[@HandShakeLineRespect]

Matthews could have reached 70 if Marner was NOT on the 1st line.

[@dronemachine4694]

That’s straight up delusion

[@KyleMacSkill]

​@dronemachine4694 he scored 10 goals in 8 games playing with domi and bertuzzi how is that delusional

[@dronemachine4694]

@@KyleMacSkill Comparing Domi to Marner is delusion. The Bruins defence is going to devour that top line, I don’t expect it to last long in the playoffs. 10 goals vs what like 6 years of one of the best duos in hockey? Get out of here.

[@KyleMacSkill]

@dronemachine4694 it's not comparing them, Marner is the better player, but as far as pure passing ability goes they are pretty similar, and this year Auston and Domi showed to have more chemistry in those ten games than when he was playing with Marner this year. Matthews and Marner had a couple of good stretches but overall they seemed way more disconnected this year than in the past.

[@dronemachine4694]

@@KyleMacSkill Did Marner not play with Matthews for more than half his near 70 goal season? I’d be interested to see how many primary’s came off Marners stick. Marner is one of the best passers in the league, Domi is not that, playoff hockey will make that plain and clear.

[@lancepayne4035]

Mathew’s would have made 70 with domi!!!!

[@dronemachine4694]

Yeah everyone knows Domi is a better playmaker than Marner

[@jamesmcdude]

Great show boys. And F all these bots

[@BuddaBoomer]

This was Matthew's only chance at 70. Not saying he's gonna fall off or anything like that, but that is just such a hard milestone to hit, I don't see him having another season like this. Everything has to go just right for that kind of number, I doubt he gets this close again. Still an amazing accomplishment, and I do think he'll get 60 again, but you don't get that many chances to make history like that.

[@jockejocke1]

He can only blame himself. After his 69th goal, he had *31* shot attempts! He had 24 shots on goal and 7 missed shots (wide, over, crossbar) trying to get to that 70th.

[@JOE0671]

He definitely is going to have a few more chances at 70 barring injury. Two years ago he hit 60 while still missing 9 games. Covid season pretty sure he was on pace for 60+ or close to it if there was a full 82 games

[@teeflight]

Looking forward to this series man !

[@stevandrljevic8289]

If they did sit Matthews and then lost in first round.. Keefe head would be on a spike and blah blah. They just has to go beat the Bruins and people will move on

[@jeffer1101]

The Leafs should have locked up Matthews and Marner long term and traded Nylander a year ago when his value was top. They could have used the cap savings for some help on D, added depth up front and perhaps improve the goaltending. I also would have explored ways to get out from under the Tavares contract. Not the player, the $11M cap hit. Unfortunately, they're trying to keep the band together, long after they should have moved on.

[@jimbeaver27]

I agree, Willy is so one dimensional, so soft on the puck.

[@jordanmcmullen8454]

My prediction is marner and Tavares will be gone within the next 2 years

[@_Nywoe]

@@jordanmcmullen8454 me too, I hope so regardless of playoff performance

[@dreg9124]

personally i feel lke Keefe saying "he's been done with the regular season hockey..." isn't letting him off the hook at all, he was ripping into him. Basically saying his play looks like crap, isn't trying etc.

[@regularjoe2325]

I truly, think it looks much better to let the team that's hosting to allow their star player to get his milestone at home than to allow the visiting team's player to get his milestone, it shows great sportsmanship on the part of Matthews and The TML's. As a fan I'm happy with the way it turned out. We can put the regular season and all the hype behind us. Now, it's Play-off time, a whole new season begins.

[@luc0007]

1:31:30 Kyper making himself crack up is great. Love this show. Sportsnet better not ever cancel it 😡

[@28_Spokes]

Usually things that work is the first to go.

[@DaaaaaBears]

Knies should be on 2nd line with Tavares and marner, leads team in hits and had instant chemistry and JT since last playoffs, jarnkrok Robertson mcmann and whoever else can battle for last few spots. Knies only one out of them that still has a ceiling to reach and continues to get better

[@HeWhoRoamsAimlessly]

Third line Kampf C, willy, Robertson on the wings fir line 3?

[@williamgiven7892]

I have no idea why the boys are so down on Knies. He is learning how to use his stick to make room for himself and working hard along the boards. Big difference for a kid coming out of college hockey.

