​@@artystaarBig whoop!

i beg to differ, they felt like losing in 5 before the series started

Best comment of the night!😂😂😂

Why do people exclude him in this? The guy is a ghost every year in the playoffs

I think he was demanding a trade.

@@RM-we7px at this point why should they care someone else can take this 13mil cap dump and hope for playoff success

NO34 hit goal no70!! he did what he wanted to do :) another selfish season!!! Now he will be ready for 2024-2025 season RIP LEAFS FANS

It is a good sing. For DeBrusk, that is.

Prior to the game these 2 players had 6 goals in the playoffs through 3 games Zach Hyman The ENTIRE LEAFS TEAM 😂😂😂

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.

watch marner do it next year on a different team, that would be the icing on the cake.

@@drumitar I could say that about Nylander and Matthews. Marner, no.

The pain never fucking ends!

​@@koshka02you do realize Marner is the only player to score tonight right?

@@Thisisbailie Thats not fair, Matthews had 1 shot, dominated this game.

It’s hilarious that the special teams is the worst thing about a team built around a ‘core 4’ 😂

They've had two 4 on 3's this series and blanked both. First one was to start second period in game 1

Agreed.

"This didnt look like a playoff game" - that's a perennial occurrence with the Leafs being down in a series, or even individual games when they're behind or they feel like they're choking. It's been like that for 7 years.

@@simon-pierrelussier2775 , 11 years.

And they have no chemistry whatsoever

@@Cheyennemae.A Agreed. It is the single most obvoious trait of any Leaf team. Been watching them since the 70's and maybe the Gilmour 93 team had a bit of chemistry, but it's the only one I can think of. This core has been together for plenty of time and they still don't seem to read well off of each other. Of course the line blender could be a part of that. The times they win are mostly due to to individual efforts. And those have been shut down tight by the Bruins. As a team, Keefe and the rest of them don't seem to have a clue what to do about it.

They refuse to try and build like the great teams of the 60s. Great goaltender, elite defense, and a good center core of two way forwards, and wingers that were capable two way wingers that could all put up decent totals. The whole team bought in and won 4 cups, same basic idea in the 40s. Since I'd say the 70s they've had a blender of meh, chemistry is a rare sight, hard work who needs it, and be exciting.

The Leafs play better on the road. They will win the next game.

I was out with friends tonight, but I went to a bar, and I saw parts of the game. They looked like they didn't care. This team needs to undergo some serious changes.

I love the leafs, here's hoping they don't make any personal or coaching changes in the off season.

Keefe always seems to be a step behind, I have no idea why the hockey world thinks he is an asset.

I'm guessing that unless the Leafs have some kind of miracle come back, Keefe is getting axed.

Won't keep it after ths year, no more deflecting from GM BC Boy Blunder ain't there no more.

The hockey PDOcast is such a good listen. Always on point I feel.

@@victorbaulk8506 It's not the hockey world. It's the 'experts' in Toronto.

They will stick with swayman

I sure hope that they do give Swayman this next game because he has definitely earned it,and I want to see the Bruins finish this series and get a break for a few days at home. While the Florida teams bang themselves up before starting the next series.

They could have played a fire hydrant in goal the first two periods.

While you're probably right about Swayman getting in the Leafs' heads, the specialty of that belongs to Marchand.

Leafs in 7

I hate the Bruins as any self respecting Habs fan but that was music to my ears!😂

A Canadian Heritage moment

@@sebastiencarrieres8825 Mine too. I'm a fellow Habs fan and this annual tradition always looks good on the bloated TML media.

Speaking as a nucks fan living in the GTA, exactly how I feel about the leafs. I used to have a laugh at the first round exits but this is ridiculous and I wanted them to beat Boston in round 1 for once if only for Steve Dangle's sake.

​@@azerix123Im curious how did you became a Canucks fan from the GTA?

it's what happens when your FO refuses to fire their lite beer drinking AHL coach

​@@joeynova9896probably his age. I live in the GTA and cheer Penguins.... When I started playing hockey Mario was my guy

@@joeynova9896 I was a contrarian in high school and it stuck, watching them in the mid to late 00's and watching the 2011 run at the end of my freshman year of university was fun.

The fans looked miserable in that arena.

I'm at peace with them bowing out tuesday...I'll have closure.

