A lot of things happened that you could point to. Like only getting one PP goal in 2 series is doo doo. You're not winning a Stanley Cup with that inept special team play. Just ask the Isles. Ultimately I think game 2 broke them. You give up a late goal with 3 secs left to go down 0-2 in the series is not something you could recover from, especially against the 2 time champs. I think it's group effort for why they got swept.

Yeah, even on the late goal in game 2. You look at the replay, instead of a player staying in the slot to cover for his goaltender. The 2 defenders go after Kuch behind the net and Kuch passes it to a wide open Ross. Like, you can't do that.

This is why I love when angry Leaf fans ask for Marner to be traded. The dude would probably be a MVP candidate anywhere else besides Toronto.

In NHL terms imagine if the Leafs signed like....Shea Theodore, for more than any defender had ever been worth
and he totally shit the bed and was utterly useless
dim kettle
In this era of Leafs Hockey he'd have an up and down season and then disappear in the first round completely.
dim kettle
It's not a matter of what man they need it's all in the players' heads.
When Point scored that OT goal in game 6. I can guarantee you the players mindsets were "Oh no, we're gonna lose another game 7 again" Comes with the territory of being on a team that just fails over and over again over the last 50+ years.
dim ledge
Yeah mentality has to go into it at that point. Especially when you're arguably the biggest team in the biggest country for this sport
Hence my comparison to United except United actually have semi recent success

The sad part is this year's first round exit wasn't even their fault. They went to 7 games and met playoff Vasy at the worst possible time.

It's literally his country and that's a massive matter. We have to stop dancing around the importance that represents
Idc what anyone says, whatever role he'd have as Real isn't going to be nearly as important as his role is now at psg.
You're 23 and have a say in who can come in to play and manage AND you're earning bank? Come on lol

if he wants to become one of the best players in the world he needs to go to a big clun

If he's not one of the best players then you shouldn't care about having him and this convo can end

I still believe it'll be a lot more impactful and meaningful for mbappe to do something special for PSG and their fans... Leading them to their first UCL would be an incredible achievement honestly.

It's not a matter of what man they need it's all in the players' heads.
don't even think its entirely that
could just also be the leafs just haven't had luck fall their way for an entire series
i get that before but they didn't even play worse than tampa in game 7
from what i watched both teams were sloppy
robust grotto
Twitter
celest zephyr
the leafs scored on vasi in an elimination game and arguably had another one with the goal being called off due to a pick
no team has done that in the other like 5/6 most recent elimination games tampa has played. really don't see how LOL leafs game 7 happened this time.
dim kettle
There wasnāt a lol leafs game 7 this time. They went through game 7 Vasy. Difference.
celest zephyr
yep
just mentioning it since you went the leafs had the mentality of 100% losing game 7 which i really didn't see
dim kettle
I didn't say specifically losing game 7, I'm saying most years it's in their heads.
celest zephyr
When Point scored that OT goal in game 6. I can guarantee you the players mindse...
.
i saw that lol but what about this
dim kettle
I still believe that. Like, yes they made it competitive, they didn't play worse than Tampa, but the Leafs didn't play better than Tampa either.
Not 100% the fault, but it was at least a majority thing.
celest zephyr
yeah fair enough
always thought it was game 6 or loss
hopefully they'll get it done sometime but idk anymore. going to be hard to field as good of a team in a year where the other teams are probably going to be as good if not better
too many expiring contracts and not much cap space to do anything about it
barring an amazing offseason this team is likely taking a step back
dim kettle
If I'm Leafs management I have to ask myself "Does it really matter what we do in the offseason?" Like, you already had the amazing offseason when you got John Tavares in 2018. And that clearly hasn't done much.
celest zephyr
mikheyev, kase, engvall, spezza, blackwell, sandin, lili, campbell
i mean yeah it does
this team can't afford to regress
dim kettle
Regression is inevitable.
celest zephyr
sure it is obviously, but what's the solution building a worse team?
dim kettle
Well, what exactly in the last few years has indicated that the Leafs have been so much better making moves? They end up at the same goal line.
Not saying blow it up, but saying what's really gonna change if you in fact do anything. The fact that nobody knows how to fix it is quite the indication of things.
You could've asked the same thing for the Caps before 2018. What were you gonna fix with that core and what moves were really gonna matter?
celest zephyr
fix it? fix what lol. kinda a narrowminded take to just lump every single one together as the same thing
the only thing that'd kinda make sense is being soft and i didn't see that much this postseason
montreal has been the only team they have been favoured against. columbus was a wash in a year where they battled injuries and faced a team with the same number of points
dim kettle
Well, do you have a clue what the Leafs need to do this offseason to get passed the first round?
celest zephyr
re-sign/acquire guys to have depth and goaltending
its a luck based game lol. its only really been the past two seasons where it can be argued that they've built a roster with not many flaws in it
i can argue what can any good team do to improve their odds?
what can florida do? what can carolina do? not much because offseason doesn't equal postseason
so the answer is nothing but that's the exact same for every single good team that isn't the lightning the past few years
must be nice to bea lightning fan the past two years and win it all while being able to ignore what happens to other contenders
try to maintain a good team like every other good team tries to do obviously for the leafs
unless guys in the core get injured for an extended period of time this team is going to be a playoff team
dim kettle
Kinda brings up the question of how long before most of the Leaf fandom turns on the core that has only brought pain to their hearts? If they haven't already. they're always changing tones at a fast rate
celest zephyr
that's leafs fans. happens to a lot of teams really
winning, but not winning it all makes people panic
forgetting that being teams like the sabres is way worse
and its also the only reason this team isn't a middling team
dim ledge
Seems Tchouameni to Madrid
Waiting for Fabrizio but yeah that seems to be done smh
dim kettle
Well, they're two different feelings of frustration. I know this seeing the Bolts fail with this core before 2020. The Regular Season and Post Seasons are two different things honestly. You could be a loser in the regular season or you can be a loser in the post season.
Like ask a Sens fan from the early 2000s how they felt winning all the time and losing to the Leafs in the post season year after year, they might of preferred losing in the regular season.
dim kettle
forgetting that being teams like the sabres is way worse
"But you know what the Buffalo Sabres haven't done, is lose to a zamBONI DRIVER!!!"

