if you’re a leader on this team and you make money on this team then you’re accountable to the media it’s not Noah Gregor’s job it’s not David comp’s job no offense to them no nobody really cares what they have to say anyway yeah I was going to ask were their microphones in their face I’m sure they wasn’t because here’s the thing the Leafs don’t allow you in the dressing room the way they used to now they bring them out hey uh hey David uh you finally scored after like 50 minutes uh why did ke decide to immediately put you on the ice we’ll get we’ll get to that and I just so I want to be out I want to be out front of this I am completely so disappointed in both of those two players for not coming out and taking accountability for the team that they are part of the core five of now because it really is a core five Adam I mean they they’re probably uh you know sick of of saying it so what what they could have done and like the Leafs have the budget to have done this what they could have done is instead of uh having to say any words at all into a microphone just hold an iPad in front of your face with every end of season press conference you’ve done since 2017 it’s the same a compilation getting increasingly more depressed but also saying the exact same damn thing Jesse I just sent you a quote and it’s uh a video quote uh it’s on text do you mind bring yeah the Sheldon ke one yeah is that we bring this not the one s cuz this not with the graphics on it that Network oh was there Graphics let’s do this one apologies yeah here we go um Mitch Marner has been stealing money from from the Toronto we’re getting into the Mitch Mar thing later but I wanted to I need to we’re talking about him not talking to the media or we talking about that or we doing ke we we will we’ll we’re talking to the media right now we’ll get into the performances and the game but I I wanted to set the tone because Keith got out and talked in front of the microphone sure Matthews got out and talked in front of the microphone Matthews again looking like a character from Corpse R he looks like he’s going to die out he’s exhausted D we’re going to find out something is horribly wrong with that guy the the the the tone of his uh of like the skin under his eyes he looks palid he looks like he’s lost weight too like a lot of weight for the guy nander spoke tarz spoke Matthew spoke Kei probably spoke for his last time as the head coach oh yeah for your team’s perspective what was the biggest challenge generating offense W it’s I mean they’re a very structured team you know they’re they do a very good job to the neutral zone and they protect their net as well uh or better than most most any team in the NHL and there was they were content to do that you know they were content to do that it’s you know it’s it’s very evident teams play the least they they they they set up the game for the Leafs to beat themselves and uh what a fake to uh I thought we did that in game three and four we beat oursel with how we played at home he’s right I thought in games one and two oh parts of one but um parts of one were like three and four but game two certainly and five and six the way we play that’s that’s a way that can win um and and did win you know three of the games in this series uh and didn’t beat herself what does he mean by that for a second here what does he mean by if you said in there Steve you agree with what his summation of it was especially in games three and four and I think Leaf fans on the whole get that feeling and have had that feeling for a better part of a decade but couldn’t necessarily always put it into words what does he mean they I I mean the Leafs took a lot of penalties they didn’t get very many saves but one thing that I’ve said from game one of the series and I said from the beginning a game seven too game one of the series I remember being like Simone benois has had a lot of the puck like offensively and I think it’s because like it’s nothing against him like he was making the right play at the time but it’s like the Bruins are funneling it to him and they’re letting him have it game seven the same thing happened and then the Bruins didn’t give up their Zone never never gave up the you know they made life very difficult in the neutral zone never gave up their blue line but when they did it was always just huging the wall and it’s like handed off to tarus especially on the power play hugging the wall and it just felt like the leaves feel nice and comfortable and nice and hugged in tight playing on the perimeter and the Bruins were like you go ahead buddy you go right ahead we’re GNA we’re going to let you have the puck your possession numbers are going to look really good like time with the puck in the offensive zone it’s going to look good it’s going to look like you’re in and then your Advanced stats staff might say keep doing it I don’t I don’t think no no no and and I will say this the like analytic staff for