When I die, I'm going to have six maple leaf pallbearers, so they can let me down one final time.

People can HATE on SID!!!…. But he NAILED IT!!!! For those who understand this organization “ They are still a GOOD TEAM”.

110%. This is exactly what I was thinking….tell Marner he’s sitting in the press box if he doesn’t give up his no trade….and all the other things you mentioned.

Sid you nailed it. This is The Dallas Cowboys in the NHL when it comes to wanting to win, but not willing to 'go for it' to win.

Losing to CBJ in 2020 is an indication change is needed. Blowing a 3-1 series lead to Montreal in 2021 solidified that changes are needed. It’s never too late to change though.

Sid knows hockey this man speaks the truth. Why is Shanahan still here? Keefe?

When the Leafs lost game7, I felt nothing. Nothing. We've all become so numb to this that it doesn't bother us any more. And THAT is the real indictment of this team. This is new - in previous years we were crushed. Flattened. We have now reached a point where we can't get any flatter, so to speak. If real change doesn't happen this summer I really can't see fans getting excited about next year when they know it will be more of the same.

100% agree, Sid. However, I’d keep Bertuzzi and Domi as well.

I'd keep Knies, woll, McMann, Nylander and Matthews

They don't even have a "good" team. A good team doesn't go 1-9 in playoff series. They haven't even sniffed the 3rd round and got embarassed the only time they made it to the 2nd round. Regular season metrics are meaningless when this team gets nothing done in the playoffs.

Bertuzzi , Domi , and a few more were WORKHORSES FOR THE LEAFS . GO BRUINS !!🎸👊🏼

To add to Sid’s point regarding the Raptors and moving DeRozen after the 2018 season, Dwayne Casey was 2018 coach of the year but same as DeRozen another elimination at the hands of James was not accepted. A million years ago the Jays did something uncomfortable when they shipped out beloved players Tony Fernandez and Fred McGriff because simply winning a division was no longer good enough, the return was Alomar and Carter and the rest is history. Sad thing is this organization doesn’t even have to come close to winning a cup to be considered successful, a couple runs to the conference final would be huge after 8 yrs of the same formula failing, try something, anything, just make it different from this BS.

Why would they make changes? The Leafs are one of the most successful NHL franchises financially despite being a gong show on the ice for decades.

Leafs were going to lose to the Bruins in 7 or get crushed and blown out by the Panthers in 4.

I'm hearing marner wasn't available for post game interviews because his dad was late getting to the dressing room to untie his skates.

The fans are partially to blame, if you see the team changing nothing and still buy tickets, you are part of the problem I'm a Habs fan and I remember a time when it seemed they didn't care if we were winning or losing because they sold out every time - then attendance dropped and someone WOKE up! If the fans feel the team doesn't care - why should the fans support them?

Your right sid these are like the Ballard days he didn't care he was making money.

What fans are forgetting is that Detroit,Buffalo,Montreal and other teams are getting better every year and pretty soon the leafs are going to be life and death to make the playoffs.It wasn’t too long ago this team went many years not making the playoffs and don’t think that it can’t happen again!

Sid is 1000% correct! I was a Leaf fan from 1970 till they screwed up a 3-1 series lead to Montreal. At that point i threw away any Leaf memorabilia i had and said enough is enough, they aren’t worth my valuable time or money, haven’t watched a minute of any Leaf game since, and I suggest you all do the same, your life will be very much improved

Totally agree. Watch not only Reilly on the Pasta goal but also have a look at Marner watch Pasternak skate right by. Matthews was good when healthy and Nylander good once he got a game under his belt.

Sid….AMEN !!!! To all you just said it’s the truth & maybe hard to take but u took the words right out of my mouth good for you to have balls to say what others are too scared to say !!!!

Can't wait to watch this rerun all over again next year!

Leafs fans ( the corporate ones) will fill the seats next year as they always do. Nothing will happen until they see empty seats.

