No doubt MLSE wants the Leafs to go deep in the playoffs, more $$$$$ for MLSE.
You are correct, but the Leafs ( first round playoff casualties ) are still more profitable than even the Stanley Cup winning teams at the end of the day.

Leafs won all 3 OT games to beat TB.
They needed to win both OT games to beat Boston.

From when Matts Sundin left…..to the Brandon Shanahan arrival…those were some sad years for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They finally bottomed out and landed Auston Mattews.

Babbcock has come and gone. Keefe is now gone. The bottom line is no success and it falls on Shanahan.

The leafs issue has always been a true D, been like that for many years. We need like a scott stevens or chris pronger bruising type.

I admire Reilly’s love for the team and the city, but unfortunately he’s not the no. 1 d man like those with cup winners or serious contenders. He doesn’t bring enough offence, can’t quarterback the pp and is weak defensively. The second highest paid d Brodie is another over the hill player on this team.

Leafs have won "one" stinking playoff series in 20 years. Disgusting ! Mitch Marner gave up on the play and let Pasternak fly past him. Marner has to go. If he blocks a trade then sit him. And contrary to what the media seems to be thinking, just because this Friday news conference has Keith Pelly, Brendan Shanahan and Brad Treveling together at the same table is not necessarily a sign of solidarity. It is a joint news conference. That is all it is. An opportunity for media to question all 3 with Pelly about to take over control. An end of season news conference. Doesn't mean all 3 will be together by the time Keith Pelly officially takes over. Keith Pelly can still fire both Shanahan and Treveling. Firing Keefe is just a formality. What ya gonna keep Brad Treveling just cause he Dad Jim owns Boston Pizza and was on Dragons Den ? how stupid

I think that is the consensus among most business experts. It just seems to make the most sense.
The bigger question here is who is making the hockey decisions here. Is it Shanahan or Treliving? Or is it a big secret. Nobody knows.

Seems Sheldon Keefe just got sacked.

What do you think is the only thing why?

He is not the one who signed Tavares and limited the Leaf's ability to grab 2 better defender. Wich such they would still be in the playoff..
The person who should've been sacked goes by the initials BS

D wasn't their weakness against Boston. The last 3 games were decided by 1 goal. It was special teams that sucked. The PP was 1/21 which is pathetic.