I’ll be honest, as much as I love to laugh at the leafs, I really feel sorry for you guys. As a Columbus/Cleveland fan, I know the pain. That game was the worst I’ve seen them play since game 7 against Montreal. You guys have to make some big changes, you’d be insane to run it back again next year. If this core was going to work, it would have by now. It’s not like you guys keep losing in the conference finals, you can’t even win more than 5 playoff games (and usually far less than that). It must suck so bad as a fan, I feel for you guys. They don’t deserve you guys

thank you for understanding man

Been a leafs fan for 54yrs and i haven't watched a full game all this season or this first round because I have no faith in them actually im disgusted in the whole organization 😢

Honest question: how can you keep cheering for a team that's been so bad or choking in the playoffs for so long?

@@simon-pierrelussier2775 it's a fair question lol. The first thing is that despite what one reads online or hears from maybe some media figures or something, I don't know any Leafs fans IRL who are under any delusions about this team. I live in Southern Ontario, my friends and family are Leafs fans, my co-workers are Leafs fans. But we all know the team (especially this current iteration of the team with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares and Rielly) are gonna choke in the playoffs every year. Especially at this point after 8 years of it right? No one is surprised or has any faith. So I guess that provides a layer of protection lol, can't be disappointed if you never expected any other outcome. Although a game and effort like last night is still painful to watch. Now, why not abandon the team completely? I'm in too deep lol. I'm 30 years old, grandpa had me in Leafs pajamas when I was 3 days old. I've invested in this team my whole life, and grew up loving them as a boy, watching games with family and friends. The early 2000s Leafs did give me some core memories as a kid, going on playoff runs (back when even though we couldn't win a cup, we could at least win a round or two lol). It's where I'm from, it's in my DNA practically lol. I certainly couldn't switch teams and replace that, though I have had other side teams that I like and cheer for too when the Leafs inevitably fail every year. Usually teams out West. I would love to see the Jets or Oilers break through. I liked the Blues core that won in '19, and had been cheering for them for years too. I liked the 2012-2014 Kings and their brand of hockey. I've liked Nashville over the years. I was happy when Ovi got his cup. All I can do is pipe dream that one day, the Leafs put together a team that can compete for a Stanley Cup, in my lifetime or my children's lifetime lol. But I do not trust to hope; it has forsaken these lands.

@@simon-pierrelussier2775 very fair question. I just wrote a really long and detailed comment breaking it down but it disappeared or didn't post. I'll shorten it to key points. 1) I (and the Leafs fans I know IRL here in Southern Ontario) are under no illusions about this team. The delusional Leafs fan is an online or media thing. We know they're gonna choke, especially this core after 8 years. 2)Why not quit? Born and raised, Southern Ontario. Leafs pajamas when I was 3 days old from my grandpa, whole Leafs bedroom as a kid. Watching the games with grandpa, family and friends. Community, family, history. In too deep. 3) Because of the last point, could never go all in on a new team. But I have side teams I cheer for when the Leafs fail me every year. Usually teams out West. I liked the Kings core that won those two cups and their brand of hockey, the 2019 Blues that finally won I'd been cheering for that group through the 2010s too. I've liked Nashville over the years. There's a brand of hockey those 3 organizations have had over the years that I like, heavy hard-hitting with good goaltending and defensive structure. Opposite of the Leafs. Would love to see McDavid and the Oilers break through, or the Jets. 4) Maybe one day the Leafs will put together a cup contender before I die. Or in my kids lifetime lol. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll be here if they do.

@@bjmw93 On 3 I support the teams with the most ex-Leaf players. Most teams have at least one.

@@bjmw93 I understand not being able to switch to another team, way too much invested. What I don't get is rewarding the organization regardless of performance. People keep watching year in year out and all product owners make trucks of money: no real pressure to win anywhere. Pressure has to come from the fans and the only pressure these people listen to is the one on the wallet. It's self-inflicted pain at this point, but anyway, you do you I guess.

I’m almost confident enough to bet money on that.

If Woll takes over, I can see Leafs winning games 5 and 6

The leafs have never looked so done. It’s 5 and goodbye

Not happening its 5 and goodbye!

Plenty of time to pick up popcorn from the store.

Or just the Benny Hill music..

@@camselle In the off chance you aren't joking, that's the name of the song that is the Benny Hill theme.

Good comparison.

And the Caps at least won some series. They just couldn't solve their second round demons against the Penguins and Rangers.

