    "We don't care what you guys say. We just focus on ourselves." That's the problem. They focus on themselves. They forget where their salary comes from. They focus on themselves instead of the people, like me for example, who have believed in this team every minute since my mother let me stay up to watch a whole game in 1966. They are supposed to be doing this for us. Not them. They're professionals. Maybe they shouldn't be. Remember when Derek Sanderson joined the WHA. He became the highest paid player in professional hockey and Harry Sinden told him that was a mistake... that he couldn't handle that much money. Maybe the players today don't deserve that much money. They certainly aren't earning it. Guys making under a million dollars are doing the work.

    I was talking with someone and indicated I would find a new team to cheer on instead of the Leafs. This guy told me I'm not a true Leaf fan if I'm thinking of pulling out. My answer to him: I'm 78 and have been a Leaf fan since I could walk and talk. So a loyal Leaf fan for over 70 years I've given them, and now, I think it's time they thought about me. How about giving back to me for a change instead of me doing all the giving. 70 yrs of giving and someone is going to tell me I'm not a loyal Leaf fan. This is a two way street. I give 70 yrs of my heart and soul to the Leafs and they give what, a cup in 1967 and nothing since. What is it these guys want from me now, blood? Time to get off their high horses and put in an honest day of working for a change. Most people in this world work a lot harder than these soft mushrooms and get paid less in their entire lifetimes than these leaf stars make in six months. Enough already. Don't tell us you don't read what the reporters are saying, maybe listen and read and it might put a purr under your saddle to put a little more effort into your job. Too bad we don't have a Paul Maurice to light a fire under these guys and remind them how the game should be played.

    To be blunt..
    Marner's comment came across as "I'm a Toronto Maple Leaf. I helped this team win a playoff series for the first time in 19 years. I know, living in Toronto, the refs are screwing us, because we're playing better. I mean, they're Florida. Everyone knows they don't care about hockey 🤷"
    Aka, he sounds like a fan that happens to be on the ice.
    We can't say he deserves ALL of the shit, he was the guy who most helped them win their only game against the Panthers.
    But there's also Matthews with, what, 1 assist?
    This series was the fans 'asking for Florida' and the Panthers using that as momentum and motivation.
    The Leafs didn't have ANY of that. Why would it? Why would Toronto look at the '17th best team' (points wise, 15th in wins) sweat Florida?
    Aside from Bobrovsky being the most experienced goalie in any series in the second round. Aside from beating the best team in regular season history. Toronto had 2 goals in every game for the last 7 games and went 2-5.
    And some fans will say 'well they still won two games, so there's that, right?'
    Yeah, there's that.
    I watched the Flyers and Kings come back from 0-3 deficits and BOTH teams played a defense first game where they utilized turnovers and top goaltending. That wasn't Toronto.
    Game 5 was their best game of the series (after a piss poor start) but NONE of them were complete efforts.
    (On the 'not Columbus' Bedard thing, he actually went to the worst team. The Hawks had the fewest pointed efforts, or games with points produced. And here's where that matters: if people are talking the Flames being better than the Panthers [despite 4 more wins], then sure. The Hawks were a 'better team'.)

  • @theadventuresofjimmycrapol8827

    can you imagine... it's 2034, the Toronto Maple Leafs for the first time in history, make it past the 3rd round and they are playing for the Stanley Cup in game 7... but it's a Monday night, and their star player, Jim Smith-Jones-Graham-MacKenzie has his DMD (Designated Maintenance Day as negotiated in the CBA) as Mondays... He declines to play, of course. But, their opponent, the Tokyo Trans-Dragons has a star player who's DMD is Mondays and Fridays, but he decides to play. The Trans-Dragons win the Cup but under controversy, and the NHLPA files a grievance because the team asked him to waive one of his DMDs for this one game...

They get training on how to speak with the media too I believe. I think he should have just said were going to just focus on 1 game and nothing more and compete to the best of there abilities. He takes thinks too personal I think...he must realize that ANY NHL TEAM BEING DOWN 3-0 the same script will be made bc its rare for an NHL team to come back.

