forecast for the series against Boston: Leafs lose game 1. Keefe goes back to Marner on line 1. Leafs lose game 2. Keefe puts Nylander on line 2. Leafs lose game 3. Keefe puts Rielly and Brodie together. Leafs win game 4. Everything's great. Leafs lose game 5. Management does nothing and keeps core together.

[@ThisIsSparta300]

👏 mind reader. Coming back to this lol

[@asharpbflat7179]

Definitely in the realm but I don't think Domi, McMann, Jarnkrok will be ready, plus maybe a 4th forward might be injured. They got banged up hard chasing 70, running around like headless chicken. Nylander, Matthews, JT all got CRUSHED, wouldn't be surprised if one of them is out. So that leaves no space for line juggling anyway. But I don't think we'll see Rielly-Brodie (doesn't matter who's scratched or injured). Not that Sheldon wouldn't do it, but others (Guy, Brad?) hopefully won't let him do it 😬

[@shakenbacon3655]

You're not wrong, but it's always HOW the Leafs lose that's a factor. Giving up 5+ in their last 4 games, the team not showing up as your superstar goal scorer has a chance to score 70, never showing up in the playoffs, etc. I think if the Leafs came out, were buzzing all game and Mathews just didn't bury one. Most people would be more positive about the situation. I also think most people still recognize that 69 is still one heck of a season!

Nothing to be sad about with 69 goals. The record was 61 just a few weeks ago, set by Matthews and broken by him over and over again. 70 would have been great, but he simply ran out of games. Hell, 80 would be great, just not enough regular season games. Plus, there are still more seasons to come with Matthews. We have not heard the last from him and his record setting goals.

[@07foxmulder]

Should’ve happened last season but I’m assuming Treliving wanted time to evaluate. I do believe that anything less than the conference finals will end with Keefe being fired.

[@Alexdenomme]

It sounds like MLSE has a new president that's hard-core about success in their franchises across the board. The plan isn't about revenue at the expense of success. The new head wants success to bring revenue. The rumors I've heard are a complete bust up of upper management unless the leafs make a deep run. I don't know if they want finals or conference finals minimum. But no success this year means no more shanahan. Tre just got on board. He was part of the new MLSE boss' moves. He also seems to be building this team by getting prospects to develop. The way Stanley Cup champions do. He's not wasting assets on steroids at the trade deadline. I doubt keefe will be here next year either. But tre seems to already be shifting the focus in the direction they want going forward.

[@isaacfernandes560]

@@Alexdenomme I hope you're right. Because it's a fact the Bruins will steamroll the TML and this won't even be a close series. 5 Games at most.

He’s wasting so much energy from the boys just by being so lazy.
