What needs to change is the core all scoring at or close to their abilities. The year they did they moved on into round 2.

Kampf and Jarnkrok are not an issue.

They suck in the playoffs. It's definitely an issue.

I blame Obama. For the Leafs cuplessness since 67, for the state of the world, the cost of eggs, all of it.

It’s all Obama fault.

If he would’ve started a meme coin and scammed Americans out of billions of dollars, none of this would’ve happened. He (frank)ed up. Big time.

They just changed the name to "supervised consumption". Good old socialist trick of changing the name of stupid ideas to present them as new shiny ones.

Check his birth certificate.
Check nazi musk too...and his self admitted falsified us citizenship docs.

Oh nevermind, hes plastic white...so not an issue i guess

You forgot the other half of the equation which was Gilmour, Clark and Andreychuk scored in the playoffs with no problem. The Leafs could afford to have a line that did not provide supplementary scoring at that time.

Also, as nice as that 92-94 run was ultimately it was unsuccessful. I prefer to look at Cup winners or at worst finalists.

Unfortunately, our current core has problems scoring in the playoffs. That means our bottom-six guys have to chip in more than just 1 goal every 20 games.

Does that mean I expect Jarnkrok to score 10 playoff goals? Absolutely not. But, more like Zezel, who use to be a very effective scorer, we need guys who can contribute more than just sit in their own zone for 15 min a game.

Think of Cirelli as the best possible example. Scored 9 goals in the regular season but had 5 goals and 12 points in 23 playoff games when they most recently won the Cup. Obviously, we can't get Cirelli, but a guy who can score 3-5 goals and 10 playoff points is better than what Jarnkrok and Kampf have already proven they can't provide.
- Rare_Jewel

so that should fall on Marner, Matthews, Nylander (who's been scoring in the playoffs) and JT.

Yes, Canada should expect other countries to defend it's borders. Makes sense. Maybe the next time the Leafs play, their opponent can block their own shots against the Leafs net.

Oh wait, they have to depend on the US to provide defense or they'd be conquered in 8 seconds.
- Rare_Jewel

Precisely why every peaceful nation on earth which isn't attached to the US has been conquered in 8 seconds.

Nothing as painful as seeing your favourite resort country go down to these blasted 8 second conquerings🤦

But less than they should be which means the depth has to help them more.

Or they can keep doing what they have done 7 years prior and expect different results.

Must be why NATO was dissolved and everybody else paid for it accordingly.

Panthers had 7 guys with 5 or more playoff goals.

When Vegas won, they had 8 guys with 5 or more playoff goals.

The only time the Leafs won a playoff round, Matthews was the only one to reach 5 and got bounced because there was no depth putting the puck in, including the core.

We all know the Leafs core players have trouble scoring in the playoffs. That means the bottom-six has to contribute more.
- Rare_Jewel

Why? there rolls is to support the big guys and chip in. If the big guys are NOT doing their jobs, then why is on the bottom 6 to bring them up?

edit: damn my brain for not typing my though out correctly.

Their role is to improve the team. You want the team to improve, correct? Good. I do too.

If the Leafs core players struggle to score in the playoffs and the core is not changing that means something else has to change. And that something else should be the depth players who have failed to provide more help in the playoffs.

If the Leafs core improves by scoring a little more and their depth players are replaced to also score a little more, your odds of success increase. You keep the same pylons, you get the same results.

There is reason to believe the core players may improve. There's nothing to believe Jarnkrok and Kampf are going to be better.

the whole team sucks in the playoffs.

why can't the 10M+ player do their job and score goals.
why does the bottom guys need to pick up the big boys. They should not need the bottom 6 to do that.
Energy and checking are the bottom 6 rolls with a sprinkle of goals

and here is the big one.

Play more than 7 playoff games and you know something, the bottom 6 would have more goals..

gee

I agree with you, the 10 million dollar players SHOULD score more. But they don't. And they're not going anywhere. You know who is easier to replace? The guys making 2 million who have been known to suck in the playoffs.

They have played this game with these same garbage depth players too many times.

So, instead of praying Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Tavares HAVE TO score 10 goals each, maybe they only have to score 7 because a guy lower in the line-up scored 3 instead of 0.

This is the exact reason they make deadline deals; to improve the depth.

You just have unrealistic expectations from depth players, that is all this is.

Top 6 is in good shape with Knies and McManly or Patch playing on the left of the second line. There are plenty of options to fill a 4th line. They need a 3C who they can trust defensively and provide some offense. Cost of that guy will determine who moves out.

I think they need to add someone to the D corps who plays on the left side.

Goaltending is a strength.

that would require people taken a discount on contracts to play for the Leafs.
We ALL know this ain't happening as Marner will get at least 12.75M per year on he's next contract.

I think I can sum up Jewelsies playoff roster posts with one sentence.

“Try to trade guys for better guys.”


I hope I have that right…?

I’d have to agree.
