You can't coach heart. Matthews was disappointed that he didn't get that 70th, and didn't seem too excited about the upcoming playoffs. He doesn't get paid for playoff games, and it shows. love him or hate him, Marchand makes almost HALF the money of at least 4 leaf players and plays with everything he's got every night.
interesting observation. I noticed that during the last few games of the regular season when he wasn't scoring, he did not celebrate when teammates scored.
It's like they value their celebrity status more than they value being NHL players with the drive to be champions. They just use the regular season to pad their stats to get fat contacts. It also doesn't help to have NHL media and Leafs fans constantly over hype them year after year and enable their behavior and acceptance for failure.
do we know if it was actually Marner he was talking to? Regardless I can’t fathom that this level of frustration is being allowed on the bench. Not what Nylander said, but the fact that players are complaining so much that it’s annoying their teammates. Someone (a coach) needs to tell players to stfu and play at some point, you can’t have your players arguing on the bench like jesus christ, ofc everyone’s gonna tilt and lose focus if that shit’s going on.

New coach is needed but I also think Tavares and Marner need to go. Marner only tries to do enough to get the heat off him and Tavares is barely worth half of his contract at this point.

In the regular season you can win a lot of games with a small group of highly skilled forwards. In the playoffs however that goes out the window. You win in the playoffs based upon things like your second and third D-men pairings and your second unit penalty kill. Requires a deep team with talent spread throughout. This isn't rocket science. Except to the Leafs. Everyone else has figured it out.
It's also much harder for skilled players to dominate games when the opponent is 100% effort on every shift. There are no easy shifts in the playoffs, and you don't feast off 10 power play games. It takes a special player, and no one on the Leafs has it.

Well, they r thinkg, "whats the point? We can't beat any of the OTHER teams in the playoffs right now! Might as well get to golfing and jet skiing." They know there is 1 month of summer, with 2 months of bad sledding surrounding it. You can't enjoy millions$ nearly as well when u r hurt....and didn't even make it past 2 rnd. Again.
I predict an OT Boston victory in game 5 with Woll in the Leafs net, standing on his head throughout the game only for them to get their hearts broken, yet again, by a Boston team willing to do whatever it takes.
Apparently Matthews left after 2nd intermission because of food poisoning, but this just goes to show the difference between a team like Boston and a team like Toronto....Bergeron played with a PUNCTURED lung in the playoffs and in Toronto in a pretty much a must win game for the Leafs, their star player doesn't even finish the game because of food poisoning. Shows you how much different a team these 2 are.
Last January I had the worst food poisoning and it sucked BAD. But I see your point. As a Blues fan, of course I know Bruins very well with 2019 and other matches. Blues and Bruins consider each other rivals for good reason. I do remember Zdeno Chara willing to play 4 games in the 2019 SCF against the Blues with a BROKEN JAW and even started is some of the games. It’s crazy how some of these players are willing to go through so much for their teams and others are not. Chara literally could’ve died during the 2019 SCF. But he chose to help the team instead. They might of fallen short of the cup that year. But, me and my father have nothing but the utmost respect for Chara for what he did.
@@Konananand none of those levels even come close to broken ribs, punctured lungs, & torn cartilage, but I bet you’re a big tough guy for getting over that tummy ache! I’m proud of you champ 😂😂
Dubas gave up Hyman (50+goals), Moore (30+ w LA), Brown (Pk specialist), Marchment, Jared (awesome for Seattle) and Freddy (going on a cup run w Carolina. Oh yes and Kadri, who WON A CUP. 😅 SHANAHAN OUT.
Its a psychological issue in leafs town. This has been happening for years! Never fully rebuilding, outlandishly HIGH contracts, and, like most Leafs fans, self induced blindness to the situation. There is a reason good players have left that team, more importantly, that town. It sucks to go thru a real rebuild. But having a team thag gives you false playoff hopes by having an "ok" season regularly, with "much better" seasons sprinkled in, is just unrealistic in reaching the cup. They should have rebuilt for real before mathews got there, and they would be in a real position to make at least ECF. It sucks, but maybe the fans need to not boo their home team in a pre-season game, because the redwings are whipping them without any starting stars playing. Players want to leave because of the pressure of unrealistic expectations from fans on players who are playing on a team whose management wont go all in on having a well rounded team. As i understand it, the Leafs have very little in regards to draft picks coming in the next 5 yrs.(they r1 of lowest rated teams for draft picks coming up in their system) they have paid cup winning money to players (not mathews) who are literally not cup winners. And unfortunately, they wont be while in tor for yrs to come.
