the "gods" comment makes sense when you remember that God rested on the 7th day too.
Underrated comment.
The rips are too easy
Doh!

Tavares is talking like they lost in the cup final not rd 1
Lmao
Tavares’s interview was pathetic for a Captain. He’s won nothing in his career except 1 Round on the Isle and 1 in Toronto. He’s done
Exactly! Had the Leafs lost in ot of game 7 of the Finals then you can say you're close.
Because this core should only care about the cup at this point. They are what a rebuild ends at.
He is higher than a kite if he believes that.
The elephant in the room....Twenty-One Power Plays results in One goal....from a team that professes its scoring prowess from its superstars. Nobody even mentioned it.
Dangle would blame the fk'n goalie for that too.
@@goose5462can’t both be bad? Sammy was sieve, the power play was 2 minutes of break time for both teams, and the defense was atrocious. And with all these flaws it took the bruins 7 games. And I bet if Woll had started from the beginning they maybe would have lost. But I don’t see Boston winning against the panthers, although they had a great showing in tonight’s game
The elephant in the room is that the dump in that led to the winning goal was an icing.
@@richardthompson6366lol no it wasn’t. Get your eyes checked.
Exactly this! It was Boston’s mvp who scored game 7 overtime not the Leafs’ mvp.
Outside opinion here… the “gods” comment felt like a fan perspective putting the athletes on pedestals right or wrong. As a Yankees fan, I understood what he was trying to say
100%. But Leafs fans ego is too fragile, just broadly insinuate Matthews could be traded and watch them lose their sh*t 😂
Dude, you can’t argue with leafs fans. They’ll always find a way to twist something to fit the narrative. They’re psychotic
I mean yeah I get what he was trying to say but like… dude
It's going to be misquoted for generations, like John Lennon's supposed "bigger than Jesus" quotation.
@@shakukon-to 'Dude', what? If you listen to the full quote and understand how sports fan bases treat their athletes, let alone a market like Toronto, it's not difficult to see what he means. For better or worse, Leafs fans put the team on some of the highest pedestals in the sports world, it's just the reality of the sports culture in town - as an Eagles fan in Philly, I'm guilty of doing the same.
Having said that, I can also recognize that acknowledging that dynamic, and the way it benefits the player, isn't a sin and sure as hell isn't an indicator of a god complex like some Leafs fans are claiming. I genuinely didn't realize the quote was controversial when I first heard it, not until the quote tweets started popping up later.
Normally when a team says they were so close it's when they lose in the finals...for Toronto they say it losing the first rd😂
Touché
@@SeemsLikeSomething I don’t want see Mitch maner be traded
@@DanBistrowI want Marner traded
There’s more than 1 round?
😂😂
0:50, the laughter in the background is perfect. Likely not intentional, but hilarious all the same.
I was going to comment the same 😂
I literally thought the same thing, they should have edited that 😂😂😂
I heard it to and replied about it lmao. They were laughing what he said.
@@serotoninlight7269 - I think the fans are owed some entertainment. To put out a laughingstock and then not be able to laugh at it is a misrepresentation of the product.
Take that C off him, he don’t know what he talking about it
And that is why Morgan should have been captain all along..plain and simple.
I can't say this often enough: The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Cup in 2017 without Kris Letang for the entire Playoffs and Crosby missed a couple of Games against Washington because of a Concussion. Guess what, they still won. That's what Great Teams do. The Leafs couldn't.
Great point, i still dont think mitch marner is mature enough to be a leader on this team. And Tavares has absolutely no emotion as a captain
Zach Hyman having more goals than the Leafs 4 core in round 1, is kinda hilarious.
Also love that Monty got advise from Mike Babcock about game 7s.... oooo the burn lol
Well, he is getting fed by McDavid all day
@@Brydigan94 That's still 2 players versus 4...
Edmontons top 6, even their top 9 is crazy stacked. They have 8 players that are top 6 players on any team.
Losing Hyman proved to be a huge mistake!
