Truth be told, they need to get rid of ALL FOUR.
Just insane how they can’t score, I just don’t understand
What else can you expect from the Toronto Maple Laughs?
They should’ve let Shannhan go. He’s too set in his ways and won’t part with the core four
They got what they wanted
The Leafs needed to change course in 2021.
It's kind of crazy that the Habs made it further with their "Pay a goalie 10 million" strat than the Leafs did with theirs.
Weird, you didn’t mention how Hyman is scoring so well. Like who he’s playing with every shift. Might have something to do with it.
It took the Caps 13 years to get their lone cup. However, the Caps were burdened with their top four players making that much bank and being all offense players.
This year was about toughness.leafs best players missed games.playoff games. Tummy and head aches.
The ugliest contract on the Leafs is obviously John Tavares, who will be back for his final year but in the future it will be William Nylander. He lit the league on fire for the first 60 games this past season, signed his extension, then coasted down the stretch.
The Leafs made an enormous blunder in giving him 8 years @ $11.5M because they failed to realize that Nylander is actually two people.
The player who was great for the first 60 games and who signed the contract was William Nylander, son of former NHLer Michael Nylander and a very good hockey player. What the Leafs do not seem to recognize is that they are also getting Nylander's alter ego in the bargain, his indistinguishable identical twin "William Bystander".
The twins occupy the same body and have been known to swip swap mid game.
The Leafs will never win jack being owned by a corporation. They need a single owner who cares.
Leafs content pays the bills. Have a like, comment and a view. Appreciate your videos
I TOLD YOU THIS SHANNON!! I TOLD YOU
So many people are pointing fingers at Marner as the biggest problem, but Matthews does more of a disappearing act in the playoffs than any other of the core four. Toronto media railed about Matthews being "snubbed" for the Hart, but when he repeatedly shows he has no heart, why should he get the award?
NO! YOU STAY THE COURSE!
Everyone needs to stop crapping on Mo. He's a very good defenceman, but he is not a 1D. He never was, never will be, nor is he paid like one. Let's find him some help and see how he does.
Leafs need to enter this century and get skilled puck moving D. Benoit, Lyubushkin, Edmundson, it’s slow and shitty by design.
Can't believe more Leaf fans are demanding Matthew's head, like they do Marner. Milk Carton Matthews may score bucketfuls in the regular season, but the reality is they mean nothing. Matthews is the player equivalent of the President's Trophy.
Fantastic " Look at what's ailing Toronto ! Now are they going to Fix it ??
The best secondary scorer the Leafs have had in recent years (playoff-wise) was Jason Spezza.
The issue for the Leafs is that Matthews is the real deal. It's tough to have a superstar and not want to all in every year, and in so doing, they've created an inflexible situation and can only watch in horror as they hurtle towards the edge of the cliff.
Matthews to Buffalo for a 12 pack of American Mac and Cheese.
Why has it taken 8 years of playoff disasters, for Leafs management, deciding to make major changes? Leaf management is the main reason for the teams failures! Contract blunders and not building the roster with big defense, solid goaltending, team toughness and grit, a major concern? Leafs brass are a bunch of clowns, with many poor decisions, since 2016!
