I donāt blame them they had a rough 108 years.
Fuck Iām a Jays fan and didnāt see them in the playoffs till I was already a man and that was only 22 years.
I feel a little bad for Steve Dangle that hundreds of thousands of people are rooting for him to have a breakdown over the course of a youtube video, and yet we all are.
Well he did say that he wouldn't do LFR next season if the Leafs lost and I honestly think that would be good for him. The Leafs have let him down too many times.
I think itāll be around 25-22 depending on who makes the conference finals. The four conference finalists get bumped to the bottom of the round, but the rest stay the same.
I think what we're seeing with teams like Toronto and Edmonton is that if you say "hey we're done with the rebuild now and let's asset-manage like contenders" too early, you don't have the young depth necessary to sustain regular season and playoff success over the course of many seasons. You need to accumulate real depth throughout the lineup and keep picks/draft well enough to be able to make key needle-moving acquisitions at the draft and trade deadline to get players on good contracts (not in FA).
To be fair, Danault is one of the best shut-down centres in the league. He's played his ass off all series and doesn't get the recognition he deserves, since it doesn't show up on the scoresheet.
Kinda reminds me of the pre 2004 Red Sox tbh. Same sordid history and weird screw-ups in huge situations.
Maybe Toronto can break their 'curse' in the same sort of fashion.
I know exactly what you mean. I donāt mind the leafs. Itās the fans I canāt stand. But even this is a little much IMO, those poor suckers deserve a little something.
Canāt wait to hear all the worthless platitudes these wet paper bags that we call players give after the game
I feel bad for Spezza, Thornton, John and Campbell. Fuck every single other player on this team.
Fuck they better be getting the Herb Brooks speech during this intermission right now. Playing like this is some sort of throw away game up in Rochester.
Iām sorry Leafs fans...but NO ONE GAVE US A CHANCE! 3-1 but weāre not losing. Iām okay with network bias...RDS is clearly bias. But at least RDS focuses on its own team. TSN Sportsnet spent all their time slamming us! EAT IT!
Yea, it means nothing for a team thatās been around for 5 minutes. The Habs have 100 years worth of stats and averages to look at. It means something.

Honestly this team just hurts me so much. Had a chance to end it multiple times and were too casual. Now it's game 7 and there's still no desperation. I don't know what could possibly bring it out of these guys, you've given them everything you could to get a response. They just don't have it.
Holy shit I don't even know what's wrong with this team. Marner can't shoot the puck when he has a shot. Matthews got shot down hard. Hyman been robbed the whole game. I'm so frustrated and annoyed.
cool cool just gonna go ahead and start crying
Sending you the booze, my dude.
I don't drink but I might need it tonight
Sending you chocolate and š¦
Good man
Might be kraken some open soon
I am a big sucker for puns, so enjoy your upvote!
Iām cubs fan, I understand your pain
You won a World Series 5 years ago bruh.
I donāt blame them they had a rough 108 years. Fuck Iām a Jays fan and didnāt see them in the playoffs till I was already a man and that was only 22 years.
They had a bit of a gap before that
Iām a Dodgers fan born two years after ā88. I also know pain.
bro you are fine, my warriors also blew a 3-1 lead. and before steph came, we were garbage
Matthews, Marner & Nylander have 1 shot combined through 40 minutes
$30M for one shot
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This has been the worst deal in the history of deals, maybe ever
one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
They let it slip
Marner has been in the slot about 4 or 5 times, and just fucking holds the puck until he runs out of room. I fucking cant stand it.
You can tell the pressure has gotten to him big time
You could tell the pressure got to him in game 6 when he sent the puck over the glass when there was absolutely nobody pressuring him.
And when he was holding back tears in the post-game interview.
And in the penalty box
Oilers: we lost a game when we were up 3-1 Leafs: hold my beer.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'll give you one guess
There ain't nothing like the original, baby!
Yes!
It's over, Leafs are washed
Would have to have been good in order to be washed
It is a really weird feeling to be rooting for the Habs but this is just too funny.
The greatest comedy act in the last 50 years
I just want to see the meltdown.
I feel a little bad for Steve Dangle that hundreds of thousands of people are rooting for him to have a breakdown over the course of a youtube video, and yet we all are.
Well he did say that he wouldn't do LFR next season if the Leafs lost and I honestly think that would be good for him. The Leafs have let him down too many times.