Imagine if Hyman was on the team at least he would have got them past Boston lol.
Sure they get destroyed by Florida again but when are they ever gonna win a game seven in Boston?🤔?
They talk about how close they were like they were in Game 7 of the Cup final. If they can't tell the difference between being in a Game 7 in the FIRST ROUND and an actual Cup Final, they have no hope.
They had 3 wins with 13 to go. That is not close.
they can't since the last Leafs cup win playoffs were 2 rounds. To them its only 4 more games away.
It's likely that the Bruins will win the Stanley Cup. The MLS just can't catch a break drawing playoff opponents.
@@larky368exactly !! Reverse it 13 wins and 3 to go ( that is legitimately close ) but 3 wins 13 to go?!!😂😂😂
@@wentshow Yup every team that eliminate the Leafs went on to make the SCF
Can't wait for the Phil Kessel'ing of Mitch Marner. Kids going to go to a decent franchise, become a star, and win a cup within two years. It's not the players, it's the franchise.
Please. Kessel played 1000 consecutive games. He has the heart of a lion.
@@davedavid427 Kinda my point, yeah.
@@turkeykaiser You're saying Marner, as a player, is comparable with Kessel?
Difference in Marner is watching Aho in the playoffs. Both are smallish, both have around the same skill set but somehow Aho will go into the dirtiest of areas and Mitch shies away from it.
I don’t blame any Toronto fan for being upset and tired of the same excuse. I’m a Lightning fan, but we won the 2020 cup without Stamkos, except for that one game where he came in for about a minute thirty and sniped a goal. Then he was benched. I know I’ll hear the excuse of “the COVID cup”, but ask any of the players, and the bubble was the hardest time of their lives. Food was sub par, you couldn’t go anywhere or do anything. Couldn’t see your families for about 2 months. That’s rough! The Lightning made no excuses, and trust me, there was pressure from Tampa sports media after getting swept by Columbus to tear it down, trade Stamkos, fire Cooper, etc. there was no way this was acceptable. We had been a playoff team for so many years. Division champions for so many years. We finally broke through. No excuses. I simply feel for Toronto fans. I was hoping, praying for the Leafs to win and finally put the Bruin demon to bed, and then go beat the Panthers because I’m from Tampa and I can’t stand the Panthers. It just didn’t happen. Enough is enough. No more excuses. Tampa sacrificed everything to win. Their bodies and draft picks. I didn’t see the same from the Leafs.
I'd really like to see Domi get a long-term extension. The "new core" of this team feels like AM34, Willy, Domi, and Knies. I think they've all got "The Passion" and will do the work to make this work.
Yeh I hope Domi signs long time
“ the new core” includes two of the same problem players from the “ old core” hana
JT should not be captain talking like that.
After watching the interviews, its Morgan Riley that needs to be captain he gets it the other ones are delusional
Just one shot away (from being destroyed in the second round, again)
@@stevenraposo83 delusional? Reilly is just better at framing the issue from a public speaking POV. I'll never understand why people care so much on what hockey players have to say. Most don't want to say a word ever, even after a win.
@@amanasd26 it be better if they didn't say anything at all just clean out your lockers and go home Don't lie and say you're almost there. When It's pretty clear. They're not.
@@amanasd26 What JT said WAS delusional.
John Tavares has the enthusiasm quotient of a funeral home director who hasn’t had a “ client “ in weeks 🤣🤣🤣
Leafs 🤣🤣🤣
about the worst captain there can be
Tavares is a monotone moron robot 🤖 the Maple Laughs have a politician as Captain.
Complete joke of a franchise!
Tavares is the worst Captain they have had in recent times Tavares is Dion Phaneuf 2.0 basically just another L💙SER❕️
Oh man,your comment is GOLD.🤣
@@marsazorean62 , thanks 👍 I take it by your handle you are Portuguese from the Azores ? If I am not mistaken, Tavares is Portuguese also.
It sounds like Matthews was sick, took a hit and accidently shit his pants.
I hate when that happens!
