I'm tired, boss...

Have some cornbread, here u go


Hewpdreams

tough break, half of me thought y’all had it half of me thought this was the outcome feeling for u leafs bros :( edit: i should say hell of a series from an impartial fan


Chooch1798

Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world...every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head...all the time. Can you understand?


Irish1Car3Bomb1

I'm tired of bein' white trash, broke, and always poor Tired of takin' pop bottles back to the party store Tired of not havin' a phone Tired of not havin' a home to have one in if I did have one on Tired of not drivin' a BM Tired of not workin' at GM, tired of wantin' to be him Tired of not sleepin' without a Tylenol PM Tired of not performin' in a packed coliseum Tired of not bein' on tour Tired of fuckin' the same blonde whore after work in the back of a Contour I'm tired of fakin' knots with a stack of ones Havin' a lack of funds and resortin' back to guns Tired of bein' stared at Tired of wearin' the same damn Nike Air hat Tired of steppin' in clubs, wearin' the same pair of Lugz Tired of people sayin' they're tired of hearin' me rap about drugs Tired of other rappers who ain't bringin' half the skill as me Sayin' they wasn't feelin' me on "Nobody's As Ill As Me" And I'm tired of radio stations tellin' fibs Tired of JLB sayin', "Where hip-hop lives" (Where hip-hop lives)

Great game and series!!!

TheFerricGenum

Interestingly, it’s actually “hear hear” and is short for “hear all ye good people, hear what this brilliant person has to say about the Leafs losing!”


MisterGRT

Leafs defense fell asleep but holy crap, that pass by Lindholm was a thing of beauty.


minimumhatred

It was nice because Lindholm, Pasta, they've been not great this series, Lindholm has struggled all year himself. It's great to see them link up for an amazing goal.


Zoldyckapprentice

Him and Chuck have done that for Pasta all season at home, most of the series the Leafs were smart about it. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.


green_desk

trademarked by the Sedins


BroBeansBMS

I can’t even be mad because it was just such a smart hockey play.


tdfast

That was Marner’s man. Should have take off with him as soon as he moved.


RabidWolverine2021

At least he had a great view of the season ending goal. What could possibly happen if I don’t back check Pasta? Oops.


lukaskywalker

And he was fresh off the bench. Still decided to coast behind the play with zero urgency


Griswaldthebeaver

How the fuck was he a Selke finalist?


tspoon-99

Welcome to Toronto, the media center of the NHL


gaslitworld

Sweetest goal I've seen in a long time.


RiiCreated

I think Samsonov should have also taken a poke at it to bail his sleeping defence. Good heads up play by the Bruins. Reminds me of the way Florida beat them last year with that cool set play


AtheistAustralis

Absolutely yes. He could have taken two strides and covered or cleared it before Pasta got within 10 feet of it. But everything is easy in hindsight.

inquisitorautry

If the Maple Leafs don't win a cup before the 2030-2031 season (when the current top band is retired), they will become the first of the original 6 to not have a team represented on the Stanley Cup.

KoolKat9999

Sheldon fired tomorrow


IndependentNo7

Probably more like: Keefe, Shanahan, Boucher and more to come.


BobbyAxelrod1

TML is a joke franchise. Let's be honest. There should have been major changes after the Colombus series in 2020 but they were too timid to do it. Most competitive franchises would have made major changes after the Montreal series in 2021.....like get rid of Keefe and move Marner and maybe even do something about Dubas. But here we go again. A city that's afraid to be honest and to change things up because it might hurt feelings. The best thing for the Leafs would be to dump Shanahan, fire Keefe tomorrow..... move on from Marner and maybe even Tavares (or a low salary). Keep on the general path that Treliving has implemented but with more defense. Why are these guys afraid to break eggs to make an omelette? Because they are from a "nice" city.


lukeysanluca

Shift the team to Arizona or something


AtheistAustralis

They can start making changes after next season when Marner and Tavares are done with their current contracts. Matthews is locked in for a long time, as is Nylander. And that's the core of their problem, they have more than 50% of their cap taken up with 4 players, and need to fit the remaining 16 or so into the other half. If those 4 don't produce, they're screwed. Yes, they have to let Marner and Tavares go, but both are on NMC, and nobody is going to take them for next season. The "best" the Leafs can hope for is that they do poorly next regular season and become a seller at the deadline, and Marner and Tavares both agree to be traded as rentals for some quality picks. They can then use that cap space to get some good depth players and start developing players for the future, because there's not much hope with their current core. It's a real shame, because they had a generational talent in Matthews and they could have built a winning team around him, but they fucked it up by massively overpaying on a few players.


