They are NOT a playoff team..

OK Guys, its time to review game 4 between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs.. The Bruins won this game by a score of 3-1 and once again.. Brad Marchand's DNA was all over this game.. The leafs stars are MIA... John Tavares, Auston Matthews, etc etc. They just can't seem to get the job done during the post season..

Cant spend what they need on their ass end. Most teams nhl are lucky to have 1 top goal scorer. Edmonton is the only other team but they only have 2 ,but even thats too much and they pay for it in the assend and goal8es as well. But their situation is bad ,but not as bad as leafs. So i dont have any sympthy for them . They want 4 top guns thats the price you pay. Lol I love it !!!

I think it's important to compare the Leafs with other teams. Florida 2023: Down 3-1 in the First Round? Win next 3 games, Finals appearance. Boston 2023: promising season, but an early exit and many saying they're done? Compete for the Presidents trophy the next year Tampa 2024: Down 3-0, a situation they've never been in? Win 6-3 to stay alive Maple Leafs 2017-2023: ONE series win in 6 tries. Montgomery, Cooper, and Maurice have ALL found ways to get their team going. Keefe and Babcock almost outright REFUSE to do so. The players also seem uninterested.

Sheldon Queef is a joke. After last night he shamelessly said "nothing wrong with the effort tonight". He only lasted this long because of his buddy Kyle Dubas. Zero accountability with star players, they walk all over him. Only silver lining is he'll be fired when the season ends.

[@vpreggie]

Here’s an idea. The Leafs should go out and get tough character guys like Domi and Reaves! Yeah, real admirable warriors who bring a team together and toughen up the atmosphere. They could NEVER be a detriment to the team in the playoff. Check! Hire a yes-man coach who just sits pie-eyed behind the bench and starts bitching about what every other team in the league does. Check! Bertuzzi was their only real worthy signing, but even he is in over his head. He’s a complimentary piece, not a star. And Tavares? Has this guy done anything to prove he’s the super star we’ve been spoon fed since he got there? Nice guy, but i’ve never seen him carry the team in any way.

[@theold4734]

the thing is that problem was never the toughness, goaltending (freddy was great) nor defense. Problem is and always will be the core. They simply dont care in the playoffs why? cause they have no heart all they ever care for was individual records and money.

"what do you do with this team if they lose in 5" You just trade / fire everyone. They all lack the will to win in playoffs. They need to learn that. And obviously no one is breathing that energy into the team. It's not by changing 1 part that it'll change. because that 1 part will get crushed by the overwhelming majority of people that learned that just sitting down in the face of adversity is easier... and you get paid anyway.

How can you trade players with bloated contracts who phone it in during the most important part of the season? You think the other GM's aren't noticing this?

Shanahan had a vision for the team that hasn't gone anywhere. Dubas fired himself to get outta town while the gittin was good. Keefe - they were afraid to fire him and pay the playoff loss price. Yup, fire them all and get a better vision for the team and see what players fit/don't fit that vision. Getting some high draft picks back would be helpful.

Leaf fans are not the problem. I'm 53 years old and have been a loyal leaf fan all my life so If we are critical it's for a good reason. Both management and players are only in it to make money. All other reasons are secondary including winning and it shows. First Mathews signs an insanely huge contract. 13 million and change. He didn't even consider taking the same money he was making which was insane already. Then Nylander does even better with a 3 million dollar increase. I got news for you. Marner will be no different. Marner is making 10 million and he only scored 26 goals this season. He is also the most easily shut down in playoffs. Samsonov gets paid 3.5 million but he is a 1 million dollar goalie at best. The top 2 lines are usually cancelled out by the other teams 2 lines. It takes a full team to win the cup. Bad Coaching, bad Defense, bad goaltending and no offense. I wonder why we can win?

@Hockey Junkie Hey Matt! Hope you are doing well and enjoying the weekend! I was wondering if you and Gary are thinking of making a new episode for the fix podcast?

[@thisspacenotforrent]

2:50 well said...how to fix the Leafs: fire Keefe, he is trying the same things that were not working during the regular season against Boston. Trade Timothy Liljegren, and Jake McCabe...the first defender is useless in the NHL, the second one is tough but gets caught too often...let Bertuzzi, Domi, and Edmundson are free agents after this season...let them go...Bertuzzi is ineffective, Domi takes too many dumb penalties, Edmundson has too many gaffes on defense. Someone needs to spend the offseason with Reaves training him on hockey basics. He means well, he works hard (which is more than I can say for our top 4 expensive players) just his skill level needs to improve as that 1st period giveaway was horrible...a shame we cannot trade Nylander and Tavares...see if either will wave their no trade clause...in goal Samsonov is inconsistent, Woll since his injury has been inconsistent, and Jones is not good enough yet so we need a starting goalie...yeah start there and then lets see what we have next year...this team was done since the trade deadline when we picked up not enough to help us on D...

It's up to the coach to develop a playoff system. If it falters, don't do line up changes but analyze why the system is failing and adapt accordingly. This is what NHL playoff coaches know. Too bad Keefe doesn't.

I told some Leaf fans signing Tavares would probably backfire. How I would fix it. I think I would keep Matthews and Nylander. Trade the two home boys if possible and get some good power forward for the first line and some other center with character for the second. Good goalie, beef up the defense a little. What they need is leadership, it's what's missing most and they need to find it outside the team. I would get Kadri back if possible, that would change things.

Matthew's is hurt very clear to see! Too much offensive star power and not enough physical fire power we have seen this before! The leafs have a great offense but they lack defense and in playoff hockey defense rules you can lack offensive weapons and still win with physical toughness! This is not a coaching problem it's a G.M. problem! They need to trade one of there offensive stars (definitely not Matthews) and bring in a couple of good defensive players I am a die hard Bruins fan and I expected a tougher series! It's not over yet but I don't see the leafs winning 3 straight without a healthy Austin Matthews! No matter what happens in this series the next round will be tough Florida is a beast and the Rangers are a problem for anyone! Gotta love the NHL no matter what your team is ranked when the playoffs start if your team is clicking they have as good a chance winning the cup regardless if they are the 8th seed or 1st! Hockey is a timming game and good physical hard work is very disruptive! Still though the leafs offense is deadly when they are on their game my condolences to the Leafs fans your team seems to let you down every year! 😢 I don't know how far the Bruins will go I think they have a good chance to win the eastern conference because of how well Swayman is playing but it will be a battle the feeling in Boston is we want another offensive weapon but it's hard to complain when we are on the verge of eliminating the best offensive team in the world and is proof that great offensive teams are not guaranteed to advance in the post season!

what part of atlantic canada is this fella from? felt like I have home in newfoudland listening to this

[@MrLuchenkov]

The solution is to clear some salary cap by trading one of the top players. You don't need Matthew, Nylander, Marner and Tavares taking up salary cap and not producing as they should. Clear one or two of those bad bois and get yourself one or two good D's and perhaps a more solid goalie than Samsonov. That's about it. There's no secret recipe here. Whoever doesn't jive with Matthews and Marner in that top 4 quatuor needs to go. If Marner and Matthews can't play together, you trade one of the two. The problem for the Leafs isn't a problem of talent. They got plenty of that. They just don't seem to have any heart and chemistry. Too many big egos on that offense, not enough leadership. Oh, the other problem is that they got no trade deals with most of those players so they *have* to keep running this team for another year.

[@MussellRartin]

Yeah Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares and Reilly all have no trade clauses. They pucked atm