@@pajamatime5750 adult diapers are a thing. Tavares wears one all the time
@@ktowniecity7269 that is fucking funny right there
Matt the Lady😅
😅😅
"we're right there". Someone bursts out laughing.
I mean that OT goal was indeed hilarious. Pasta skating by 5 leafs like they were already on their way to the bench
Summer podcast idea: “what year is this locker clean out quote from?” Maybe even include other teams
Marner was just saying how they are treated in this market - they are adored, worshipped, “treated like a god” - nothing out of line - anyone who was put out by that is biased … and I want the guy traded btw so I am not a Marner apologist
Yeah, I saw tweet by Westhead and other media members criticising him for this. I watched the clip and straight up don't understand why people are mad. Also, not a Marner fan and think he needs to be traded as well
Absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.
When Nylander says "Everybody loves him and wants the best for him" there's a bit of a smirk there like he was going to burst out laughing lol 10:38
"Stop f*cking crying bro."
He does that a lot. I think it’s shyness.
It sounds like they were all coached on what to say about Marner.
@@astrobot3038 sounds coached for sure, Nylander become a broken record. I guess the script wasn't that long, haha.
Nothing to read into. Will does they smirk often in interviews
JT was digging deep for cliches.
Guy is an emotionless mute
He always does.
Dude's a fuckin robot
Marner clearly meant that they're put on a pedestal in Toronto. The expectations are high and when it's good it is great, but when it's not it isn't. Gods was not the word he wanted.
The Marner quote reads as "we're treated very well and have high expectations placed upon us". Probably a bad choice of words but nothing inflammatory.
Yeah, I think you’re right. Does come off initially as cocky and immature but just a poor choice of words.
Can someone explain to me why Tavares is the leaf’s captain?
Cus Matthews got in trouble in Az the year we were deciding our captaincy. So they gave it to J.T
Because he isn't prone to picking his nose on camera... True captain quality.
Mathews is captain next year
@@dolandarkxgrandayy6953 matthews doesn’t want to be captain. If the leafs struggle next year he’s out.
I think they gave it to him right after the Islander fans were mean to him on his first game back.
I’m glad you defended Marner’s words. I definitely think he meant it as something he really appreciates as opposed to him being arrogant. ❤
He definitely meant it as a compliment to the fans, how they are so dedicated and passionate about the Leafs and basically how could he not love it here when they're loved so much despite the annual bitching that comes with being a Maple leaf.
@@user-fc2tj8lf2m As a kid who was born and raised in Ontario, he's not wrong either lol.
.........and what about everything else the entitled guy does and says ???? Ask your sweet-heart why he thinks he should be paid more then anyone else in the league when he only shows up when there isn't a war going on ffs !
I'm thinking the same thing. I think he was just trying to put the love and expectations of fans into a metaphor that really got miss understood
@@stewtube1240 I hope someone supervises you in the bathtub bud.
I really do think its impossible to win with Leafs fans sometimes. Is Mitch's answer to the "being right there" question generic and boring? Yes. However, given the ridiculous media attention, boring is the only safe play. Look at what happens when you go even slightly off script, like Mitch did with that "gods" comment. It gets blown up and completely taken out of context and now everyone's got your name on their lips... and its almost NEVER in a positive way.
marner is 100% correct in his comment about being treated like gods in toronto. the ridiculous reaction from fans and media just continue to prove him right
Yeah that’s every passionate fanbase for their sports team it feels like Marner’s mindset is why try in the playoffs? When I’m going to be treated as a god regardless
@@zestplays that is an absurd way to take what he said lmao
@@zestplays If you think that's how we treat players that don't perform (when they're expected to) in MTL, you don't know a whole lot about NHL hockey.
Marner would have accepted moving to Buffalo years ago if he was a Habs, but you're right about TOR: he has no reason to try to do better.