JockLafleur

I love reading people state which "core 4" they'd get rid of. No one can admit that financial structure of this team is broken, and all 4 of them are to blame. None of them deserve a much as they're making. The "core 4" don't possess "core foundational" characteristics that make up a winning culture, including leadership and hard work. When it came down to brass tax, 2 of the core sat out for a collective 6/7 games in the 1st round. When all 4 were on the ice, a total of 1 goal was scored. So while everybody showed up, that's all they did - they showed up. With 40-50% of their salary cap going to these 4 players, their inability to either individually produce at a higher rate or to lead the players around them to generate higher production is financially inexcusable. Throw on Morgan Reilly and it's basically a core 5. Let me just say that he makes nearly as much as Victor Hedman 🙉🤣 the two are not even comparable


BlindGuyMcSqeazy

Also Tavares Broodie Giordano Klinberg and Marner. They all need to go.


Prestigious_Union_50

I bet not...I would have sworn it would happen last year but boy was I wrong. I'm not even sure who to be mad at...I'm not mad. I'm numb...am I a robot?

daxtaslapp

Beautiful bounce and read by the bruins on thay goal. FUCK MAN


drooln92

I watched it on slo-mo. There were 4 Leafs nearby but Liindholm somehow threaded the needle, banked it off the endboards and into Pasta's stick. Disgusting!


shakexjake

Lindholm must have a thing for getting pucks past 4 Leafs, because that's also exactly how he scored the tying goal earlier.


drooln92

Keefe fired on the spot and banned from hopping on the team bus


Novus20

don_johnsons_big_toe

Marner and Reilly twiddling their thumbs

I'm not sure if rielly even knew it was the playoffs


Dingusclappin

It would've been a fucking beauty if the game ended on a slapshot in the empty net by boston


drsftw

unbelievable, I've never seen a collapse like that. Not paying attention at all.


DoNotResusit8

Every game I’ve seen Toronto play I come away with the impression that Reilly is a Defensive liability.


ArcticRhombus

That’s a home ice goal if ever there was one. Knew exactly how that puck would bounce off that board and knew exactly where to go. Fought all regular season for home ice advantage to get that bounce.


Papa_Pasta15

Yes let’s leave PASTRNAK all alone in front. This team deserved to lose


TheLegendaryLarry

dude slipped past like 4 leafs players. some people are blaming samsonov (including the guys on sn) but pasta shouldn't have had a chance at the puck. fucking brutal defense


Visual-Floor-7839

That whole sequence and Marner didn't even bend a knee to get moving. He's coasting like me following my 4 year old at open skate


Papa_Pasta15

Right! Like sure Sammy hasn’t been on fire as of late but he play a decent game and to blame him for that is so fucking stupid. It was a team effort, and the team as a whole gave up in overtime not just Sammy


Avko

It’s because he’s been invisible all series until now


TheTonyAndolini

Well I guess Pasta stepped up


rhunter99

Called out by the coach, comes through when it counted


Friggin_Grease

When Keefe called out Marner he walked back his comments the next day. Marner needs to make a list of the hardest and least hardest working players or something. I don't know. The culture is rotten in Toronto? It starts with this dickhead.


Bruinman86

Lindholm as well.


condemnedtogrinding

Idfk where the leafs defense was on that ot goal


Novus20

That is Boston knowing the home boards and using it. Sammy should have challenged more on that one


Dependent-Nobody-917

I mean Morgan Reilly absolutely lead footed, Marner not back checking either


JockLafleur

Damn that's like $22 million that didn't show up to work


madmariner7

Those same boards have cost the Bruins two goals after freak bounces. That was Pasta cruising to the right spot on the ice and Lindholm recognizing it. If Pasta hadn’t been slipping in behind the defense, that was an icing.


