Babcock may have been abrasive, but he clearly recognized the problems we now see in Mitch Marner. He understood that Marner approached hockey with a carefree attitude reminiscent of playing in a peewee league, and he attempted coaching techniques to instill a more disciplined approach from a young age. While Babcock's methods were flawed, his insight back then revealed Marner's shortcomings when it came to playoff intensity and determination. Bottom line, men win cups. The Leafs don't enough of them.

The most honest takes from a former NHL player! Go ROSEY Go!

wow...first time I seen a guy kind of in the media speak his mind to that extent....way to go Rosie.

Rosey CRUSHED it. Amazing.

Keefe had the nerve to say "nothing wrong with the effort"

This is why O'Reilly did not resign.

Most epic leaf rant ever!

Bro rants for 5 minutes straight then says "I'm at a loss for words tonight." 🤣

Marner throwing it over the glass against the habs said it all. Was afraid to get hit

Thank you for saying this in this manner. Couldn’t have put it better myself. I’m 30 been watching them since I was 8 and I’ve never watched a team quit this often. Piss poor effort. Can’t even do rookie shit right at this point. The PP forget about it. Burn it the fuck down. Everyone’s for sale except for Matthew’s who gets the C.

I love Darcy Tucker and Shane Corson!!! Awesome passionate players!!

Talking about guys like Tucker, Clarkie and Corson. In the 93 playoffs media was reporting Dougie’s arms were black and blue from the whacks and hacks he took and this was before they played the Kings.

According to Keefe you couldn't question the effort tonight. Just a crazy take. What game was he watching.

Wow, Jay Rosehill nailed it on Marner. I've thought this for 5 years!! As a Bruins fan I say you deserve more in Toronto as the Marquis franchise of the NHL......

Sheldon, look buddy... May 1st Buh bye

Love your honesty Rosie! I appreciate that. I’ve been a Leafs fan for ages and Marner fan since he came to us. But I’ve gotten to the point that I can’t justify his attitude and performance during the playoffs. And it’s not just him. Why can other teams bring it to a new level for the playoffs when ours actually regresses? It’s so embarrassing and pathetic.

Huge oilers fan. I can tell you we’re not loving what’s happening to you guys. You deserve better. I’ve dreamed of a Leafs/Oil final forever. It hurts me as a. oilers fan to see what you’re going through.

Jay rosehill should be coach

Well done Rosie. My sentiments exactly on Marner.

There’s spittin fire and then there’s riding your dragon burning down the kingdom. Thanks Jay.

Trade Marner to the PWHL

No more Shanahan-gans!

Does Rosie coach? Hire him next year so he can slap these guys to wake em up 😂

The whole "Give a Shit meter" reigns supreme here, well said!

That's why I don't waste my time watching the season games, only the games that matter.. the truth comes out.

Sammy in net is heart breaking

Is everyone here a (born again) Leaf Troll or Leaf Hater - or is it just now finally ok to say the truth in this chat?😀 Hey where are the Leaf Fans who are the regular name callers? Why isn’t everyone here being called Leaf Trolls or some German Medical term - because one side cheers and while the losers are upset in every game. 😀 Move Mitch to LA so he can play with PLD. Leafs core 4 aren’t playoff material. Why are there four $11 Million Leaf forwards? At least they are good in the regular season. 😀Matthews belongs on the wing. Only one more game and Mitch tees off for his spring golf.

Nylander missed 3 games because of a "migrain" 🤣...The Maple Softs...

As a kid years ago my favourite Halloween costume was a leaf jersey with a brown paper bag over my head. It seems some things just never get old!

They say the fans aren't loud enough really give us something to cheer about for more than a minute.

I always come here during playoffs. He is a good fan. Not a homer at all. Very fair and honest. He just tells it the way it is. Much respect.

I'm not even a Leafs fan but this guy Jay is just fantastic. I really enjoyed his input.

The PWHL players play with more effort and heart than the leafs do

This is an all time rant

All I want to know, is who is the leader on this team. Who fires them up? To me there is no leader.

It’s not Mariner’s fault, he’s who he is. It’s management’s fault for keeping him and this core together for so long. Time to fire Shanahan and break up this core.

I'm not loving on Babs but he was quite public about wanting The Leafs to pick Hanifin over Marner.

Matthews had 17 goals against true playoff teams, 9 goals against wild card teams and 43 goals against non-playoff teams. He feasts against the scruff of the league during the regular season but he can't do it against the real teams in real hockey. Leafs are pretenders all the way.

Hopefully, Treliving has now seen enough to know what most of us knew for years...and that is, this core has no heart, won't battle and will give up when it gets hard. Please blow this non-playoff team up.. groundhog day needs to end!

