Bertuzzi > Bunting
Domi > Kerfoot
Reaves > Ashton-Reese
Benoit > Holl

Treliving is making an impact in these playoffs for the Leafs.
Game 1 thoughts:
- Keefe outcoached
- Jarnkrok relied on too much
- Robertson can’t play
- Samsonov needs to fight for pucks
- Bruins have depth
- Leafs nicely shutdown Bruins stars
- Keep playing physical, watch dives
- Need better special teams
- The series isn’t over
Winning 1 playoff series with these players since 2018 is unacceptable.
Matthews $13,250,000
Nylander $11,500,000
Tavares $11,000,000
Marner $10,903,000
Rielly $7,500,000
Social media followers of Canadian NHL Teams:

Habs - 1.6M
Canucks - 1.1M
Oilers - 0.98M
Flames - 0.69M
Jets - 0.62M

Looks like the Leafs are not only Canada’s team but also social media’s too.
Toronto = Centre of the Hockey Universe.

Game 2 thoughts:
- fantastic road game and win
- Bruins are divers and whiners
- Missing threat from point
- Special Teams still a mess
- 34 and 91 step up big time
- 4th line is a force
- 88 is missed
- 16 is a liability
- Sammy made key saves, keeps net
- We have a series!
What a night last night:
- Leafs beat the Habs
- Matthews scores…again
- Reaves destroys a Habs player…again
- Habs fans crying
- Sens fans crying
- Sens fans learn about hypocrisy.
Dewar is out and Robertson stays.
F off Keefe.
Keep the 4th line intact. Replace Robertson for Nylander. And score on the PP.
I’ll be glad when the Leafs have a new coach next season.

The NHL needs a losers bracket.
Once a team is officially eliminated, they enter a bracket and the team with the most wins/points gets 1st overall.
This will eliminate tanking, bring entertainment to fans and give the league some integrity.
Mitch Marner is an elite hockey player. But he needs to grow up.
It’s time he stops feuding with the media and fans and starts focusing on the teams’s goal…to win a Stanley Cup.
The Leafs added two physical defencemen and a gritty depth forward while keeping their top prospects and 1st round pick.
That’s smart management and a win.
Reading between the lines of the Leafs presser, here’s the status of the Leafs Core Five:
Matthews - stays
Marner - gone
Nylander - stays
Reilly - gone
Tavares - stays
And Berube will be the coach.
Joel Edmundson is the type of defenceman that win battles for their team in the playoffs.
The front of the Leafs net just got nastier at just the right time.
This loss is on Keefe.
You have a wounded division rival and you decide to play your wounded goalie in an unfavourable setting.
The players knew it too.
5 games for Morgan Rielly is a joke.
The NHL usually suspends based on the severity of the injured player - Ridly Greig was unharmed.
Another fail by the NHL DoPS.
Thank you Zach Hyman and Frederik Andersen - The Leafs regular season success would not be the same without your enormous contributions.
All the best in your new environments.
The Florida Panthers have a disappointing playoffs last season, make a major trade in the offseason to change up the team and are now in the Cup Final.
Take note Shanny.
So the Oilers are on a heater after they fired their coach, whom had a .643 regular season record and .500 playoff record with a conference finals appearance…yet the Leafs can’t fire Keefe.
Pull the trigger Treliving.
