Matthews comes back and while he did set up a goal the leafs play man fell off a bridge this game

May have happened either way but this was what I was afraid of.

Anyways to late now wait till next season

Absolutely not.

If the Leafs can't win, no other Canadian team should

Posting this here for good measure. If we have to come back to this team with any of the same coaching staff or core players, we should start some sort of protest.

I dont even want to waste a second of my time thinking about this team until the draft. Taking a long break from the Leafs. This team is absolutely pathetic. I could go on for days about how much of a waste this season was, but I'll save the breath and save you all the time.

Heard Hrudy blame Sammy for not coming out. I didn't see it that way. Maybe a poke check opportunity missed. Reilly was flat footed and didn't seem to see the play developing.

I’m sick to my stomach. Careless effort there by Marner and another year of AM34 wasted. I’m disgusted.

3 errors on that play. Mitch lost his man, Mo was standing around, Sammy played it poorly

Nah **** it rant time

Alright so we have invested 46.65m into 4 forwards. Yet and this has been an issue since game 5 of the TBL series last year TOR has struggled to score more than 2 goals in playoffs

This team in 13 of its last 14 playoff games couldnt get at min 3 goals.

Huh?

Then we move on to special teams. Okay so Chynoweth I am willing to give you one more shot as your past 2 seasons with TOR have given us positives. Boucher you can **** off as your dog**** PP cost them games this series ending 1/21 4.7% HOLY **** even Manny Malhotra did better.


And this is what really pissed me off game 5 and 6 you smashed BOS without Matthews. And as soon as he comes back its like the reverted back to old habits like braindead children. LETS JUST ICE IT 50 TIMES OVER UNTIL BOS FINALLY SCORES

Goalies did their best Sammy fought in game 7 and hey what can yah do.

One player pretty disappointed with Rielly. Where the **** was the guy from the TBL series b2b who could just score from anywhere

Team has a lot of decisions to make this summer and a lot of work to do


But I will say this you cannot bring back the core 4 2024-2025 enough its time to end this era and start a new one

It was a miracle they even made it this far.

Really questioning the ceiling of this team right now and the sh*tty thing is, even though there's gonna be change, I don't see it improving us significantly enough, if at all.

If they bring the core 4 back the definition of insanity comes to mind

They have been together 8 years and we have seen 1 series win

Enough is enough its time for a change

Whether its Marner or JT figure it out.

Use the money elsewhere and go build a more balanced team that can actually score more than 2 in the playoffs

Goaltending needs to be sorted as Woll cant stay healthy

And this Dcore needs to find some balance.

Here's the offseason thread. Don't want to see the words "Leafs" and "Playoffs" in the same sentence again out of fear of getting sent into a potentially fatal laughing fit.

Now the rant.

Shanahan and Keefe need to be gone. Absolutely no justification for them being with this team next year. Tree get a bit of grace with it being his first year on the job but I want a new president pressuring him to make big changes.

Marner at a minimum need to be gone from the core 4. Tavares is going to be hard to move, but I don’t care, find a way. Buy him out if you have too. And maybe it’s an overreaction but I honestly think a Matthews trade should be explored. How many more crap playoff performances do we need to endure before we hold him accountable. I’m sick of Matthews getting a pass because he’s a generational talent. Trade him and get a massive haul and retool on the fly.

My guess.
Shanahan and Treliving stay.
Keefe gone.
Most/all assistants gone.
Big 4 all stay.
Brody, Domi, Bertuzzi, Sammy gone.
Lilly and Robertson 1 year deal and/or traded.

Basically - do the easiest thing.

At this point I want them to look at Matthews trades. We need to stop only criticizing Marner and giving Matthews a pass. Matthews has been crap in the playoffs year after year and every year we go “well he’s a generational talent”. I don’t care, if he’s only going to score 1 goal every playoff round in a random game 2, he’s a useless player.

The guys im more pissed off with is JT and Rielly


Can JT pls retire this summer as 1PPG is not acceptable for a guy making 11m

Rielly just disappeared I think Lybushkin had more points than him......


And look at that off the core 4 Willy showed up again while the others slumped into oblivion


But man its kind of funny I was right on the dot of what could happen if Matthews came back lul
