They’re the same team. Add another offensive guy, and they still have the same problems, and will get the same results.

For every other team in the league, don’t over react to these playoffs, they’re just too weird.

For the leafs: this team is just conceptually flawed.

Lmfao off they better hope they don’t win him. Can you imagine the contact he’ll get. 15mx5 years. No way they can afford Matthews they better hope not lol

Get ready for 6 months of nylander for Josi type

Laf is at least physical. I thought this game exemplified the difference between a regular seaaon game vs playoffs. TOR had tons or speed and posession. Got bumped off the puck too easily. Didn't win enough board battles.

They did also run into really good goaltending

That and just pathetic defense and defense is 5 skaters on the ice not 2.

This team would still get bounced in the 1st round like their others as they can't defend. Then you'll hear more about their next scapegoat added to the likes of: Nylander or Barrie....with a list going back years-- Jake Gardiner, Dion Phaneuf, Cufo, Larry Murphy, or Babcock or lack of Matthews ice time, etc.

Good teams start with good defense and one or two elite guys up front. Loading up the front and the backend as an afterthought is not a good strategy. It makes for fast run and gun hockey which is fun to watch for the fans but doesn't work in the playoffs....maybe that's what management wants; fun to watch more then winning a cup?

This Leafs team needs to be disbanded. I honestly think Dubas should be fired, but if he's not, he gots to make meaningful moves this summer.
