This is twice now that the Leafs have been absolutely humiliated by Boston in a game 7. As much as I am trying to remain objective and dispassionate, I can't really look past that.

And they refuse to change.  The leafs are completely ok with mediocre play and actually encourage it.  Goaltending, backchecking and defense, all incredibly mediocre. And yet, no changes.  Leafs basically gave up on this season the day they signed polak to a contract.
 
Really sucks that Matthews couldn't bury one in the first half of the game when he was absolutely flying. Went down a level in the 3rd.

Pretty disappointing playoffs overall. He was shut down.

This was not a successful season. They didn?t build on last season in any regard.  No home ice in the first round, and they lose.

The whole team seemed to drop a level in the 3rd (late 2nd, even).
 
Kapanen, Johnsson, and Dermott were bottom-3 in ice-time tonight. Kappy played under 10 minutes. Can't imagine we'll see that next year in the playoffs.

ROFL, yeah, Shanahan is totally like, "ok guys, let's go be mediocre".

Some of the stuff I've seen written here in the last few minutes is really quite pathetic.

You can't go 9+ minutes without a shot with a 1-goal lead to start the 3rd.  That's inexcusable.

Nope. This isn't on any player in particular. This is a team failure.

Yeah.  Gardiner and Andersen definitely fell apart but the whole team just quit playing.

There's a lot of work to do over the summer.  Matthews needs to commit himself to never have a playoff series like this again.  He just didn't get it done.  Nylander too was way too late in bringing it.
 
Time for Shanahan, Lou whoever is in charge to make some changes. Team has had so many deficiencies all year never mind last 2 years and they haven't addressed it. Utter BS. Babcock with some idiotic lineup decisions all year. Team gets manhandled a lot because they don't have many of those type of players to come back and do the same thing. Can't build a team strictly on offensive skill and crappy defensive play. Upper brass needs to realize that. I'm sure they have a plan but no excuse not to add something after last year. What are we paying Lou for? If basically training Dubas then fine but he hasn't helped this team take a leap forward. You can say whatever you want about the regular season. It doesn't mean s**t when you get to the playoffs.

Great coaching by the genius, the guys that are actually playing well, don't play them much
