Barely even want to watch this, it's been a fucking pathetic display all series.

I do not think Toronto is going to win this game!

Well the Leafs were lucky to be leading after the second. The final score is far more reflective of the actual game. The entire team needed to be better, but you have to highlight the poor showings by Matthews, Nyalnder, Gardiner, and Anderson. You have to wonder if some of them won’t be back next season.

It is never good to lay off after a lead! Always go full throttle in the playoffs!

The Leafs weren’t laying off. They just weren’t very good.

Ya Andersen let some in he should of stopped, but the Leafs aren't even playing tn if he doesn't stand on his head for the team's 3 wins.

If you continually put your Goalie in a situation where he has to be phenomenal to even survive, you're going to have a bad time.

Gardiner looks like he has, at best, grown marginally better defensively since the last loss in 2013. What a joke that he's probably going to get signed to $5 million+

2 years into a ground up rebuild, it seems like there is still a lot of work to be done. Though Im sure they are further along than they thought they'd be 2 years ago.

The loss isn’t on Anderson, but he played to the level of the rest of the team. He’ll probably stick around, but the Leafs would be lucky to shed his contract for a cheaper replacement.

It’s hard to let a guy like Gardiner go when you’re already so weak on D, but the Leafs should seriously think of packaging him for an upgrade.

On the bright side, I thought Marner and Rielly had strong performances. The rest of our core not so much.

Leaf fans shouldn't sweat this.

The Bruins have the devil not their side.

That's always a bit hard to overcome.

suburbanite · #**1951** Posted **Apr 26, 2018, 3:05 AM**

Andersen is not going anywhere. Gardiner likely isn't either because his advanced stats and possession game help mask some of his glaring, back-breaking weaknesses.

Time to drop a couple more of the old Leafs this summer with letting JVR and Bozak walk. Look forward to welcoming some additional players from the development system that has proven extremely effective to this point.

The Leafs will not have as easy ride next year. Surely the Atlantic Division will be more competitive instead of having three teams totally crash and burn at the same time.

lol. Troll.

This Canada's Team narrative is so silly.

le calmar · #**1956** Posted **Apr 26, 2018, 2:22 PM**

Every year it seems that the one surviving Canadian team is always designated "Canada's Team". I agree that's silly, I don't care about the Jets. I will be cheering for Vegas and Nashville.

WhipperSnapper · #**1957** Posted **Apr 26, 2018, 3:02 PM**

The silly nationalistic marketing works. Anyways, I'm hopeful my watering hole will go back to regular programming with the Leafs now being eliminated.

When the Canucks went to the finals in 2011 they definitely did NOT have support from across the country.

And I am also cheering for Vegas and Nashville.
