I slept normal.
Fortunately i was not invested in this team this year. Didnt even watch game 5 or 7, watched a bit of game 6.With Matthews as captain, marner as an A, i simply dont expect much from this team.
They’ve traded away 1st rounders like crazy, one for a 3rd line center.
Team is screwed for a while. Imo. ~FakepartofmeWatched all 82 games, but was not emotionally engaged like before.
With every year, watching the same outcome, emotions slowly disappeared.
But last game I felt, not gonna lie.
Good thing it is Holidays today and no need to work.
Team is screwed, I knew it for a while. You can’t patch roster if you don’t have a core to build around.
Dubas and Shnahan screw it completely by giving huge contracts to wrong players.
Willy contract is bad too, he is not worth that much with such level of defense. This is not even Kessel level.The boys don’t hate to lose. No dogs. And don’t kid yourselves – 16 is WALKING AWAY from this team.
Look up ‘organizational failure’ in a sports dictionary and you’ll see the Shanahan era Leafs as the first entry.
~fifty mission capI figure Shanahan is gone, Treliving and Berube are safe.
Marner is gone. He has no supporters left here. The crowd booed him any time he touched the puck at the end of the game. Trade him at the draft for whatever paltry picks you can fetch from an interested team, or participate in a sign & trade for him to get his 8th year. Let him go somewhere else and vanish when the going gets tough.
Tavares played well enough to return, but not well enough to warrant even $7m on his next deal. Even losing Marner and JT makes you wonder if the addition of toughness would really alter this group very much.
Rielly had moments when the physicality wasn’t that amped up, but once Florida started to forecheck, he wilted and reverted to missing pucks, losing battles and not physically engaging on the boards where it was required. In the end he contributed little and cost more. I’d try and move him. Buying him out would be just too long (10 years).
I wouldn’t trade Matthews at his lowest value and I’m expecting he was playing hurt all season; while he was almost a P/G in the playoffs he was not himself and was too infrequently not an asset.
I don’t know what happened to Willy either. He just vanished and didn’t engage way too often. It was enigma-Willy – playing when he felt like it.
On the plus side there were bright spots other than the D and G – Obviously Knies, but the lesser sung guys like Lorentz, Laughton, Pacioretty and at times Holmberg were all pretty good. Kampf, Jarnkrok and Robertson might be done as Leafs.
An honest assessment? They made it further than they have under Matthews – not far enough obviously – but there’s progress there. They need toughness in the forwards and from the forwards. Still too many guys who are easily pushed around and cowed. It’s disappointing and their ability to not compete at critical times was probably more obvious this year than any other year. And this under a coach who preaches competitiveness more than the last one. I would imagine they need to figure out where that rot is and weed it out.

Team is screwed for a while. Imo – FakeSame. I don’t get too invested in shit like sports. I love hockey and I love my teams, but my mood is not tied to my team in any way.
Life goes on. Sure, I’d love it if the Leafs advanced last night. I’m not gonna lose sleep over it though.
Now I just wanna see McJesus teabag the shit out of the competition. Good thing the Oilers don’t have goaltending, or the whole league would be fucked watching McDavid win 10 championships in a row.
Was not able to sleep last night, feels empty, angry and disappointed.
It takes couple of days to recover from such events.
But tomorrow will be another day and pain will go away.
Enjoy the Summer Leafs Nation

Team is screwed for a while. ImoI went peek in on HB.
Highlights :
1) Ek posting in the Leafs thread and catering to the Leafs in an effort to stop the slow bleed out of users to HHS.
2) Spatso appeared.
3) Much gnashing of teeth and tearing of robes.
4) Lots of proposed fixes that won’t happen : sign Bennett, bring back Kadri, etc.
5) Political comments flowing freely.
In other words, same old shit.
It gives me no joy to say this : I am now backing McJesus and the Oil. But only until these playoffs are done.
Fuck the other three crackhead teams. Dallas and Florida are trash, and I don’t give one fuck about Carolina.
If Edmonton had a goalie, they’d be a lock.
It’s amazing how the Oilers keep pissing away the prime years of the best player on the planet.

Goaltending is not where the Leafs need to improve
G is set for next year
D is basically set for next yearThey will have $25 mil available.
Knies gets a raise
Resign Tavares on Team friendly deal
Resign Holmberg(I would not have said this before the playoffs)
Trade Kampf, Jarncock, Reaves (Free up 4 mil)
If you can find a trade for Rielly yo do it.
I am 50/50 on trading Domi
Use some of the Marlies that they clearly are not going to promorte as trade capital (Niemela\Kokkonen..ect)Bring in some heavy players.
I would take a run at Ekblad if he makes it to UFA..
