a lot of no shows yet again. Spezza & Nylander wer the only two forwards that showed up. Like Marner keeps saying we have to show up on time , but he thought the game was on Tuesday.Another woe is me from Marner & Matthews. Coaching was not great either. How can you put only one shooter on PP. Nylander Spezza Matthews would be three shooters. But no just matthews with 4 passers all trying to pass the puck into the net & everyone in the world knew it except the coaching staff....Marner Matthews was not working, did he put Nylander with Matthews try to change it up, get Matthews away from Dounut? They have to dump Marner some how. Pretty sure he is the poison in the well.

[@dhruvdath1815]

@@allanmmclean I know matthews and marner were amazing in the regualr season but it's clear matthews and marner aren't working in the playoffs. If they keep marner (because lets be honest, they're going to keep him) I would like to see nylander play with matthews and marner play with tavares. It just makes more sense to me, two shooters on the matthews line and we know they can play well together and marner and tavares played well with babs as well. Spezza, no matter how old he is, I want to be resigned because he showed up. They need to improve the defense a bit more as well. An interesting offseason indeed.

as much as i blame Marner(and i do a decent amount), a lot of the blame need to be on Keefe as well for literally not doing anything about it. Matthews and Marner wasn't working. CHANGE THE LINES!!! Marner didnt have a single powerplay goal the entire season. Take him off the power play!! What's that? He isnt there to score goals? He sets them up? Well last i saw, almost no one was scoring powerplay goals on the leafs since the halfway point of the season. Leafs had the worst powerplay in the league from halfway to the end. Less than 10%. Ya the top guys need to show up and they certainly take their fair share of blame, but Keefe literally did nothing to change the situation either. Pretty much from game 1 to game 7, he did the same thing game in and game out with zero change to get things moving. As far as im concerned, he's just as much to blame as the players are in this scenario.

They had the 18th most points but they allowed four teams from each division in no matter what, including that Gawd awful all Canadian division where the MCs went 24-21. Bad team, didn't play an American team until the Cup semis ALL YEAR! Then the Knights lose some 3-2 games and this team's playing for a cup they never really earned a chance at so it's great that Tampa Bay sent the right message of who they really were in '21. Oh, and THIS YEAR....the whole league showed them who they really are once the NHL got back to real divisions and not taking four from each division automatically. So please don't even act like Montreal was the 2nd best team in hockey in 2021 as they weren't even close to that no matter what the flawed playoff format allowed for them to get away with.

Sure it's a game, but it brings people together and gives us something to attach our emotions to. Watching the way the Leafs folded, and the resigned expectations of the fans, it's hard to really take much joy out of that. I had told myself "if the Leafs have to finally break out, do it this year while we are still getting our team in gear" and had accepted the possibility of it just this once. And yet. Anyways, I don't want to pile on but I just wanted to say that all fans are essentially the same at their core, and so I feel for you guys. Also respect to Steve for sharing that charity for Residential School Survivors.

Hey Steve, I’m a Bruins fan returning to this video after watching it shortly after it’s release. I came across your channel, frankly, by accident. I started looking for hockey content on KZbin and found Dang-It’s, which I loved. It brought me to LFR, a channel that I never thought I would be interested in. A year later, I would consider myself a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs (though I’ll always root for the Bruins over the Leafs). I watch your videos, yes, sometimes because it’s funny to watch the angry guy scream, but also because you are a genuinely entertaining, insightful, and passionate individual who loves hockey in a way that is great to enjoy regardless of which team you root for. I know 2021 was a tough season for you, and I hope the Leafs perform better in 2022, because you deserve it. I’m a Leafs fan, yes, but really I’m a Steve fan. Keep up the great work.
