Knies is quite honestly the only leaf who shows up for EVERY game. When talks about your legacy are on the line, you would think more leafs would step their consistency up.

He's not, he is aware this will probably be happening. I mean the guy is a true fan. I respect him a lot for this. Cuz I am a true fan of the Habs. I will cheer for the Habs no matter what. I knew this season in October they had very few chances of making the playoffs, turned out they did not. Cheered for them anyway. What's your favorite team? Are you a true fan? Do you love them no matter what?
they were really good in 05-07 though winning the president's trophy one of those years. went to two straight conference finals. that's all four series wins right there. the leafs were mediocre for a very long time, and have been unable to get it done the last 8 years they've qualified for the playoffs, which is absolutely disgraceful but also a function of being in a tough division with Tampa and Boston (and now Florida). with the old seeding system they would have had a bunch of series as a 2-3 seed against a 6-7 seed which probably would have been easier.

Exactly. When every game is sold-out whether the team wins or loses (usually loses), there is no incentive for the bean counters to make the product better. The only way for fans to express their disappointment and dislike is to stop buying tickets. Until that happens, the Leafs will continue to underwhelm and underperform.
They only need a new goalie, new defence, new coach, new manager, new owner, new forwards, new assistant coach, new lockerroom staff, new zamboni driver, new ads on the billboards and THEN we will have our dream team.
Matthews is a stat padding fraud like Lebron James. But unlike lebron, he has teammates that can carry him to champions while Matthews remains a colossal loser for eternity

Other than Swayman or maybe Ullmark could. Unfortunately they both play for the Bruins and we can't even get one good goalie. Then again, you won't win scoring 1 or 2 goals per game very often.

The Leafs need to bring the elder JT into the locker room to give these guys an idea of what it takes to win in the playoffs from a guy who has won what? 9 Mann Cups and 6 Champions Cups? Because they don't have it...
I have NEVER SEEN a team in a must win be that lazy and uninterested. Bruins could enter the Leafs zone 2 on 4 and be first to every puck. Leafs couldnt even be the third guy to a loose puck all night. The cost to give a shit ratio of the Leafs top 6 is insanity. Coming into tonight, Draisaitl and Mcdavid combined for the same number of points as the ENTIRE LEAFS ROSTER. This has to be the end for Keefe and the core 4.
Nylander and Matthews should stay. Other than those 2, clean house. I'm not a Leafs fan, I'm a Stars fan, but I noticed the Leafs don't really have an injection of young players and are mostly a 1 line team. Get rid of Marner, he's trash.

As a Blackhawks fan for over 50 years, born in 1962 I thought the Hawks would never win a cup. Watching them win the three cups from 2010-2015, it was clear only depth and defense can win cups. Time after time it was the Bolland's and the Versteeg's that gave the stars a chance to shine. Kane would not be Showtime if many others did not pave the way. Most times, a team cannot control how many goals they score. It is so important to be able to play a defensive game when needed. Defense is something with hard work even with lower skilled players can be a big factor. Many times, the Hawks could put any line out there against any line. In fact, the 4th line was used as a shutdown line against the best others had to offer. As soon as the Hawks became top-heavy paying their stars, they never won a playoff round again. It is not that the Leafs stars are not showing up. It is they are letting the Boston stars beat them.
knocked it right out the fuckin park with that one man. i also think culture plays a large factor to the leafs not having success and its the same reason why you see a team like buffalo continuously fail either guys knowing the environment is shit, or there not being any to begin with. i hope that made sense
you could give the leafs any player this offseason and the results probably wouldn’t change. same shit every damn year. im a flames fan and even my team won a damn round before them
All those trades in the off season and all they go was a bunch of gritty forwards. Time to trade Marner or nelander for some top D. They should have kept Luke shene too from last year.
@@liamrose.9 I watched the Cubs go through the same thing. It is as if somehow they carry all the bad history on their backs once the playoffs start. The Hawks went through it also. Then a young man name Johnathan Toews came along. He would not be out worked, and he would not be turned away. He was the heartbeat of the Hawks. The only way to change anything is by example. Give me players who hate to lose over players who love to win any day, anytime. MJ was that kind of player.
I was 10 years old the last time they won, probably won’t live to see another at this rate, or the day they win the excitement will kill me. Either way I’m doomed!
Keefe should have been fired after last season, the fact they kept him around blows my mind. With a team that on paper has some serious skill I put this on coaching. Absolute train wreck.
Leafs fans keep dancing around the real problem and it's Matthews. They doubled down and gave him a big raise for next year, but he's a periphery player at best, can't do anything in games that matter. As long as he's the centerpiece, the Leafs will continue to be one and done every year in the playoffs.