Seems to me, the 1st reply is what management has been saying for yrs. Proof of no true rebuild is example #1 Netminding. For the last 10 yrs or so. (When Leafs have had a good goalie, they have lacked in other positions enough that having a good net minder isn't enough) #2 they have no draft pool of 1st line players itching to get the opportunity; if they did, they would've called them up. #3....I will let others add to the list, so I'm not the only kid in class answering every question!
1. Keefe 2. Marner 3. Tavares You need a coach with a spine to stand up to players and actually make them accountable. You need a number 1 D-Man (for Marner). You need an actual captain to lead by example and ramp up the players' intensity.
Leafs need two teams: Team A gets them to the playoffs, and Team B gets them to the cup. Send Mathews, Marner and Tavares to the golf course and keep Nylander, Reilly and the cheap players for the playoffs.
been sayin that for years...he needs to grow a pair...it is a mans game in the playoffs...it gets mean Mitchy starts crying, Tavares as well...pampered soft guys
In this league the last thing a team wants to be is down 3-0 or 3-1 in the playoffs. We have seen teams come back from a 3-0 deficit and win so it is not over until it is over. If this happens again i do see a major shakeup within the organization.
The classic hockey formula for success is a couple of star forwards, a star d-man, a kick-ass goalie, and a solid supporting cast. But Shanahan and Dubas thought that they were smarter than everyone else, and they decided to over-invest cap money in four star forwards. And with Tavares getting older and slower, they have four star contracts, but really only three star players. And of those, Marner has consistently shown that he is not a strong playoff performer. Now we have a situation where all four are either injured or old. The Leafs would have been better off if they had kept Freddie Anderson in net, and traded one of their marquee forwards for a great d-man and a bunch of draft picks or supporting players.
Lou would never have gone all in on the core four like Shanahan has insisted. Obviously it is a fundamental mistake. Yes, Nylander is a very good player, but an opportunity was missed by not trading him this year to gain some balance.....Shanahan, Treliving and Keefe need to go....
Will never feel bad for the leafs. They’ve had 68 years to make something happen, and yet they’ve been nothing but garbage for that entire time. Will forever amuse me knowing they’re leafs fans out there (who’re the most classless, stupid, delusional people ever) that actually think they’ll contend for a cup with matty (who ain’t top 5) Marner, Rielly tavs, and willie on their team. Dumpster fire franchise.
Nobody can't get over the pressure of the Toronto market. Maybe if the Toronto market took on a winning and not a winging attitude they might win more.
Hogtown Hoser here... My Buddy is an avid Golfer and Leafs-supporter. I told him the Bruins would win the Series in five games - I didn't have the heart to say "FOUR!"...
Without Matthews this would be a sweep. He's the only one worth anything. Every team they face knows that all they have to do is cover Matthews and the Leafs will lose. Welcome to Laughs nation!
It's not the core 4, the problem lies with coaching. Keefe is not the coach for this team. I realize that this comment has been made before but it is true. Paul Maurice of Florida is a prime example. The Leafs are just as talented as Florida, but Maurice knows how to utilize his talent that he has on the bench.
Did anyone manage to read lips there (especially Nylander)?? I'm terrible at reading lips, so can someone who's good at it please provide a sort of transcript? I'd appreciate it. 😊
There are multiple players on the Canucks that have scored multiple goals in one game than Austin Matthews. Lindholm, two Goals and OT winner tonight. Dakota Joshua, two goals. Brock Boeser got 3 tonight. I too feel bad for the leafs.
I had known for a long time that the Maple Leafs hadn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967, but I was stunned to learn last year that they had lost 18 consecutive Stanley Cup series! Geez Louise.
Hey Dean, great video! I'm hoping the Bruins close it out in Boston, but I think they'll have to go back to Toronto. Then the Panthers are going to be tough.