Almost like they want to put him on a cross
I would agree with your assessment of Marner’s treated like gods remark. Not arrogant claiming to be a god
I've said it before and I'll say it before, the issue with the core 4 is with them as people. I'm calling out them personally. Every other star player has taken a pay cut to win. These guys take as much money as they can every contract to the detriment of the team and sadly the team has management who is more than willing to pay these guys. They have no reason to win and at this point I don't think the core has the desire to win a cup.
They have to get the big $ contracts because in Canada they are in the highest tax bracket; their income is taxed at 53%. That's crazy, knowing these guys receive less than half the money they sign for.
Excited to hear your thoughts on the comments made by some of the players today 😬😬 Tavares and Marners' comments specifically... not good
Marner wasn’t that bad, JT on the other hand
I’d take getting worse in the regular season to have a small amount of cap flexibility or a way more balanced playoff style roster with a new core dynamic any day
You clearly haven’t lived through the 2000’s leafs team
@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa369 I did live through them. That’s the hockey I grew up on. Watching vesa toskala start in net gives me nightmares. I’m not saying get horrible. You’re going so far in the other direction. 2000s leafs were horrendous. They don’t make the playoffs. I’m saying if we get worse. But we’re still competitive and make the playoffs. Even with less points and less skill but we’re more built for the playoffs like a more dynamic strong team how is that wrong? Like we’re already a 3rd place team in our division. So what if we take a wildcard spot or were 3rd with less points
As a non Leafs fan, I think Marner was probably stating the obvious about playing in Toronto and it ruffled some feathers.
Reilly’s answer was one of a leader. He reminds me of Chris Kreider in that way. Someone who has leadership qualities but doesn’t have the captaincy.
He sounds like the only one who actually feels sad about all the losing.
The problem with the Leafs is Tavares. You can't put the weight of a team on his shoulders. You don't pay a 2nd line guy $11M; You can get 2 defensemen for the cost of 1 Tavares. Your defence is already improved.
He was never comfortable as a captain on the Island. An A? Would have worked. He’s a skilled player, but never really a strong leader.
i've been watching mitch since he was on the knights. he's been my favourite player ever since, so it's very bittersweet knowing he has to be the one to leave. there's a lot of hate for him right now in the fanbase because he's been invisible in so many playoff runs, and while the criticism is warranted, it sucks losing one of your stars, especially because mitch is so much fun to watch when he's on his game. a part of me wonders how it would turn out when tavares leaves but ultimately i know 40% of your cap on 3 players is a one way ticket to disappointing playoff runs every time, you need depth to win it all. it's like you said, simply, the mix just doesn't work.
i feel like when it actually becomes a reality, a lot of that negativity will turn into a bittersweet feeling for most of us. i'm sure wherever he goes i'll become a semi fan for that team as well
Extremely well said! Imagine if Tavares was done this season and we could use his 11 million. Then keeping Mitch would be okay.
I also have been watching Mitch since his London Knights days. In my opinion he’s the most dynamic player in the league. Dubas screwed the team with his giant contracts, but I don’t want to lose Marner. Let’s wait for Tavares’ contract to expire and use his salary to make moves. I’m willing to wait. I’m totally disappointed they can’t do anything in the playoffs, but I love watching these guys play. Hopefully everyone stays healthy next year and we ice the full team as designed.
I like him. I think he was putting in a position of leadership far too early. I don’t question his work ethic, if anything, I put it on coaching. Marner Was not someone whose skills would make a massive difference in the playoffs against the team prepared for people like him like Boston was. And Florida last year.
Bruins fan here and blowing that Gods comment was a perfect analogy. Got no problem with it and the people that do and looking for something!!
Love your points. Nice upload!
Mitch isnt saying they are gods, he's saying that people in the city, hell even kids, idolize them being on they team.
Sheldon is a true stand-up guy unlike any of his core players ! Stands up , takes the blame and the bullet for the rest of the team and for that he will be gone because of a bunch of over paid entitled pretend players that wouldn't stand up and be a man for the first time in their lives !
Keefe sucks. He regularly gets out coached in the playoffs and refuses to adjust his approach on the fly when the other team adapts. He's the first one to go in my books.
