Fire Babcock, pulls goalies without a controlled zone entry, doesn't play his stars, even when he's trailing the whole game, and is surprised they can't get going with no ice time, he's garbage too. Every Leaf choked tonight except Ennis, everyone but him deserves a portion of the blame here.

I don't think the Price model is the way to go.

I don't even like a team built around a high priced super goalie.

This is on Tavares.

This is on Matthews.

This is on Marner.

This is Nylander.

This is on Kadri.

They flamed out.

Andersen did what he could, but he didn't get any support.

Andersen can do better, the other guys flamed out, Babcock got out coached, entire team failure of epic proportions. If Tyler Ennis is your best player, you lose, who knew?

Forty million dollar power play.

Couldn't score in the regular season after the first week or two.

The Leafs power play never lived up to the hype.

They had their chances in this series.

Same as the regular season, a power play stocked with stars, couldn't score.

The offensive super team flamed out, simple as that.

Shit PP, Bad PK, No Offense and Soft Goaltending, not a great combo. Their defense was actually the least of their worries in this series.

Not that I'm blaming him solely, none the less, Marner carried this team all year.

Tavares is not that effective without Marner.

Marner just seemed to run out of gas after game one.

For the last six games Marner has been invisible. They're MVP just faded at the wrong time.

Did you even notice Marner in this game?

He did nothing. Totally invisible. Never heard his name called once.

Not saying it's his fault per se, none the less, he was the engine all year, but in the playoffs, he disappeared.

I noticed him a couple of times when they zoomed in on him after the whistle, but never during actual play.

He might even be hurt for all I know.

I mean he was there in game one, dominant, then he was never seen nor heard from again.

That smells like nursing an injury.

And I mean never seen nor heard from at all.

It was eerie how Marner completely disappeared in this series.

Haven't noticed him at all since game one.

In game one he was the same Marner that was carrying the team all year.

Then nothing. He went completely cold. And Tavares went with him.

Sure, Ansersen shits the bed, but if Marner had been Marner, it wouldn't have come down to that.

They had Boston on the mat last game. Couldn't score on the power play.

They had their chances in this game. Couldn't score on the power play.

The Marner quarterbacked power play, just went in the tank after game one.
