The Leafs are the most embarrassing team in pro sports

The Toronto Maple Leafs just lost another game 7, going down this time to the Boston Bruins in Overtime. We'll talk about the Leafs and their playoff woes on today's NHL hockey playoff video... Toronto maple leafs and boston bruins game 7 overtime discussed!

So true lol. This was literally the most heartbreaking way for them to lose it. Go up 1-0 with like 10 min to go and they have been shutting down any good chances the past 2¾ games and to give up the tying goal shortly after was crazy. Then go to OT where I thought they were going to get a lucky bounce and take advantage. Really pumped my B's pulled it out the way they did and to rip out the hearts of leafs fans again makes it that much better. So much better than had they just beat them in a blowout

As a Panthers fan that was watching the game with my dad, that's so true. Any Leafs fan that says "we lost because of Samsonov" is honestly delusional. Defense was staring at the puck instead of checking the shit out of Lindholm, and again, they left Samsonov to dry for the OT winner.

I'm so tired of a 40M core that is supposed to score, and can't get more than 2 goals in the past 13 playoff games (2:14). Is that really coaching's fault? The coaching is barely allowed to say anything challenging to these core without having to walk it back. And Montgomery said Pasta had to step it up, and look he stepped up at the most critical point. I think it's on the players, man honestly. ...

[@barbellsjoysticks9802]

It’s not the coaches fault. You’re seeing what most leaf’s fans see but are too afraid to admit. Our “high octane offense” dries right the fuck up in the post season. Nobody can score a goddamn goal on this team

[@peacebringer8]

Every team changes the scoring in the playoffs. Matthews played well, apart from what? Game 4 where he was injured? Nylander after coming back played well too, created lots of offense. Out of the Core 4 the one we can definitely say didn't play AGAIN to the potential that is expected of him was Marner. Apart from one play here or there, he did absolutely jack throughout the series.

[@RetroHondo67]

It’s up to the coach to get the best out of his players, is that their best? They need a coach who uses the regular season to create accountability and get the players to buy in. It’s too late by the playoffs to have your power play that listless, a proven winner needs to be hired who understands what the head coach main job is, to make sure his team is ready and building momentum into playoffs. Leafs don’t take care of details because the coach has not made them accountable during the season. He needs to learn the personality of every player and learn how to motivate them. Anyways, surely changes have to come now for god sakes.

As a Leafs' hater, you can't fault anyone for that OT goal; it was a set play that involved the Bruins knowing exactly how their own rink's boards react.

[@sequoiax7094]

Samsonov could have done literally anything. Come out to challenge. Try to play it. A Poke check. Anything. Instead he saw a Bruin and dropped to his knees like he was auditioning for Jack Edwards job.

[@andersalstrup3077]

After it came off the boards I'm not sure why Samsonov took the risk and waited. After it bounced off the wall he could have taken a step or two out and moved the puck to the corner or somewhere away from pastrnak

[@marcforget33]

This is true but the leafs defense was caught flat footed. They didn't have home ice advantage. They knew this before the game started.

[@thewolfshirtguy]

FKN LOSERRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@NatPat-yj2or]

Nonsense. Samsonov had more than enough time to poke that puck away before Pasta got to it. As a Bruins fan I was shocked to see that this goal was preventable. The boards react differently all the time, they are always moving and changing angles every time fans hit them, and players hit them. They have flexible links. This was simply a matter of throwing the puck at the net and hope the puck bounces in your favor.

[@Bruins721]

As a bruins fan, if Woll played game 7 we would have lost but samsanov played good tho i couldn’t imagine the pressure of a goalie in game 7 in overtime

Both teams are great that gave it their all in all 7 games. Both opponents gave their fans a time to remember! Good sportsmanship at the end.

Turrible, time for some long overdue heads to roll in Toronto. This era was a failure to put it lightly. Matthews and Nylander are the right 2 to commit to but it’s time for Marner to go, the bright lights are far too bright for him. Tavares is unmovable so that’s just how she goes. Keefe and entire coaching staff gone, Shanahan gone, Morgan Rielly also shouldn’t be completely untouchable. It’s just over with this group, has been for years.

[@schmingusss]

That means no playoffs next year.

@@schmingusss They aren’t sniffing anything besides their own asses you cannot keep trying with this group, it’s over.

Toronto has some great offensive players, but their lines are not cohesive together. First line is essentially a second line... second line w Tavares/Nylander/Knies is essentially a first line... then you throw Matthews w some 3rd/4th on your third, but ultimately just play matthews interchangeably between the top three depending how long he stays on ice for shifts... just fxcking up any rhythm or flow to their offense til late in games. Matthews needs to become less selfish, so he can be productive w other top players, and they need to find some higher skilled Power Forwards to play along w them cuz Matthews Tavares/Nylander/Marner... none of them are going to go into the corners w enthusiasm or intent at this stage of their careers

[@davidbarnett8617]

Heaping franchise failure on these young men is a bit harsh. They had nothing to do with historic collapses. In fact, Toronto was excellent in this series. Without Matthews, they fashioned an epic comeback forcing game 7. I have nothing but respect for a great Maple Leaf season.

[@abefroman7393]

As a Rangers fan, the Leafs played hard and have nothing to be ashamed of. One team has to move forward and any team still standing is worthy of hoisting the Cup. It takes a combination of skill, luck, stamina and health to achieve the ultimate prize. I tip my hat to them for offering a strong season that was entertaining to watch.

I think a lot of "what-ifs" and "what-abouts" could've seen both teams playing significantly better than they, and we *still* got an incredible series out of it. I know all too well how much it sucks to go out like that, and I know this'll come as very little consolation, but, shit: even as an opposing fan, I think y'all did brilliantly and have a lot to be proud of.

I would have wished that they had learned YEARS ago, but after Game 4's melt down, it seemed to really sink in. Marner needs to go, even if it is for nothing, just to clear the cap space. Who is taking that contract? He also has a no-move. Unless he takes 6 million on his next contract (he won't), I'm not even sure I want him at that depending on what else is available.

I had this game going to 7 before game 1 even started, and I think bruins beat the panthers in 7 as well. On paper the bruins are nowhere near the best team, yet here we are. I'm content now that they've finally passed round one, and though I wont necessarily be disappointed in them losing in the next rounds, I also wont be surprised to see them in the finals. Yall better think twice before doubting this team. The fact that the bruins lost half of their team in the off-season, yet they still managed to get this far, is unbelievable. I'm so happy they actually won this, and I'm sure they can make a deep run. They have been the underdogs all year round, even when facing .500 teams, but have always managed to prevail in one way or another, thanks to the system monty has been running. Anyways, Florida fans, I have a whole lot of respect for you for beating tampa despite what happened last year, and I'm glad we could both enjoy this game 7 against the leafs. See you soon.

[@David-ve8pk]

This was one of the best series of the playoffs so far. Other than Vegas and Dallas. Toronto played amazing except for OT. The Bruins shined in OT. This is not a game that either chocked or not. The Bruins would have lost themselves letting Toronto win the series.
