They could become tired. Complacent. Injured. Bob is 37. If the Leafs made the right choices, they could take advantage of all those factors.Yes, they had the golden opportunity in game three and chance to win the series, but they blown it.
Replace Tavares with Jenner and McBain. Replace Rielly with Myers. That’s a better DNA change than this bullshit they’re trying to pull now.
Well if Florida could play better, so could the Leafs. It goes both ways. The Leafs won the first two games because they played confident and executed on the PP.
This team is taking a huge step back and won’t have what it takes to take steps forward. UFAs won’t save them. They never have before, they probably never will.I remember the first two games, Bob let in all pucks were directed to net.
The Leafs could play better in game 5 and 7, but I doubt result would be different.
The next year the gap between these two team will be get even bigger, I agree with this.
For Leafs it is not enough to get better, but they need Florida become worse, which may not happen to my sorry.They set a record for most games played in a 3 year span.

Marner isn’t the solution, he’s been part of the problem.
You’re very, very wrong about that. Involved in all 3 GWG vs Florida and defensively held the 1st line in check. That’s a fact.
Yes, that is precisely what /s means.
But to answer your question, the Oilers made it to back to back Cup Finals because they’re in the shittiest division in the shittiest conference in the league. They also have two of the most clutch players in history, so he could bring that to Toronto and drag us there too.
Hard to go deep in the playoffs when you’re in a division with literal dynasties like Tampa and Florida. Our burden to bear.
Vegas and LA in that division is not that weak of a division.
Pretty sure if one had to bet, it’s that McDavid is tired of carrying the entire team on his back. If he leaves the Oilers, Vegas makes a lot of sense and he won’t have to do EVERYTHING by himself. He had great chemistry on that OT winner for Canada with Marner.
If they played better defense in Game 3 (which is what you get if you remove Tavares and Rielly and replace them with two-way 2C and 3C) they can win that game and the series.
They won 3 games. No matter how you want to describe it, they were closer than anybody else. And now they just blew it away.Yes, I can agree with this, but if Florida played better in the first two games the result can be different either.
There is a huge difference between to take team to game 7 and win the series, but Leafs had the chance in game 3 and they blew it.
It is possible they could win the whole series if it did not happen, but not guaranteed of course, knowing how Florida playing in elimination games.Well if Florida could play better, so could the Leafs.

We all knew, (except for you), that this year was going to be a step back while we wait for 97 to arrive July 1, 2026.
Edit: this is a /s
You must be joking, right? You think McDavid is going to leave a team he went to the Cup Final TWICE with to join this shit show of a team?
Better yet, why would he come to Toronto when he could also go to Vegas?
So no change.
Besides, next year has a better FA class.
Panthers will still have to dump salaryYes, because the UFA class has always won the Leafs Cups in the past.
You simply do not learn. Ever.
They can dump Rodrigues. They’ll be fine.
I mean word was that Marner wanted $14m to stay here but is willing to take $12m in Vegas where they also don’t have state tax – which pretty much equates to the tax difference between the two places.
Bettman is – and always has been – a lying prick. These are the areas with the lowest overall tax rates: Dallas, Seattle, Vegas, Nashville, Tampa Bay and Florida. Now a nice climate is hard to beat – but LA has a great climate and everyone isn’t clamouring to go there with one of the higher tax rates. Winning is important and that is likely why Nashville and Seattle aren’t attracting a ton of talent – but as much as I thought Trotz was a decent coach, he’s proving to be an inept GM; and now that Ron Francis is out in Seattle, let’s see if Jason Botterill can do much – but he didn’t impress anyone very much in Buffalo.
But if you can put together a winning team, attracting talent sure is a lot easier where the money goes 20% further.
It’s actually closer to 16.5 AAV in Toronto for 12 AAV in Vegas. 14 AAV in Toronto would have been a discount for Marner.
No surprise he didn’t go to California. He can visit from Vegas but he’s way better off in every way in Vegas. Good for him.
Wrong. Panthers are going to be the same and the Leafs took them to 7
Even the Leafs took them to game seven does not means they been almost as good as Panthers.
It is not for the first time the Leafs taking teams to game 7, but outcome is always the same.If they played better defense in Game 3 (which is what you get if you remove Tavares and Rielly and replace them with two-way 2C and 3C) they can win that game and the series.