@@pomerlain8924 those penguin teams were insanely good, unfortunate 2nd round matchups

I don’t think they lack heart or effort, they lack a structure that can win in the playoffs. Partly because their forwards up front are so talented they can win in the regular season without a real attention to detail. A first time coach in the NHL is just not going to get buy in to a more defensive first structure when you can just outscore your problems. Of course when you have to play better Team orientated Teams in playoffs, you can’t win hockey games this way. It a flawed philosophy of their old GM and it just doesn’t work. They have to sacrifice two of their highly talented forwards (Tavares will be one of them because on July 1st his heavily weighted contract bonus will reduce his salary to 1M - Though his cap hit is high there are about half the teams who will have the cap room and love to only pay him 1M in cash - he will be traded in first week of July). I also think Marner will be traded at draft. He needs to play on a line with players who can make room for him if he is going to be effective in the playoffs. He also needs to get out the fishbowl that is Toronto, he wears it too much on his sleeve. Both will have some say in where they are going with the no movement clauses so the return will not be as high as people in Toronto will want but it will be addition by subtraction as the 22M in cap space will give the Leafs the resources to rebalance their roster. Hire a real experienced coach like a Joel Q and I think they should be a less flashy team but better set up for real success when it matters.

Lol ya were not exactly losing to prime Crosby and Malkin over and over. Its pathetic

Will mental health will benefit from never cheering for the Leafs.

They took lessons from the Canucks. :)

You would too... if you had a fan base like Toronto.

​@@dennis2376 I am going to let you in on a secret. Vancouver is winning their series 2 to 1.

@@dennis2376 at least the canucks can win games

You're asking how are the Maple Leafs being themselves... Have you watched them in playoffs these last few years?

47 points in 53 career playoff games says otherwise. What I think hurts Toronto is that no one on Toronto's 3rd or 4th line scare any playoff team they play. So shut down the top 2 lines, and you likely win.

@@csolivais1979 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, omg, you are priceless. 47 points in 53 playoff games? Did you even look at any of the players I mentioned and what they've done in the playoffs? On top of that, Draisaitl went 2+ rounds on one leg and still piled up 2 points per game. But yeah, it's the 3rd and 4th lines that aren't doing their part to carry the Leafs to victory.

Tried to sneak tkachuk in there 🤣🤣

​@@csolivais1979his scoring goes down in the playoffs, not only combined points but most importantly, goals. His stats in do-or-die games are absolutely abysmal. He's simply a regular season player along with Marner.

Marchant has eaten his lunch through out this series. Not a fan of him but when the rubber meets the road, the man shows up and plays. This year as captain, he is leading by example, just like Matthews but in reverse. Matthews is leading his team right into the off season, early as usual.

In ajax Ontario

Pulled the stuffing out, you mean.

.. yeah in a padded cell. His wife probably had to have him admitted to the psych ward.

@@NatPat-yj2or It's long overdue.

That poor teddy bear didn't have a chance against Dangle throwing his baby hands.

Yup there was no evident chemistry in the team which is not how you win

That's the thing, it wasn't spectacular, but a good, hard effort on the road in a playoff game. While not perfect, it was a very controlled and professional display of hockey

Nah man. On a Tuesday night of the regular season, Leafs play better.

He was screaming that Samsonov has "played his last game in a Leafs uniform" so...

Why did this have to be the team that introduced me to hockey? I became a hockey fan because of a Leafs game I saw in person, so I felt obligated to root for them alongside my hometown team. Then the Leafs drafted a guy from my hometown, Auston Matthews, and I felt like that solidified them as my 2nd team behind the 'Yotes. Now my hometown team is gone and the Leafs are regressing in the playoffs. Truly the worst year of hockey imaginable honestly.

I don't. They make a choice to continue to support this garbage, usually in the most insufferable ways possible. Look around any comments section and see them still blaming the refs and trying to trade guys with full NMC that were their heroes a week ago.

They need to relax. It’s just a hockey game; a TV show.

Classic Canadian fans - either canonize or demonize the goalie for game outcomes.

@@MisterCautionya if I was a goalie in the NHL I’d refuse to play for Toronto, you will be the scapegoat, how many different goalies have been cycled the past 5 years with the leafs?

Dangle wondering why samsonov is inconsistent, good one day, bad another. It's because he knows he has to pitch a shutout. He's like a pitcher with no run support and you wonder why is collapses in the 6th inning when the pitcher gives up 3 straight HRs. Maybe your 40 mil forwards should score.

What happened to the Leafs is that it’s easy to go from 30th in the league to 15th, because you’re passing 15 lousy & mediocre teams. Then it gets hard because the teams are better. When they got Matthews & Tavares around the same time they went from lousy to pretty good to quick. They needed another bad year or two to get one or two more top 5 picks to build a solid foundation, but they got stuck at pretty good and haven’t been able to move up from there.

@@RRaquello I’d have to disagree, our foundation was built for a few years, they just got brought up all at the same time. Yes maybe they got to good to quick, but that happens very often and the playoff experience can help young players. Nylander, Marner, Matthews, Liljegren were all drafted within 4 years of each other the big 3 got brought up full time in 2016-17 because of Matthews, we already had M. Rielly, F. Anderson, N. Kadri, those were our big 3 at that time to be the leaders. This team has Ego’s to many of them and non of them gel with each other.