He's shite.
He stood up for David Frost.
You must be talking about Sheldon Cooper because Sheldon Keefe is a coward who doesn't own his own mistakes, worst doesn't learn from them, and is a terrible coach. He'll have no future in NHL after TML. Perhaps as an assistant coach or equipment guy...
Old Bruins fan . love y man for your sincerity and temperament❤
Toronto actually played a great series and fought back to tie the series and lost in overtime.The problem isn't this team, it's the history of the last 30 years they drag around like a ball and chain.
Ok, so let's just look at the past 8. It's still not good enough.
@@wreckzc I would say the last 7, as the caps were greatly favored to win in 2017. These have been very good teams, but not stanley cup championship teams. Hard for Leafs fans to comprehend, but Bruins fans see their team as "chokers." Lol!
Respectfully, im pretty sick of this narrative. If *that's* the thing holding the team back, the history and the fan pressure are too much for any group of athletes to succeed under, just fold the franchise now. Because that's not changing.
They got a gift with Matthews sitting out. Then the selfish prick played feeling the same as the last two games he missed out, just to say he was in game 7.
"Toronto played a great series"
Toronto is a team built around a high scoring offense that scored 12 points in 7 games, only one of which was Power Play in spite of over twenty attempts.
I'm sorry, but if you thought this was a "great series," then things in Toronto are even worse than I thought.
Marner needs to go the same way DeMar DeRozan had to go.
DeRozan was a well-liked, well-respected, All-Star level player, and the Raptors and the fans loved having him on the team. But the reality was that having him around wasn't enough to help the Raptors win, so they traded him. And we all know how it worked out.
Mitch is great, but it's time if this team wants success.
Kawhi “The Klaw” Raptors NBA 2019 Champions. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yep and that was on a team that had actually made a conference final and routinely got out of the first round and also fired their Coach of the Year lol
Maybe if McDavid was unhappy in Edmonton, then this equation would make sense
Well I mean it was kind of a bought chip.
@@HappyLifeTime2015 Bam Son
Remember what MacKinnon said at his press conference after losing to Vegas? I think it put his teammates on notice, but importantly, management.
Not that I need to make lots of money, and I love my teammates
Leafs are my 2nd favorite team after the Avs the contrast of these teams is so intriguing. On paper there not a massive difference. Obviously Makar on D It's their team mentality that's the biggest difference Mac takes them on their shoulders and the team follows. The leafs don't have that.
This team was not close.
The fact they made it a series down 3-1 is impressive, but it doesn't absolve anyone from the fact that they lost 4 of 7. They backed into the playoffs, they couldn't win at home until it was do or die, and most of their top players were not their top players in the playoffs.
How do you expect a team that averaged 3.63 goals per game to win when they only average 1.71 in the playoffs? Answer: You don't.
Mariner Sammy Keefe Shaany and a few others must go. Time for a new start. The shannaplan failed years ago. Enough already 💔
Shanascam plan keep it going 67 more years of complete failure 😂🤣
Maple Laughs = The Titanic 🚢
And meanwhile, the Bruins just destroyed Florida 5 to 1 in game 1
Oh they're running it back, and you'll be happy watching the flashy plays/goals.
New goalie, couple of old guys, a rat or two.... ladies and gentlemen your 2025 maple leafs !!
Steve. That was really good..... thanks brother!!!!
Tavares always gives responses that he thinks the media wants to hear. Reilly, who'd be my choice as captain for this club speaks the truth. Captain Cupcake says "We're right there!" Rielly, asked the same question says success is attainable but at the same time a ways away. The guy is honest in his assessment of his club.
Regardless of what was said, Nylander's fit with the all black fleece and hat combo goes hard. Young Phil Collins energy
I have a bad feeling that the core 4 will stick together for 1 more season and the only change will be firing Keefe and Shanahan!
Wouldnt be the worst thing in the world, if they can get JT at a vheaper number hes still worth it, and you tell marner hes getting a cheaper deal or let him walk. Aslong as they get some real coaches they could see how the core plays with actual direction
Steve, great midday, midnight analogy, a dysfunctional clock is always correct twice a day!