I have no faith in the Leafs, they do not have a team capable of beating Boston...reasons why: Keefe - for the last 10 minutes of the 2nd period the team was doing the same thing, trying to skate into the zone with control of the puck...Boston had a defensive system where they could not do that effectively...anyone with a brain could see that but the Leafs kept doing the same thing...solution = try something new, also when in the zone with the puck, have someone block Swayman and then take a shot...instead the plan was pass, pass, pass, pass,...but unfortunately they would cough up the puck and then it would go the other way...sure the system worked against Montreal, and Chicago, and Ottawa but it has not worked against Boston so doing something different would be prudent...I blame Keefe for not adjusting, Leafs need to fire him (not sure who to replace him with)...other Leafs that need to go (on defense): Liljegren (just horrible and should not be on an NHL team), McCabe (I like he that he is tough but he pinches too much and gets burnt on it, not to mention dumb penalties at times...on offense it is a shame we have Nylander and Tavares on long term no trade clause contracts as it limits what we can do..IMO you need a different strategy to our offense as the current offense I look at as being good, just we need a different strategy with Boston, and Keefe has yet to figure that out...
every year i’ve been saying this teams core four are no shows in the playoffs and every year people say they aren’t, they’re regular season beauties but can’t play playoff hockey.
bullshit, they let the rats hit, punch, hook, hold, and obstruct skilled players. we are slipping slowly back to the dead puck era. on the bright side fighting is back :)
@@soyentak5076 that excuse would work if they didn’t fumble every playoffs the last few years with this core, only 2 years ago they had an 3-1 lead against the habs and that team was far from physical in any regard and they still couldn’t get it done. they can’t play playoff hockey.
It wasnt even a clean break, the D man was there. All he had to do was be square and butterfly. He didnt have to react to a deke at the hashmarks at all. Absolute amateur stuff
As a Caps fan I'm happy we get rid of Samsonov, back then he was very unstable goalie, I don't know what's up with Leafs GM and they can't buy a better goalie line, they spend millions for nothing
One of the richest sports franchises in the world. They make millions in ticket sales, tv contracts, private boxes , and merchandise. They put exciting players on the ice that drive the fans wild. I'm sure there are players on the team who want a cup, but it's all about money and personal stats for the rest. Ownership will never build the close checking , physical team needed to win in the playoffs. They don't want to bore the fans. Everyone is rich and popular. Life is good. And every year the fans come back for more. 0
I root for the Leafs every year and I'm not even a Leafs' fan because I follow a franchise ever more pathetic than the Leafs, unfortunately. When a used-to-be-hack like Boston's Trent Frederic (who actually had a nice season) has more goals (2) than anyone else on the Leafs' roster after 4 games, that should say it all. Where are you Auston? I know you can't do it all by yourself but 69 goals during the regular season will easily be forgotten when your TEAM doesn't make it out of the first round. Notice I say TEAM, Auston. Set your records, score your goals, keep on failing in the first round, but what do you really care, right? As long as YOU set individual records, right? Frederic and the Bruins have WAY more heart and grit than the Leafs can possibly muster this year and like years before. Congrats on moving on Boston. This series is more than over.
Toronto is fast approaching 60 years since their last championship. Like, how is that even possible for such a proud hockey franchise??? They'd almost be better off folding the team and having the NHL give them an expansion franchise. Hell, expansion teams that didn't exist before 1992 have won 5 of the last 20 Cups. Just pathetic for them to be so inept.
They just don't have that balance. The team is fine for the regular season and the high flying offence. However, in a 7 game series, they don't have the balance to get it done. They could definitely trade some of that offense for better defense and a bit more grit up front.
You can't coach heart. Matthews was disappointed at the end of the year that he didn't get that 70th. He doesn't get paid for playoff games, and it shows.
Leafs only function when their 5 guys who take up 95% of their cap space are at 100%. Marner, Tavs, and Rielly are garbage in the ploffs. And Matthews (who isn’t top 5) can only function well if his all all-star support are at their best game. If any of those factors aren’t in play, the leafs can’t do anything. Will forever amuse me knowing they’re Leafs fans who actually think they’ll contend for a cup within the next 10-15 years.
Not a Leafs fan nor a Vegas fan. Should Boston play Vegas, they will make Boston look worse than the Leafs. Boston ain't done nothing yet. Don't forget last year.
Playoffs is an entirely different brand of hockey. I’m in shock by the comments suggesting the leafs are a good team. They are a goal scoring team designed to bring revenue and excitement during the regular season. The core is paraded around pampered and manicured to get butts in seats.
I swear in the playoffs we play like a fucking ahl team. But at least an ahl team would try. It hurts to watch us play. There's no specific players to blame. It's the whole goddamn team. There's no excuse for this bullshit. Year after year it's the same shit. When will it end
If I could think of one word for the last few minutes of the game, the Leafs were dysfunctional. All that skill, and they had problems entering the bruins end. More than anything else, they have no heart. No drive.
For the life of me, I will never understand Leaf fans who continue to pay absurd ticket prices and pay for overpriced Jerseys, just so they can watch their team embarrass the entire city again. Send a message: Stop buying tickets and spam social media with videos of jerseys being torched. This team is a joke and its time they understood it.
