I’m all for it if the officials want playoffs to have a focus solely on skill, but that’s not what the sport is today. The bruins won 2011 through goonery, the blues beat the fuck out of the bruins in 2019, and the panthers are taking notes from the lightnings previous wins. People need to remember which league they’re watching

Dude goes to one of his hated rivals subs to bitch and offer condolences and basically say “I hate you guys, but at least it would’ve been better to play and lose to you guys than Florida”.
Complete clown show, Leaf fans in complete shambles, this is embarrassing.

Does this person even watch hockey? They can keep focusing on their golf « skill », well keep on making a run at the cup. Losers on all fronts and it only makes it that much better for me.

For every one of these that you read or that are posted. just remember there is another fan from another team (including me) rooting for the Panthers this year. Many HNL fans out there know that Florida was the better team. The comment on ‘skilled play’ is laughable. The Leaf’s ‘Skilled Players’ who earn the big bucks could not do anything against the Panthers (besides a couple of goals from Nylander).

> Focus on skilled play.
That phrase sums up the problem with the Leafs right now. Skilled play is the table stakes, not the focus. Guess what you get when the focus is on skilled play — the All-Star Game. Anyone want to watch four rounds of that?

The funny thing is that the Bruins would’ve “gooned” the Leafs as well because they are a physical team too. Whenever any team does anything physical to the Leafs, their fans think it’s goon hockey because the Leafs themselves focus more on embellishing the hits they take rather than hitting back, while Matthews and Marner shrivel up and do fuckall when it matters.
You don’t see the Toronto players complaining about “goon hockey” because they know that it’s actually just part of the sport. They also know they can’t play it (or refuse to play it), and that’s why they are early playoff exits every year. Mitch Marner plays like he’d rather swing a golf club than finish a check. Bennett laid a huge (clean) hit on Tavares, their *captain*, and not a single leaf went in to defend him. If someone did that to Barkov, or even Zac Dalpe, there’d be three other Panthers jumping in. Maybe they’d take an extra penalty for it. But that’s what you have to do.

If you’re calling Florida a goon show, you’ll love playing with Bruins. the leg sweeper Marchand, Chara only left the team in 2019 and he still retired as a member in 2022, Frederic’s there. Don’t get me wrong I think they’re wonderful players. But c’mon you can’t call every team who initiates physical contact “a goon show” and diss all of their talent and hard work. That being said the last game was one of the few without almost no penalties. Even historically Flyers and Bruins were the two teams who originally started playing rough and made other teams to rebuild hence the enforcers became a crucial part of every team.
Leafs didn’t lose because Panthers were on goonery. For starters bad forechecking. 1-2-2 isn’t effective for playing against florida’s agressive neutral zone angling. I could name a few more things. Other than that leafs need someone to gather the team around, take the lead, put a lot of hardwork in, believe in theirselves. and that guy sure isn’t auston matthews. nobody in the team wants to take that responsibility it seems. Even in this post this guy’s saying they wanted to lose against Bruins instead of us. This is a problem. Mentality right there. That also gets to a lot of players’ heads. And to be fair, on an objective point of view leafs fans don’t deserve these soulless plays, no one does, especially after waiting for so long.
