We obviously don't get to see what goes on behind the scenes, in the locker room...but I've had the feeling that giving the "C" to Matthews was more about trying to push him to another level rather than being based on him being a leader. Probably unfair to judge from the outside but he just...

This "core" group has repeatedly shown that it cannot come through when it really matters. I would argue that most of the role or bottom six players have as well. I mean, Jarnkrok now has a blistering 5 goals in 105 playoff games. Lorentz has 2 in 45. McMann is well on his way to similar...

2016 seems so long ago now. All the excitement and optimism...I guess there's not much more to say until some changes are made. I truly believe anything and everything should be on the table, including Matthews.

can these last 3 minutes go any slower

Everything should be on the table.

I think you can look at bringing back Tavares if he signs a real team friendly deal. Marner though, at $13 million...I'd rather take my chances going in another direction. Maybe having to scrap to just make the playoffs would be good for the team. I don't know at this point.

correction...we had a pulse. sigh.

we have a pulse...

I'm just watching to see who (if anyone) has a pulse at this point.

It's all intertwined and related. Those 4 forwards take up so much cap space (plus Rielly) that they have to skimp everywhere else. Plus they've drafted poorly and traded prospects and picks and that leaves us where we are today. It's not lazy...it's the truth. BTW, the Leaf depth _has_...

All this arguing about depth has some validity, but the reason the Leaf depth sucks is because they are paying 4 forwards over half the salary cap. You only do that if those 4 players are good enough to offset the shortcomings elsewhere in the lineup. Are they? Regular season warriors but big...

At least this game is leaving no doubt about what needs to happen. If they were to lose 2-1 in OT you could argue they're "close". This though, not so much.

$22 million should be able to buy all the depth they need

This game could wind up worse than game 5 at this rate.

Narrative intact.

Well...

oof that looks bad

As long as they don't call shit penalties on the Leafs.

alright, settling down now with some good chances

Survival mode on. Geez.
