‘I can’t think of a more embarrassing game for Leafs’: Hayes on Toronto’s 6-1 loss



How embarrassing was the Maple Leafs performance in Game 5? Why have the Leafs returned to their old habits? What are the chances the Leafs bring this series back to Toronto for Game 7? Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait for another edition of Harvey’s Hot Takes, where he shares his thoughts on the Leafs falling flat in a 6-1 drubbing by the Panthers.

  1. Y’know. It’s funny. When the leafs were at Montreal, and beat the Habs 7-3, we had Leafs fans all up in our faces, flipping us off, yelling that this was their year. The cup was a lock. Blah, blah, blah. Aaaaaaaand here we are. Watching the Leafs crumble. And the core 4 completely disappear in the playoffs. This Molson is going down easier than the Leafs in the playoffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  2. THEY DO NOT EVEN TRY. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP GIVING THE LEAFS THEIR MONEY.
    THE LEAFS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE FANS. THEY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
    STOP GIVING THE LEAFS YOUR MONEY.

  3. Matthews is an American, so maybe he's a Trumpet and throwing the games, but Marner's a local boy. It doesn't make sense. Hockey is the song you've been playing all your life. You're the talented musician. How the F do you forget the song?!?!

  4. I don't blame the Leafs. It was Stolarz that gave them the faith they needed to win. The league decided to stop Toronto so they took out Stolarz. I've been watching this league since the '60s. I'm well aware of their games. The league would've lost hundreds of millions of dollars if Toronto had won this series. Not to mention the setback on expanding into new markets and the strenghtening of other markets. I don't care what others think. This league has been rigged for decades. I love the game of hockey and I hate the NHL. What a waste of time.

  5. Brian Hayes forgot how he felt after the last playoff failure and during the regular season talked about how the leafs need to resign Marner….deja vu all over again

  6. Mitch Marner's dad always knew Mitch had no heart or drive. They need Mitch's dad to sit rinkside to yell at his son like he did in the CBC doc about the price of hockey

    "You better f*ckin start skating Mitch! I swear to God!"

  7. No fight, no effort, softer than marshmallows, scrub pond hockey, pure dumpster hockey. Not one fight? Nothing? Why are theses bums on the ice? Overpaid big time. The new guy Robertson played better than Matthews, Marner, Nylander, all put together. Beyond a joke. I thought the Zamboni goalie loss was the ultimate disgrace, but last night’s game Leafs proved me wrong. Fire soft Matthews, and fire baby poo marshmallow Marner after the next game! Beyond a disgrace!

  8. It was funny to see Leafs battling each other for the puck in the corner while the Panthers were on a change. Berube has them programmed to win the battles even if they are on the same team.

  9. Oh it will get more embarrassing because it was an intentional scorched earth. No picks, no prospects and an old team loaded with nmcs. A perfect titanic. They are truly screwed next year

  10. I’m not making a direct comparison but much like when the oil had hall and eberle they were soft players and lacked any mettle. Eberle has great hands but no battle or intensity. Seems to be the same with Marner.

  11. The core has to go….only Knies plays like they're in the playoffs. Woll shows he's not a starter by any means.

  12. Ohhh… I'm disappointed in everyone EXCEPT the Maple Leafs…they are giving everyone what everyone expected…to lose!!!..they were playing "the Good Ol' hockey game"…then along come the Panthers..who CAN'T WIN A GAME without overly beating on the Leafs bodies.. there were no consequences for the Panthers..no one has been standing behind the Leafs..not the fans(except me)..not commentators.. not the NHL.. especially not the player safety commission…they have been beaten, battered and bruised…and people say that's hockey!!!..no..I find letting the Panthers get away with ILLEGAL HITS every single time.. well.. that's not hockey… that's the sport UFC..I just want to say..if the NHL allows the Panthers..to play hockey that way…they won't be happy until one unlucky player ends up in a wheelchair…
    GO LEAFS! GO!…this fan is ever faithful and still BELEAF..a fan that is optimistic and not a pessimist!!!

  13. Why are you ignoring the most important thing about the Leafs?
    McDavid is going to get a bigger contract than Matthews, so you know that Austin is going to have a monster regular season.

  14. Not over. Too much talent on the Leafs team. Florida knows this. Cliche , one shift at a time. It can all change on a dime. Wish we had their talent on our team…

  15. Well as usual, the Maple Leafs just can’t get out of their own way. I actually thought they could win the Eastern Conference this season, but what was I thinking ? It’s the Maple Leafs. They’re just like the Cleveland Indians of Hockey. Always competitive but no championship for the longest time. I guess some things never change.

  16. If you wanna cup in toronto stop going to games watching on TV buying merchandise
    Do that for 1 season toronto would win a cup within 2 years after

  17. Can you picture Mathews giving a leadership speech in Braveheart? Because I can't. They're missing player leadership. A leader would Never allow any no-show games.

  18. Letting Marner walk for no return is addition by subtraction. And a good chunk of cap space. Trade Reilly to Chicago for TJ Brodie or Joe Veleno, or nothing who cares.