Man did Sid hit the nail on the head. Almost a decade full of losing in the first round is just unacceptable

im so glad to see Sid gone from the major sports networks. He can enjoy his time on Breakfast TV until he retires for all we care. he was beyond insufferable during his time on sportsnet. I know I'm not alone in feeling very happy to see him being relegated lol

You're never gonna win a 7-game series if you only score 12 goals, and go 1-for-21 on the power play 🤷‍♀

Literally the only time i have ever agreed with Sid! LOL

Does anyone see the irony with Shanahan? He refuses to make a change coming from a team (The Wings) that to win made drastic changes, one being getting him. The Wings traded Paul Coffey and Keith Primeau to get Shanny. Traded a 50-goal scorer in Ray Sheppard and traded away Dino Cicarelli. Why does he not see he needs to make some moves?

Sid should be the new President and shake things up , maybe we would win some series at that point

The biggest mistake they made was letting Lou go and passing it to Dubas. You can’t win with 4 Ferraris. And 19 mini vans .

Sid,old.old old.6 team guy from Chicago,you are on the loonie,keep talking!King Clancy,Johnny Bower,Red Kelly,Davey Keon,Turk Broda,Big Chief Jim Nielsen,Bobby Bauan,Bill Bariilko,and tons more is why I am. Arenas,Saint Pats Fan,I like the Blackhawks too!

1:51 is where Sid is finally allowed to speak.

"If you rolled a video in a meeting-gone." Hilarious.

The non-comparable with the Demar-Kawhi analogy is there isnt a Kawhi available for trade. If there is, then by all means go for it

Cowboys have won 5 super bowls since the Toronto won. Check out how many Cowboy teams since 67' have multiple playoff wins...you want to compare TO to someone I think the Cubs are more in their league lol.

LOVE the look he gives the camera when he brings up Marner's entourage, great! And he's 100% right btw. Ditch Mitch and John and you might get better.

Wondering why Keefe isn't gone already? Imlach was fired right after they lost to Boston in 1969 and he actually coached them to 4 cups.

I would also add Domi to that list with Matthews and Nylander. Other than that Sid nailed it

Agree 100% about what changes should be made and agree 99% that nothing will be done. There'll probably some small token change just to say they did something.

Sid for TML GM! I’m no Maple Leafs fan but man he NAILED IT!!! Bravo 👏🏻!

I like your prediction that NO changes will happen. That’s bold. 👍 Yet that’s what normally happens. Won’t change until people start throwing their jerseys on the ice. That year brought on the Shananplan.

Ya, Sid is right about most of the problems. This commentary should be directed to the entire Leafs organization. Problem is, bad team or good team, the organization will always make money because of the size of the market! Very little will change as usual and we will say the same thing for the next 50 years. Very sad, upper management can never get it right with their decisions and get the job done!

Excellent job Sid …best comments I’ve seen so far …

Not sure what is worse. The leafs or canadian politics.

well said sid love your takes i agree so much

Watching Toronto fans act shocked and upset when the Leafs get knocked out in the first round year after year despite having zero reason to think it would be any different this year is one of my favorite traditions.

Don't know why Matthews is untouchable when the team plays better without him.

I don't agree with Sid on many things but he definitely said everything that I was thinking needs to happen to this team. Thank you for saying what the majority of Leafs fans are thinking and want to say.

Sid has fortitude and the Leafs don't have any balls. Well spoken. Totally agree, Marner needs to sit in the press box next season if he won't lift his NTC. It's time for Matthews to be the new captain. Dubas instigated all these ridiculous contracts. Keefe needed to leave with Dubas to Pittsburgh, so not sure why he was extended for two more years?

So does the rest of Canada, sick and tired of absurdly late tv time slots as though only the Leafs matter. L. O. L.

