look at the teams that are in the next round

studs like carlson, hedman, letang, subban, josi, vlasic etc.

without a d man who can play 25-26 min you aint going anywhere

all ths gardiner/reilly are bums

andersen aint a top flight goalie

i mean its game 7 and like 40 year old marleau the only one who stpped up

Complete joke

We need to get Oliver Ekman Larsson or Doughty on this team ASAP

But I think Doughty gonna stay in LA. He can get paid 10 million a year plus endorsements and live in sunny California and face no scrutiny unlike the Toronto media and its a shame cause he's from London and grew up loving the Leafs. He's exactly what we need to pair with Riley (who was actually decent this series, the only D man who didn't play like shyt in every game)

We need some real fukking vets on this team. The kids are not good enough yet and its showing in how weak they are mentally and Bozak and JVR are boneheads who should also be traded. Kadri is usually good but he disappeared this game too.

fukk Andersen. He can be our backup for whatever elite goal we get. He's not a number 1 goaltender

Ship Gardiner outta town. He's never learning, he repeats the same bird brain moves he made 5 years ago. Cant make a safe, simple, smart breakout. He gives the puck away like candy in halloween.

Rielly being injured was the Leafs downfall, their blueline is weak as it is, he was easily the most stable D aside from Hainsey and Dermott.

Leafs to be contenders need better D especially on the right side. JVR and Bozak. You cant have bums like Polak, Gardiner, etc and expect to win a playoff round.,

Andersen is too hot and cold imo. Good goalie but you never know what you get from him from game to game.

Matthews was disappointing but he gets a pass because its his second playoffs.

Kapanen, Johnsson, Kadri, Marner, Dermott, Rielly, Marleau, Plekanec :salute:

marleau is to old, plekanec is gone

marner and matthews remind me of gaudreau and monahan only reg season players

world championships will always have a leaf the streak continues :mjlol:

time to get rid of this deadweight like komorov, gardiner etc.

leafs need a shut down line they got killd by marchand, pastrnak, bergeron

leafs have kapanen, johnsson who proved their worth this year and both locked down a fulltime spot on the roster next year.

grundstrom, liljegren, ozhiganov and other near-NHL ready level prospects waiting in the wings who can play as soon as next year. They make JVR, Bozak,Komarov, Brown expendable.

Sign a free agents like neal or marchesseault

Thornton and Neal could help for vet depth but we have a lot of young offensive players who need game time to develop but I like those two moves

Its mainly our fukking defense and we had the bread to sign Hamonic last summer but noo we were too cheap thikning our offense would win us games

Then Gardiner goes -5 and gets dust multiple times on the wing. Guy was a fukking pylon all game
 

the next guy

imagine if we drafted laine
for such a big guy at 6'4 and 230 lbs, Matthews plays small and soft. He needs to assert himself and add a little mean streak to his game.

sniffing coke?

dont even hear about that bum spezza since he asked to be traded

Matthews is a regular season guy. Nice highlights, nice awards, freezes when it counts.

Spezza was hurt this year. Shame about his career.
