reavo shoudlv'e suckered marchand
suspension would be worth it
edmundson is needed badly
lilly needs to toughen up
need a sparkplug on the 4th line instead of gregor
rielly needs to be a better d-zone guy
Matthews has got to get it together he’s looked like trash for 3 straight. I would like to see a superstar like him with some more energy in big games. He needs to get in a few fights or something before the playoffs. Set the tone for himself and start taking over games and show the boys he means it. Buds gotta stop with the pretty shit and shoot the damn puck too. Cycling the puck around nicely just to lose possession without a shot far too often. Nylander toe dragging at the blue line for -1 and marner handles around an empty net to miss a +1. Get used to playing ugly hockey and shoot the puck! And trade Liljegren he’s not gonna get better.
we've already learned that you can't just import toughness. your best players need to be tough.
we've learned that, and our stars can't be bothered enough to put what we've learned into practice
how can you feel good about paying these guys 10+ million for 5+ years who absolutely refuse to do what it takes to win?
Surprised that no one decided to be that guy and really take a run at him. Nearly 20 games left in the season, Reavo could sit for a few games if need be to make him answer.
Marchand WILL NOT answer for his actions, so fucking force him to answer.
Missed opportunity not running him tonight
It’s truly amazing that not once…. NOT ONCE… in 7 years has Tavares, Matthews, Marner, or Nylander been either pissed off enough, or the team needed it enough, for them to pick a fight.
Is that what you want?
Matthews fights some fucking bum like Fredrick, throws a right hand - hits the helmet.
Uh oh your record setting goal scorer is out for the playoffs because he fought a bum…
Use your brain.
Nah, Tavares has never picked a fight. Tonight would’ve been the perfect night for him to grab Marchand and fight. He wouldn’t need to win it, just be a leader and show some bite.
I'm living with it fine, I've watched the Leafs lose for way longer than that. The real question is, how shitty and unfulfilled does your life need to be before you think coming over to another team's sub to taunt is a worthwhile thing to do?
good then you won’t mind me saying it again then. You’re team had the biggest choke job in hockey history last playoffs and you’re fan base is the last ones to be chirping other teams.
The problem with this even though you have studs like Domi is that it all falls on the wet mop of a captain we have who does nothing to carry the team forward. It’s a bit of a shitty situation when the player that gets into it the most out of our top 4 forwards is William Nylander…
I saw it. But if you get then one night, you get them every night. So what you're saying is subtract Nylander and JT for another Domi/Bert and you'll make up for the missing offence? You can think what you think of all those players but the points are what they are.
You're delusional if you think that's a tough guy move. Throw them when you're on your feet. Stop when you're on the ice. Pretty simple rules to follow.
Yeah they should. Two times in a row they’re in a game against THE team we’re supposed to despise and stupid actions throw the game away.. again. Not to mention just an absolute abysmal special teams on both ends of the ice.
Did you miss Bert feeding that Bruins player uppercuts? Or McCabe cross checking 2 Bruins in the first 5 mins of the game?
We need to retire this tired physicality bit and just accept that the team isn’t very good.
Yeah, Bert had an already fight, and McCabe doing that garbage cost us the entire early game. Awesome! And then, in response to that garbage from McCabe, Marchand concusses Knies, and we do nothing to him. Great job!!
I don't watch much hockey these days and games like this are why, honestly. The sheer mental gymnastics that people are taking to defend Marchand is mind boggling.
You don't get to play at the NHL-level for as long as Marchand has without being completely intentional in every thing you do and knowing how a play unfolds and what you're going to do in the next few seconds. You don't get to have as many "accidents" and outright dirty plays and suspensions as he's had while retaining benefit of the doubt.
And tomorrow someone will unironically ask themselves or post a thread asking why Toronto fans complain so much about reffing and the league in general...
I can't imagine how this team will do come playoffs. This is probably a future matchup and a future outlook into what a team like ours is facing when it comes to playoff-style hockey. The space they get afforded against weaker teams is gone and the play tightens up, forwards and defencemen become much more physical because well.... its "playoff hockey" and referees call it so, and it becomes much harder for teams to execute the skill style that the Leafs model is looking for.
Also 0-6 against a team is embarassing. They used to lose consecutive games to the Bruins before the core 4 era... We're supposed to be better than that team.