[@DaaaaaBears]

@@williamgiven7892 he’s taken a couple bad penalties but that’s gonna happen when you fight for the puck and out muscle people, if you go back and watch Tampa series last year it’s crazy how many goals came from little plays from knies in the corners and along the wall, don’t always get assists for plays to keep possession leading to goals including the series winner

[@DaaaaaBears]

@@HeWhoRoamsAimlessly ideally jarnkrok back for one of those wings or can put Calle on second and move knies down for matchups but knies/tavares seemed to work and jarnkrok can chew up 3rd liners with Willy and holmberg too

[@dagger4442]

You know I believe Matthews needed to play in the last few games...it wasn't all about scoring 70 man....the guy needs to play more in pressure games...esp before going into the playoffs. I believe playing more in these situations will help with any performance anxiety issues....you know gripping the stick too much. The guy has never had to worry about making the playoffs in his NHL career. You need to have the blood flowing abit..some adreniline before going in. Look it the success of teams fighting for a playoff spot against teams who aren't in the 1st round. Leafs need something to play for going in I think.

[@JustinDickins]

Good point! I also thought that it was an early taste of the playoffs with so much focus on defending him. He needs to think about why he couldn’t score and work on that in the real games.

[@johnthorpe1349]

[@billhubbard6841]

Toronto Maple Leafs! They parlayed their years of great picks into the most expensive diaper load in NHL history. Playoffs not hard to predict with this group.

[@magneto8002]

Sounds like the Oilers.

[@roccomaciocia8211]

I noticed when they started getting more pucks to the net..we were coming back in the 3rd period...a little too late...as well as in Florida.

[@leaffanking]

Have a great playoffs LEAF Nation Go Leafs Go!

[@dougbell9543]

For the Leafs, it’s always all about the payroll-dominating core fore. ✔️

[@ArniePorter]

Matthews and Marner have never got it done in the playoffs together. They need a different look.

[@toddmullin-3519]

The team made so much about seventy goals , with a little talk about Nylander getting one hundred points.

[@philbegnone6646]

IMO. Leafs loose in 4 or even 5 without a whimper or even if they get to 2nd round and compitulat, shanahan, keefe and probably marner gone.

[@me5atworld]

Have they tried Tavares with Bertuzzi? There style seems right for me.

[@milkers7919]

The assist for Kucherov is easier, but don't forget that Kucherov also scored a goal. The bottom line is that teams that win cups show up when it matters, whatever the objective, and the Leafs don't. I had them beating Boston, but now I'm don't think so. Those demons will come back

[@chelious1973]

How is the assist easier? He faked the shot on the pass. Not easy to do.

[@jesseburke3990]

​​@@chelious1973lol of course its easier to get a assist then a goal it's harder to get 150 goals then assists in a season what you talking about lol plus you get 2 assist on every goal and only get 1 goal on a goal

[@deadlydadgaming126]

The Sweet Swedes on Line 3 with Jarnkrok - Holmberg - Nylander? That sounds pretty good to me for the playoffs.

[@disinformationworld9378]

It is absolutely asinine to say we are going to get rid of the core 4 when you see the goaltending performances the Leafs have put up this year. The only reason I am not confident for the Leafs is the goaltending has not been acceptable and we don’t know what we are going to get. If they get decent goaltending they are a top 5 team. I have no clue if they will win because the goaltending is such a mess. What kind of goaltending are we getting this postseason?? Watch the FLA series last year it was closer than it looked. Leafs goaltending was soft as heck and cost them a quick FLA series. Huge risk to bet on a rookie and Samsonov in the playoffs. I like how Samsonov recovered but how smart was it to put a goaltender with difficulty dealing with setbacks (mental strength) in a pressure cooker market. You are asking for a disaster if we see the same stuff again. Samsonov was awful in game 1 against TB last season. Management made this choice to keep him as no 1 for another season.

[@10Kreccords]

"Utah Buzzer Beaters,"😎

[@ProggaWoggga]

I don't doubt that Samsonov and Woll are giving you their best, but if the Leafs really want a deep playoff run, you need to get another body during the off season. Seems whenever the goaltending is shaky, so go the Leafs.