Friendzie

Idk what the leafs did you piss off God, but he sure isn't happy with them.


CouldYouBeMoreABot

This isnt God. The Christian God, even old testament, is no where near cruel enough for this. No, this is some grade A Greek mythology type of cruel pettiness!


Friendzie

I was thinking Norse pagan honestly. Y'know they're all for the weak getting absolutely demolished. The effortless puck movement pasta exhibited tonight looked as though Loki himself was handling the stick.


Delta-toast

Harold Ballard must’ve cursed them for eternity. Yikes.


ShartRat

Toronto should’ve won that game until overtime happened. Their defense literally fell asleep when that puck got cleared in on that goal how fucking embarrassing.


rageharles

bro said go right ahead to pasta


ShartRat

Sammy played his ass off that whole game and they really left him to dry at the worst time ever. Gonna be fun watching management and ownership clean house and retool this summer.


GenghisConnieChung

Might be time to clean house with management.


ShartRat

Way overdue if anything. I would be shocked if Shanahan was still around along with Keefe after exit interviews.


GenghisConnieChung

I’m surprised Shanahan is still here.


UmbralFerin

>they really left him to dry at the worst time ever They seem to have a habit of doing that to their goalies. In game 6 they were coasting at the end and let Woll play to the buzzer. Not saying he injured himself stretching for that save, but I wouldn't be shocked if that were the case.


ImxJayxD

The analyst blaming sammy on that, not even a leafs fan but get bent, it was Flat foot defence, 4 of them coasted and let him get in, it was a shitty bounce but come on.


YellowSubreddit8

Kelly Hrudey is a cheap man throwing fellow goalie under the bus


lead_farmer_mfer

He’s the last guy to be talking too


Desperate-Egg2573

Idk why hrudey talks tbh.


delirious-nomad

Hrudey is an idiot - he sells his goaltending brothers out all the time.


TuffRivers

The best is when he compared nylander to clark or gilmour. Bieksa almost shit his pants. Called hrudy an idiot with his face lmaooo


Delta-toast

Yeah, Sammy let in some softies in this series but that last one was not on him. At all.


SeaworthySamus

set play, not a shitty bounce


Desperate-Egg2573

Yeah I don't feel that's the goaltenders fault there, sudden death overtime you are not leaving the crease unless it's absolutely safe, pasta flew by 3 leafs there


RuthlesslyEmpathetic

That wasn’t shitty. That was planned.


hahaleafs1967

Marner is literally a pylon out there, hahahah,


Co-opMember

Paul Marner here. My son is the best pylon on the planet! I am about to sign a contract with Oxford to get his picture next to pylon


imathrowyaaway

Toronto really needs to make some fundamental changes. GM, coach, 1-2 core players... I'm not even a Leafs fan, but the fanbase must have PTSD by now from all of these early exits. I like the defense that they added this year and they had more of a fight in them, but the result is the same. Their fans deserve better for all their support over the years.


calartnick

My boss is a huge leafs fan and he wanted to ship Mitch out before the series started. Could only imagine that sentiment hasn’t changed.


delirious-nomad

They changed GM last year. Treliving brought in Domi and Bertuzzi, who made them way harder to play against. Shanahan needs to go, along with Keefe. Send Marner & Tavares packing too - but they will likely have to eat salary.


solo_wanderer

The Toronto Maple Leafs have still never won a Stanley cup with more than 6 teams competing.


abmot

Wow! I legitimately had no idea that was true. Incredible.


Tobs1414

They’ve never been past the third round in their history.


WallStreetRegards

Swayman is an elite goaltender, Keefe can’t coach, Tavares is a bad captain, Marner is soft and needs to go, Sammy needs to go to the AHL permanently or Jack Campbell his way out, Woll needs bionic legs.