washington has too many old players and nonexistant goaltending

I was concerned about the comeback things too. Could only comeback from things for so long. But clearly I was right about the adversity concern. Once Ross scored that last second goal in game 2, they were done
celest zephyr
yeah that felt like it ended it
very little reg wins also
42 is good, but for their point record and total wins that's a pretty low percentage

they tried, theyāve been trying. theyāll spend money in the roster and in the staff. In a league where they could be another Arizona or Buffalo, they found a way out the trench and are at least somewhat relevant

well he needs to start with his fitness
its abhorrent

i don't see him starting over vini

denying him game time to let Hazard try to recapture what he was doing 5 years ago inhibits his growth as a player and thats just not worth the risk
dim ledge
You're typing this to me as your RW is the entire reason you're even playing us on Saturday
pure badger
Lol

Rodrygo is better on the LW imo but Vini occupies that spot, he's kinda inconsistent at times ar RW but is a great Super sub at times.
tho he's been better a lot lately
pure badger
Rodrygo and camavinga are amazing subs. The energy that they bring in changes the game

Camavinga practically initiated a lot of those UCL comebacks, guys really young and making an impact in his first season.

It's the reality of this is the modern NBA where there's little to no defense and everyone is trying to hit 3's.
honest umbra
ur right actually siren
everyone is shooting so its either a blowout for one team or other
depending on whos hot
and once u fall to 15 in the first quarter
u have to shoot ur way back into the game
and ur not gonna win that way
celest zephyr
not really no defence as much as just lack of creativity in offense for a lot of teams
so much just spam pnr, shooting 3's etc
honest umbra
27 straight missed 3s
and they still didnt lose by that much
like ive geninuely watched every conference finals game this year
and been bored
mavs-warriors game 2 was slightly entertaining
dim kettle
It's like baseball. Everyone is trying to hit the long ball and when it works it's exciting, but when it doesn't, it becomes some of the most boring crap to watch. This is why I compared modern basketball and baseball to a sugar rush. You get the highest of highs then you crash.

they def aint matching his offer
celest zephyr

they can't get anyone if they don't match
unless the terms screw them over hard they'll match it
celest zephyr
under normal cap or no cap then yeah they would consider that
