Thanks for watching!

If Bob Cole had to go, I’m glad he didn’t have to watch Game 4. RIP Bob Cole Legend 🎙️

I'd also like to add that just because you pour more shots on net, doesn't man they are quality scoring chances. You can fire at the net all day, and if there's no traffic in front, you're not scoring on Swayman.

Next game Keefe will now be typing his resume in intermission.

My wife and I were having a squabble last night so I didn't actually watch game 4. I thanked her this morning.

Why shouldn't fans boo? They paid big money to watch a half assed effort. Contrary to what Keefe swears.

The whole Core four era has literally been a circus act that people will look back on and make fun of for decades to come. I'm not a leafs fan, but I genuinely hope that the next chapter in this teams history is less painful to fans than this one has been.

Tavares looks like an older, slower David Kampf - who also falls down a lot

Watching the games in the U.S. has Biz going nuts about how bad they are - again - while the rest of the panel just laughs and needles Biz for being suckered in again - nobody outside Toronto thinks they have a shot at winning anything

Thanks for all these shows, guys. Here's to big changes in the offseason.

Bruins fan here...I think the Leafs are going through the same painful realization that the Bs did in 2019. Back then we had the “perfection line” that we expected to outclass St. Louis and beat them handily. What we learned was that a physical game by a bunch of guys with bodily mass is what wins cups. It’s not your first two lines that win cups, it’s lines 3 and 4. The Bruins are also extremely good at winnowing their team of prima donnas...no egos allowed. It’s not about your superstars ...it’s your grinders.

As Norm says constantly - where are the players with their hair on fire?

I think the major changes should have been made after the 2021 defeat to Montreal. The series against the Habs broke the Leafs and they have not recovered since.

You can blame Reaves all you want, but your goalie needs to make a save at some point. JVR didn't even make a move and Sammy was opening up giving him nothing but net.

7% for the PP this year

You are missing a key aspect Toronto's unstructured fire wagon hockey gets the players more points in the regular season. The Bruins play defensive hockey. They play to win.

I saw them live in Jersey and they were good - but it was also the last time (except for once) they’ve scored more than two goals in a game I think

Excellent point MiB, about the fans.

Samsonov played like a good back up over the past season.

5th Comment NOTHING will change until JT and Marner are OFF the Teams Roster THE SOONER , THE BETTER this should happen

Fire Shanahan.

"this fucking thing is over" - Norm 2024

as mike always says ITS OVER !!!

Enjoy your show as always!

Thanks for letting us vent today, gents. When do the waffles start landing on the ice at Scotiabank Arena?

I would fire the coach and let someone else coach the team for the fifth game.

Is it confirmed AM’s illness was food poisoning? If so, that stuff is brutal on energy levels. The fact he’s even able to play at all is impressive. Along with Nylander’s sudden migraines, the Leafs curse lives on. Spooky.

I watched Tavares for 7 years on Long Island - and he couldn’t do it there either - seven more years in Toronto hasn’t made him any better at that - please end the madness - even if you can’t get Salt Lake to take him in the off-season with some money just to get him out of the way

I do believe Keefe probably has to go although Toronto's problems go well beyond the coaching. There also will be calls to break up the core 4.

They just don't have the players. Keefe will be typing his resume in next game intermission but doesn't matter who is the coach with these top players.

Alexander Ovechkin once scored 11 goals in 14 playoff games, the year they won the cup he had 15 goals in 24 games, Will Matthews ever have a big playoffs? Marner 5 goals in last 34 playoff games, Tavares 23 points in 35’playoff games. To win a cup you can’t have huge contract first line guys not score much, last 11 playoff games the leafs have scored 3 goals only 2 times…All these guys demand most money in league but don’t score

Marner has to go and use that money to upgrade defense

The Leafs are an elite ringette team

In 93 Gilmore would start a game weighing 175lbs, end the game at 160lbs after the second intermission hooked up to an IV for fluid loss. Same skill level as Marner but an in your face Captain, like Marchand. Send core five to an MMA boot camp this summer.