Tough to be fan of Toronto Sports teams now. Argos choke in the grey cup. Blue Jays cannot win a playoff game, The leafs can't win the playoffs and the Raptors are now in a total rebuild.
bro my buddy and i were watching this game and we were flabbergasted by how awful Leafs were today. Especially that Marchand one timer. Sammy was waayyyy too far out. How are the Leafs gonna try to beat Boston at their own aggressive physical game? They simply can't.
Cuz they're not built like that.. how did people predict the Leafs were gonna lose in the first round again after their free agents acquisition this past offseason??.. that's WILD.. 😅smh
Your absolutely right, just bear in mind Boston hass done worse this series. The Boston of a few years ago would not have lost a game, and would have run up the score. Now imagine Boston playing Vegas? Boston will look worse than the Leafs.
What hurts the most is that Boston is really not that good. They will be swept in the next round. Thats how bad we really are. Watch the other series and you’ll see that neither of these teams are going anywhere this year.
At this point, with the amount of talent on this team with effectively zero results that matter, if they fall to Boston, be it in 5, 6, or 7, they need to drop a nuke on the team. Players, coaches, GM, they all need to go. You’ve had arguably the most talented team for what, nearly a decade and all you have to show for it is making it to round 2 a single time? At some point beating your head against a brick wall will leave you unconscious, and the Leafs are one hit away from blacking out.
They’re not a playoff team. Great regular season team but that’s not what really matters. Need a coach like Torts to light a fire under their asses. If you’re not going to play hard you ride the bench.
Like the wings in the early 90s. Offensively loaded but when playoffs came they just didn’t have the grit. That changes when the team focused on Defence first, and just being aggressive. The offence will come if your talented regardless, the other part though is a want, a mentality shift, and a whole team commitment
leafs are a run and gun team that fills the net when teams are barely playing defense but when they get in the playoffs and time and space are at a premium they disappear ! this team is going nowhere !
The amount of disrespect for the Bruins’ defensive ability going into this series was insane. B’s are a great defensive team that makes opponents pay for big mistakes. People act like Toronto destroyed themselves but dude Boston has absolutely suffocated the Toronto “Core 4” every shift, it’s really impressive. Go Bruins!😊
Bro don’t get you’re hopes to high , me my mother and my 4 grandparents could beat the leafs in a series…. Thank Florida for winning that last game to make you play the leafs and you lost your last 2 games on purpose…. Florida is an idiot , they could have played the leafs and you would have had a way harder time with Tampa…
@@waynejohanson1083 learned what ????? Me my parents and my 4 grandparents could beat the leafs… they are the worst team of the 16 to make the playoffs…. Tell me who the leafs can beat in a 7 game series with team who made playoffs ????
I'm a Habs fan. If I understand correctly, the Leafs fans are saying that even with a 3-0 lead in the series, their team will find a way to lose in 7 ?
At this point, the Leafs are trying to beat the record for longest drought in sports history (currently held by Chicago Cubs in baseball with 107 years, 1909 - 2016).
and yet he's the only one to score... he gets a shit ton of hate but he cares more than the other 3. wtf was Nylander the last 3 games.. and wtf was Matthews in the 3rd. I'd take Marner any day of the week.
@@nates5703 that just proves my point... why is everything pinned on the small 2 way play maker?? Where are the other 3 that are the actual goal scorers.... If they can't score then they should be running picks for the smaller guy to free up time and space.. or something... They need a new coach and a new play strategy based on team work not individual effort. Which again.. I'd keep Marner.
@@brianweir9885brainless. Matthews literally wasn’t in the game, singlehandedly won G2. Marner showed up for seconds this whole series. He doesn’t know if he’s on foot or horseback
This team is supposed to win a cup with, checks notes, "simon benoit - jake mccabe, Joel Edmundson - T.J Brodie, Morgan Reilly - Ilya Lybushkin" on defense and Samsonov and Woll in net? This has been the story of the leafs for nearly a decade, and anyone is shocked to see the same result year after year?
@@waynejohanson1083 first goal was a major five hole on samsonov, the next two goals were defense failing to stop marchand from advancing and setting up plays. Offense def needs to show up, but playoff caliber teams def don't stand a chance if the defense isnt there.
We Canadians are LOVING this! Watching the Leafs get KO'd every years is more entertaining than cheering for our own teams. I was the biggest Leafs fan in the world for many decades, but gave up years ago.
So much this; they hang each other out to dry and think because the puck is not near them that its not their problem. It's a major reason they actually looked good in game 2; they supported the puck and had coordinated break outs. It also doesnt help when 3 of the 4 highest paid guys ONLY use their sticks to battle for the puck.
Ship the team to another city I'm tired of this shit every year. Stopped caring years ago but this one really takes the cake as being one of the best teams on paper the leafs have had in 30 years. Kessel and the 2011 boys got further and had heart at least. Truly embarrassed of this team.
I wonder if this is a situation where lots of individual talent isn't coming together as a team, like they should. I'd rather have a group of second-rate players working together as a team than a bunch of individual super-stars all looking out for their own best interest.