So you must remember the Beatles, Neil Armstrong, the Vietnam War and some guy named Tricky Dick. Sadly, it will be another 57 years before the Leafs get anywhere near the Cup.

It’s not even winning a cup, you were 15 the last time the Leafs even made a FINALS appearance. That’s even worse. There’s been plenty of mediocre teams over the decades that have cobbled together a Cinderella run. The Leafs can’t even do that with the talent they’ve have had!!!

For more context, The Leafs have never won a Stanley Cup on color TV, LOL. I was alive when the Leafs last won, but was to young to remember it, and I’m 62.

It’s funny how guys become clutch and losers become winners when they leave the Leafs.

@RRaquello It smells funny , right ? Kind of like 55 years of shite ...

Marner no trade clause

@volsirk If he won't waive it, I'd consider letting him go

Marner Not the problem

@Choongulrich Okay, what do you suggest then? Re-sign everyone to huge cap hits and never change? Even if he isn't the problem, per say, this team needs a major shake-up.

Nothing's going to happen. So long as delusional Leafs fans fill up the ACC and MLSE continues to make money hand over fist, the business plan will stay the same. They will sell out every season home game. Every pro sports team who left town was always because they could not fill the stadium. The Leafs never have that problem.

Already is what their known for ... It's been 8 years!!

When did this BS about sitting guys out start? I don’t remember Bossy being sat out, or Orr or Esposito or Gretzky or any of a hundred other great players. Yeah, the Leafs aren’t gonna win the cup because Matthews and Nylander played two games because they’re too weak and feeble to play a full schedule like players have been doing since the start of the NHL.

I think identifying what it takes in the playoffs is the core of the problem. I think the Leafs would pass on these players instead of getting them.

It's some kind of curse.

The Leafs look like what you get when you have a team run by committee.

The fact that Schenn was their best dman last playoffs and they couldn’t afford him, and now JVR buries them. Its all so sadly poetic

What's funny, JVR almost had a goal last game as well.

That JVR goal shouldn’t have been. He was open because another Boston’s player was holding a Leaf defenseman’s stick quite blatantly. Should have been a Boston penalty instead. But they played like such dog crap it would t have mattered.

Scoring? What scoring?

The funny part is this team has averaged under 2 goals a game for the last 11 playoff games. They have 4 guys signed for $11 million next year and apparently that's not enough.

@@fractaljack210 mine is a Reebok

Wouldn’t it be crazy if the Canucks, who brought in a coach last year to give the team structure, made it to the 2nd round and the Leafs didn’t? I remember when people threw Andersen under the bus. Now look at them. Their problem isn’t goaltending. It’s all their top guys no showing in the playoffs. They play hard in the regular season to get their expensive deals that prevent management from filling out the roster and then coast in the playoffs. Unreal.

U know nothing leaf’s in 7

It's not just structure. The Leafs are soft. Floating around the perimeter.....low percentage shots. No one going to the hard areas. Their top 4 guys disappear in the playoffs, I mean Marner could have broken a nail out there or something..... There is no coach who can help this team. They're too soft for spring hockey.

Tickets in general in the States are obscene prices; they can set their own, I understand that, but making the fans pay for the stadium through tickets and concessions just seems greedy

It's slower coming out than the first two I did today. I had to wait almost an hour to record this one, didn't have to wait with the others.

​@@patbarry7265na, because I don't think the LFR's are who he is, just a character he plays.

While I picked Boston to win in my bracket, I kinda hoped for a Toronto win and a run at least to the conference finals. But this team isn't mentally up for it, I don't think. I live in the Chicagoland area, for reference, and I remember being at my moms house watching the Leafs and Candians game 7. As the Leafs were coming down the tunnel I remember my mom, who roots for the Hawks because I do, say "I thought you said the game was just starting? Are you sure it isnt the ladt game, because they look like they already lost." I don't think this team has the mental strength, or at least they have never shown it, to come back in a series if trailing by more than one game.

@@csolivais1979 I rooted for the Hawks as plan B team the 3 times they won the cup in the 10s. In 2010 they were facing the Flyers that had just eliminated the Habs the previous round. In 2013 they were playing the Bruins and 2015 The Bolts that eliminated the Habs in the 2nd round that year. All 3 teams I really dislike. Of course would have loved a CHI-MTL Final in 2010. Have a great day!

While true, 2010 had halak stand on his head and drag us to the conference finals. I really don’t see any of that kind of life from the leafs