There have been teams that have come back from 3 to 1 deficit, Montreal did during the covid playoffs.

As a Bruin fan I sympathize because obviously Matthews is sick, Nylander is hurt and Marner coming back from Injury. Last year we experienced injuries to Bergy, Krejci and Uhlmark and we blew a 3-1 series lead.

With 3 minutes left in the game what the hell was the 4th line and Reeves doing on the ice when you need 2 goals. I have had enough with this coach. He should be removed immediately and go with anyone else on the bench

The Ballard curse will last for another 100 years

The most reliable secondary scoring this team has had over the last nine years was Jason Spezza. Sammie on that 1st goal was extending in case Van went to the far side, if he had just laid his pads down, that is what Van would have done, pulled it to his backhand and flipped it over Sammie's pads, it was essentially a breakaway. After this series is over the Leafs are going to say they had an illness running through the team. So does Vancouver, we've had guys playing, just having recovered from the flu, we lost our goalie, but you still have to try.

When the crowd is quiet, they aren't cheering enough. When they crowd is jacked their 'puttin, too mich pressure on the team' So what was the excuse the year there were zero fans thanks to covid?

The few old Guys in suits who own the seets behind the leafs bench are the real problem.

Can"t really blame Reeves for the cough up. He never had control of the puck and neither did the Boston guy along the boards. Just squirted right to the wrong guy.

This offseason this team needs to be basically blown apart … 1 of Marner or Nylander, if not both needs to be traded for tougher, nastier, gutsier players and Keefe needs to be fired and a nasty coach like Tortorella (I know he’s unfortunately not available) needs to be hired that will not be scared to challenge star players and if need be sit them out. The whole character of the team needs to be altered for the Leafs to become a real Stanley Cup contender. Also 2 top 4 Defenders need to be added. Tree has a ton to do this offseason!

Let's see if Woll can save our bacon before we take apart the team, plenty of time for this and Marner remains true to form in the playoffs, INVISBLE

Don’t give the keys for the Ferrari to your 16 year old kid. Keefe was not the right coach for this team, they needed a salty NHL vet who could teach these guys what it takes, someone who had been there and seen it before. Leafs tactically outmatched all series, the biggest culprit of leaf failures is their style of play.

Why was reeves not in front of the net on the pp.basics

If we include the last 4 games of the regular season, the Leafs have lost 8 of their last 9 games.

“sleepwalk” is another word for mental breakdown and victim of psychic attack

Just want to remind everyone, this is Dubas and Shannahan’s team. Dubas is gone, Shanny needs to go too.

They were definitely listless last night😮

Talking F150 deal is more fun that listening to this being chewed over again ad again…. Next sept everyone will be cheery and hopeful again ))

Sammy is just another burning tire on the still smoldering Dubas dumpster fire. Fundamentally, the team is still built according to his strategy. Won’t get any better until major changes are made. Not sure there is much they can do for next year. Who can they move with all the no trades that were handed out?

You could keep Bouch, McCabe, and Benoit - along with Reilly - but the rest of the defense can’t come back

Just read an article on line by the Babylon B the headline read "Leafs fans are calling for a larger puck and smaller nets".Not to worry guys Austin will get 70 on hole #12 Wednesday.

How is the Shanaplan and the Tree Living plan working out now? The snowflakes aren't built for playoff hockey. They are better designed to offer up waffles at the IHOP.

I'm a Bruins fan. Patrice Bergeron played last year with a slipped disc for the Bruins against the Panthers. Marner is afraid to get hurt, Nylander missed 3 games with a headache & Matthews left with a tummy ache! The Leafs did great adding Bertuzzi, Domi & Reaves but if the Bruins had 4 Pastrnaks and the Panthers had 4 Barkers they wouldn't do well either. We learned in 2019 that Finesse doesn't win in the playoffs! Also, who maintains the ice in Toronto? Everyone was falling down in game 4. If you have a fast team full of goal scorers then at least keep your rink in tip top shape. You guys are in big trouble!