Could you imagine if the fans stood and gave a standing ovation to their team instead of booing them off the ice. Where's the incentive to carry forward. Im an Oilers fan. And will support them 100% all the time every game. The behaviour of the Toronto fans is disgusting. So shameful.
They're not a hockey team. I'm surprised people believed any of the fraudulent stat padding the team did through the regular season. The leafs are a bottom 1 team
Leafs playing the playoffs like a off day at the practice rink. They are thinking about summer vacation, not playoffs. Disgusting performance by the whole team.
It’s playoffs. You have to play differently than the season. You have to make sacrifices and be willing to get possibly injured to make game changing plays. You need to be willing to give blood, sweat and tears to make it to end and all we are seeing is tears and little bit of sweat. They have lots of great players but I’m not seeing a “Team”.
Get the clubs out ladies, better chance of winning the masters than getting out of the first round lmao. What a disgrace indeed! Fans gotta stop buying tickets, only way this shit will ever get better.
As Brad Marchand goes Beast Mode in the playoffs and becomes the Bruins version of David Ortiz in the clutch, I still wonder why John Tavares wears the captains C on his sweater. Has he ever done anything in clutch time?
He did score the OT goals that put the Isles and Leafs to the round for the first time in years. But, the fact is, he isnt good enough to be captian based on his abiiity alone nor does he have the charisma or edge to be a leader.
The greatest goal scorer is NOT Mathews, he's 18th on the list and as McDavid has stated in the past, that title doesn't matter. Draisaitel, McDavid and MacKinnon are all better players.
There's not an ounce of grit in Matthews, Mariner and Nylander. Let alone playoff grit. None of these guys have ever missed a day of their off season (aka: golf season) with an injury.
To put it simply, the leafs don’t have it in them
The Bruins are balls-deep in them.
No grit, no sandpaper
They just suck. And I’m a leafs fan. Glad to see marner score as I peresonaly like him but he’s gotta go. He’s to quiet during playoffs. We need to get some actual defensive tallent and a good goaltender. We can’t have $40M locked into 4 guys anymore

Defense is something with hard work even with lower skilled players can be a big factor. Many times, the Hawks could put any line out there against any line. In fact, the 4th line was used as a shutdown line against the best others had to offer. As soon as the Hawks became top-heavy paying their stars, they never won a playoff round again. It is not that the Leafs stars are not showing up. It is they are letting the Boston stars beat them.
Well said
knocked it right out the fuckin park with that one man. i also think culture plays a large factor to the leafs not having success and its the same reason why you see a team like buffalo continuously fail either guys knowing the environment is shit, or there not being any to begin with. i hope that made sense
you could give the leafs any player this offseason and the results probably wouldn’t change. same shit every damn year. im a flames fan and even my team won a damn round before them
All those trades in the off season and all they go was a bunch of gritty forwards. Time to trade Marner or nelander for some top D. They should have kept Luke shene too from last year.
@@liamrose.9 I watched the Cubs go through the same thing. It is as if somehow they carry all the bad history on their backs once the playoffs start. The Hawks went through it also. Then a young man name Johnathan Toews came along. He would not be out worked, and he would not be turned away. He was the heartbeat of the Hawks. The only way to change anything is by example. Give me players who hate to lose over players who love to win any day, anytime. MJ was that kind of player.
I was 10 years old the last time they won, probably won’t live to see another at this rate, or the day they win the excitement will kill me. Either way I’m doomed!
Keefe should have been fired after last season, the fact they kept him around blows my mind. With a team that on paper has some serious skill I put this on coaching. Absolute train wreck.
Leafs fans keep dancing around the real problem and it's Matthews. They doubled down and gave him a big raise for next year, but he's a periphery player at best, can't do anything in games that matter. As long as he's the centerpiece, the Leafs will continue to be one and done every year in the playoffs.
@@Marixa1979 You are 100% correct, but this will not be talked about openly in TO until he retires.
Keefe should have been fired after the 3-1 collapse to MTL.
they kept him, so that the new GM can fire him to save his own job. It's always the MO of the new GM.
Keefe is NOT an NHL coach
I have no faith in the Leafs, they do not have a team capable of beating Boston...reasons why: Keefe - for the last 10 minutes of the 2nd period the team was doing the same thing, trying to skate into the zone with control of the puck...Boston had a defensive system where they could not do that effectively...anyone with a brain could see that but the Leafs kept doing the same thing...solution = try something new, also when in the zone with the puck, have someone block Swayman and then take a shot...instead the plan was pass, pass, pass, pass,...but unfortunately they would cough up the puck and then it would go the other way...sure the system worked against Montreal, and Chicago, and Ottawa but it has not worked against Boston so doing something different would be prudent...I blame Keefe for not adjusting, Leafs need to fire him (not sure who to replace him with)...other Leafs that need to go (on defense): Liljegren (just horrible and should not be on an NHL team), McCabe (I like he that he is tough but he pinches too much and gets burnt on it, not to mention dumb penalties at times...on offense it is a shame we have Nylander and Tavares on long term no trade clause contracts as it limits what we can do..IMO you need a different strategy to our offense as the current offense I look at as being good, just we need a different strategy with Boston, and Keefe has yet to figure that out...
every year i’ve been saying this teams core four are no shows in the playoffs and every year people say they aren’t, they’re regular season beauties but can’t play playoff hockey.