I really appreciate when you do calm analysis. The meme stuff turns me away all the time. Good job!
Marner would be fantastic PR for Utah...
Agreed. If the Leafs managed to get, say, Clayton Keller + Connor Ingram + picks, I'd look at that as a win, especially if you can flip Keller for a legit #1 RD.
He can be the god king there lol
@@BridgewatersFinestNo way in hell they would trade Keller
@@ColeMxneYou don't think so? His NTC is about to kick in, it was a Chayka contract that was inherited by Armstrong... I'm just saying, we've seen far weirder things than that.

I absolutely LOVE your videos, Steve!!! You're extremely insighful and passionate about the game & the TML!!! I'm looking forward to your post meeting front Leafs' management on Friday! (Sidenote: Is it me? Or did they change date/time of meeting because the front office doesn't want to deal with the media reaction to their statements until Monday? You know, give the fanbase the weekend to absorb the meeting results. Meanwhile, the PR department goes into hyper-drive.)
The media meeting with Leafs' entire management was rescheduled for Friday. President, GM & coach will be there. God, I WISH I had access to TSN!!! Because I won't see it in the States.
Nancy
Being passive is one the biggest issue the maple leafs have along with not enough skill.
They were close to winning the first round not close to winning a cup after 8 tries
for 8 years running
they missed again, like Phil Collins said
Holy shit Tavares show some emotion
Impossible for him
GOD BLESS YOU Fans of the LEAFS!… so little will be done and you all will stand behind this Cooperate organization!.
Rielly spoke like a captain should for a team in this position.
marners not wrong. the fans of t.o make their players and teams gods 🤷♂️
A round three loss would be "right there", not another round one exit.
I’m the furthest thing from a Leafs fan but Steve is a great voice for knowledgeable leafs fans who might not be a loud as the rest of the fan base. He tells it how it is and brings some respect back to leafs nation.
The next step was the 3 rd round they have regressed. Never winning a presidents trophy or your division is just a good regular season not great, now add 7/8 first round losses and its just brutal. Someone tell JT it takes 16 wins for a cup maybe he forgot because of his age and only making it to the second round in his whole career twice, time for a new captain that speaks up and holds his team accountable .From management down big changes need to be made, what would Boston or Florida, Vegas etc. do... exactly winners dont stop striving and changing to get better and they are ruthless.
As a nucks fan, i totally understand his statement. Media pumps them up. The coverage on them is like nome other. I was talking to my buddy the day after nucks pulled the lucky win on preds the other day, and you look at tsn, shows the nucks recap, recap of another game and 20 vids of the leafs. I thimk TSN stands for toronto sports network.
It's just a numbers game. There are more Leafs fans because somehow they are allowed just about all of Southern Ontario and that's a lot of Canada. Wish your nucks all the luck in the playoffs.
TSN's office is in toronto
I think you answered your own question & why the Leafs are hated, they have the most reach & they pay the bills just like the Yankees, Cowboys & Lakers. I wish your nucks the best btw
@@daryldrew8349 i never knew that. Makes more sense now. Lol cheers
tavares reminds me of lurch from the addams family movies
Gentlemen....there's a shelf life to everything in life....including the Shanahan Plan
IF ........ they had off showed up in games 3-4 !
Tavares: "Well we're right there..I think..y'know"
Right where exactly?
holy shit.
I love their playoff 5 o'clock shadows
Habs fans are having a blast. Great job,Steve😂
3:42 “if”. My grandfather taught me that if the hound didn’t stop to take a s#!t, it would have caught the fox.
I don't think Marner's quote is that bad, I don't think he means "gods" like people expect too much of them in terms of performance, that would be an insanely out of touch thing to say, I think he means more like the attention and cheering of the fanbase is like no other which is a fine quote. I actually prefer his response to Matthews and Nylander, I don't even know why they had to talk about the scapegoats and narratives just to try and defend Marner, if you wanna defend your teammate then just say "he doesn't deserve to bear the heat alone, it's a team effort and we lost as a team" that feels like it creates way less friction that what they said.