Sammy absolutely had a "chance" on the Marchand PP goal. He was out way, *WAY* too far challenging the shooter. Marchand had a wide-open net FFs.

People say it's the coach, or it's the players. None of this explains why this present situation keeps happening over and over, ever since 1968. Which is when I started watching them. It can't be the team. It can't be the coaching staff. We were all absolutely sure that when Harold Ballard died, the Leafs were sure to win a Cup in the not-so-distant future. But that Cup never materialized. There's something going on but it's not the players or the coaching staff. I just read that to use up all of the current applications for season's tickets, it would take 250 years. For each regular season game, there are 4,000 tickets available. In a city of 2.79 million people. Not to mention the greater GTA. The one thing the Leaf organization doesn't lack is money. I've even considered a curse, possibly brought on by how the Leafs treated Frank Mahovlich. Is there any way that not needing to win may have something with their league-leading Cup drought? If not, I've run out of ideas.

Leafs are going to win game 5 they aren’t going out like chumps. They’re bringing it back home and it’ll be a different story this time around. This series is going 7 as you predicted. Boston is going to choke like last year.

… what do the Leafs have to be proud of Mathew’s 69 goal season The Bay Street crowd that pay all the bills and then some The forever true blue loyal fan base that never loses hope and that is it

Bruin fan here. I truly feel sorry for the Leafs fans. All that money going to 4 guys and they are doing nothing but bitching at each other on the bench. Where is the heart, the passion needed to succeed in the playoffs?

No reason why Leafs can't go on a 5 or 7 game win streak. They seemed to do it all year after losing 2 in a row.

Morgan Reilly is a great #3 defenseman - they need a #1 & #2 - and they’ll have the money to do it when they don’t resign Brodie or Liljegren…

Marner, Tavares, Brodie, Rielly definitely need to go. Get rid of Shanahan and Keefe. Keep Matthews, Nylander, Knies. Let the GM build a gritty team that's hungry for playoff wins and willing to do what's needed, the dump and chase hockey, the crashing the net and the D line pinching well. Is Tom Wilson available?

I want to see Shanahan head down to the bench on Game 5 and fire Keefe!.. make history! And Leafs leave the game after 2nd period and get on a plane. That would be EPIC!… BEST STORY OF 2024 PLAYOFFS.

And they need to give Matthews or Reilly the “C” for next year - Tavares can’t do it

It's not the goalie's fault we can't put the puck in the net despite 50 million dollars in salary being dedicated to it.

Maybe they should play game 5 at the paper mill. 😅

The moment they signed Sammy I knew they would never win anything. Guy's a bum!

It’s the damn playoooooffffs, this ain’t the damn regular season. Every year, every single year this team finds an excuse or reason to hang these losses on. Oh it’s this, this guy is out or not 100%, they don’t have this type of player or WHATEVER the hell the excuse is. In the playoffs you have to overcome this shit or you lose, plain and simple. Everyone has something going or problems, hell Boston has three guys in the line up who never played in the damn playoffs before. But they have structure, leadership, and focus that masks those weaknesses and helps lift you up out of adversity. That’s being a damn team. Also being accountable to one another, Keefe can’t hold a damn mosquito accountable. No one ever does a thing wrong and we had our looks just didn’t execute. That’s a joke and it’s a joke all the players regurgitate with their play and then justification every year after. Sundin, Tucker, Clark, Roberts, I mean I could keep going - character - none of these bums have it and the ones that do aren’t players that make big enough of an impact.

What do we think of rielly being traded to a rebuild team for picks only??

