Toronto’s ‘Core Four’ remain scoreless as Panthers push Leafs to brink of elimination



Cheryl Pounder joins Jay Onrait to discuss the overall lack of urgency and intensity from the Leafs, the lack of production from Toronto’s ‘Core four’ so far in the series, facing Florida instead of Boston in the second round, and more after the Panthers beat the Maple Leafs to take a 3-0 lead in the series.

  1. Clearly some of them want to be traded……they don't want TO and TO sure as hell doesn't want them.

  2. For what it's worth this Florida team has come together like nothing I've seen in a long time. They were so lost for the whole regular season, they only really started doing decent when they realised that they weren't going to make the playoffs and even then made silly mistakes all over. They've basically been playing playoff hockey for 20 games before the playoffs and still managed to get the extra gear going to the playoffs. While Leafs has been disappointing for sure in areas, the Panthers have exploited their weaknesses like masters. Panthers have really underrated shutdown players in Barkov and Lundell that are killing the top 4 of the leafs and their depth is deceptively wide with 3 scoring lines.

  3. Schenn lost the game Sammy was locked in after the f bomb interview but took him out and a pp goal. Horrible

  4. I watched the first period and went to bed. So sad.Exoecribg ut to be 2-1 FLA. Damn it. Got up!!!!! Yeah. Fla won again!!! Yeah!!!

  5. so matthews is still better than drai right? ☠️drai – 13 goals VS matthews, marner, tavares nylander – 13 goals

  6. Fire that effing geek Doofus and the rest of the management.

    As per usual, Torrana is off to the golf course in May. FORE! 😂

  7. half the salary cap on 4 guys who are DORMANT right now (at least willy had a full effort this game) Matthews has been brutal the last couple games…

  8. They are regular season players!
    They are not playoff players they don’t have the extra drive!

  9. She's wrong on the Florida mentality in the Boston series. Florida knew they could play with Boston. It wasn't, "taking it one game at a time", that somehow created a "belief" in the Cats. We beat them twice during the regular season and are VERY familiar with their style of play, having played these teams over and over during the years. Toronto's "Core" doesn't play a heavy game like the we do. We were Boston last year. We had to change the way we played to be consistent in the playoffs. The playoffs are a VERY different animal! Apparently, a lesson still on the plate for Toronto.

  10. This years Bruins were the best team in NHL history? They weren't even the best Bruins team in history. I would put up the mid 70's Montreal Canadians against them any time. The early 80's New York Islanders, the mid 90's Detroit Red Wings. They had a great season. If it wasn't for loser points they wouldn't have had as many wins and points as they did. If it wasn't for overtime and shootout wins, they wouldn't have had as many wins. Jesus Christ, does she know anything about NHL history? The 76-77 Montreal Canadiens would have destroyed that Bruins team, it wouldn't even have been funny.

  11. The officiating changes from regular season to playoff. In the playoffs the stupid muther fucking officials let the players do whatever the fuck they want b/c officials wont call it. Officiating in NHL is embarrassing, corrupt, biased and outright stupid.

  12. I don’t want to bet. I don’t want to be told to bet all night long. I don’t want to see or hear the odds. I don’t want to know why this prop is hot right now. I don’t want gambling’s clammy hand reaching out from my screen, trying to work its way up my shirt.
    I JUST WANT TO Watch HOCKEY!

  13. This is the Tin Man team…no Heart. Time to dump the core four, start over. Time for rebuild. Get rid of GM, couch, core and start from scratch while you can still get value in those trades. So SICK of this team. “This year feels different” MY A$$

  14. Love watching this garbage team and its garbage, arrogant fanbase, suffer. Bring on another 20 years of pure losing.

  15. Boy Cheryl really inlightened us and said so many things, so many cliches, that we've never heard before…except for a million times…this week alone..yeah, ask Cheryl what you do in this situation..she's Bern there so many times before..what expertise!

  16. Parents, don't let your children become Leafs fans. Teach them to be winners.