Not sure why this is such a shock honestly. The Bruins have owned Toronto in the playoffs for quite awhile now and they swept all 4 games in the regular season. It was strange to me when Bruin fans were upset we dropped our last 3 games and ended up second instead of first. I was happy because it meant Toronto in the first round and not Tampa, a team we have had issues with. Some teams just match up against other teams much better than they would others. Could boil down to systems etc. Throw in lack of confidence due to past results and this is what happens. What Toronto needs is to deal some of that salary cap weight they carry in 4 players and get a few Bertuzzii types and a good young goalie along with a few good draft picks. They will not win a cup with this crew. I see Edmonton as very similar. Certainly right now Skinner is very confident and playing well, but if he went down or lost that confidence, good bye Edmonton. Due to a much easier conference and division, Edmonton will win a round or 2 but no cup either. Not deep enough !!!!!!!! IMO
McDavid gets 5 assists in 1 game, Hyman has 6 goals in 3 games... yall must be envious... I'm not making fun i would be too and you're absolutely right, Tavares and Marner gotta go.
Yah but keep in mind mathews wouldn't be anybody without marner I'm sorry and he would never score as many goals as he had that's a fact mitch marner does it all he's a play maker kills penalties does it all the best player by far on the team mathews got greedy and selfish to try and get his 70th goal when they could have won the last few games in regular season that selfish because there were chances someone else could of scored like come on for real stupid 70 goals that's a cry baby
If you're core is comprised of talented players that have never had to fight hard to achieve success, you shouldn't be surprised they don't how to compete against more aggressive, motivated opponents.
I agree the core 4 isn't working but who in their right mind is going to make a trade for any of them after what they have shown in any playoffs ? The Tavares signing was a HUGE MISTAKE as well as keeping Keefe behind the bench. Sheldon is gone but they are stuck with Tavares for at least one more year and i don't see Matthews , Marner or Nylander going anywhere.
It's more so the coaching. Look at van. They would not be the same team without tocchet. They have been doing the shanaplan for too long with the most embarrassing results imaginable only to keep hitting the redo button. Leafs ownership is the definition of insanity.
The Toronto Maple Leaf's are like Stan Mikita's Chicago Blackhawks, full of talent didn't play as a team and only won one Stanley cup. You build a team from the back end forward. Brenden Shanahan needs to go.
But how are they going to manage that? They can't move Tavares contract. They can't move Matthews without getting robbed. Are you moving Nylander, the one who usually shows up in the play offs? So just Marner?
I’m not a leafs fan at all. But I hope lessons are being learned here about hockey. Anyone who’s watched enough hockey knows it isn’t over until it’s over. The game is a game of momentum swings and anything that can happen WILL happen.

And now even if they are willing to blow up this squad, they will be hamstrung by the contracts!
@@dereksbookscan't blow up something that doesn't wanna move 😂 NO MOVEMENT CLAUSES SUCK 🤣🤣🤣🤣 all their contracts on the big 5 have no movement clauses
Montreal has built a playoff team ! Watch out next year !
Whatever…
@@stevenweint7893 Bettman favours southern teams anyway !
Literally the Dallas Cowboys doppelgängers wow
If your "Core 4" doesn't include a Goalie, you will never be successful.
I kinda' feel sorry for the Leafs....
Nah, just kiddin'.
Go BRUINS.
I’m not sorry, I’m loving this.
LETS PUT IT THIS WAY...IF YOU WERE PAID MILLIONS AND HAD A CHOICE FOR 5 MONTHS OFF,HEALTHY AND NOT BRUISED AND BEAT UP VERSES PLAYING UNTIL THE END OF JUNE AND BEAT UP WITH ONLY 3 MONTHS OFF AND TAKING A MONTH TO HEAL....WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m thinking and they’re not getting paid too.
That’s what it looked like last night. They do want to win but it’s sooooo hard .
Well, they r thinkg, "whats the point? We can't beat any of the OTHER teams in the playoffs right now! Might as well get to golfing and jet skiing." They know there is 1 month of summer, with 2 months of bad sledding surrounding it. You can't enjoy millions$ nearly as well when u r hurt....and didn't even make it past 2 rnd. Again.
"You have to split the core 4"
All 4 have NMC.
I predict an OT Boston victory in game 5 with Woll in the Leafs net, standing on his head throughout the game only for them to get their hearts broken, yet again, by a Boston team willing to do whatever it takes.