[@ObviouslyProductions]

Leafs in 3 Let's go 🎉

[@paddy160160]

Curious to see where the chips fall this post season,as bad as the Leafs have been the last few games,The NYR have been the polar opposite,more to the point...listen to bolth coaches post games this past week

Boy will you guy's have lots to talk about on Monday. Any free tickets for game three? I will still go.😅

[@moonlightmelodrama]

Don't overthink this. You pay half your cap to 4 forwards. Your PP is humming along at 10 per cent. How is this not a recipe for an early exit?

[@MILSPECMOM]

Final 4 or 1 of the core 4 must go.

[@RobFazekas-ky2ow]

Just wish the leafs had tanev and savard going into the playoffs and a forward like crouse

[@gregthomson7889]

If they had just played the last few games normal he would have 70.And it killed him when Domi got hurt.

[@williamgiven7892]

I agree. Matthews scored the first 65 goals in real hockey situations. Scoring goals is as natural as breathing for him.

[@roccomaciocia8211]

Willy doesnt drive the puck to the net like he did in early season..hes gotta change that.

[@jimlangdon1947]

It just will be the season - remembered for decades - that Matthews failed to score 70. Auston was set up for failure. At least the Leafs had a 5 game winning streak - they are a much stronger team without Morgan in the Leaf line up. But Leafs Executives don’t manage the Leaf Core 4 well in any way. 😀 Why did JT not at least focus only on setting up Auston? No Leaf other than Matthews should have scored - when the objective only was for Matthews to get 70.

[@steverobinson8771]

Giving up 22 goals against, in the last 4 games of the season, is not exactly ideal preparation for the play-offs... eh?

[@VangeliRock]

8:48 so if Matthews doesn't have a great offensive playoff and people say it's because he played the last few games of the regular season? Thats the dumbest thought anyone can have.

[@unimpressively_charming]

very depressing last 2 games. Sammy saying he didn't waste a bullet but the reality is he wasted 3 on the last 3 games.

[@doubledee6234]

Boston is going to be tough. The leafs have to be tough as well but do they have it?

[@pjmmaloney4458]

Jarnkrok is a ghost in the playoffs - every spring. Why would he even be considered for the lineup?

[@regularjoe2325]

I agree with Kyper. 100% 🇨🇦🍁🏒🥅👌👍

[@roony1092]

If Dubas stayed, I think he would've traded either 1 of Nylander or Marner for Karlsson. Maybe not a 1-for-1 trade but one of our guys would have been gone. Just based on how quickly he pulled the trigger on the trade when he became POHO for the Pens.

[@disinformationworld9378]

What a dim idea. Karlsson trade for a core player is just closing the window to win. You only trade if you are winning the trade. Especially if it is a young top 10 scoring talent.

[@waldmarwolchuk9483]

Heard the NEW name for the Utah Team is The Utah Mormons

[@eatingsnowman]

Who's gonna take the Leaf's annual playoff suspension this season? will it be Max Domi? or will Knies chicken wing Marchy?

[@muckyhd]

Nick Robertson has more hits than Willy lol

[@jesseburke3990]

Last Time someone got 69 or more was same time someone got 70 or more so just the same lol

[@sempcast]

“Tent Arena” ⛺️ Kyper legend 😅😂😂😂 anyways, no chance Morillo in the equation in several years… they’ll drag him through court with multi-billion lawyers to give back the net proceeds… first before ever letting him re-up the new team.

Utah Stingers, it’s a tiny bit different than the Sarina Sting 🐝 like VGK circumvented the London Knights claim.

[@sambabisky4742]

Didn't you guy know the Leaf's have a box in the room with a switch on it that keys them up to play their AAA game. When you play some Farse games before the play offs start it gets you ready, doesn't it Kipper. How many times have you ended the season playing crappy and then be a killer team right away? Did you say never?

[@leaffanking]

salt lake??? ffs Kyper that place is out there and low pop.

[@phils6733]

It’s tough playing in Boston? If your losing yeah it would suck so take the lead and dominate and it won’t be bad at all 😂 gotta say this though leaf fans are the quietest fans to fill up a building anywhere…it’s pretty sad! Make some Fn Noise

[@craigcrawford6749]

Why is it bizarre to get 70? Wtf? Leafs arent doing anything in post season. Hockey is for the fans? If the game meant anything jones wouldnt be playing along with a few others

[@willyupshaw]

It isn't. These guys just want to pretend that they're above the whole thing, because it didn't happen. If it had, these guys would be singing a totally different tune.