God I hope Pasta gets like a hat trick and just puts the Leafs outta their misery lol don’t even give the fans a bit of hope again

Shanahan created this aloof culture. He should be dismissed 1 minute after Game 5.

cryin on the bench like a 5 yr old bahahaha

Amazing, Rosie.

No one can convince me these players care about anything but lining up their next commercial shoot.

Elimination in Boston with KerKraft blasting ...... fml I can't handle this team anymore.

As a Bruins fan I still have so much sentiment towards what's being said about the heart that's shown in these current leaf's players. Leaf's are are an original 6 and I would love to see them get back to where they belong. (In the meantime let's stop bitching about ref's.... goes both ways 😉)

First playoff game i ever went to forked up the money and it was so disappointing to see what happened tn i hope everyone is sick and they just don't want to say it

Keefe is as good as GONE. and he knows it.

Rosy was hammed and went ham! Good on ya rosy its what were all thinking!

Finally Jay; your honestly came out; I've been waiting for you a long time to admit the Leafs true status! .I divorced the Leafs after Boston game 7 in 2013!!! The leafs are no better now!! Yes, I say get rid of Marner. The core 4 are not a real family, and lack the hunger to win. Get rid of Keefe!!! The Coach is way to passive!! I really do like Willy!! We need much better goal tending! Sammy is not the answer, and neither is Woll! Mathews and Marner have great regular seasons and have a history of not showing up in the playoffs!!

A tale of two captains: Brad Marchand cranks it up to 11 when the playoffs start and becomes as clutch as David Ortiz. Meanwhile, John Tavares disappears and makes Toronto wonder why he wears the captains C.

How dare you guys question their effort ....they spend so much time pre game getting dressed to the nines to walk in pretty. That requires so much effort

Been searching for "third man" didnt know it changed... I've commented in past videos, I really loved watching your takes even though I'm a lifelong, die-hard Bruins fan. The Leafs just cant beat the Bruins, especially with Sway in between the pipes. Go Bruins. I feel bad for YOU, but thats as far as I can go. I dont know what it is about you, but i like you, i don't enjoy your pain, but Dangle? I love his pain. Lol

As a Bruins fan we deal with watching a superstar like Pastrnak constantly try to enter the zone alone and try to finesse his way through 3 players instead of letting the play develop and pass the puck. It's playoff hockey and the toughest teams win. The Leafs came out great adding Bertuzzi, Domi & Reeves to punch teams in the mouth. Notice that the Leafs turned it on when Matthews went out? Too many finesse type goal scoring premadonna's up front. The Bruins have only 1 with Pastrnak and the Panthers have 1 in Barker. After that performance I'd be asking if maybe Matthews is a huge problem for the Leafs in the playoffs? As long as he's there quitting with a tummy ache you will all lose your minds for the rest of his contract.

Mathews will score 60 next season and rest in the playoffs again

They should bench these four core players: Mathew, Marner, Nylander and Riley. During the regular season, when the team did not have some of these players, they always won, when these players were back, they started losing 😂

Ok im calling it here 1. Keefe and Shanny are done 2. Marner gets traded 3. Tavares once hes done his contract he becomes rental with leafs 2mill 4. Sammy gets traded, hes done

This is therapy for me today. All facts here thanks boys for the validation

This team needs a total overhaul…top down. First thing fire keefe and shanahan. Tell jt and marner to lift their no moves

It is so obvious.....let me ask you this.... If you make millions (with no accountability)and have a chance for 5 months off without being bruised and beat up and enjoy the whole 5 months...OR... play your guts out and get beat up and bruised possibally playing until the end of June with only 3 months off plus losing a month to heal......; which would you choose? = LEAFS MENTALITY

So awesome guys!! They won’t tell the truth like you guys on Sportsnet.

So is the Stanley Cup parade cancelled?

Chara was bullied and forced to become a fighter because of his size. No one expected him to be anything other than a stupid goon. He was given the C because he pushed himself to be more than that, he fought to create a locker room where everyone felt welcomed and mattered. There are no rookies in the Bruins locker room, only first year team mates. Bergeron was drafted in the second round and had to fight to fight through concussions. He changed fought hard to be a defensive menace and realized the importance of two-way play. He was the face of a franchise for years and took discounts to keep the team in playoff contention. He told management no when they wanted to bring in a guy who skill wise was really good, but is an asshole and bullies disabled people. He played through a punctured lung and broken rib. Marchand was drafted in the second round and because of his size had to make a name for himself being a pest. He had to fight and earnchis reputation as a skilled winger. He adapted his game to change and he has had to struggle for every ounce of respect given to him by the NHL and fans. He also is the face of NHL is For Everyone, and regular speaks out to help people who are less privileged than himself despite the hate it gets him from bigots. Tavares was a first overall pick who strung his previous team along and hamstrung them because he wouldn't tell them his plans. He actively tried to sink the team he was a captain of and he bragged about it with a picture of him in pajamas. He was gifted the C his first day in Toronto because he is John Tavares. It obviously takes an immense amount of skill and dedication to be a number one overall pick and be the face of multiple franchises. But attitude, personality, and character is what teams rally behind, not skill. You look at the Bruins and they say regularly that they love each other and want to fight for each other. Imagine if you had the skill of the Leafs and a captain that could actually rally them together like Chara, Bergeron, or Marchand.

