  1. Saw this happening the day they chose Dubas as GM and Keefe as coach. Both unproven and this is the end result. Honestly they need to trade everyone from Matthews to the bottom line players and rebuild the right way. Firing Keefe was a good start. Now make those necessary trades and don’t screw it up again

  2. The fact they took til now is crazy. Losing a 3-1 lead to that Montreal team with an interim coach should have been the end of the core.

  3. Tonight, McD and Draisaitl, 4 points each in a critical round two game two playoff game. PLAYOFF PERFORMERS! Toronto's core 4? Not!!

  4. No because they are a Jersey Selling Regular season club that turn into crying bros that play Junior in the playoffs. Sick of them. 45 year Maple Leafs Fan and I have never wanted them to dump a contract for pucks like Marners ever. What a ghost in playoffs. No dipsy doodle fancy schmancy moves at all.

  5. Player momentum ha
    … never happen
    what dies player momentum
    mean – nothing – bullshit word salad
    The Leafs are worse off than they ever were

  6. None of the big name players are getting traded. Maybe a Nick Robertson or Timothy Liljegren will get moved but none of the big names are going anywhere.

  7. Maybe MLSE will only do something drastic when all the other Canadian NHL teams start surpassing them in the standings. The Leafs have no draft capital left and nobody in the AHL to use as a trade chips. Still have to wait on prospects Minten and Cowan. Eerily similar to Pittsburgh Penguins situation except their core players are Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Karlsson are much older.

  8. The players underperformed in the playoffs. Not the coaches. A team that was second in the league in goals then disappeared in the playoffs.

  9. The leafs can’t beat Boston, Boston can’t beat Florida! We have a long way to go before this team is anything other than a first round and down club.

  10. O DOG you are wrong wrong wrong !! Thank you Hayes for correcting him . you CANNOT compare the Canes situation to the LEafs .Not even close .The Canes won a Cup in 2006.ONly 18 years ago .And they have made the conference finals 3 times since that Cup . .It has been 57 for the LEafs .Cannot compare the 2 at all .If the LEafs won the Cup in 2005 and made the conference finals 3 more times after that fans would still be content even with this streak of playoff failures .i dont know about the rest of you but I just want to see ONE just ONE damm Cup ( or at least a Finals appearance ) in my lifetime .Then I will be happy !!

  11. Yes absolutely .The LEafs brass knows that the fans are dumb and will keep buying tickets no matter what .Cant really blame them really Think about it .If you own a business and you produce a crappy product ,and people keep buying it .WOuld you change it ?? lol

  12. Leafs action plan this offseason.
    -Lean out the roster and attempt to move JT and Marner. Both probably stay until the spring.
    Replace some of the free agents with your Marlies players.
    Get defenseman and forwards back for Marner. You should have pulled the trigger on Boeser or Konecy when they were available. Hanifin or Chychrun as well.
    Get a pick and prospects for JT. Maybe you can swing Bennett or another Top 9 centre for JT. But you have to keep expectations realisitic.
    Get Chychrun or another Top 4 defensemen.
    Sign Stolarz and start Woll or Make a trade for Ullmark.
    You have 9 million off the books so you have a lot to play around with.

  13. I’m team Hayes on this one. O’Neil can say whatever this team, that team… what he doesn’t understand that the bar is so low, people I just wanting them to win a fn round or two. How about starting with getting SHOTS! on the power play?! Is that too much to ask for?!

  14. Pelley copping to only a month of being there and not knowing about the last ten years of Leaf history let alone when Pelley worked for Rogers before he left for Europe. Cop out!

  15. Dubas has ruined the leafs for years to come ! Hayes is SOOOO Rite and ODG is Sooo wrong .In the end the Laffs are handcuffed bc of BAD no trade contracts and BAD decisions that were sanctioned by ONE MAN SHANAHAN……….! IF we as fans know whats wrong and what has been lacking WHY didn't Shany who gets PAID to know it..! No trade to No snot Nylander and Marner ???????? Come onnnnnnn !!

  16. The odonkey might be one of the worst analyst in hockey. He just embarrasses himself daily. Listen to Hayes and you hear a real professional

  17. The worst thing possible that happened to Mitch was playing as part of the Leafs Core 4. I expect Mitch to get traded and win a Stanley Cup like Kadri & Kessel did.

    Leaf players win cups after they are traded out of Toronto. Can you imagine if Marchand mentors Marner to properly back check to his own net and play like Marchand in the playoffs. 😀