Absolutely agree 👍
As I say, they're the Dallas cowboys of the NHL.
bullshit, they let the rats hit, punch, hook, hold, and obstruct skilled players. we are slipping slowly back to the dead puck era. on the bright side fighting is back :)
@@soyentak5076 that excuse would work if they didn’t fumble every playoffs the last few years with this core, only 2 years ago they had an 3-1 lead against the habs and that team was far from physical in any regard and they still couldn’t get it done. they can’t play playoff hockey.
@@soyentak5076scoring is the highest it’s been since the gretzky era what are you talking about dead puck it’s so far far from that
Marner Nylander and Mathews have no physical game or need to back check .. time to dismantle
lol what the hell is Samsonov doing on that first goal, looks like his first time trying a butterfly 😭
You arent wrong but he got undressed
HE IS A SIEVE
He bet his whole bank account that the backhand was going glove side
It wasnt even a clean break, the D man was there. All he had to do was be square and butterfly. He didnt have to react to a deke at the hashmarks at all. Absolute amateur stuff
As a Caps fan I'm happy we get rid of Samsonov, back then he was very unstable goalie, I don't know what's up with Leafs GM and they can't buy a better goalie line, they spend millions for nothing
The coach should be fired today! Go with Martin Jones in net, Scratch Morgan R # 44, Play old man Mark G in his place.
57 years, & counting.
And a moon landing

One of the richest sports franchises in the world. They make millions in ticket sales, tv contracts, private boxes , and merchandise. They put exciting players on the ice that drive the fans wild. I'm sure there are players on the team who want a cup, but it's all about money and personal stats for the rest. Ownership will never build the close checking , physical team needed to win in the playoffs. They don't want to bore the fans. Everyone is rich and popular. Life is good. And every year the fans come back for more.

I root for the Leafs every year and I'm not even a Leafs' fan because I follow a franchise ever more pathetic than the Leafs, unfortunately.
When a used-to-be-hack like Boston's Trent Frederic (who actually had a nice season) has more goals (2) than anyone else on the Leafs' roster after 4 games, that should say it all. Where are you Auston? I know you can't do it all by yourself but 69 goals during the regular season will easily be forgotten when your TEAM doesn't make it out of the first round. Notice I say TEAM, Auston. Set your records, score your goals, keep on failing in the first round, but what do you really care, right? As long as YOU set individual records, right?
Frederic and the Bruins have WAY more heart and grit than the Leafs can possibly muster this year and like years before. Congrats on moving on Boston. This series is more than over.
Toronto is fast approaching 60 years since their last championship. Like, how is that even possible for such a proud hockey franchise??? They'd almost be better off folding the team and having the NHL give them an expansion franchise. Hell, expansion teams that didn't exist before 1992 have won 5 of the last 20 Cups. Just pathetic for them to be so inept.
They will probably rival the Cubs in championship droughts.
Even worse is they have not even been to the final. All the other 5 original teams have won cups since.
@@pwnedeful But at least the Cubs ended the drought.
@@waynejohanson1083 Went for 100 years though, lol
@@pwnedeful they'll have to keep the drought going until 2075
They just don't have that balance. The team is fine for the regular season and the high flying offence. However, in a 7 game series, they don't have the balance to get it done. They could definitely trade some of that offense for better defense and a bit more grit up front.
I agree 100%. Built for the regular season and not the playoffs.
You can't coach heart. Matthews was disappointed at the end of the year that he didn't get that 70th. He doesn't get paid for playoff games, and it shows.
😂 the best video to date. Thank you, Eck!!
This soap opera never gets old. It is hilariois EVERY YEAR 😂😂😂
As a leaf fan …these are the days of our lives. 😂
@@bmc5388 LOL!!!!! "days of our lifes" start running in 1965. Toronto last Stanley Cup was in 1967.
Almost the same time!!!
every year the media and the fans of the leafs and the Dallas cowboys are planning their victory parade and it never happens ! that is gold
57 and counting, THIS TEAM WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER CUP.
Hilarious**
Leafs only function when their 5 guys who take up 95% of their cap space are at 100%. Marner, Tavs, and Rielly are garbage in the ploffs. And Matthews (who isn’t top 5) can only function well if his all all-star support are at their best game. If any of those factors aren’t in play, the leafs can’t do anything. Will forever amuse me knowing they’re Leafs fans who actually think they’ll contend for a cup within the next 10-15 years.
D1 Leaf hater here, big W for the boys tonight
Love watching marchand humble leafs😂
Been playing D1 for decades hahaha
Not a Leafs fan nor a Vegas fan. Should Boston play Vegas, they will make Boston look worse than the Leafs. Boston ain't done nothing yet. Don't forget last year.
@@Nickh4929 What the fuck is there to humble? Seriously? Elaborate.
