Bye bye, Bruins. My favourite day on the hockey calendar.

So Nick Gretzky Paul will be the one to eliminate the Leafs this year

Even without Point, Tampa will still win.

At least I bet big on Tampa in the series, that'll be the most depressing money I've ever made.

Got to give credit to Tampa tonight. They played great defense, blocked the lanes, didn't let the Leafs stars get open and Vasilevskiy was excellent.

I'm guessing Keefe is gone. Can't lose two Game 7s at home and bring back the same coach.

Don't see a lot of player movement with the high salaries.

One change I demand: Can we finally get rid of ‘You Make My Dreams’ by Hall and Oates as their goal song. Can't win with a 1980s song.

Get rid of the coaching staff and get rid of Marner, I'm sick of him.

And not related to why they lost, but get rid of Mrazek too.

I honestly wouldn't do anything dramatic with the Leafs roster.

This also confirms Avs are losing in the 2nd round because NHL is scripted. ****

Wait a minute, the Canucks use "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds as their goal song and Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" as their victory song, and they --

Oh, I see.

With the old Leafs, Keefe would be gone. This incarnation seems to value stability and continuity. The other part of it is a weak coaching class outside of Trotz.

Not that goaltending was the issue tonight, but I suppose that will be the focus in the offseason. Do they resign Campbell? Do they try to dump Mrazek?

The Leafs losing the first round stopped being funny last year; I just felt nothing and still feel nothing tonight. Now Calgary losing tomorrow to Dallas, that **** would be hilarious.

What do you even do if you're the Leafs though?

They're in a worse spot than the Raptors were after getting Lebronto'd. And it forced them to make the unpopular moves like getting rid of the star who couldn't get it done in the playoffs.

You can't keep saying "the other team had a vezina goalie" and stuff like that. Something needs to happen. Do I think the Leafs can run it back and win 50 games again next year? Yes. Does that mean anything in the playoffs? No.

So what do you even do?

Roster wise, Campbell is the main guy needing to be signed, but Mrazek should hopefully be not too hard to dump, and use that money on Campbell. And also get a solid backup for him.

D wise, I'm fine with Rielly,Muzzin,Brodie,Lyubushkin,Liljegren,Sandin as their core.

Offensively all I think they'd even need is a Marchand or Tom Wilson like guy in their top 6.