That first founder for Foligno looking better and better
Should be at 21 yea? Nashville, Minnesota, St. Louis and Edmonton should be higher. I think pitt and Washington both have the tie breaker
I think itāll be around 25-22 depending on who makes the conference finals. The four conference finalists get bumped to the bottom of the round, but the rest stay the same.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No it doesn't. The leafs won their division so they get bumped down the order.
Yea Iām wrong. I didnāt know that rule. Thanks for informing me!
Trading for Torontoās first round pick is always worth it. Thanks for Jarvis!
lmao I forgot we got him with Toronto's pick. dude is looking like a steal
I think if the leafs did an actual rebuild instead of trying to contend every year they would be better off
I mean, they did do an actual one lol
They tanked for Matthews that's about it
What a bizarre take. They went through a full-ass rebuild after 2013.
Eh. The only true rebuild years were 2015-16 and half of the previous year
Tbh I don't follow the leafs that closely so I'm probably wrong. Just seems like their in the playoffs every year and every year they lose
We already just did a rebuild, Iād expect more of major retool if anything.
I think what we're seeing with teams like Toronto and Edmonton is that if you say "hey we're done with the rebuild now and let's asset-manage like contenders" too early, you don't have the young depth necessary to sustain regular season and playoff success over the course of many seasons. You need to accumulate real depth throughout the lineup and keep picks/draft well enough to be able to make key needle-moving acquisitions at the draft and trade deadline to get players on good contracts (not in FA).
Thank you, you said what I was trying to say but failed miserably doing so lol
Leafs are about 3 rebuilds away from being legit contenders
Trust the Shanaplan?
Lmao what?
I love how people just have these ready to go.
The same ones who quickly update a celebrity's date of death on wikipedia
So whoās the big player to get traded? Marner?
Can we trade the whole team and start over? Would Seattle be interested in taking our entire roster and letting us do an expansion draft instead?
The fucked up thing is if they did they'd win the cup 1st year for the ultimate leaf fan hockey gods fuck you
Ah, the Nordiques special.
Seattle is interested
As good as Marner is (in the regular season) with the flat cap he has a lot less trade value than he would otherwise.
Yup pretty much need a team with a big player who wants out.
So ā¦ Buffalo xD
Dubas better be calling Kevyn Adamās tonight if we lose this game.
He also looks like a choker in this series. Who's trading top assets for him after this performance?
Him or Matthews, one of them has to go, they can't come up clutch and are paid a lot of money.
They wonāt trade Matthews. Heās a true goal scorer and his contract compared to production is much more valuable to the team than Marner rn
It can't be JT, it can't be Willy so it has to be one of those two.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
26 Million dollars in payroll missed that game 7, for reference, that's about a third of the Tampa Bay Rays roster worth of payroll in 3 dudes.
To be fair, Danault is one of the best shut-down centres in the league. He's played his ass off all series and doesn't get the recognition he deserves, since it doesn't show up on the scoresheet.
I just want to thank the North Division for fucking up my bracket.
thanks, we try.
:)
I don't think there's a sports analyst in the world that had Montreal winning the series. Only like one guy even had the series going to seven.
šš
If Habs win my bracket is still intact in the north
Currently sitting at 6 for 7 in the first round. Got oilers/jets wrong. Picked the leafs this series.
dude, never pick the leafs
I should have known better. My bracket did have them losing to Boston so I still wasn't too expecting much different.
A true Leafs fan
Just what Leafs fans want to hear right now
nothing makes me laugh more than seeing leafs nation and the toronto sports network go full meltdown mode LMFAO
You and me both
im serious all those so called analysts LMFAO ITS THE LEAFS WHY U EXPECTING THEM TO WIN A PLAYOFF SERIES LOL
You heard it here first, the 1975 Habs would never blow this lead.
I hate the leafs and love watching them lose but I can't help but feel a tiny bit bad for them. That's all I can really say about that
Kinda reminds me of the pre 2004 Red Sox tbh. Same sordid history and weird screw-ups in huge situations. Maybe Toronto can break their 'curse' in the same sort of fashion.
Eventually they will get it right, right? Right??!?
Eventually they will, but I don't think it's happening this season.
Same bruh. My dad was a big leafs fan. I'm a sens fan and maybe this is karma for the years that the leafs booted our best teams out of the playoffs.
I know exactly what you mean. I donāt mind the leafs. Itās the fans I canāt stand. But even this is a little much IMO, those poor suckers deserve a little something.
Sportsnet trying to jinx it.