It's all so Leafy at this point

Leafs GM screwed up big time by not upgrading the Leafs Core 4 over the past year. To save their integrity - all Leaf Executives should resign after the next game (likely a loss to the Bruins). This Core 4 looks good in the regular season - but they were never a Stanley Cup Contender. They even made Columbus look good one spring. 😀

And you’ll have another $25M to go get 3 really great physical, top/middle six forwards when you don’t resign Marner or Tavares

I have a feeling, that this team comes roaring back, they seem to react only when they have to. Like when they are down 4-2 in 3rd period they usually roar back win 5-4 right before the buzzer or right after OT starts, I expect them to win next 3, np

And you’ll need to eat $3M by firing Keefe with a year left on his contract - and they’ll need to spend more millions on Berube or Brindamore or somebody players will listen to - but at least coaches salaries don’t count against the cap…

Rielly would be the 4-5 best d-man on the burins. Doesn’t that tell you a lot about

Marner needs to get involved alot of passengers. AM can't do it himself. Marner needs to drop to the 3rd line get 3 lines Rollin. Did not look good. Nobody in front of the net so much. Oh well let's hope they can bring it back to Toronto. Peace ✌️ 😎

The leaves lost before the series even started. They still have the first round hangover from last year cuz winning that round was their Stanley Cup win!!💯

Come on Mike! Really, the leafs played with their hair on fire in the 3rd? The Bruins were sitting back with a 3 goal lead where they knew the leafs were defeated! Sometimes it is what the other team will allow

Leaf fans can now go and crawl back under their beds, this team has absolutely no heart.

Now there is no denial my friends. Matthews proved he is not worthy of the logo. Players have played with broken legs, torn ACL's, punctured lungs - and your vaunted 69 goal slug bailed due to his tummy. Marner is an entitled brat who had a temper tantrum when Willy took him down. Time to move on and build a team less these 2 and dump Keefe and Shanny

I’ve been watching these guys do the same since 1968 - duh! But this is clearly the same bs year after year - they likely won’t play another game in Toronto this year

Mike I have respected for you for years. Howevever I have to call you out. Tavares is younger then Stamkos who has 4 goals. When you get older it is your heart that drives you. Tavares is not a leader. Marner cannot play under the bright lights. Matts unlike Tavares showed up in the playoffs with a bunch of hard workers. Matthews should be the Captain. Tavares and Marner have to leave they are not playoff performers on an already fragile team. The special teams awfull again.

This is what happens when try to rush the process instead of remaining patient and continuing to draft and develop. Burke fucked us when he came in and immediately spent up to cap and trading no 1s for Kessel then they had the big panic to go out and get Tavares after being very respectable against the Caps. Every time I’ve gotten optimistic about the future prospects of this team they’ve gone out and done something colossally stupid. The front office is a complete and utter failure as evidenced by the repeated playoff losses. Blow it all up, start from scratch and this time don’t rush it.

Cheering for the Leafs is like cheering for the Titanic... awful.

Mike, samsonov bit so hard on the point shot on marchands goal. That was only partly PK fault

Honestly every member of the core 4 is under 1 ppg in their playoff careers. Marner gets all of the blame, but it's all of them

7% boys

The Leafs are losing to Boston in the play-offs again? No wonder, no goals, no goaltending, no guts, no passion, no desire, no power play, no penalty killing, no coaching......NO GOOD!--Like I said....NO WONDER.

I love the SABRES

Woll is going to be a WALL. you heard it here first :)

Time to look in the mirror leafs fans; We are the problem. We are the schmucks in the Fun house at the Fair known as the Regular Season, then we step out into the real world, the Playoffs. No bigger than life fantasies exist in the real world. This is known as reality

Paper is for wrapping fish. The Bruins have unfinished business also.

And Sammy can’t come back - so you need to figure out how to do it with Woll plus “somebody good”…

29:55 Macit Aktas ​​Keefe is gone , tbh I’m sick of his nasıl issues So random.

i love my leafs but they truly lack heart & urgency for me. same song and dance every year. big moves need to be made in the off season, my opinion.

Bruins had more chances on the PK than the leafs had on the PP figure that one out.

Did he say coach works for the players ??? Lmao you can tell Michael is a dubas lover

HOW would Ovechkin handle a Marchand elbow to the face HOW would Tom Wilson handle a Marchand elbow to the face … would Marchand be alive and well at this point
