Only if Marner will waive his no trade protection which I doubt. If Shanahan is fired then it’s up to the next President to decide Treliving’s fate. I’d think the new president will keep Treliving as a possible scapegoat just as Treliving had kept Keefe. Treliving now has the option of replacing...

I saw it differently. They won game two but lost game 3, 4 and 7 because Swayman was better than Samsonov and the pp was awful. I have no complaints about the effort. I only remember the stupid penalties in game one lol.

The way they came back and forced game 7 might have saved some jobs. It’ll be the last kick of the can for the core four until Tavares and Marner’ contracts expire at the end of next season. The contracts for Klingberg and Brodie will come off the books and I hope Treliving will use that to...

I give them an A for effort but it wasn’t good enough, but at least there’s hoping that next year Woll will get us to the promised Land. Samsonov was very good until the last Moment.

Both Rielly and Samsonov were caught sleeping.

I think the Leafs wanted to prove me wrong and that they could win with Sammy.

Woll out Samsonov in - season’s over

I find it ridiculous and superstitious to suggest that this is a better team without Matthews. He was the best player in the first Leaf win of the series but unfortunately Swayman was much better than Samsonov in the Bruins’ three wins. Leafs won the last two because they had matching...

Big 👍 for Nylander coming through when he’s badly needed to. Woll and Knies were tremendous.

I’ve done my share of questioning and criticizing certain individual players’ heart and grit , but I don’t think it’s fair to paint the whole team with the same brush that they don’t want to win. I have no complaints about the efforts from the games I’ve watched in this playoffs, I see the Leaf...

For the series to continue Woll has to be at his best and the power play has to make an impact. Their ineptness as I see it stems from the lack of a competent point man, someone who has the ability to shoot through with power and accuracy to create rebounds and tip ins. Vast majority of their...

Leafs put up a Woll to win it. Had they had this kind of goaltending it might very well be the Bruins looking at elimination now.

Do these people know what they‘re talking about when they say ”this is the end of the core “ ? Correct me if I’m wrong, Matthews/Tavares/Nylander/Marner/Rielly are all on contract for 2024-2025 and beyond with no trade protection. They’ll stick around for at least another year. Treliving had a...

According to 99.99% of the Earth population, fans, media, haters and all the experts on this board, Boston had already won the series. No need to play game 5. Ownership should start firing everyone in the organization, but wait, what happens if you’re right ?

I still think the Leafs are a better team but the Bruins have the better goaltending. This is not to blame it all on Samsonov but the truth of the matter is he didn’t make enough key saves and allowed a softie in a very close game three. Injuries to Nylander and McMann have nullified the Leafs’...

Leafs can win this series with or without Nylander, as long as they don’t beat themselves with dumb penalties.

My prediction is the biggest upset will come from one of the Rangers/Caps, Oilers/Kings or Canes/Isles series. The other five series are close enough that any team can win. The NHL first round Playoffs are prone to upsets.

I happen to think that the pressure is even higher on the Leafs. If they fail to advance pass the first round for the fourth time in five years, there’ll be calls for breakup of the core. There’ll be a lot of criticism on Keefe, and perhaps on Shanahan too.

The Leafs have an edge on offence, 3 game breakers to two and depth imho. The keys will be 1) goaltending and 2) how the defence neutralizes the offence. The Boston’s defence is not what they used to be in the Chara/Bergeron era so I think the Leafs will score just enough to squeak by the Bruins...

Stranger things have happened, my early playoff predictions: - Boston played poorly to get the Leafs, only to be eleiminated by the Leafs, and - Florida played great to avoid the Leafs, only to be eliminated by Tampa. Mostly wishful thoughts admittedly. The reality is at this point the Leafs...