Apparently Matthews left after 2nd intermission because of food poisoning, but this just goes to show the difference between a team like Boston and a team like Toronto....Bergeron played with a PUNCTURED lung in the playoffs and in Toronto in a pretty much a must win game for the Leafs, their star player doesn't even finish the game because of food poisoning. Shows you how much different a team these 2 are.
Food poisoning def sucks tho
@@liamweston2933he could have easily had a quick puke and went back out.
Last January I had the worst food poisoning and it sucked BAD. But I see your point. As a Blues fan, of course I know Bruins very well with 2019 and other matches. Blues and Bruins consider each other rivals for good reason. I do remember Zdeno Chara willing to play 4 games in the 2019 SCF against the Blues with a BROKEN JAW and even started is some of the games. It’s crazy how some of these players are willing to go through so much for their teams and others are not. Chara literally could’ve died during the 2019 SCF. But he chose to help the team instead. They might of fallen short of the cup that year. But, me and my father have nothing but the utmost respect for Chara for what he did.
I had food poisoning once and felt like I was going to die. There are levels to food poisoning.
@@Konananand none of those levels even come close to broken ribs, punctured lungs, & torn cartilage, but I bet you’re a big tough guy for getting over that tummy ache! I’m proud of you champ 😂😂
Everyone talks shit about Marchand but he is the epitome of heart and a perfect example of "team friendly" deal. You want to chase cups or tee times?
Dubas gave up Hyman (50+goals), Moore (30+ w LA), Brown (Pk specialist), Marchment, Jared (awesome for Seattle) and Freddy (going on a cup run w Carolina. Oh yes and Kadri, who WON A CUP. 😅
SHANAHAN OUT.
regards from Vancouver
trade em all for picks. did auston really quit
When a team names a group of their players "the core four" it's the first sign of their demise.
Being a Leafs fan all my life, my son naturally became a fan, too. Now I feel like an abusive dad.
Honestly the best thing I ever did was not become a cowboys fan like my dad. Made the mistake of investing in this team
Why would your son "naturally" become a Leafs fan; you indoctrinated him. Admit it.
@@sublime8728 Yes, I did...naturally
Domi and Reaves.
Great additions.
Treliving is on glue.
Bert and Klingberg. Upping the ante on Willy and Auston, extending Sammy. SMH.
I knew Toronto was done when they didn't re-sign Hyman.
Not even a fan of neither but Marchand tripping players right in front of the refs that lead to game winning goals is grimy.
It's so toront-over
Gilmore, Clark, Andrechuck and Potvin is the last Leaf team to do anything in the playoffs and that was 30 years ago.
You must of been hiding in a bunker in 1999 until y2k panic was over.
Blowout. 10-0 Bruins. Condolences, Maple Leafs. I knew this was gonna happen.
Its a psychological issue in leafs town. This has been happening for years! Never fully rebuilding, outlandishly HIGH contracts, and, like most Leafs fans, self induced blindness to the situation. There is a reason good players have left that team, more importantly, that town. It sucks to go thru a real rebuild. But having a team thag gives you false playoff hopes by having an "ok" season regularly, with "much better" seasons sprinkled in, is just unrealistic in reaching the cup. They should have rebuilt for real before mathews got there, and they would be in a real position to make at least ECF. It sucks, but maybe the fans need to not boo their home team in a pre-season game, because the redwings are whipping them without any starting stars playing. Players want to leave because of the pressure of unrealistic expectations from fans on players who are playing on a team whose management wont go all in on having a well rounded team. As i understand it, the Leafs have very little in regards to draft picks coming in the next 5 yrs.(they r1 of lowest rated teams for draft picks coming up in their system) they have paid cup winning money to players (not mathews) who are literally not cup winners. And unfortunately, they wont be while in tor for yrs to come.
They fully rebuilt bro
Who? Leafs? Rebuilt to lose, again, in 1st round? I am truly curious to know what u mean.
Seems to me, the 1st reply is what management has been saying for yrs. Proof of no true rebuild is example #1 Netminding. For the last 10 yrs or so. (When Leafs have had a good goalie, they have lacked in other positions enough that having a good net minder isn't enough) #2 they have no draft pool of 1st line players itching to get the opportunity; if they did, they would've called them up. #3....I will let others add to the list, so I'm not the only kid in class answering every question!
