I like that, thank you for it.

This, whenever I see a Leafs game like this, it honestly feels like they feel like "We're the better team, the more talented team. We don't have to put in the effort to beat them." So they don't. And they lose. Why? Because Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. And it's always the case in games like this with them.

and the scariest thing for the Leafs is that Boston and Florida have talent AND work hard.

You won't go anywhere in the playoffs without hard work. And I don't think it's a coincidence that the Leafs have so little playoff success over the last few decades.

Kevin Durant used to praise that

Tampa, Detroit, and Toronto will all make the playoffs.

Yeah it's pretty evident at this point most of the Metro is huffing glue in comparison and all 3 of those should make it. @@michaeldilley2544

@@michaeldilley2544 closest team in the Metro is the Islanders and they are four points back of WC2, its gonna be a slug fest for all three to make it with how they keep leap frogging each other every night, plus I don't think any of the three teams want to play Florida in the first round the way they are playing.

@@JaredLS10 seeing how Boston and florida is playing I can see a tough race for first but yeah either Tampa or Toronto are F

Two goals. Unless you mean 3 unanswered to finish the game

Maybe Morgan does 😂😂

Best show ever. Solid

@@gigatron2008 That's a Texas-sized 10-4...........sorry wrong show

@@robrick9361you’re really outta line Dar

Seeing Hakstol pissed off tonight made me smile

Fellow Philly fan. Torts would annihilate this leafs squad

As a jackets fan, I fuckin miss torts.

maybe the Leafs needs Torts to come in fuck em up

That's the exact type of coach this team needs.

Hmmm....maybe they should give them more money....that might work

You know it's a classic when the intro is cut off 😂

To be fair the Leafs would always get smoked in the reg season by the Sens.

1967

Had to play with heart back then, couldn't play with skill.

They won because they had guys like tucker, domi, Robert's to fill in people like grieg.

Funny back then the sens were the team with crazy offensive talent with no heart.

TB now has 61 too, even worse

Yeah but the wings keep losing to the Sens as well

@@jonmelSens suck against every team except the Leafs and the Wings haha

Lol Sens own the habs too 😂

@@anthonyfuniciello1768 Sens turn it on for games against rivals but then we play anyone in the west / metro and you can just tell that pinto took the other teams puck line

Bet you were losing your mind at the beginning of the season with your get canucks .. 😂😂😂😂

@bikeboy416 Actually, I'm a Habs fan. And before the Toronto fans dogpile, yes I'm aware my team is rebuilding... and unlike the Laugh fans, I know my team is subpar (temporarily) 😀

Exactly, it's supposed to be the battle of Ontario. The last few years it's been super stale, mind you Ottawa hasn't had a very competitive team for a few years but there's no bitterness, contempt or hatred of the other team anymore. Now that Ottawa is starting to be competitive (Yes I know this year's been a flop but they have talent), it should start to get good again. Especially with Greig being the menace he is.

Which fans? 75% of the fans in Ottawa were TML fans. I hope the senators lose their franchise again.

He always does that

Connor McDavid checks more then Marner dose

to be fair mcdavid has been getting pretty physical lately lol @@ryans413

Potential issue if he DOES tho, if he's the last one in, one or of two during this scenario (6 on 4). If he goes for someone who is already partnered off, he gets a third man in penalty, which may draw other issues beyond taking a penalty in the last 5 seconds

100%, toss your stick and throw hands.

@@JaredLS10 Exactly.

He would’ve dropped the gloves is the guy didn’t lay on the ice crying about it 😂

"He woulda dropped his gloves AFTER he was finished crosschecking his teeth in but the guy stayed down on the ice too long before someone else got involved"@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa369

@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa369 watch the slow mow replay of Grieg's jaw being relocated for witness protection 2 provinces away and then get back to me

If Perron got 6 (and 2/3rds) it’s hard for me to understand Reilly getting less than 5.

Zadorov got suspended 2 for a totally unintentional head hit during the course of play. He deserved the 2 games, but a crosscheck aimed at someones neck/head after play is over...and not even in the heat of a moment, he had to skate from in front of his net to get there... HAS to be 4+, especially since he doesnt get time served on the game misconduct since it was at the end of the game unlike Perron or Zadorov. If he was kicked out early in the game then 2-3 might be more reasonable based on time served.

@unimpressively_charming Lmfao when has crosschecking in the head ever been a hockey play. Fighting is a hockey play and guess what, Reilly didn't drop the gloves.

@unimpressively_charming How was it a "classless empty net"? The Leafs had more guys on the ice and allowed one of them to get past them...should the other team not try to score when they're still in play? Perhaps the Leafs should take Steve's suggestion and care more and try harder...

​@unimpressively_charmingyous a moron

4 players make more than half the cap. Not his fault, honestly

Because he wasn't the one who got the players replacing the players that Dubas let walk and then left for Pittsburgh. It's all on Dubas who shouldn't EVER have been in ANY management role in the NHL. What he's done in Pittsburgh is evidence of that. By extension, Shanahan should have been fired long ago. Had those things been done, they'd have a better balanced roster.

@@hockeyfan7100 "What he's done in Pittsburgh" so like nothing basically except get eric karlsson? what's the problem? lol

Even if they change the coach, nothing will change. Not enough scoring coming from the bottom six and the Defense. Its nothing to do with the coach.

​@STONE6969 u expecting a bunch of rookies and league min players to score a bunch of goals? What about the 5.5 mil LW in Bertuzzi who's been AWFUL this year?

