  1. In a series where scoring one more goal was the difference, JT's 2 points in 7 games and Marner's 3 points in 7 games is the reason they didn't advance.

  2. .. Too Much .. DUBAS DAMAGE .. throughout the Years .. 3 x 1st Round picks .. one to get rid of Marleau ( Seth Jarvis ) , then one 1st Round Pick each for .. Muzzin & Foligno … SAD … getting rid of players the Leafs had and should have kept .. Kapanen .. Marchment .. Hyman .. Trevor Moore .. Matt Martin .. Tyson Barrie .. Sandin .. Grundstrom .. Durzi .. Mikheyev
    .. the Leafs could have had a Team that could Compete .. if not for All the .. " DUBAS DAMAGE " ..

  3. We’re one shot away from getting it all done, too late for almost everything that we want, thank you Captain, that’s all I wanna say for today.

  4. “We’re right there” are you though? You guys haven’t even made it half way to the cup yet. Same copy and paste bullshit every year. If Tre doesn’t make big changes I’ve lost hope in this team that it’ll ever win

  5. I'm getting sick of the same old word salad every year while and that was always next year and will change this will change that blah blah blah blah blah I am so done with this team

  6. Big leafs fan here, I’ve been on their side for most of my life. This team is not built to win. Win games during the season? Yes. Sell tickets? Yes. They’re looking closer to what they need to be, mostly because of some key additions, BUT the core, is not scoring in the off season and JT and Marner are not producing for the amount of money they’re making. Our “fan currency” is bankrupt. Big changes need to happen while maintaining some of this team. I hate to slam on these guys cause hey, they’re human. But that being said, they’re paid more than the above average person to play a game a certain way. And it just isn’t working out. I won’t cheer for any other team. Boston Pizza can suck it. Go leafs.

  7. I actually hope Tavares stays but signs a cheap hometown discount deal, and hands off the C this summer (or next) to Matthews.

  8. How small the difference of winning the first round…. not the Stanley cup… the leafs are not close watch Boston get crushed and Florida will score on the pp and make swayman look normal

  9. I’m sure it’s really difficult. Your 34 years old and have never been passed the second round. So where is your belief coming from? And you continue to grow? Your coming to the end of your career, this team does not have the players that are hungry to win!!

  10. NEVER was the Captain and NEVER should of been the Captain of the Maple Leafs …NEXT year a NEW Captain NEW voice ect. ..1 more season to listen to his EXCUSES and BS maybe LESS than 1 more season….TURTLE will NEVER CHANGE

  11. Sorry, John Tavares needs to step down and forfeit the captaincy. Not because he is a bad captain, but because it is time for a change. John is on the decline in both skill and production and it is unfortunate that his high salary makes him unattractive for a trade to other teams. Leafs are stuck with his high salary until his contract is over. He should not be resigned. There is a younger, better, and more affordable 2nd line center out there.

  12. 4:20 don’t give a rats ass about what Mitch does in the locker room. Lots of great winning teams had lots of guys who hated each other. Need a new leader you challenges more than just themselves. Traverses is a pro but not a leader.

  13. Players always go ON AND ON about pressure in Toronto. I'm sorry, but imagine you were a footballer in England, Germany or Spain. IMAGINE the criticism you would be getting in that situation. What hockey players go through here is nothing compared to that. These guys need some perespective. I don't see protesting or rioting in the streets calling for members of management or players to go. The verbal criticism isn't even anywhere near as harsh. At least Tavares is smart enough not to complain. Other guys however… not a good look. The Leafs better clear out the cupboard this offseason.

  14. Nobody wants to hear about Mitchy's energy in the locker room, how about the energy he brings in the playoffs? Jesus I can't watch another series of Mitch Marner dipsy doodle into the o-zone trying to set up the perfect play until he gets bumped off the puck and its heading the other way, dude drives me nuts, go be a franchise player somewhere else Mitchy, go get your bag and stop wasting our cap space and holding out for what you think you deserve, I'm so done with Mitchy and the energy he brings, stop with that shit

  15. It's not your fault JT. You found lots of open ice in the offensive zone this year and the puck barely came to your stick for setups and when it did you played the puck as if you were surprised to get it a lot of times. It must be tough to get good reads when you never know when your chance is coming. A lot of your goals were from loose pucks which is a very positive sign, but unfortunately you are on a team that prioritizes other players puting the puck in then net first. You should have been in the bumper spot all season because you have a great shot, but this coaching staff doesn't optimize your total game.

  16. This franchise is one of maybe 3 or so that have not reached the Stanley Cup Final since 1967…never mind winning it…this is unbelievable

  17. Long time leafs fan. I say this! There needs to be trades that affect this. Regardless of the captain, or the core, or the bad bounce or what have you! Schenn, O'rilley, Accari all walked last year. We got nothing for them. Simmonds was not asked to return. Sam Lafferty got traded! Lol all that talent, and heres the result 😂! Instead of building a "Regular season, High scoring( oh wait a minute, that was last year) low scoring, gritty- ish team, how bout we get rid of Brad, Keefe, and Treliving Shanaplan, and hire someone that A, wants to trade matthews and pick up a player as good that stands his ground. B wants a Defence first team. C HIRE AN ACTUAL FUCKIN PLAYOFF WORTHY GOALIE, and D. Base it on a "you work and compete, Or, You dont play" operation! No disrespect to matthews, but we only won 1 game this series with him. Not only that, he doesnt defend his team, a scrum happens he runs away or just stands there like a pussy. 69 goals so what! How many has zach hyman scored lol pathetic, sick of seeing this every year.