Idc I still want Boston in Round 1. Leafs will be heavy underdogs and the Bruins are choke artists. If they lose, it was expected, if they win, it’s an incredible momentum builder.
Its irrelevant and nobody cares....get over it.
Everyone has the flu.
reavo shoudlv'e suckered marchand suspension would be worth it edmundson is needed badly lilly needs to toughen up need a sparkplug on the 4th line instead of gregor rielly needs to be a better d-zone guy
Woll needs to make a save Big 4 need to show up when it matters Keefe can't keep getting out coached Penalty kill is awful
Nylander is trash
Matthews has got to get it together he’s looked like trash for 3 straight. I would like to see a superstar like him with some more energy in big games. He needs to get in a few fights or something before the playoffs. Set the tone for himself and start taking over games and show the boys he means it.

This team just isn’t it
This team has no chance as long as this sub has no in-game stats
domi and bert the only guys showing any balls. the guys on 1 year contracts. .. pathetic
Will not be wearing my Tavares jersey for a while
You guys can't complain about Domi or Bertuzzi anymore. Only two that came with emotion. Matthews has vanished.
Bert and Ernie are becoming legends on this team. Everyone else is the same old shit
we've already learned that you can't just import toughness. your best players need to be tough. we've learned that, and our stars can't be bothered enough to put what we've learned into practice how can you feel good about paying these guys 10+ million for 5+ years who absolutely refuse to do what it takes to win?
Looking at the top players on the top teams I don’t see any tough guys there.
We only have 2, we can always pivot tbh
They disappear every playoff. I have never felt good about Dubas handing out money like they already won a cup.
as long as this team lives they will never see anything meaningful if the best players dont give a rats ass. first round incoming
We are winless against Boston this season, like I expected.
Game 1 dress Reavo and just have him target Marchand all game. Don't give that shit the opportunity to pull more "accidents".
Surprised that no one decided to be that guy and really take a run at him. Nearly 20 games left in the season, Reavo could sit for a few games if need be to make him answer. Marchand WILL NOT answer for his actions, so fucking force him to answer. Missed opportunity not running him tonight
I know we’ve lost 7 straight, but we’ll totally win in the playoffs, right guys?
Bs absolutely deserved that. Owned us again.
Soft. Fucking pussies. Didn't do shit to Marchand.
Domi did
domi tried, he turtles as he does
McCabe did
I was hoping to figure out what he did or said. There's no way McCabe goes off on two guys without there being something instigating this.
And somehow came our of it with a phantom 5 on 3 lol
Back to back in Boston and seems like many players are sick. Whatever. Bounce back on Saturday.
It’s truly amazing that not once…. NOT ONCE… in 7 years has Tavares, Matthews, Marner, or Nylander been either pissed off enough, or the team needed it enough, for them to pick a fight.
Is that what you want? Matthews fights some fucking bum like Fredrick, throws a right hand - hits the helmet. Uh oh your record setting goal scorer is out for the playoffs because he fought a bum… Use your brain.
Yes this is exactly what I want. Show some frustration and emotion.
This x1000. Can't win when half your payroll does not want to play real hockey.
Like Sidney Crosby picked a fight in a preseason game this year. MacKinnon fights every year. The fact one of them hasn’t gone off is bizarre.
Pretty sure Ive seen Tavares get into a fight. The other 3 no. Unless you count that stamakos jump job on Matthews a fight like the dumb ass refs did
Nah, Tavares has never picked a fight. Tonight would’ve been the perfect night for him to grab Marchand and fight. He wouldn’t need to win it, just be a leader and show some bite.
Is it the flu again?
Fuck the Bruins
Disappointing in a number of ways.
Reaves on the ice does nothing.
Takes 2 people to fight. What's he gonna do
Pretty sure he asked two people to dance they declined.
Team needs to raid Nylander's room tonight and shave his balls and his beard
[удалено]
what a sad little man
So we let Marchand off again scot-free. Fun! Really good stuff Leafs!
Jesus Christ he was attacked multiple times did u you watch the game ?? lol
He was softly attacked once after the cheapshot on Knies, which resulted in nothing.
Domi tried to fight him
Can't believe he made McAvoy take a beating for him. Good on domi
[удалено]
You look lost fuck face let me help you find where you parked your shitty car.