Have you considered that you might be a jinx? 🙂

They also upset the defending champs and were a goal away from the third round. Not bad for a second year team. The Leafs won a round for the first time in 19 years, then lost the second round in 5... Stick with your new team.

I love it. Come and watch your Leafs or Habs lose!

Same

Same also one of the sickos not from North America

Me too

Dito

Y’all weird

Then don't watch hockey any more.

Last years playoffs. When Sammy stole 2 games. This season when Woll stole a couple. Quite more recently than you'd think actually. Lol

After watching the leafs lately , its kind of hard not to group them in with your so called “ bad teams”

@@hockeyfan7100 If ya can't handle the sound of a frustrated hockey fan then don't go on these comment sections anymore.

@@hockeyfan7100quit gatekeeping you ass

Rubbish.

​@@Tav57yes the leafs are

S'kay that's what Steve meant anyway. 3-1 is 75% win rate against the leafs still.

And the only reason the Leafs won that game is because Woll stood on his head to save the Laughs

Hell yea!

Your Stanley cup lol losers

And the stick to the head makes up for the loss..😂🎉

So thanks for doin that I guess ;)

you did the entire country proud sens fans. when the Laughs lose... Canada wins. the oil nation appreciates yall

The one trade he should made is trade himself out.

They Leafs don't have the assets to make a significant trade and there are too many roster problems that need to be addressed. Even if the Leafs miss the playoffs or lose in the 1st round, what changes can they make next offseason? This team will have 53% of next year's cap tied up by four players. The FO has no money to sign the depth you need for a contending team.

It's Shanny that makes the moves at the end of the day. Unfortunately the GM can't really do his job.

The Leafs aren’t legit contenders, and management must realize that by now. I’m not sure they’ll make the playoffs this year, for that matter. D is a shambles, G is terribly untrustworthy, whole team makes bonehead mistakes game after game after game with no apparent consequences from coaching staff, etc etc. The salary structure and lousy drafting means there’s no significant help coming from anywhere. The Shanaplan may have made millions for MLSE, which is the goal for professional sports after all, but it’s doomed the Leafs to at least another decade of playoff failure.

what would a trade do? the problem isn't lack of talent (which a trade can fix) its not caring enough like Steve said the whole reason fans defended that hit from Reilly (when it was suspension worthy and Cheap, and Salty) is because they're so starved for seeing a player actually care enough to HATE LOSING to the point that it actually pushes them to do something like that (yes it was classless to do an Empty Net slapshot 3 feet away when u already won the series, hence why even the sens captain didn't like it, and I wouldn't have liked it if the Leafs did that to the sens if they already won the series) but he felt safe doing that because he didn't believe the players cared enough to do anything about it if every Leafs player cared half as much as Reilly did in that one moment they would have stomped Ottawa into the ground in all 4 games the only thing that can fix this problem is players actually learning something from this theres no way a team this stacked should lose to ottawa 3/4 times (and need their goalie to steal the 1 win they got) next time I'd rather see the team show that they care during gameplay, not afterwards using a move that just gets the rest of the franchise to brand them cowards and sore losers anyways, sure some players might look at that and think (oh we shouldnt push the leafs too much) but overall u need to channel that into your game

And Jacques Plante

Exactly those guys wouldn’t have sucked out in the end like Riley !

I mostly agree, except I think Steve is being too soft on Morgan Reilly because he likes him. Deliberate attempts to injure have no place in the game - the league should have learned that after the black eye that the Bertuzzi-Moore embarassment gave them. They should throw the book at Reilly.

Yup . Change needs to be made. Lots of theese guys take the game off. Instead of passion they are playing for their big paychecks.

*Tim Robinson hat meme* what the hell?

LGRW ❤

As a canucks fan, Raymond is a God, and DeBrincat a little bitch

You’re right this should be a turning point

All the other times the Sens beat them this year it didn't wake them up.

Same could be said for the Buffalo games, the Blue Jackets, the Black Hawks etc…

@@ryandeboer1928yeah honestly you just can’t lose both games to the Hawks, they lose so regularly

They lost to David Ayres 5 years ago. Wake up call? 😂

Jones isn't supposed to be their backup, though. He's their third-stringer on paper once Woll comes back. I think that's what he was getting at.

What? I know that. The point I was making is regardless of the standings, these games mean something.

Don’t matter if you’re bottom of the league or king of the league you got to play like it’s the big one every night from here on out, Lightning nearly got caught by the Blue Jackets, the third place in the Atlantic is in a three way deadlock between Toronto, Tampa, and Detroit. No excuses!

Is Samsonov really better than Jones?

If the leafs hypothetically miss rhe playoffs by a point or two you can look back to these games

LGRW ❤

Greig pulled a Jose Bautista

For sure! They got it turned around and Pinto is back.

You're absolutely right! People hate on Stutzle but forget he is very young (just turned 22) and is already a star in the league. people just hate on him since he's on the Sens.

They're 28th in the league. They ARE bad.

Having talent and being bad aren't mutually exclusive

Yes they have a good top 9 and a good top 4. Problem is 27 teams have BETTER top 9s and BETTER top 4s.

Our Sens are playing much better under Jaques now.

Brad Trevling has rapidly become another major problem. He just signed Nylander to what will become one of the worst contracts in Hockey. 11.5 million for a one dimensional player who is on the ice for goals against just as much as goals for. He is nothing more than Shanahan’s puppet.

If they even make the playoffs 😬

Honestly, perfectly put

You like a 28th ranked team? Ok then. You probably wouldn't care if they had a 3-79 record at the end of the season. Sounds about right for the Sens.@@matteocecchetto7252
