Canadiens @ Leafs - May 31st, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

The 180 I have taken on this team is pretty hairpin.    I thought this core was awesome.  I want it broken up.  The effort is just absolutely garbage in a Game 7. 

Injuries, sure.  This team isn?t good.  They can?t win important games.  I genuinely dislike this team.  But hey at least we can have one of the most expensive cores without a playoff series win
 
Somehow that happy-talk goal announcement of a meaningless marker kinds of sums up why the Leafs are perennial losers.

What an unbelievable joke.  Bring on the tear down.  Get the hell out of town Marner.  I?d look at moving Rielly in the off-season too.  Not because I dislike him but we aren?t going to hold on to him after next year.  This team needs major changes
They are way too top heavy. There's absolutely no reliable depth. Nobody apart from Spezza and Nylander could actually score. One JT goes down the team is screwed. You need a more balanced lineup where you can get decent performances reliably.

Well... That's disappointing.
Hey, tone it down, man.

Yeah, they tried. Sorta.

This is the thing that just kills me. Thr last 3 games have about 20 combined minutes of the team playing hockey. It's hard to win when Tavares is out.

And Marner. And Matthews.

Props to Nylander for showing up this series. But wow. That sucked.
 
For me, this is the most humiliating playoff loss I have experienced as a Leafs fan. Boston was brutal and yes, disappointing. But losing this series when up 3-1 against a team that was so far behind in the standings, and the Habs to boot (the team I have always disliked the most), well, that takes the cake for me. I feel completely frustrated and dejected at the same time.

I don't know what else to say.

That's the problem. All the money spent on 4 forwards and no supporting case that is any kind of threat. So if you shut down the top line you beat the Leafs.

Something needs to change. Keefe maybe. Marner maybe. Rielly? Maybe. Regular season heros, playoff zeros.

And the crazy thing is you literally can start tracing this back from when they didn't offload JVR and Bozak in favour of long term thinking. Now they're so top heavy they can't add depth. One of the top 2 centres goes and the house of cards collapses.
 
I?m already preparing my points for tomorrow at work with the stupid Habs fans.

?I know, it?s embarrassing losing to such a bad team like Montreal..?
 
Marner needed to be better. Matthews needed to be better. Everyone other than like Nylander and Spezza needed to be better.

Said that after the signings. If the 3 selfish no shows didn?t want to take a small cut after signing JT then I would have seriously looked at retooling. Sure you lose some awesome talent but man you can acquire a whole bunch of talent, picks you name it.