Sorry but i cant take Sids sports talk seriously on this show 😂

I have been following the Leafs and cheering them on since 1985. If this team doesn't look drastically different next season, not sure i can do it. Starting to feel like a crazy person following this group. They should have made changes after Montreal series. Your right though Sid, they probably won't make changes because of the cash they are making off those names!!

I'd love to be on the show just to "steal" one of those really cool coffee mugs!!!!

Good teams make the playoffs Great teams win in the playoffs

The leafs don’t have to do well. They already make enough money from fans. It’s expected for the leafs not to make it to the second round. No one is shocked

Fans have to stop buying tickets. That’s the only way to get managements attention.

Loved Sid when he was with Tim and Sid! I have hated him with BT, but i actually love what he said here! He was bang on!!

Sid is 100% correct

Sid for GM. He’s got the biggest set of nuts in sports news today.

Bertuzzi's contract with the Leafs is over now. Odds are Boston re-signs him adding insult to injury.

I like your attitude Sid. Matthews gets the C. Tavares and Marner to Pittsburgh with Dubus.

Oh wow Sid you were right so were the rest of us actual hockey fans , pipe it down

Good takes honestly. Putting everyone on the chopping block will let everyone coming here to manage, coach, or play that we are serious about winning.

Well said Sid. Matthews & Nylander are save. Like what you said about Marner.

The problem with sticking Marner in the press box is he’ll actually help you win in the regular season, just not playoffs. That shift in game #2 where he didn’t wanna go into the corner with McAvoy says it all, and I’m not even gonna bother with his tantrum on the bench when Nylander called him out. As a team… - 1/21 on the PP in this series - 6 straight game #7 losses (7 incl CBJ in 2020) - 5 most recent game #7 loses they didn’t score more than 1 goal (2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019) - 13 of their last 14 playoff games they only scored 2 goals or less

Has anyone seen Billy? the superfan? Someone check the garage please...

I waited all weekend to hear Sid's thoughts 😁

Sid needs to be the new Leags president I swear to God... he knows more about this team than the Leafs staff themselves ☠️

❤, sid spitten truth like always!!!

I was waiting to see what mr know it all was going to say

It’s happy Monday for me too and so was Sunday when I found out the leafs are out now

I'm so happy to see the Leafs out so I can't wish you the best of luck. Keep losing, from a Canadiens fan.

Scoring has been tough in the playoff and Keefe sits Robertson in game 7! He forgets Robertson has the highest scoring rate only behind Matthews.

I'm looking for the video of Maestro Fresh Wes where sid is dancing and singing 😅😅😅😅😅

History told us the Leafs were far more likely to lose than to win. These old eyes were not surprised because my expectations were low.

I'm a Rangers fan since '79 and I can say with certainty that while the Rangers have had a successful season (thus far) and I'm cautiously optimistic, the reality is that Glen Sather has been here in one capacity or another for nearly 25 years and with everything he has available to him pre and post Cap has exactly one Finals appearance in that time. He had a world-class goalie and couldn't do anything with him. When Sather hasn't had the shoulders of Messier or Gretzky to ride, he's been a sub-par executive who was more suited to running a lemonade stand than an NHL franchise. Yet, he keeps rolling. Shanahan is in my 'Top 3' favorites ever. I was at his debut in the Meadowlands way back in the day. But ten years with no results is unacceptable. It insults those who have to produce results for a living.

It would be good if they could find a way to make Steve Dangle an Assistant Coach in charge of Emotional Charging ! I am serious about this .

100% agree and i wasnt even bothered that much by the loss. I dont think you strip tavares of his captaincy, why make his last year awkward as hell? The media would explode. Regardless of the captaincy everyone knows who the face of the franchise is.

WTG Sid you predicted the game seven result. Reverse psychology backfired 😂

From a Bruin fan. You outplayed us guys. That's it. The better team lost. That's hockey. Over-reaction? It happens! Often. It happens in football and Hockey more often than Pro Basketball and Baseball.