The Core Fore! never disappoint ... about that time of year for them to shine their golf clubs again.

6:01 for the Rosehill rant for anybody searching

If Mitch Marner's playing style had been like Brayden Point's playing style, he would have been a hero in Toronto. He is so clueless!

Oh come on, it's not that bad ..... they scored a goal ! 😐

I said at the end of last season, that the Leafs would be on their way to the Golf Course again in 2024!!! Never bet money on the Leafs!!!

As soon as Tavares left the Islanders they started to make the playoffs on a regular basis and that’s who the Maple Queefs choose as a captain. JT curse will live on for years, hope they resign him for big bucks.

Love the show guys…as real as it gets! This team has mishandled since the run in 2004 but more recently since MLSE hired no experience shanahan…if the president doesn’t know what he’s doing how can anyone else. It’s all about $$$ not about hockey…it’s a shame they are blessed with a die hard fan base otherwise this team would be somewhere in the USA 🇺🇸

Earlier in the week Brian Burke was praising Marner up and down. Is he delusional? how can we get such polar opposite opinions from professional hockey men?

Leafs have the Bruins right where they want them!

Doctor pulled Matthews, you can’t have your franchise player crapping his pants on the ice.

You two glue bags are hilarious. Keep up the great work 🤣

This makes me so happy.

46:25 exactly what the Canucks did. Go Canucks Go.

Maple laughs

Babs loved Hyman and hated Mitch… we all get it now Time to clean house. Shanny needs to be accouaccountable for Dubas

Thanks Rosie! Your a whole lot of Rosie !!!!

No leadership. Taveras can’t be the captain. Just look at Marchand@ 7.5 mill. Who was the better leader on the ice last night. Marchand or Taveras making 11 mill. per.

I said Bruins in 5 hoping to be wrong as a Leafs fan. I got called out saying I am not one… maybe it’s because I knew how pathetic of an effort our boys would give. They don’t care and give up because they can’t beat the Bruins and hate to say it but, I was right. There’s always next year….

Clue… the players don’t care what the fans think

Rosey you ROCK!!

There are no men on this team. Is there anyone on the Leafs that reminds you of Wendel Clark? Nope.

10 years of Brendan Shanahan = 1 playoff series win. He gotta go. Enough. Get rid of coach Keefe and do a serious change with the roster. Enough is enough. I didn't waste my time watching the game because I know this roster/ personnel isn't a playoff team.

Leafs need an abrasive coach who can control the players. They had one: Mike Babcock. He was too hard on Mitch so management fired him. They hired a "players coach", Keefe instead.

What's the captain's responsibilty in all of this?

Good ole Leafs :D

What you said. I have no more words for this organization, 50+ years for this organization is pathetic. If this city was not one of the original6 teams it would have been moved by now.

can you imagine what it would be like to actually play a playoff game for the leafs? what a nightmare. Who would want that? THAT's why you lose, and why you will always lose no matter who or what is brought in. Damned no matter what you do. You cant win playing for an org this way.

1000% agree with Rosey. Marner needs to be moved. he's fkn useless with no heart or urgency.

Ultimate move. Use marner to get to the playoffs. Then bench him

I guess it's now obvious why Ryan O'Reilly got the fuck out of town

Everyone knows what's going to happen right ?? We are going to come back and be heart broken in game 7! That's what they do .....bet it

It's ultimately up to the players to give the coach options.🤬🤬🙏🤔 I here your frustrations.

This was sickening and has permanently deformed my attachment to this team. I couldn’t believe my eyes

Jay being buzzed going off is the most satisfying thing ever.... somebody inject jay into the locker room.... I sware they need a real man leading the charge and not some PR trained lifeless dude... and I love JT & Mitch.

awesome that they give everybody a no trade clause, so same core until contracts expire and rebuild starts. Watch them give Keefe a 5 year extension after exit

Wrong coach. Wrong captain. I can only imagine how good this time would be -- in the Playoffs! -- with Peter Laviolette at the proverbial helm.

Put Marner on waivers let some stupid team pick him up then trade Nylander and Matthews and rebuild the correct way this time