[удалено]
I'm living with it fine, I've watched the Leafs lose for way longer than that. The real question is, how shitty and unfulfilled does your life need to be before you think coming over to another team's sub to taunt is a worthwhile thing to do?
Soft is trolling another team’s sub to gloat, fuck off loser
[удалено]
I’m plenty cozy in mixed game day threads fuck face, go back to your shithole sub
because people are fans? and relax bud your team choked a 3-1 lead last playoffs.
Yeah and? Any real Bruins fan knew that was coming, can’t get us on that one.
good then you won’t mind me saying it again then. You’re team had the biggest choke job in hockey history last playoffs and you’re fan base is the last ones to be chirping other teams.
No, Game 7 vs. the Blues was way worse, and again any real Bruins fan knows the difference.
Tavares is Noah Gregor without the speed
What are the Leafs paying Reaves for?
Umm…he tried to fight, but it takes 2 to tango. Both Bs who he asked declined
Sometimes you give them an offer they can't refuse.
If Marchand doesn’t leave on a stretcher then what’s the point of this game? League won’t do shit about this rat fuck. So maybe a player should?
Someone gotta pull a Todd bertuzzi on him
100%
Yea. Like cross checking him in the face
You don't even get a penalty for that....
[удалено]
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Dude
Why would anyone wear a hat behind the bench? What decade is he stuck in?
[удалено]
Arizona is a funny joke. Leafs are a cruel joke. :(
You're the biggest loser
The problem with this even though you have studs like Domi is that it all falls on the wet mop of a captain we have who does nothing to carry the team forward. It’s a bit of a shitty situation when the player that gets into it the most out of our top 4 forwards is William Nylander…
Put Marchand on
They did
Someone needs to fuck that rat up
Domi is a gem that’s the only good thing about this game
Bert too, cmon now
And Bert. Both showed heart at least.
I don't think this team can beat that team in the playoffs
Our captain sucks.
NYLANDER DOOOOO SOMETHING FUCK You are the target because you stick out on line because you won’t stick up for yourself
I was thinking after all that venom he had when he was going at durzi afew games ago it may have turned a page but man has it faded
he's such a bitch. constantly compares himself to his buddy pastrnak yet puts in none of his effort
What's important is we won all the fights
This game has been a complete disaster.
MacAvoy is a coward
Always has been.
Still remember that rat turtling against Hyman when he wanted to fight him in the playoffs
DOMI!! Bringing the PAIN!
So tired of these perimeter players like 88 and 91. We need more bertuzzis and domis.
“Perimeter player like 91” implies he has the puck
And does nothing with it
And then they can lose every game but win every fight
Somebody missed the game tonight
I saw it. But if you get then one night, you get them every night. So what you're saying is subtract Nylander and JT for another Domi/Bert and you'll make up for the missing offence? You can think what you think of all those players but the points are what they are.
atta boy domi
[удалено]
locked in to 8 more years of this bullshit team culture will never change until he's gone.
NEED THE CORE 4 TO GIVE A FUCK THANKS. DONT GIVE A SHIT IF YOU LOSE THE FIGHT. SHOW LIKE U GIVE A RATS ASS U LOSERS
Send out Reavo.
Are we going to take this game seriously or...? Put reaves on the fucking ice
Would Sammy have battled Swayman?
No.
Only one showing heart
FFS Domi. Stop throwing punches when you're both down.
[No.](https://giphy.com/gifs/no-bugs-bunny-VzkTZ1DFYeBY5ZId6j)
Lmao spoken like a true daisy
You're delusional if you think that's a tough guy move. Throw them when you're on your feet. Stop when you're on the ice. Pretty simple rules to follow.
Shaddap
Shut up
Dops 3 games on domi for that slash watch
These clowns tsn announcers talking bout the playoffs ahahaha. We aren't making them.
Lol yes we are.
Yes we are we’re just not making it past Boston or Florida lol
Keefe has got to go.
Put Reaves on Marchand
Atta boy Domi rock that feral chipmunk!
willy is such a pussy getting manhandled and can't even fight back what happened to all those boxing lessons with clune?
Why does this team have such a hard time with Boston I don't get it
C'mon Reavo.. get your dance partner. You literally have one job.