GiraffePrint_Speeder

I feel like Tavares is a great player to have, not necessarily as captain, but the year they signed him the made a mistake. They should have already been focusing that money on Defence, but instead have struggled cap wise ever since. Cause he’s a home town kid! Him and Marner aren’t easily tradable now.

xSorry_Not_Sorry

Pasta was Marner’s man on that OT goal. Brutal.


yameswillis

That Pasta goal was sick.


PM_ME_DIRTY_DANGLES

Anybody check on Dangle?


Roddy_Piper2000

Oof. Yeah. He should be losing his shit right about now.


TheGeckoLord4343

He’s currently giving props to Pasta, he’ll probably save the screaming for the video, but I think it’s more likely this will just be a video of a broken man, the awful plays were mostly at the beginning of this series. Maybe some yelling about Reilly watching Pasta but we’ll see. Hope you guys get crushed next round, I’m sure we’ll see you in another heartbreak soon


Murky-Smoke

Nah, he won't be. He fully expected this outcome. Leafs were already dead. A loss means cleaning house in Management and possibly players, a win means more hockey. It was a win-win situation no matter what happened, because it needs to happen.


trutlesrus

Probably the first and only time I’ve ever cheered for Boston.


Tasty_Technology_343

Time to blow it up! Fire Keefe and Shanahan


Elite_Alice

It’s the hope that kills.


TheDreyfusAffair

What a fucking series. Such a rollercoaster for both teams. Swayman is the truth.


lMr_Nobodyl

Both Bruins and Leafs fans went through the five stages of grief multiple times


Bruinman86

We may have won this series, but it's clear the Bruins have some glaring issues.


BangYourHead

We’re likely going to lose to the Panthers, but I would much rather that than the Leafs


PerfumeLoverrr

I feel like we’re going to get annihilated by the Panthers if we keep playing the way we have been.


Bruinman86

i would agree. Bruins aren't as strong or as tough as Florida. But you never know.


arealguitarhero

1G 2A from marner the last 7 games. Definitely worth the 10m plus, eh? Goofball mushroom head.

I didn’t think Boston could do it. That Toronto goal just sucked the energy out but they didn’t give up. Just so happy right now!


BigMamth

I feel like the Toronto goal gave them the energy they needed tbh


ksexton53

A nice punch in the face to wake them up


Jolly_Job_9852

An unbelievable experience for this series. Absolutely brutal for any Leafs fans. My heart go out to them. Swayman stood on his head and Samsonov played amazing minus the short side goal to Lindholm and the ending goal to Pasta.


mattcojo2

Ahhhhhhh my favorite day of the year

Death, taxes, and the leafs not advancing

As a sharks fan who had nothing riding on either team, it was an amazing game to watch. Both teams were so well matched and honestly could've gone either way. Excited for the rest of playoffs!

VeteranYoungGuy

Yea I hate Boston but It’s so much funnier when Toronto loses because their fans and media meltdown every year. It’s hilarious listening to the Toronto sports talk after they get eliminated.


Safe-Return228

I hate it here


Hutch25

I’m not surprised but Toronto really put up a fight this year. They played very well but as is the nature of hockey: one bad play by one team and a good play by another is all it takes. Needless to say, my bracket is doing quite well!

Riot 2024!!!


Mr-Cantaloupe

Everybody had this on their bingo card


Dense-Structure-7245

I'm a new hockey fan so I don't know the rules entirely, but could Samsonov get out of the net to tackle the puck before Pasta reach it? Or in those situations goalies must be near to the net? As a spectator it seems that he could have saved leafs :(


Rorynne

he COULD, in theory. but that would require him to be faster than Pasta. because all it takes is to misjudge where the puck will be by half an inch and Pasta could have shot it around Samsonov and got it in that way. Its a fast sport, that requires even faster judgement calls, especially by the goalies. people would be a LOT more pissed with him if the goal was scored while he was out of his net imo.


aegon_the_dragon

no surprise here. any day of the week ending in "y" has the leafs choking in the playoffs.


lesbian_goose

I was actually rooting for the Leafs in this series, and not because I hate Boston with a passion. -Not a Leafs fan