    Couple of comments on Mitch Marner's comments: 1) he clearly knows what the media is saying to say he doesn't care what they are saying 😂, and; 2) maybe him not listening is part of the problem...

    The captain should set the tone for others to follow. JT has worn the C for so many years and hearing comments like this speak to a lack of leadership all the way around. Keefe, JT, Reilly and Matthews.

    Also if Marner ever looked at hockey videos or especially Leafs videos on UA-cam in the last month or more, UA-cam will send him more related videos. We all know he checked himself out in the first round or at the end of it. So UA-cam will be sending him all the Leafs news videos, and it is pretty hard to not see or read the titles.
    Instead of putting that failure pain and anger into playing better, he casts it outward at people reporting on his work.

      They should show Marner videos of Doug Gilmour and Wendal Clark playing in the playoffs in 1993. That is what heart and determination looks like.

    Sorry, it's crazy that we're dumping on NBA guys when hockey players play, as a top defenseman, maybe 30 minutes (half) of a game.
    NBA players play 12 FEWER minutes (48) and guys like Lebron are on the court for 40+.
    With half a quarter to play, he's got over 120 minutes these last three games.
    That's over twice what a hockey player pulls, in less possible time.
    The amount of money for hockey players is less than football or basketball because of two VERY specific factors.
    The first is time on the field.
    Ideally, in football, it's more than half the time.
    60-70%. No hockey player will play 40 minutes in regulation.
    In basketball, 40 minutes is 5/6ths of the time. In hockey numbers, that's FORTY NINE MINUTES.
    Not triple OT, quad OT, 120+ shots between the teams.
    That's regulation.
    So if we're talking dollar value, you literally can't compare hockey to other sports or find yourself saying that 'Lebron making 30 million is worthless'. No, paying one line on a hockey team 30 million is worthless.
    No team that pays players like that has ever won a Stanley Cup.
    It just doesn't happen.
    And even in basketball, guys like Lebron and Embiid and Giannis and Curry are simple linchpins that the team uses as a base to win games. They still need a complete effort, but rarely does the bench (of whom there might be 10-14 players) outscore the starting 5.
    Because basketball can be a very one dimensional sport.
    It's unlike any other sport, but it draws comparisons to hockey due to players having to be dynamic, adaptable, offensively capable, and defensively knowledgeable.
    But the similarities end there.
    Goaltending is the one area where a single player can drastically change the course of a game, a player who plays the entire game, and often, a player who utilizes load management in order to stay healthy and playoff ready.
    And like the NBA, that player rarely ever doesn't play.
    Which is probably why most teams have crap games in the playoffs.
    Basically, their goalie who might have played 2-3 games in a week during the season is now playing 3-4 games EVERY week.
    I don't think the NBA should utilize rest management in the playoffs, but I do see why coaches use it during the season.
    People dumped on Tampa for basically using it for Kucherov, and it paid off and a ton of fans were upset about it.
    But they still made the playoffs in a great position WITHOUT him.

    Grow up Marner..you're paid far too much not to care. Step up to the plate and show 'em what you got!

    Mitch is playing sloppy like he did before he got benched in Anaheim. Unfortunately, with elimination on the horizon, it's too late to bench him in this series.

    It's time for "Attack Mode game plan ", stay with the 11-7 lineup. If the final outcome is a 8-6 high scoring , wide open affair, so be it. At this time, utilize your top 6 into a transition game. Attempting to play a sound defensive game (3-2 win) is Not working. Leafs need to play on their toes and put Fla on their heels approach. Roll 3 lines Not 4 lines in 5 in 5 situations. Lines that were effective once upon a time-Matthews with Nylander and Jankrok brings more offensive options, O'Reilly with Marner and Tavares (@ LW -less defensive responsibilities on the wall). Remaining 5 fwds , rotate to form 3rd line. These new looking lines may create Panthers different match ups. Defensive mistakes , blunders are inevitable for this group of Leafs, so why not go on "attacking", attempts to play a small/lessen amount of defensive mistakes game (3-2 win) is Not working. Load the top 6, roll only 3 lines, probably more push back then what we've seen. Go Leafs Go