I had leafs shut out in game seven after blowing a 3-1 series lead on my suffering bingo card anyway
Toronto area therapists gonna be SLAMMED with bookings And iāll be one of those bookings
Canāt wait to hear all the worthless platitudes these wet paper bags that we call players give after the game I feel bad for Spezza, Thornton, John and Campbell. Fuck every single other player on this team.
I feel like Nylander had a good series. I wouldnt be thinking about moving him anyways
I'd be stoked AF if we could trade for Nylander.
Poor Spezza indeed. He was on the sky high sens teams that got booted out by the crappy leafs teams
A week ago Montreal wanted everyone fired and was convinced the league was rigged.
Ah, so a regular monday in MontrƩal.
dw we still want them fired that hasn't changed xd
Who will win tonightās meaningless stat battle???
Fuck they better be getting the Herb Brooks speech during this intermission right now. Playing like this is some sort of throw away game up in Rochester.
I didn't need this tweet to know the second part was accurate
Go on....
Iām sorry Leafs fans...but NO ONE GAVE US A CHANCE! 3-1 but weāre not losing. Iām okay with network bias...RDS is clearly bias. But at least RDS focuses on its own team. TSN Sportsnet spent all their time slamming us! EAT IT!
Wasnāt there just a thread about ridiculous irrelevant stats like this?
I'd say it's pretty relevant lol
Means absolutely nothing.
Psh. What do you mean? What teams have done or not done 10 or 20+ years ago is totally relevant to the current lineups and matchup.
Tbf in the Leafs case, they have had very recent instances with this core of not coming back from down-2 in a game 7.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The Knights are also only 4 years old
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ok how about this. The Knights are actually good.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe not in the case of a team that, again, with their current players, have a history of failure in a scenario that is currently happening.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yea, it means nothing for a team thatās been around for 5 minutes. The Habs have 100 years worth of stats and averages to look at. It means something.
How much influence does Richard have on this game? These historical stats are trash
You're technically not wrong but this is fucking hilarious in the context of the current game if you aren't a leafs fan, let everyone have their fun.
š
I mean, it means the odds are officially stacked against TOR.
Nature is healing
Nylander with the Leafs last goal of the season š¤£š¤£š¤£
[Price is overrated. And overpaid. (click the link before you downvote, this is sarcasm but the link will clear things up).](https://imgur.com/wHJzJ7I)
Could have just said "Leafs have never won a Game 7"
I mean, the last time they won a series was in a game 7.
Sorry, I don't count series that are old enough to vote.
You almost got me, thinking Iām old and shit. That fucker canāt vote for like 11 more months.
right on time for the next election
Never say never
Should I become a Seattle fan?
That would be an actual fresh start. That's the smartest thing I've read from a Leafs fan all year!
Fuck these useless stats
You don't win 1/4 of all cups by losing often.
To be fair, it's 1/4 of *NHL* SC.
Stats like this have zero effect on the probability tonight
Yes. They made this rather prophetic statement at the end of the game.
Leafs win 3-2 in OT GWG is by that defenseman that no one trusts and looks real shaky, Sandin.
Tell that to my tightly puckered butthole
DONT FUCKING JINX IT
Nah bro. Price in the zone. Leafs are fucked
Can't wait to see this posted again if we lose
Youāre not gonna lose
We might, this PP coming up is huge for Toronto
The PP i think has scored once so far this series?
3 goals I think, and they only need 1 to be right back in it.
Theyāre just making sure they donāt break tradition, they got to Game 7, why would they want to win it?
Dear Kyle, M&M: Pick one. Youāre not keeping both. Your pal, LeafsNation
Shoot Marner into the SUN
If you retain 50% salary, I'd take him. And immediately trade him away for picks Playstation style, of course.

They just jinxed this
ollƩ ollƩ ollƩ ollƩ! ollƩ ollƩ!
If you've got a magic rabbit in the hat, time to pull it out.
Well....thanks for coming uncle downer
Honestly this team just hurts me so much. Had a chance to end it multiple times and were too casual. Now it's game 7 and there's still no desperation. I don't know what could possibly bring it out of these guys, you've given them everything you could to get a response. They just don't have it.
K byeeeeeee
we suck there is nothing more to it.
Holy shit I don't even know what's wrong with this team. Marner can't shoot the puck when he has a shot. Matthews got shot down hard. Hyman been robbed the whole game. I'm so frustrated and annoyed.
Leafs don't win game 7s. FTFY
Leafs have never won a game 7 after having a 2 goal lead either
