Marner. He’s a Winger. He’s not a Center. Why would he get to a puck deep in the zone before a defenseman or a center?! Once they’re in the zone, his job is to cover the point. Unless Pasta was his man coming through the neutral zone, but I’m pretty sure he just hopped on from a change.

Yet here you are. 😜 I don't see how they get rid of Marner or Tavares. The best that can be hoped is they feel guilty enough to want to stay but sign the contracts they should have signed the first time around for next time. But I don't see that happening either. I think they are just lost to free agency after another melt down next season. Shanahan and Keefe have to go. A coaching staff that can't innovate, when a power play either has been figured out by the opposition or has lost some spark, has to go. Also, I perceive Keefe as a problem for the lack of toughness and willingness to tangle. The game looked to be going into skill and beautiful play.

Same here, i'm 56 and i gave up on them around 1980 when i turned 13, i was smart enough by that age to see the team would never win, and it's not about managment, it's not about what players they have, it's the stupid fans in this city and the over emphasis they put on the team. The build them up every year into thinking they are superstars, when in reality they haven't had a top tier team since the 60's and speaking of.. the only reason the Leafs have 12 cups in their back history is because the y all came prior to expansion when there were only 6 teams! ... 6 teams! big deal! so winning a cup back then was like just winning your own division nowdays. The cup stats should have an asterik beside them and start in the days post expansion when it hit 30 teams. The leafs have 0 cups since the league expanded to 16 teams in 1968. Pathetic.

if im the leafs i eat 50% on marner no problem. its his last year and they need to get the best haul for them they can. hell get a 3rd team in there too.

I’d say you are pretty naive. Managers will look at a talented player that regularly gets close to 100 points and think a change in environment will be enough. Getting a guy before a bidding war can break out next year and offering an 8th year on a deal has value. The issue will be getting Marner to waive, not finding suitors.

He's not a gamer

Ever heard of Theo Fleury? Dude was smaller than Marner and had way more heart and balls. Marner is a scared bitch who won't go into the corner, won't go into the corners = can't be relyed on to help out in big games. Get rid of him and get a man not a child

Ive been a fan of 16 since we drafted him. Watched the mem cup where he was dominant in those 3 games. Its obvious his game doesnt translate to the post season and he needs to go.

The problem is toronto could win if they actually had those regular season scorers show up. They didn't lose because of a defensive weakness. They lost on the lack of offense. Also what do you mean "high priced talent?" There is no world where boston would ever trade ullmark to toronto, nor does toronto have assets to send boston.

@@JohnSmith-le7zw Well ok, Toronto was the second best team scoring wise in the regular season, IDK where your getting 4th. Boston was 5th defensively as well, so that's 2 numbers that were wrong already. also as for the pedantic argument of "average" there are 32 teams in the league, average would be around 16, and if I told you Boston was rank 19th best offensively you'd %100 call that below average, but 13 is equally far apart from 16, so I'd call certainly call that above average. But you can do all the mental gymnastics you want, you calling them "very weak" just doesn't make any sense at all. Point is, their offensive just doesn't show up for the playoffs. There are teams where their offensive does show up (Colorado, Edmonton, Florida, Carolina, New York), and those teams are very good. Toronto Needs offensive players that can deliver in the postseason. Or put more succinctly, they need better bang for their buck.

As a long suffering Canucks fan, I totally agree with you. GM Alvin and Rick Tocchet have been absolutely instrumental in the turn around Vancouver has had. The change of culture from top to bottom in the Canucks Organization over the last 1.5 years has been miraculous. If the Canucks don't move past the second round, I'm actually not going to be upset about it because this season has gone far beyond any expectations and the future looks very promising.

Well said!

I'm not convenienced Edmonton nor Vancouver has what it takes to go all the way. The remainder west looks deadly as ever

Connor McDud also fails in the playoffs. Hope you aren’t thinking that McDud and Draisitl will win the Cup.

4 fucking times to the same team in the last 10 years....
