Like I don't blame Dubas, I don't blame Babcock.

This is all on the players,

They are pampered prima donnas who choke at home because the media blows sunshine up their asses.

That has always been the downfall of the Loafs, Harold Ballard notwithstanding.
Media spotlight pumping up the ego's of the Leafs stars has been an issue for a damn long time, it's true, it's damn true.

It's like Dubas could tweak it a bit, make an upgrade here and there, but he can't change the core.

Tavares is choking. Matthews is choking. Marner is choking. Nylander is so soft he's useless.

It's not Hainsey. It's not Zaitsev. It's not Babcock.

It's the media pampered "superstars" who are flailing here.

Moreover I don't think this Loafs team has a better chance of beating Columbus than they would Tampa.

The soft as butter Loafs don't match up well against heavy and gritty Columbus.

So even if they squeak by Boston, I don't think this pampered prima donna team would get past lunch box Columbus anyways.

The Loafs are like Rocky III

They're pampered. They're soft. They're lazy. They have a false sense of security.

Celebrity players on the cover of GQ magazine. Constant sunshine blown up their asses.

Any Clubber Lang team can take them, anytime.

I think this Loafs team will have to get humiliated several times more before they get sick of that and the cover of GQ magazine.

They could get there, but I think they need to get kicked in the teeth a few times more.

That is also my assessment.

You don't play desperate until you get sick of losing, this pampered prima donna team just ain't there yet.

This is why St. Louberta won.

They are aging out.

The window is closing.

The owner is not happy.

They were so pathetic they were in last place in January.

They just got sick of it, and started scratching and clawing with their fingernails.

Media pampered Winnipeg simply could not match their desperation.

Winnipeg is no Israel Adesanya, that's for damn sure. When they ran into Kelvin Gastelum aka St. Louberta, they got finished. Side note, frontrunner for fight of the year, right thur.