First of all I’d to say I love your show & even though I’m an Isles fan, I always watch your show. Great Job! 👍
Well said!
Big money comes big responsibility
Steve, These guys are hockey players. They are not diplomats, some are better than others talking to the press. They are still young some younger than you. Yes they can be wrong, so can you. Last podcast you guys all had Vegas beating Dallas. Man you were so wrong maybe you should blow up the podcast. The point I am making is their is more than meets the eye here. You guys said there was two coaches but really there was one no one expected them to win back then they were to young but the system has been beaten into them for 7 YEARS. Maybe just maybe this is a system issue. Could it be possible that it isn't all the players that maybe the system needs to change. Marner will be there at least a year change the coaches and see what happens.
Great analysis and funny.
Domi and Bertuzzi need to be back. Good playoff jam.
This team gaslighting us is very old. I appreciate Reilly's honesty. I am looking forward to seeing Marner on another team.
You weren't anywhere, Johnny. The entire team wasn't there for games 3 and 4, and Marner the God, is a completely different player in the post-season.
Tavares and Marner leaving would open up huge cap-space to build a better playoff team. The problem is, who the hell will sign for a team without a driven discipline coach, oft-injured goalies, and no balls.
As for Shanahan? He needs to go.
Leaf fans, get Marner and Tavares 'opening up cap space' if they are traded out of your heads. If they are traded, the Leafs are going to have to take salary back in any deal, or retain, or both. At most, the team will be saving $2-3M while having an inferior player(s) coming back and eating up rest of the cap.
It is actually better, especially in Tavarse's case, to just have him play out the final year and resign him for lower, or let him walk. Then you'll have cap space.
@@deltagolavista1 Tavares maybe..... if you think they'd need to retain on Mitch you're out to lunch lol
@KS-xk2so Marner makes 10.9m, if they did retain it would only be for 1 season anyway. And retaining 2-3m could be the difference of a trade happening or not. Majority of teams spend to the cap and if they could get a year of Marner for 8-9m instead of 11m it could make a difference and Toronto would get more back
@@justjohnny420 Given how cap strapped the Leafs have been forever, I doubt retaining is in the cards though. What's the point in moving out Marner if you then use that 11 million in cap space as 4 mill retained, and then get a worse player making say 7 mill?
@@KS-xk2so Not one team atm can take on Mitch's full $10.9M. The Blackhawks are the closest with $10.5M free cap space.
Yes it is the offseason, yes teams are going to be moving off some UFA, but they are not going to blow their entire free cap space to acquire a player another team is running out of town - especially one with a full no move and dictates where he goes.
KEEP MORGAN REILLY. I love that he was honest with us. Why? Cause he gets it.
Goaltending...changes everything.
Leafs desperately need a solid goalie who doesn't get hurt & can take them deep in the playoffs.
I feel like woll is now injury prone. They definately need a goalie.
As a Leafs fan,
WE WANT FLORIDA 👏👏👏👏👏
TO BEAT BOSTON 👏👏👏👏👏
Im a Bruins fan and even I pick Panthers in 5. Bruins don't have enough talent
are we gonna forget last year when one of Florida's players intentionally hit our star rookie in the head?
@@WarHorseMumbles buddy clm down im 14 and die hard from 2017 it wasn't intentional and it was last year its fine its over we suck we should all admit it
@KHayes666 bruins had the talent last year over florida and look what happened. I'm not counting them out yet. LETS GO BRUINS
Listen. Sorry I don’t care who wins and won’t be following it.
I don't know why the Leafs need a new Goalie, they had a strong tandem. The Leafs need to get players to sign team-friendly contracts so they can afford to fill out the rest of the roster. But Canadian taxes are going to make that difficult.
Well said
Are the Leafs gonna blow it with Knies like they did with Hyman?
