Keefe and Matthews imo.

I’m honestly thinking Matthews is no longer liking the media attention playing in Toronto

We shall see. I’m guessing the moves will be made quickly since there’s some important decisions to be made by July 1

- Dozzer

Nah.

Matthews won the Hart, Richard, and Lindsay last year. He was clearly playing with a chronic injury this season.

Unless he says he won't re-sign or gives an indication he won't, he stays.

Nylander needs to go and the Leafs need to get themselves a stud d-man who can play top pair mins.

What all this about 2 goal stuff? When they were scoring piles of goals it was "cant win games in playoffs like that! Gotta win 2 to 1 games!" So they do that and now its "can't win low scoring games". Lol

Bitter loss. Ah well. Should have played a better game 2 and 3.

Losing to Florida 4-1 is just plain sucky. Florida will get killed next round. They suck bad and I can't figure how the Leafs can be worse.
- Leaffrog


So the panthers beat the presidents trophy winning Boston and beat Toronto in 5 but they suck?
Just maybe not. Good teams find ways to win games.

It’s getting blown up.

Sorry, but if you think this core can win a cup, you’re not very smart.

It was the leafs primary offence that failed this series, they’re the ones who need changing.

Skalapy has been right all along.

Any Habs rumours?

Nuff said.

A ten million dollar guy couldn’t score in 5 games.

Hurt or not that’s too far a stretch in playoff time.

I'm not gonna dispute that.

we'll need to see what happens next.

Dubas isn't back and the new GM has no attachment to this group and could swing some interesting deals.

Ya (frank) him.
Not even on Draisaitl's level.

He’s not worth his next contract if he can’t get truly leaned on

Dozzer puts a lot of stock in the home country of the player.

7 straight games scoring 2 goals for a team that has some elite/superstar talent.

Unacceptable.

They actually do suck. They got outplayed in both series the majority of the time.

And the same is true about the Leafs. They didn't deserve to beat Tampa Bay.

Winning one round became their Stanley Cup.

There is a Cinderella story every year and the Panthers are going all the way. And then losing in the Finals. Happens all the time.

You do have to win 2-1 games.
Unfortunately, the leafs allowed 2-3 goals most games

That is the story.. feel bad for Woll, Reilly.

The season ending interviews with Dubas and Keefe should be hilarious.

Wonder which jersey Marnef will be wearing next year

Nylander and Matthews are the same bloody player. Goal scorers. So keep the cheaper of the two who has proven they’re more reliable in the post season.

I sincerely think Matthews no longer wants to be a leaf as well tbh.

See the brace on his hand in the handshake line? Explains a lot.

Toronto can have Torts to coach. No trade even needed you can just have him as a good will gesture.

There is no doubt about that. I thought they were going to make changes last year TBH. It was pretty clear to me then that this core could not and will not get it done.