@@republica7337 vegas cheats
Playoffs is an entirely different brand of hockey. I’m in shock by the comments suggesting the leafs are a good team. They are a goal scoring team designed to bring revenue and excitement during the regular season. The core is paraded around pampered and manicured to get butts in seats.
I swear in the playoffs we play like a fucking ahl team. But at least an ahl team would try. It hurts to watch us play. There's no specific players to blame. It's the whole goddamn team. There's no excuse for this bullshit. Year after year it's the same shit. When will it end
Not until the Leafs get a marchand type attitude player who will change the culture
There are some common factors:
Nylander 8 years
Marner and Matthews 7 years
Tavares 5 years
Those 4 are losers
If I could think of one word for the last few minutes of the game, the Leafs were dysfunctional. All that skill, and they had problems entering the bruins end.
More than anything else, they have no heart. No drive.
Oh, there were guys who were trying, but their names were Lybushkin, Roberston, and maybe Kampff. Thats a problem
No goalie.
HOW MANY SHIPS HAS LEAFS CAPTIAN GONE DOWN ON?
For the life of me, I will never understand Leaf fans who continue to pay absurd ticket prices and pay for overpriced Jerseys, just so they can watch their team embarrass the entire city again. Send a message: Stop buying tickets and spam social media with videos of jerseys being torched. This team is a joke and its time they understood it.
The whole league has absurd pricing now, but the leafs are the worst
Tough to be fan of Toronto Sports teams now. Argos choke in the grey cup. Blue Jays cannot win a playoff game, The leafs can't win the playoffs and the Raptors are now in a total rebuild.
Leafs should have been the one to relocate...
Not Arizona.
too late for that the leafs have tied up too much cap space on 4 players for wayyyyy to long !
@@henryludvor6275 Relocating ain't gonna make em start winning haha as long as people are paying to watch them play they'll be in Toronto
Thank God the Leafs haven't quit their day jobs , making commercials .
I like this new honest Eck commentary
The Leafs are not built for the playoffs. Not enough grit and toughness.
bro my buddy and i were watching this game and we were flabbergasted by how awful Leafs were today. Especially that Marchand one timer. Sammy was waayyyy too far out. How are the Leafs gonna try to beat Boston at their own aggressive physical game? They simply can't.
Cuz they're not built like that.. how did people predict the Leafs were gonna lose in the first round again after their free agents acquisition this past offseason??.. that's WILD.. 😅smh
Your absolutely right, just bear in mind Boston hass done worse this series. The Boston of a few years ago would not have lost a game, and would have run up the score. Now imagine Boston playing Vegas? Boston will look worse than the Leafs.
@@republica7337yea right lol, Boston has the best record against teams above .500 the bruins are a great team. You just dislike them.
Poor fellas
What hurts the most is that Boston is really not that good. They will be swept in the next round. Thats how bad we really are. Watch the other series and you’ll see that neither of these teams are going anywhere this year.
At this point, with the amount of talent on this team with effectively zero results that matter, if they fall to Boston, be it in 5, 6, or 7, they need to drop a nuke on the team. Players, coaches, GM, they all need to go. You’ve had arguably the most talented team for what, nearly a decade and all you have to show for it is making it to round 2 a single time? At some point beating your head against a brick wall will leave you unconscious, and the Leafs are one hit away from blacking out.
What talent?
The regular season DOES NOT MATTER
Marleau, Thornton, Sundin their careers were permanently tarnished for never winning

that was one of the most historic comebacks of all time. FR, they choked so hard montreal made it to back to the stanley cup final.
Not for the leafs
Such a comeback is possible...if you're FACING the Leafs.
We were up 3-1 on the Panthers last season and we saw how that ended. I think Monty knows he NEEDS to end the Leafs in 5.
Not for the Leafs.
How did this get on the trending page?
They’re not a playoff team. Great regular season team but that’s not what really matters. Need a coach like Torts to light a fire under their asses. If you’re not going to play hard you ride the bench.
Like the wings in the early 90s. Offensively loaded but when playoffs came they just didn’t have the grit. That changes when the team focused on Defence first, and just being aggressive. The offence will come if your talented regardless, the other part though is a want, a mentality shift, and a whole team commitment
Torts is an ahole
leafs are a run and gun team that fills the net when teams are barely playing defense but when they get in the playoffs and time and space are at a premium they disappear ! this team is going nowhere !
@AnthonyD1986 Torts as coach would get the soft 4 to waive their no movement clauses real quick.
@@johnsmith-ph1if no he wouldnt; they will get rid of him before those 4; maybe 1 but not all 4
Bruins fan, I went to bed so happy last night, looking forward to this video.
The amount of disrespect for the Bruins’ defensive ability going into this series was insane. B’s are a great defensive team that makes opponents pay for big mistakes. People act like Toronto destroyed themselves but dude Boston has absolutely suffocated the Toronto “Core 4” every shift, it’s really impressive. Go Bruins!😊
As a Leafs fan, the WHOLE Bruins team looks committed defensively. Covering angles and blocking shots as a unit. And then you have the goalies...