Needs to go:
1. Sheldon Keefe
2. Brendan Shanahan
3. Auston Matthews.
You can't win with Auston Matthews.
4. Mitch Marner
marner before matthews. you don't trade a guy like matthews away. he'll thrive on a proper team
5. John Taveras. He is the captain. Where is his leadership? Nobody talks about this.
@@leonroberts01his leadership is non-existent.
1. Keefe
2. Marner
3. Tavares
You need a coach with a spine to stand up to players and actually make them accountable. You need a number 1 D-Man (for Marner). You need an actual captain to lead by example and ramp up the players' intensity.
Leafs need two teams: Team A gets them to the playoffs, and Team B gets them to the cup. Send Mathews, Marner and Tavares to the golf course and keep Nylander, Reilly and the cheap players for the playoffs.
year 10 of the shanascam 😂
To all of the Leaf fans that watch this video, I am not.
You all deserve it. 🍻
You nailed it in the last bit, no changes!
Marner needs therapy for his Dads abusive hockey parenting.
BINGO. FINALLY SOMEONE GOT IT RIGHT
been sayin that for years...he needs to grow a pair...it is a mans game in the playoffs...it gets mean Mitchy starts crying, Tavares as well...pampered soft guys
In this league the last thing a team wants to be is down 3-0 or 3-1 in the playoffs. We have seen teams come back from a 3-0 deficit and win so it is not over until it is over. If this happens again i do see a major shakeup within the organization.
Leafs are just not a playoff team.Not built for it.
Bet you they still find a way to lose in 7, just to give us fans that last little bit of hope before crushing it again
Did the people who bought tickets get refund since there wasn't a hockey game tonight?
I'll be back in five years when the new rebuild hits its stride. This time let's start with the D corps.
Move the team to Arizona, make matthews captain watch them win the cup.
There's no team in Arizona
@@sean367 Perfect they'll have the whole market to themselves.
So why do all the first round series go to a game 7
The classic hockey formula for success is a couple of star forwards, a star d-man, a kick-ass goalie, and a solid supporting cast. But Shanahan and Dubas thought that they were smarter than everyone else, and they decided to over-invest cap money in four star forwards. And with Tavares getting older and slower, they have four star contracts, but really only three star players. And of those, Marner has consistently shown that he is not a strong playoff performer. Now we have a situation where all four are either injured or old. The Leafs would have been better off if they had kept Freddie Anderson in net, and traded one of their marquee forwards for a great d-man and a bunch of draft picks or supporting players.
Lou would never have gone all in on the core four like Shanahan has insisted. Obviously it is a fundamental mistake. Yes, Nylander is a very good player, but an opportunity was missed by not trading him this year to gain some balance.....Shanahan, Treliving and Keefe need to go....
Will never feel bad for the leafs. They’ve had 68 years to make something happen, and yet they’ve been nothing but garbage for that entire time. Will forever amuse me knowing they’re leafs fans out there (who’re the most classless, stupid, delusional people ever) that actually think they’ll contend for a cup with matty (who ain’t top 5) Marner, Rielly tavs, and willie on their team. Dumpster fire franchise.
Was Matthews ear ring bothering him
This just in. The Leafs have broken TH-cam commentators, all over the internet!
Don't feel bad for the most toxic fans in the league.
Did Auston Matthews tell Marner and Nylander he can't play anymore, and that what started the arguing on the bench?
Nobody can't get over the pressure of the Toronto market. Maybe if the Toronto market took on a winning and not a winging attitude they might win more.
Hogtown Hoser here... My Buddy is an avid Golfer and Leafs-supporter. I told him the Bruins would win the Series in five games - I didn't have the heart to say "FOUR!"...
Nylander, Matthews and Marner should’ve left at free agency.
Bruins in 5 boys
Bruins in 5 boys??? Are they Roman Catholic?! 😧😧😧
Without Matthews this would be a sweep. He's the only one worth anything. Every team they face knows that all they have to do is cover Matthews and the Leafs will lose. Welcome to Laughs nation!
It's not the core 4, the problem lies with coaching. Keefe is not the coach for this team. I realize that this comment has been made before but it is true. Paul Maurice of Florida is a prime example. The Leafs are just as talented as Florida, but Maurice knows how to utilize his talent that he has on the bench.