[@billhubbard6841]

I agree , hard fan base, media circus to play on

[@seanlee6955]

Why doesn’t Sammy want to resign Bertuzzi?! I don’t get it. If he shows up in playoffs your tune will change. I actually hated him first part of the season. I totally changed second half. Him domi and Mathews are a great line. I don’t get it.

[@redtoper]

They totally got off any normalcy that they might have had in their game. Now they have to shunt back to a decent level of game play. Hopefully they didn't ruin themselves.

[@VanMichael21]

What a gong show it turned out to be all just because everyone wanted #34 to get 70...kinda wraps it up in a nutshell explaining the leafs, selfish and that's why they can't and won't accomplish their ultimate goal which is Lord Stanley. God, I just wished Toronto didn't try that damn hard to get him that 70 and just played the game organically then Matthews most likely would have to 70 I bet.

[@TheOldFashionedDad]

If he doesn't start Domi - Matthews - Bertuzzi he is a moron. I like Kyper but I don't know what his attachment to Marner - Matthews is.

[@bernardbeninger5942]

That desperate sideshow of getting Austin his 70th symbolizes everything that is wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Where as other NHL teams have their eye in the prize half a dozen superstars on the Leafs roster are only in it for themselves. Management are continually walking on eggshells so afraid to hurt some primadonna's feeling? Wtf guys it's a disgrace. The majority of hockey fans across North America can't stand this organization for that reason. The media in the GTA treats them like they're walking on water, but I have no problem with the fans. They are there through thick and thin it's been admirable. Going into the playoffs thinking this is our year finally we're going to get it done but you're all going to grow and to your senior year still waiting for this team to take things to the next level. They're gaslighting you every single season and it's unlikely it's going to change anytime soon.

[@willyupshaw]

Seeing how NOBODY for ANY TEAM has gotten close to 70 in almost 30 years, your comment is ENTIRELY speculative. The truth is, if someone playing for, I don't know, the Buffalo Sabres or something, had been sitting at 69 with two games to go, it's very possible that the team would have spent two games feeding him the puck. In fact, I find it highly unlikely they wouldn't have been. Fewer people would have cared though, I agree with you on that.

[@whoopass2rb]

Eh I think you're a little too fixated on one side here when TB did the exact same thing for Kuch. The reality is, it probably shows how much harder it is to score 70 goals VS get 100 assists. And that's not to take away from the accomplishment for Kuch or McDavid, but Kyper nailed it. When you're passing, your team can play like a team in order to accomplish the goal. When you have to be the one to score, everyone has to force things to you and the other team just has to shut down 1 person, not all 5. The goalie only has to try against 1 player to prevent to score, not 5. And that outcome was very obvious between both games in Florida. The minute Kuch got his milestone, TB stopped playing with any amount of care with the exception of stopping Mathews from getting his moment. It's ok to want to accomplish special milestones, especially for / with your team mates. Sure they aren't as great as winning the cup, but that doesn't make them meaningless. What really bothered you is how much the team really didn't care to put much pressure to play real hockey in the last 4 games. If you want to have a serious discussion about that, I think that's a fair take.

[@wearethe80s4sure]

If you guys give me free tickets for game three, i will chant CAN A DA! CAN A DA! Hopefully we get to do that on 3rd game.😅

[@bluetocop]

[@craigcrawford6749]

70 should have become a sideshow. They ain't gonna do anything in the playoffs with the shite goalies and a team that is going to be buried by the Bruins

[@craigcrawford6749]

I called that. Samsonov is 81st in save percentage in a 32 team league. He simply cannot start a game without letting in the first shot. He shouldn't even be in the minors

[@willyupshaw]

This is pathetic hindsight gloating. Matthews had so many chances over the last two games that it's unlikely he didn't get it. If one of those pucks had gone in rather than hit the iron, these guys wouldn't be able to say any of this. Rather than admit it was inevitable that the Leafs chase it, which it was, these guys are choosing "I told you so," rather than, "no big deal," which is the appropriate response.

[@billhubbard6841]