I disagree about everyone on the table because you got players like Knies, Bert, Domi, Edmonson and most of low contract players are decent. Woll is a great goalie problem was at the end of game six when his own dogpiled him to save a goal with a couple of seconds didn't help. Woll team injured him to try to save a goal which they scored after a couple seconds after the dogpile. Mitch is afraid to take a hit and will never succeed in the playoffs because of it.

They probably will trade Marner though and will get fleeced. They could get more if they traded Matthew's as his stock is high. Marner can create chances for others and Nylander can create his own offense. Matthew's is a shooter, best in hockey who needs a setup guy.

Every May 6 is when summer holidays begins for Meredith and she doesn't to have to pretend to care about the Leafs.

It’s the Ballard curse. The Leafs will not win until 100 years have passed after Ballard’s death! That means 2090 is the earliest since Ballard died on April 11, 1990

IMO, Shanahan is the key to this...if he's fired..everything is on the table, if Shanahan is here next year...same 'ol sh*t next year

Wow, I actually agree with Sid

The Leaf need a systems coach like Ruff

I freaking love Sid. Too bad he hasn't got a sports specific platform anymore, he needs it again. Huge talent going to waste on BT.

I rarely agree with you, Sid. But, you're 100% correct. Clean house and it starts at the top.

It's time to roll the dice and pull a Kawhi! Shake things up!

She wasn't at Scotiabank, she was at the Mandarin!

Since Matthews became a Leaf this team has always been a GOOD team. Sid is right, they need to be a GREAT team. Shanahan, Keefe, Marner Tavares ALL have to go.

i like this dude...he really let it out ..is this a Canadian TV channel???

If Keefe is still the coach next year I'd be amazed. He literally separated himself from the team during the postgame presser when he said other teams engineer ways to make *the Leafs* lose. He didn't say *us,* and he did it twice. Some might say that means nothing, but it actually does. It's almost a tacit admission that he does not feel he coached them in a manner that was unsuccessful, which may be true to a point, but when you have the results the Leafs have had in the past decade, many will disagree with that sentiment. As for the other things: I've grown tired of the "Shana-plan" now and it's time to move on from him. Treliving can stick around, but he'd better made a blockbuster trade in the offseason. One point about Woll: it's unclear when exactly the injury occurred that kept him out of game 7, but it's suspected to be on the attempted final save of the game. Now I know players have big heads and want to get the shutout registered, but there was a bigger picture to be seen here, and making a literal last second save at the end of a game that was already won made *ZERO* difference to the outcome. Had that been a 2-1 lead with the possibility of tying the game, it would be understandable. To some extent Woll himself has to take some blame in that injury taking place, but unfortunately like Murray and others before him, he appears too injury prone and I agree they need to finally shore up that one position especially. Meh. We'll see what happens. Go Canucks?!?

Sid nailed it and what he says needs to happen for anything to change with that dogshjt team and he’s also right that nothing likely will. The abuse of the fans at the hands of MLSE is truly despicable.

Sid is usually spot on and for the most part I agree with almost everything he says. However, I do think that Reilly especially was injured this series. He played really bad but he was also probably our best player last year against Tampa. I also think there are changes coming. I’m not sure if the changes will be to our core four (for this upcoming season at least, due to Marner and Tavares NMC) but I do think that keefe, shanahan and guy Boucher will be gone. Tre will be the only one safe.

Sid putting on his serious voice. Jabronie

Sid, I'd agree with you about lobbing everyone except Matthews/Nylander, but honestly, I think the Leafs should keep on Knies, McCabe, Edmundson, and Woll as a backup as well. I don't think Rielly goes realistically. That guy IS a Toronto Maple Leaf. He may have sucked this series, but he's worth keeping on as a leadership guy.

Sid knows what he’s talking about

For so many years - The Leaf's are a Business, and the bottom line is to make money - Something they always make a lot of regardless of how far they go into the playoffs. As long as their top executive produce stable $$$ results, a Stanley cup push will come 2nd.
