<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Again he wasnt the issue that game or series. Issue was our PP was dog**** 1/21 and this team couldnt score to save its life

Sammy had a 0.910 that game

Basically how we were playing was to where goalie had to get a shutout or only allow 1 goal to win not a viable strategy for a team who in the regular season averaged around 3.65 goals per game

This teams paying a bunch of guys to score but in 13 of their last 14 couldnt get it done enough

As said before did not matter who was in net the bigger problems caught up. 12 goals in 7 games = unacceptable for TOR who finished second in goals this season

Nylander came in late and had the same goals by the end as JT, Marner, Matthews combined lul. He gets the pass rest no way hose

Embarrassing as the last issue for TML should be scoring goals since game 5 of last playoff vs TBL they have had this problem

As for new coaching to solve its not enough. Marner Matthews and Willy have been here 8 years and JT 6 and of that 1 series win. Were paying these guys as if they won cups and for regular season performances but come playoffs the fizzle out with only Will performing good enough for now. Once that 11.5m kicks in he's also gonna have to step it up a bit. Enough its time for a change

Cant just keep building around the edges or replacing GM'S, HC, etc time to fix this team at its core

FLA was not afraid to trade Huberdeau

VGK trades guys almost all the time

Its time to start the winds of change and start a new era for TOR. Follow the raptor formula get a new HC and trade a core piece out to balance the team</div></div>

Florida won the Tkachuck trade. Do you think we are going to win a Marner trade? We literally have the GM who lost that trade making the decisions.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Now the rant.

Shanahan and Keefe need to be gone. Absolutely no justification for them being with this team next year. Tree get a bit of grace with it being his first year on the job but I want a new president pressuring him to make big changes.

Marner at a minimum need to be gone from the core 4. Tavares is going to be hard to move, but I don’t care, find a way. Buy him out if you have too. And maybe it’s an overreaction but I honestly think a Matthews trade should be explored. How many more crap playoff performances do we need to endure before we hold him accountable. I’m sick of Matthews getting a pass because he’s a generational talent. Trade him and get a massive haul and retool on the fly.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>At this point I want them to look at Matthews trades. We need to stop only criticizing Marner and giving Matthews a pass. Matthews has been crap in the playoffs year after year and every year we go “well he’s a generational talent”. I don’t care, if he’s only going to score 1 goal every playoff round in a random game 2, he’s a useless player.</div></div>

Here's my backup to your point: Imagine where Edmonton and Colorado would be if the likes of McDavid/Draisaitl, MacKinnon/Makar were putting up numbers that Matthews and Marner have these playoffs and past playoffs.

Our top players are paid similar to what other top players around the league make so the production offensively and defensively has to match that of other players around the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CameronSquires</b></div><div>That's just unreasonable to say trade Matthews. He shows up more than most, he single handedly made the game 4 comeback last year.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>He has 24 points (10 goals) in 23 games over the last 3 playoffs</div></div>

Yah but he’s supposedly a generational talent. Point per game, 10 goals in 24 playoff games when he has 69 in 81 games is simply not good enough, there’s no 2 ways about it. Not to mention he sucks in elimination games.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a phenomenal player and I’m not going to be disappointed if (well, when) he’s still in the leafs next year (Marner is the main one who needs to be yeeted into the sun). I’m just annoyed that he constantly isn’t as good as he should be when it matters most.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsForLife</b></div><div>Exactly my thoughts. I wanted the Leafs to win badly, but I can’t say I was surprised with how the game, series, and season ended</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>I'm numb to this result.
This is now what happens year in year out.
Not surprised.

I almost had hope when it got to game 7 but brought back down to the ground .

Lack of scoring is the continuing playoff story, yet again.</div></div>

Hey you guys remember those 80 seconds right after Willie scored when we all thought they'd do it.

God that was nice. And **** them for immediately blowing it. 80 ****ing seconds. That's all these losers could do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I watched some of the jets game today. And comparing their style vs TO's is ridiculous. They skate so fast and pressure you in waves. TO is predictable. They cycle in the offensive zone and slowly. Sure it works in the regular season but in the playoffs. Teams figure it out, keep us to the outside and then we can't score. And Keefe does nothing to adjust. Like zero rush chances with this system. The PP is also predictable as well.

It's systems stuff and adjustments need to be made to attack what the opposing team gives us and that doesn't happen. So it's hard to pin the blame on the core. They have produced, not enough to mask the flaws on the team obviously but they have produced. And that production has come in spite of the poor game planning and coaching.</div></div>

Notice that I named players from many different teams and could have kept going on with that list. But anyway...

I have a comparable for you. From strictly a coaching point of view, Toronto and Edmonton were similar in that Keefe and Woodcroft. I feel similarly about Woodcroft to how I feel about Keefe but the difference has been is McDavid and Draisaitl have been showing up regardless of who is coach.

We'll just have to agree to disagree with the discussion of core guys making a difference.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>Blaming Marner for that Pastrnak goal is crazy, that lands on Benoits shoulders.

Marner is a great player whose given a short leash. He's either forced to be Matthews' personal assistant or carry the load of Tavares and Knies. Under another coaches system, Marner would pot 40 goals.

If we were to trade him (which would be a huge mistake), I actually don't hate Random2152 's idea. I'd love to get Doan out of Arizona / Utah, big fan of that kid. I think Crouse would be an unmitigated disaster under Keefe though, he seems to struggle with players like that. Unless you are a low maintenance speedy 2 way winger, you won't find success under Keefe. He completely fails to utilize those wildcard players to their strengths. The only teams that make sense for Marner IMO are New Jersey and Utah. Again though, I'd be crushed to see him dealt</div></div>

Marner was giving worse production than REAVES last night...

And Pasta was Marner's man, the Leafs were playing Man on Man defence... Can't let Boston's most dangerous guy in the slot w nobody around him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>We needed to make a few changes they didnt and now they stuck with them

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Like imagine the Kings random TOR could have got for either or both the pending wings

CAR apparently is eyeing a Necas trade and Pesce on this team would have been very interesting

You then go trade the other guy for a more pick based haul to set up for later and with the remaining cap space keep Domi, Bertuzzi, etc</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>I’m only just tuning into the game but I literally didn’t even notice him in game 1. It just makes too much sense, trading him will free up enough cap space to land a couple top 4 d men and a starting goalie.</div></div>

Send him to Utah along with Kampf for local boys Crouse, McBain, and Doan. With Mitch's contract up I doubt we could get more
