DIRECT quote from Sheldon Keefe: “You can question a lot of things, you can’t question the effort.” my brother in christ, we have been questioning the effort of the Leafs since 2019.

[@TheRiverweasel09]

Sheldon has no idea what to do with this team, and frankly, no head coach could do better. The Leafs are just entirely, completely, definably awful in the playoffs, and this core is never going to change.

[@people3865]

​@@TheRiverweasel09I don't believe Keefe is the man for the job, but I (somewhat), agree. This is an effort issue. They aren't 18 anymore. Mitchy isn't actually 9yo, contrary to his behavior at times.

[@Roberte9834]

Sheldon is cooked, he was never an NHL coach

[@CD-yr8tw]

The effort is shit.

[@TheRiverweasel09]

@@people3865 Honest to god, look at the spread of Willie's stats pre-contract and post-contract. Marner is good for old doughnuts and Tavares is good for one goal every four to five games. The core takes up roughly half of the Leafs salary cap. You cannot win like this. Auston is the only star you have on Toronto that I trust actually gives a proper fuck about winning. I'm a "maybe" on Reilly.

[@Kaboom-xp4lc]

Problem is Marchand respects his opponents so he fights harder to win any possible way even if means taking a beating for his small stature.

[@Scott6794]

I agree. Hockey is a sport where force of will and passion alone can sway the balance in your favor over anything, including skill. A decent player who is playing with everything he has will always beat the perfect player who doesn't have his head on straight. Its part of why I love the sport and respect the players. It was difficult to watch the Leafs (even as a Bruins fan). I didn't even enjoy it all that much because i ultimately felt bad for the fans. ​@DiamondKingVideos Just wanted to add, regarding Marchand, I haven't agreed with every stunt he pulled or his behavior at times but he gives a shit. It's that simple. He wants to win in a visceral way. His vital signs change, etc. But these Leafs act like they are playing a charity game. They clearly don't care about winning and they have very poor chemistry as a team.

@@VOLUMEnightclub you see them two prima donas yelling at Mitch on the bench? Then he scored and shoved it up their ass 😂 love it. Matthews can score 100 goals in the season but becomes a ghost when it matters most. Defense wins championships you need depth grit and heart to win a cup. I feel for leafs fans. I'm a Hawks fan btw

I noticed that in the third period. They kept banging it off the boards and I started laughing because the Bruins beat them to the puck EVERY...SINGLE...TIME lol

Yes its dump and chase Leaf style. Leafs dump then chase the Bruins back to the Leafs net.

They have to fire Keefe TONIGHT. 1. 5th longest serving coach currently in the league, and three ahead of him have all won cups 2. He's clearly allowed the special teams to implode 3. If you fire him tonight, you may spark a miracle Ivory coast fired their coach IN THE MIDDLE of a tournament and became African champions. Fire Keefe before game 5 and see what happens.

[@robyschwendi2856]

would be the BEST! I said it since November! FIRE 🔥 KEEFE NOW! Nothing to lose! Go Leafs 🍁 Go!!!

The leafs need to win 3 straight against a team they’re 0-3 against in the playoffs, against a goalie they’re 0-7 against this season all while being on a 0-6 home playoff losing skid, with a team that’s 1-8 in their last 9 playoff series in the past 20 years.

[@chickenteriyaki9501]

Well, they are doing it against a team that blew a 3-1 lead last year.

[@bens.7523]

@@chickenteriyaki9501 And the Leafs nearly recovered from being in this exact situation against the Bruins 6 years ago with an arguably worse team.

[@KHayes666]

Leafs beat the Bruins in Game 5 in Boston in 2013, 2018 and 2019. I have no faith in the Bruins closing this out in 5 lol

[@Kallogee]

Sounds like a stanley cup run in the making. Wonder if anyones ever beaten odds like this?

[@KHayes666]

@Kallogee The 2008 Boston Bruins lost all 8 games against the Montreal Canadiens that season where they didn't even have a lead. They were down 3-1 going back to Montreal for Game 5......and smoked them. Then they won one of the greatest games I've ever seen in Game 6 to force Game 7. So yeah, this series is NOT over

[@people3865]

Why, in gods name, did Keefe take out Dewar. That 4th line was buzzing. Doing EVERYTHING a 4th line does. Get the puck deep, hit everything that moves, cycle it to tire out defenders, and get off the ice.

[@zppv5981]

Terrible decision. Like most of his in all honesty

[@SJSsesco]

Why oh what WHY did Skeefe break up the best effective line in Game 4 😖🤦‍♂️

[@plushie946]

Dewar was playing like he wanted to be a permanent fixture. Like he wanted the cup. That's unacceptable. Only players with 10 mil+ contracts who play like their golf reservations are set for 2 weeks are allowed

[@bluesky9940]

That was a typical Keefe move, prefers a soft skilled player over a gritty checking player..

[@Outta-hz1ej]

Dewar Kampf and Reaves are absolute plugs. Speaks volumes about the rest of the team that they are highlights.

[@acerock013]

the wild thing is if Boston wins this series, Sheldon Keefe will likely still keep his job.

[@crazyhorsejohnny1974]

Nope. He gets fired and Berube is hired.

[@BluesFanReacts]

God he fucking called it so hard

[@artystaar]

At least Matthews had the decency to take his dump in private, unlike the other Leafs who did it on the ice with everyone watching.

[@therockieshockeypodcast]

That took a lot of effort too, according to Keefe

[@RichardTavilla]

As a Bruins fan, I have to tell you not a good luck for your player to miss the third period when I see hockey players coming back I’m broken legs and getting stitches on the bench winning culture means a lot. You guys are a better team and still can come back, but that was not a good look

[@therockieshockeypodcast]

@@RichardTavilla As a Flames fan, totally agree. Don't wanna be hard on a guy who's sick, but Matthews had to be unable to stand up to not play the third. Guys have broken arms and don't go down the tunnel, like you said, thats a winning culture.

The team that's winning has Coyle and Zacha as their top 2 centers .

[@robyschwendi2856]

am i suppose to laugh 😂 with sarcasm or begin to cry 🙈😢... ?

[@ellemdraws]

the most depressing part (for leaf fans) is that those 2 have the same amount of points as the Leafs top 2 centers. It gets even worse considering how Zacha and Coyle combine for a cap hit of "only" 10mil and Marchand is killing it with 2ppg at a cap hit of 6,1. 16mil cap hit compared to Matthews and Tavares 22,6 mil. Just insane to think about it.

[@KHayes666]

​@stangsswang8355 You know how the Bruins win? Swayman. How many saves has he made that Samsonov didn't? Same as how Tuukka Rask outplayed Freddy Anderson in Game 7 in 2019 amd Vasilevsky slammed the door in Game 7 in 2022. The Leafs will never be a true contender until they get elite goaltending