They’d be fools. Knies SHOULD be a key part of that team going forward.
We won’t know if John or Mitch are asked to waive. They won’t come out and say it publicly.
They’d be able to choose what teams they go, if they did choose to waive. Those teams will fleece the Leafs because they know that they have limited trade options.
This team is so screwed. More cap is taken up next year by Matthews and Nylander.
Don’t expect next year to be any different.
The armchair gms think the leafs can just ignore the NMC's. They negotiated these for a reason. And you don't trade your stars when their value is at an all time low
Gotta love you kept it Canadian corny with the strikes midnight line....amazing! You speak like you look...you are real!
The Leafs have tons and tons of money. They’re not worried. Doesn’t matter if it keeps going on and on like this ….they still make lots of money.
Mitch marner, god reference is about how people view them, and the pressure they get put under.
How is Keefe still employed?
Give it a minute
🤣🤣🤣
Great Video. Losing sucks. As a New England sports fan if it wasn't for Larry Bird Boston wouldn't have seen a Championship for a looooong time. In my hometown of Fitchburg MA, the Bruins had their preseason workouts there. Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and many more, my family, friends, everybody in New England came to see our team. Then one day they were gone and funny but the Bruins thru the years had good teams but not great enough to win the Stanley Cup until 2011. Losing again hurts but as a true fan, no matter what you still support and love your team. The Patriots we use to refer to as the Red Sox with helmets. Patience is a wonderful thing. Boston since 01 has won so many titles from all of their franchises the term Title Town, Boston took from Green Bay. Hopefully the Chips will keep on coming. Losing hurts and we know about losing but when a streak does get broken it does so in a wonderful way. Also I live now in Connecticut so I got to put the women and men's college Basketball teams in there as well.
I envy you Boston fans, but I’m rooting for you against the panthers. Hope you guys make the final and maybe win another cup. Atleast us Leafs fans can say we lost to the champs 😂😂😂😂
Watching Tavares struggle at the podium makes me indescribably happy. Long Island sends its regards.
I'm hopeful for a St Louis here in Toronto.
When they won the cup, they had realized their core wasnt getting it done despite repeated playoff 1st rounds. Kept getting eliminated.
SO THEY CHANGED THE CORE!!!!!! BECAUSE THE CORE COULDN'T GET IT DONE!!!!!!
And they won the cup.
This core will not be able to get the job done, so change the core, get a new coach, and roll the dice next year.
Everyone has to lay TF off Mitch for that ‘like gods’ comment. He was a Leafs fan his whole life, making him love hockey and becoming so good he got drafted by them. a goddam dream come true. He looked at the Leafs as gods and now he’s a Leaf. F*ck all y’all for shitting on him. It’s a team sport and last time I checked there were a lot of underperformances across the board.
He's a baby. You must be his Dad...you sound just like him....
@@michaelhamm6805 you must not be a grown ass man.
@@michaelhamm6805 ties with your leading goal scorer for goals this series with ONE. MR 69 did sweet f all, again.
You should make so many more videos like this..I fully understand the Internet and making money and getting attention..but as a true hockey fan..a true Bruins fan..I enjoyed this ..from the heart I guess is just so much more likeable..
Just saw on Overdrive on TSN Leaf presser has been moved to Friday with Pelley, Treliving and Shanahan to be there.
Mitch is in love w T.O. for the contract and the sponsorship deals only.
He grew up here you boob. He loves playing in his hometown for sure.
Exactly and he also knows that playing for a different team in a different city with different players is not going to be a cake-walk for him and his POS personality !
he loves being a celebrity more than being a great hockey player
@@Sir_Godz yeah I'm sure when he was a kid and pretended he was a Toronto Maple Leaf he was skipping lines at clubs and signing autographs, not shooting pucks in the driveway..... my god people like you are morons. You know fuck all about his personal life, you're just a hater. Comment on his play or contract all you want, but pointless speculation like this is stupid.... so I guess it makes sense you'd be all over it.
@@stewtube1240 You know Mitch personally, do you?