Did anyone manage to read lips there (especially Nylander)?? I'm terrible at reading lips, so can someone who's good at it please provide a sort of transcript? I'd appreciate it. 😊
There are multiple players on the Canucks that have scored multiple goals in one game than Austin Matthews. Lindholm, two Goals and OT winner tonight. Dakota Joshua, two goals. Brock Boeser got 3 tonight. I too feel bad for the leafs.
I had known for a long time that the Maple Leafs hadn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967, but I was stunned to learn last year that they had lost 18 consecutive Stanley Cup series! Geez Louise.
Who's going to take on inflated contracts for any of the 4?
Chicago might.
Hey Dean, great video! I'm hoping the Bruins close it out in Boston, but I think they'll have to go back to Toronto. Then the Panthers are going to be tough.
Not sure why this is such a shock honestly. The Bruins have owned Toronto in the playoffs for quite awhile now and they swept all 4 games in the regular season. It was strange to me when Bruin fans were upset we dropped our last 3 games and ended up second instead of first. I was happy because it meant Toronto in the first round and not Tampa, a team we have had issues with. Some teams just match up against other teams much better than they would others. Could boil down to systems etc. Throw in lack of confidence due to past results and this is what happens.
What Toronto needs is to deal some of that salary cap weight they carry in 4 players and get a few Bertuzzii types and a good young goalie along with a few good draft picks. They will not win a cup with this crew. I see Edmonton as very similar. Certainly right now Skinner is very confident and playing well, but if he went down or lost that confidence, good bye Edmonton. Due to a much easier conference and division, Edmonton will win a round or 2 but no cup either. Not deep enough !!!!!!!! IMO
McDavid gets 5 assists in 1 game, Hyman has 6 goals in 3 games... yall must be envious... I'm not making fun i would be too and you're absolutely right, Tavares and Marner gotta go.
“Stop fucking crying Marner… this isn’t fucking junior” - Nylander. Truer words have never been spoken by any of the core 4 before that
Marner throws gloves and screams " Why is Winning so Hard?" 😂
Yah but keep in mind mathews wouldn't be anybody without marner I'm sorry and he would never score as many goals as he had that's a fact mitch marner does it all he's a play maker kills penalties does it all the best player by far on the team mathews got greedy and selfish to try and get his 70th goal when they could have won the last few games in regular season that selfish because there were chances someone else could of scored like come on for real stupid 70 goals that's a cry baby
ON A POSITIVE NOTE
THE LEAFS HAVE SOME OF THE BEST GOLFERS IN THE NHL
Big news Toronto just signed 3 new Russian hockey players Summeroff, Teeoff and pissedoff.
If you're core is comprised of talented players that have never had to fight hard to achieve success, you shouldn't be surprised they don't how to compete against more aggressive, motivated opponents.
I agree the core 4 isn't working but who in their right mind is going to make a trade for any of them after what they have shown in any playoffs ? The Tavares signing was a HUGE MISTAKE as well as keeping Keefe behind the bench. Sheldon is gone but they are stuck with Tavares for at least one more year and i don't see Matthews , Marner or Nylander going anywhere.
They are clearly talking about what suit to wear to Boston for their exit party.
It's more so the coaching. Look at van. They would not be the same team without tocchet. They have been doing the shanaplan for too long with the most embarrassing results imaginable only to keep hitting the redo button. Leafs ownership is the definition of insanity.
I don't know how they can move any of those guys. No trade clauses and long contracts.
The Toronto Maple Leaf's are like Stan Mikita's Chicago Blackhawks, full of talent didn't play as a team and only won one Stanley cup. You build a team from the back end forward. Brenden Shanahan needs to go.
But how are they going to manage that?
They can't move Tavares contract.
They can't move Matthews without getting robbed.
Are you moving Nylander, the one who usually shows up in the play offs?
So just Marner?
I’m not a leafs fan at all. But I hope lessons are being learned here about hockey. Anyone who’s watched enough hockey knows it isn’t over until it’s over. The game is a game of momentum swings and anything that can happen WILL happen.
Keep The Golf Quartet together😅 seriously though they don't block shots
Matthews threw up in the lockeroom after second period.
And he usually shits the bed in the playoffs, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