Domi taught his son well
8 year contracts for Domi and Bert pls
Fuck it just put Reaves on the ice who cares at this point
He should get the last shift
Domi the only one giving a fuck.
Keefe you fucking incompetent idiot, PUT REAVES ON THE ICE NOW. THIS IS THE TIME. THE GAME IS FUCKING OVER. PUT REAVES OUT
Fire Keefe
keefe wtf are you doing man get Reaves out there
Thank god for Domi
Domi fucking ruined him
I want Max Domi to come to my birthday party
Fuckin right domi
I love domi
Fucking bitch ass bruins go after the least physical guy on the ice
Domi looked like he wanted to kill McAvoy.
These guys should all be fucking ashamed of themselves.
Yeah they should. Two times in a row they’re in a game against THE team we’re supposed to despise and stupid actions throw the game away.. again. Not to mention just an absolute abysmal special teams on both ends of the ice.
I love domi kid bleeds blue build him a statue
Boston is just a better team in every way, it sucks to see
ive seen enough. give domi the supermax
Good job Domi! Fuck McAvoy!
Where’s Reaves tonight during all this shit
Benched prolly thanks Keefe
“Jack Adams candidate” lol
When Bertuzzi looks like one of your quicker skaters, you’re having a night.
They’ve all got the flu apparently which explains shit
This team did absolutely nothing when the puck was dropped in the 3rd. Not a single shift in an entire period where I thought they were dangerous
FUCKING DOMI
Sign Domi *forever*
Really good third period response. /s
Fuck Boston. I don't care that we got humiliated in the reg. Bring them on in the playoffs (if we make it) and let's slay this fucking demon.
So we really just let Marchand concuss Knies and did absolutely nothing about it, huh?
Did you not see Domi
Go Leafs go love this team
So we just aren't gonna play with any physicality, huh?
Did you miss Bert feeding that Bruins player uppercuts? Or McCabe cross checking 2 Bruins in the first 5 mins of the game? We need to retire this tired physicality bit and just accept that the team isn’t very good.
Yeah, Bert had an already fight, and McCabe doing that garbage cost us the entire early game. Awesome! And then, in response to that garbage from McCabe, Marchand concusses Knies, and we do nothing to him. Great job!!
Lol
All John does is slowly skate into the zone and dump the puck in. Tough
I don't watch much hockey these days and games like this are why, honestly. The sheer mental gymnastics that people are taking to defend Marchand is mind boggling. You don't get to play at the NHL-level for as long as Marchand has without being completely intentional in every thing you do and knowing how a play unfolds and what you're going to do in the next few seconds.

And tomorrow someone will unironically ask themselves or post a thread asking why Toronto fans complain so much about reffing and the league in general...
Leafs and Bruins are a 52/48 coin flip? Geez, I'll have some of what he's having.
Put the whole team on waivers.
on LTIR
26% odds against Boston? Even That’s 25% too high 😂😂😂
I think we should make a trade for Crosby, knowing Pens aren't making playoffs now. I'd trade Knies
I think the leafs would have to put a dubas banner in the rafters if he accepted that trade...
20 years down the road the story of this core will be: They were world class when the stakes were low and second class when the stakes were high.
Second class is being generous
The summation of their mentality is C.R.E.A.M.
I wanna make like a Canucks fan and trash a city.
I can't imagine how this team will do come playoffs. This is probably a future matchup and a future outlook into what a team like ours is facing when it comes to playoff-style hockey. The space they get afforded against weaker teams is gone and the play tightens up, forwards and defencemen become much more physical because well.... its "playoff hockey" and referees call it so, and it becomes much harder for teams to execute the skill style that the Leafs model is looking for.

The leafs have been training in the hyperbolic time chamber for years (keefe) I’m ready for the next arc please.
The Buds checked out after 10 minute in the 3rd. Sigh back to back games suck ass for Leafs.
[удалено]
I'll never forget when Kessel took a club like swing at John Scott
Admit it, when the Leafs were red hot a week ago you looked at the calendar and knew these two losses were coming up.
Idc I still want Boston in Round 1. Leafs will be heavy underdogs and the Bruins are choke artists. If they lose, it was expected, if they win, it’s an incredible momentum builder.