competent NHL teams know that that’s all [ __ ] they know that that’s all Bullit which is why you should pay you should be careful with the type of stats that are publicly available because they’re so based on things like that and they they don’t tell you anything they really don’t tell you much it’s it’s important to have the information but um it’s it’s a gift to explain it and you know just in conversations I’ve had with Team staffs and you can be like oh it’s Steve dangle he does oh okay whatever you got to tell yourself I’ve spoken to these people um but it it takes takes a really competent smart team to be able to explain it lefes have a good staff like they know that that’s all [ __ ] and what what I see in Sheldon Keefe’s face there I know a lot of people want this guy fired um I see a frustrated guy who’s like I’ve told them over and over and over and over and over and over and over again I’ve told them over and over again get pucks to the net get to the front of the net the amount of times in this series the Leafs had the puck in the corners or behind the net or along the half wall and there’s no one in front for the person with the thing do me standing there with the puck like buer no the only guy on the team who was consistently in front of the net trying falling over himself hilariously God love him and I hope he stays I doubt he does Tyler bruzi every game he’s fighting like a like a he he’s like he’s like if they took Michael pizetta and they were like what if he was an Allstar like yeah like just yeah a rabbit animal he’s obviously got a lot more highend there um but just a level of [ __ ] it to his game that you need in these situations and he was good for the leaves he had four points he had four points and he also got into Brad Marian’s face a lot that’s very valuable really helped neutralize him um when he wasn’t in the Box um helped neutralize a lot of guys guys um he softened the Bruins up pretty nice for for Florida um a few guys did but Jim Montgomery and the Bruins were content to just you go ahead buddies you guys handle it along the perimeter how many times did the Leafs throw it into the slot and they got a rebound and it went in never how many times do got one DOI in game two DOI got one I remember that DOI in game two I think that’s it m the rest of them were off thead I think that’s it well and and like what are the ones off the rush tarus goes screw it I’ll do it myself in overtime you had the setup from Mar Den Mar Den which is a miraculous play that you’re going to get once or twice a series and you get three neander goals that way I think well there okay so there was neander last night there was a breakaway from neander and uh neander scored by floating it on and it goes in off a knee Jesse Yeah there’s a tweet you had about the amount of goals scored I I promise you we’re going to get into breaking up the game but you here I just I just want to put a bow on the Shel Shel stuff opion on that too yeah just because that this is just a wonderful tweet it’s very funny and I think it’s a good analysis of the Leafs from someone who didn’t have a dog in the fight in this series uh from japer rink they cover the Washington Capitals regarding kei’s quote um besides this being in the just fire me Hall of Fame which is a great opening to a tweet besides this being in the just fire me Hall of Fame it speaks to what I’ve been saying re coaching forever you can win a ton of regular season games with high-end Talent Advantage because teams aren’t planning uh game planning you much playoffs are different very Buro caps for

Love having a coach that continuously puts the 4th line out right after a Leafs goal, killing the momentum 👏
Exactly Steve so many missed opportunities in front or around the goal, that did not get taken advantage of. So frustrating to watch.
Do you think Keefe will be around long enough to welcome Craig Berube as new coach? 🙂
Bro what yall said about matthews wtffff thats wild lol
Gone:
Shanaplan
Keefe
Samsonov
Marner
Tavares
Keefe should be gone
Of course Leafs will disallow media in the locker room. Canadian media are lunatics on hockey players. You’re just as crazy as the media of Hollywood! Gotta stick a camera in their face everywhere where they go.
IF keefe does not have an interview, or Shanahan, They are gone, for now. Waiting for the chips to fall. Supposedly tomorrow. Can not believe that you guys are not up to date
I'm a guy from the Soo, so I've watched the Dubas-Keefe combo since its early iteration. They had stacked teams with "elite" talent that underperformed in the playoffs.
Puck possession means nothing if you don't generate scoring opps and are willing to drive the net and take a beating.
Steve is dead on. So frustrating watching the Leafs in Game 5 passing the puck around the perimeter with the Bruins content to let them do that. Aside from Bertuzzi and maybe Knies, the Leafs don't have a gritty, heavier element to their playoff game.
