The Toronto Maple Leafs best players were nowhere to be found and now the team faces a 3-0 deficit. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their breakdown from the Leafs’ 3-2 loss in overtime to the Panthers in Game 3 and why the Core 4’s absence has been the team’s downfall in the playoffs. They go through disturbing trends, especially Sheldon Keefe’s mindset and comments following the game plus the Good, Bad & Ugly from the loss. To end the show, Mike and Dave give their thoughts on Ilya Samsonov’s injury and what this means for the Leafs goaltending situation and whether there is any conversation of whether Joseph Woll or Matt Murray get the call in Game 4.

all leafs fans are a bunch of suckers……zero hockey knowledge (if they had any they would not be surprised how bad the team is again in the playoffs). Keep getting ripped off at the gate and having the wool pulled over your eyes by the millionaire boys club.
Mike and David it's ALL but over for the LEAFS …NOT even a MIRACLE will help the LEAFS come from behind and win 4 straight .IF it happens HISTORY will be made in the NHL
guys morgan riley, is not as good as you think. lets get a grip. He makes lots of mistakes. too much attention to a guy who really is slower and not fast thinking anymore.
nylander is a now show again and again…….he needs to go to another team, maybe we can get a player that comes to play every game. not a dangerous player, most of the time.
Keefe is not your man……
You didn’t expect the leafs core to not show up in a must win game 😂😂😂 like come on man. That’s what they are known for. Soft no fight won’t take a hit to make a play they will NEVER win anything with this core. 😂
I remember i commented on the kraken during after the leafs got shellacked by the kraken regular season. I mentioned leafs should be build like the kracken. Got neative commets from this and other shows, who's right now!!
First priority is trading 16 and 34. They have to be the first to go along with Keefe and Dubas. You can get massive returns for them in terms of roster players and picks. It’s over. The Matthews era is over and he’s walking after his contract ends so pull the trigger and get him out of our club.
There is no Leaf ready to pump up this team. The core four should be the ones to pump up this team. Until they get leadership and pump up this team they are going to be flat. Not saying you can't drive on a flat tire but they won't go far.
only 4 teams of 197 have comeback down 3 – 0 , this team will definatley will not be team 5.
LOSERS SINCE 67 😂😂😂😂
Florida and Maurice is overrated. Good luck leafs.
Babcock must be laughing his ass off😂😂😂😂
Keep buying jerseys and continue to fill the arena to pay those super star salaries.
Strip JT of the captaincy – give it to Morgan. Dubas better get on his knees begging O'Reilly and Acciari to resign – if he even has a job come July 1st.
Too many overpaid princesses on this team who don't care if they win or lose. Time to shake things up. Go Panthers.
What about being outplayed by the Panthers which is what the maple leafs have done. They have flat out been outplayed by the Panthers just like the Bruins were the maple leafs didn’t blow this Series They were outplayed by the Panthers. Go Panthers

No surprises…Leafs have stunk for well over 50 years…bandwagoning fans are not the sharpest knives in the humanity drawer
The Leafs got through round 1 yay! But to be swept in round 2 means the end of this "not a good playoff team". Calling it now: 2024 Matthews & Bedard in AZ. Can't wait to see it!
Good thing the Leafs are paying $7.5 million more for these 3 guys to be useless in 3 straight games, wtf?! Ask for a refund.
Leafs: Matthews $11,640,250, Marner $10,903,000, Tavares $11,000,000
Pans: Barkov $10,000,000, Tkachuk $9,500,000, Reinhart $6,500,000
Methot is an absolute gem. What did he say?
Toronto played to win one series by they are a very soft muffin team. I hope the leafs have their golf clubs shined up
Hopefully in Game 4, Sheldon Keefe should reenact Don Cherry's infamous Nixon style bow to angry Habs fans from the Bruins too many men game.