@@Grayto it’s almost unfair how nobody respected their abilities to protect the house. I’d bet even Keefe was surprised!
Bro don’t get you’re hopes to high , me my mother and my 4 grandparents could beat the leafs in a series…. Thank Florida for winning that last game to make you play the leafs and you lost your last 2 games on purpose…. Florida is an idiot , they could have played the leafs and you would have had a way harder time with Tampa…
I think the Bruins learned from last season.
@@waynejohanson1083 learned what ????? Me my parents and my 4 grandparents could beat the leafs… they are the worst team of the 16 to make the playoffs…. Tell me who the leafs can beat in a 7 game series with team who made playoffs ????
I'm a Habs fan. If I understand correctly, the Leafs fans are saying that even with a 3-0 lead in the series, their team will find a way to lose in 7 ?
Life long Leafs fan, glad I didn't even bother watching, friend had a wedding, much better way to spend the evening.
Me too man! Honestly my life is better the less I watch. I’ll always love the leafs but for my mental health I’ve just gotta take a step back.
Yeah, I’m hope your wedding went well. Congratulations to them at least someone gonna win out of this.
Did you b@ng a bridesmaid?
You know you're playing on a terrible team when a fan says attending a wedding is more exciting.
At this point, the Leafs are trying to beat the record for longest drought in sports history (currently held by Chicago Cubs in baseball with 107 years, 1909 - 2016).
Nylander telling Marner to "stop f**king crying" felt like he was speaking for the entire fanbase.
and yet he's the only one to score... he gets a shit ton of hate but he cares more than the other 3. wtf was Nylander the last 3 games.. and wtf was Matthews in the 3rd. I'd take Marner any day of the week.
@@brianweir9885 In fairness, he scored *after* getting scolded. So it seems it fired his ass up.
@@nates5703 that just proves my point... why is everything pinned on the small 2 way play maker?? Where are the other 3 that are the actual goal scorers.... If they can't score then they should be running picks for the smaller guy to free up time and space.. or something... They need a new coach and a new play strategy based on team work not individual effort. Which again.. I'd keep Marner.
@@brianweir9885brainless. Matthews literally wasn’t in the game, singlehandedly won G2. Marner showed up for seconds this whole series. He doesn’t know if he’s on foot or horseback
Nylander another overpaid never was
This team is supposed to win a cup with, checks notes, "simon benoit - jake mccabe, Joel Edmundson - T.J Brodie, Morgan Reilly - Ilya Lybushkin" on defense and Samsonov and Woll in net? This has been the story of the leafs for nearly a decade, and anyone is shocked to see the same result year after year?
But it not the goaltending and the defense that is letting this team down. it is lack of offense.
@@waynejohanson1083 first goal was a major five hole on samsonov, the next two goals were defense failing to stop marchand from advancing and setting up plays. Offense def needs to show up, but playoff caliber teams def don't stand a chance if the defense isnt there.
@@MoreMallards True, cannot win when you play poor D or if you have no offense. Either way Leafs are on life support.

He is in Toronto's head living rent free.
We Canadians are LOVING this! Watching the Leafs get KO'd every years is more entertaining than cheering for our own teams. I was the biggest Leafs fan in the world for many decades, but gave up years ago.
4 days later and we're headed to game 7.
Leafs need to go to a league with only 6 teams…like the last time they won 😂
Marner is like no show Johny Gaudreau in the playoffs. Doesn't have that next level in him.
One of the problems is that they don't support each other along the boards.. like the games first goal.
So much this; they hang each other out to dry and think because the puck is not near them that its not their problem. It's a major reason they actually looked good in game 2; they supported the puck and had coordinated break outs.
It also doesnt help when 3 of the 4 highest paid guys ONLY use their sticks to battle for the puck.
The transformation of this team from regular season to playoffs is remarkable! Unfortunately it is never for the better.
The reason why is this team is built for the regular season and not the playoffs.
The Leafs regard the playoffs as unpaid overtime.
Rebuild time? Or move the team to Saskatoon, then get the next expansion team and start from scratch. 🤣
I gave been a fan since 1967, yes 1967. What a continued let down.
They get their egos pumped all year in the big smoke, think they can walk on water and have a reality check every playoff season
I hope next year they don't make the playoffs.
It will make for a much interesting product overall for the NHL
Ship the team to another city I'm tired of this shit every year. Stopped caring years ago but this one really takes the cake as being one of the best teams on paper the leafs have had in 30 years. Kessel and the 2011 boys got further and had heart at least. Truly embarrassed of this team.
@@chrisevans6293 YES PLEASE.
If front row seats cost $1200 a person, then Toronto absolutely deserves to lose their hockey team. Not the Coyotes
Leafs fans make the best spouses. After decades of disappointment they will still support you.😮
I wonder if this is a situation where lots of individual talent isn't coming together as a team, like they should. I'd rather have a group of second-rate players working together as a team than a bunch of individual super-stars all looking out for their own best interest.