I think teams lick their chops at the opportunity to play Toronto in the first round. Treliving has a great opp to rebuild this roster on the fly.
The bruins attack the weakest side with every line and they play the puck to the opposing teams worst players
If only the leafs had a guy like Zack Hyman, he’s been racking up the goals this year by going to the front of the net! 😂
If you have lots of talent and it doesn't work………….Fbomb Keefe is the bigger issue……….should have been canned 3 years ago.
un-be-leaf-able
100% if woll played we wouldve won 1-0….we had too many bad luck this series i cant believe it especially with injuries
Woll should of played the whole game
Marner is gone! I better not see his face in the city
he gone
"If you're a leader on this team, if you make money on this team, you're accountable to the media."
I would agree. I think it's kind of funny that there are a lot of angry or disappointed Leaf fans who would agree in this moment, but then will go on to cheer the likes of Marshawn Lynch when he was doing his "I'm only here so I don't get fined" schtick.
If I’m the leafs I trade Marner and get jay woodcroft as the new coach
Coach can’t play… Players can play, but didn’t. Marner is in a league all his own. Hope Flyers are stupid enough to take him
Mitch God Marner
When the coach says the team beats itself, that's an admission by the coach that he has no idea how to coach.
Im a Kings fan and feel like we are a disaster. I go to Toronto channels to feel better.
Leafs are not built for the playoffs. Plus, it took too many games for Keefe to get the Leafs to skate as fast as Boston was doing to the Leafs.
Keefe knows he’s toast,no matter what he says,so why not just be honest about this team?
You can put together the same compilation of your own programs for the past 4 years. Same. Same same.
We pray Sheldon will be gone.
Marner just decided to give up while back checking in OT – to give the Bruins the winning goal. The Core 4 are playoff disappointments. 😀 Laine, Sammy and Matthews are all under stress. It would help just to move Matthews onto the wing – where he has a chance to be an elite winger.
Why didn't Marner or Rielly speak to the media? It's because those two will never go into the tough areas on the ice or in the media scrum…
matthew knies worked his ass off this series. sad this is never pointed out.
Listen, I'm more of a American football fan, that being said, it sounds like the leafs need to learn from American Football. Please, let me explain, their is a type of football play called a Blitz. That is, defense rushes through the line and attacking the quarter back. That being, repeatedly hitting the quarter back over and over agian. It seems like to me, as a dumb yank, that the leafs need to learn to blitz. That being, repeatedly punch through the lines and just keep punishing the goalie with shot after shot after shot. However, that's just me.
Hello from Montreal. I'm only here to say, while this running joke was funny for a while, for us in Montreal i mean, now it's sad. I'm truly sorry for the Leafs. Wish you strength and clarity this summer.
The Leafs are an elite girls ringette team.
..Mathews trying for 70 when obviously not 100% and limping into the playoffs doomed the team..Mitch has to go and the person who decided 70 was more imporant than the Bruins needs to go also..
I'm sorry, but I have to say this. It's been a little bit fishy how the leaves have been a huge a** Rollercoaster up-and-down this year, a huge rollercoaster through this playoffs of round one exiting game 7. Is it kind of fishy that wall gets injured last minute before game 7 Stars because he looked completely fine. He wasn't injured. They just made sure something happen. There's gonna be something coming. A huge storm coming in Toronto and s***'s going down. We're gonna end up seeing Sheldon, Keith off to Pittsburgh to go coach for daddy. Dubois, we already know that's gonna happen. And then we're gonna have Pittsburgh. Offer a trade for mariner, which is that's gonna go through. Because you know what we already know. They're gonna offer first round picks and something else Austin matthews Has been hanging out with Justin Bieber too much and maybe caught Justin bieber's disease because his playing has gone so down since the playoffs And the other thing is Sammy has to go We need an actual good Goalie
Maybe if their defense took pressure off their forwards?