Could you imagine if the fans stood and gave a standing ovation to their team instead of booing them off the ice. Where's the incentive to carry forward. Im an Oilers fan. And will support them 100% all the time every game. The behaviour of the Toronto fans is disgusting. So shameful.
It’s so easy to see the players that love the game and play to win and those that play for a paycheck.
Eck you match my disgust of this team perfectly in this video, thank you for letting me rage a little bit more. I feel better now.
As a Bruins fan I’m loving every second of it. GOO BSSSSSSSS
Just try not to have a repeat of last year😅
The rest of canada would like to thank you
The leafs are your bitch.
Tavares is the worst captain that the leafs have ever had.
Sadly, they are simply NOT a playoff team…they play one game really well and then are flat the next games. Extremely disappointing !
They're not a hockey team.
I'm surprised people believed any of the fraudulent stat padding the team did through the regular season.
The leafs are a bottom 1 team
Samsonov isn't the main problem. The main problem is the Leafs forwards. particularly Marner and Matthews.
Check the tee times. We're cooked boys.
Leafs playing the playoffs like a off day at the practice rink. They are thinking about summer vacation, not playoffs. Disgusting performance by the whole team.
My local NAHL team lost 8-2 in game 4 of the playoffs tonight and I couldn't stop thinking about the leafs
love the videos man - your hockey IQ is solid!
Thank you!
The leafs are looking to put that zamboni driver back in the net for game 5.....HAHAHA
Matthews was obviously suffering from severe dehydration and they couldn’t get him well enough to go out and lose more fluids.
The tradition continues. Brings me so much joy.
Seriously though, why is RR even out there? He’s only an enforcer, which is completely redundant in playoff hockey
It's odd to haven't talked about the 12 shot win for the Canucks......
They’ll be lucky to make it past the first round. My bracket has them losing in 7.
The Canucks did to the Predators exactly what the Predators did to them the game before.
Rope-a-doped them.
It’s playoffs. You have to play differently than the season. You have to make sacrifices and be willing to get possibly injured to make game changing plays. You need to be willing to give blood, sweat and tears to make it to end and all we are seeing is tears and little bit of sweat. They have lots of great players but I’m not seeing a “Team”.
Leaf's look so disorganized: game after game...LoL
The coach changing lines all year long never helped.
That’s why I’m glad to be a Red Wings fan even at our worst we show more heart than Matthews, and Marner core
I thought the Leafs would send the Bruins home early.
But it's evident now that they've continued to be the chokers they always are.
I mean, to be fair, if the Leafs bow out early, they're sending Boston home early to prep for the second round.
you thought WWWHHHHAAAAAAATTTT????
Are you brain damaged? Or is it missing entirely? Not even the Leafs thought this was going their way before game 7.
what in the world made you think the leafs would beat Boston ???
Get the clubs out ladies, better chance of winning the masters than getting out of the first round lmao. What a disgrace indeed!
Fans gotta stop buying tickets, only way this shit will ever get better.
Toronto choking in the playoffs is a beautiful tradition
They didn't Choke they just didn't play well. Last year they played well so no its not tradition
Leafs choking is a traditonal sign of Spring, like the grass turning green and flowers blossoming.
The only thing to be decided now is how much the Leafs will pay Marner to stay in Toronto...
They are dumb if they pay him more.
Eck is becoming increasingly unhinged lmao
Congratulations to the Toronto Maple Leafs for having one more goal than Zach Hyman. Good lord that core is tainted.
As Brad Marchand goes Beast Mode in the playoffs and becomes the Bruins version of David Ortiz in the clutch, I still wonder why John Tavares wears the captains C on his sweater. Has he ever done anything in clutch time?
I have a theory that Tavares teammates do not like him for some reason.
In fact I'm pretty sure he is disliked in the locker room.
He did score the OT goals that put the Isles and Leafs to the round for the first time in years. But, the fact is, he isnt good enough to be captian based on his abiiity alone nor does he have the charisma or edge to be a leader.
he wins faceoffs and he makes like 10 million
Marner is such a child. Throws his gloves like a 7 year old. Absolutely pathetic. Bertuzzi sitting in between like the only adult on the bench
The greatest goal scorer is NOT Mathews, he's 18th on the list and as McDavid has stated in the past, that title doesn't matter. Draisaitel, McDavid and MacKinnon are all better players.
There's not an ounce of grit in Matthews, Mariner and Nylander. Let alone playoff grit. None of these guys have ever missed a day of their off season (aka: golf season) with an injury.
I’m a Leafs fan and this is the worst playoff game they’ve played in two seasons
In memory. Some years they choked. This was???
The only positive in that game is they did not get shut out.
Why did u announce you're a leafs fan 😂 no one cares
gotta love Sheldon Keefe for always mixing the lines up and taking our best guys off the ice only 50 seconds into a powerplay
Best goalscorer in regular season against teams that want to lose is easy. Matthews is the biggest ghost in playoffs when it matters
Best goal scorer on the planet plays for the Oilers. Hyman. Just look at him in the playoffs.
