I hope Babcock doesn't try and sell platitudes after that finish.

They have a LOT to learn across the board...

the upside for the Leafs will come July 1...

1) Nylander ain't gettin' big money - not yet
2) Matthews ain't getting big money - not yet
3) Leafs will have a ton of cap space... including the 4M that Jake Gardiner currently makes...

so question to the general audience... who was better Polak or Gardiner?

Definitely Polak. Guy seems to show up for the playoffs. Very solid.
Gardiner is the same as always, does some great things and totally poops the bed at the worst possible moments.

If Boston lost the game would have been on Rask. Both goalies sucked.

How’s the Habs’ series going?

At least you guys have that 1C, a GM and coach.

Claude Julien would have missed the playoffs with that group.

Matthews and Nylander both no shows all playoffs, Matthews must be injured, but Nylander needs to go. What a fan base, they were both just bad. Next year they probably won’t be.

I'm proud of this team. They're not ready yet but it doesn't mean they can't learn from this series. You have to lose before you can win. The Leafs got taught a lesson by the Bruins throughout this series and they'll learn from it. Changes must be made but the core of this team is as young and as strong as it's ever been. Babcock was right when he said there will be pain. Pain in finishing dead last, pain in fighting for a playoff spot and pain in competing in the playoffs.

Go Leafs Go.

We don't want to totally rip you off. Gardiner and a 3rd for Ruhwedel. Throwing in the 3rd for the salary difference. Deal?
- Rinosaur

lol I had Ruhwedel in my first proposal, but thought Corrado made more of a FU JAKE! statement.

I don't think management is going to make a move based on one game. If they did that, we'd be trading Andersen for Reimer

That being said, Gardiner has continually been hot/cold/mostlycold and it's time for him to go. We would be losing a lot of offense but we lack on the back end, but holy (frank), it's probably worth it.

I think we should sign d.Clarkson and trade for d.bolland this offseason.

Gardiner is going to get a lot of irrational hate because the hopes and dreams of fans were pissed on tonight but he's far from the only guy worthy of getting blamed. Where was the rest of the team? What the (frank) was Andersen doing on half those goals?

Gardiner is far from the best all-around defender but his positives usually outweigh the negatives. His contract has 1 year left on it so maybe he's a candidate to get moved to recover assets but what he brings to the team still needs to be replaced and that will not be easy to do.

When the leafs were winning I called it that Bettman would step in. Those "4 on 4s" "coincidental minors" weren't really coincidence at all, it was Bettman knowing the Brooins had an advantage in those stat areas. Sorry leafs fans, victims to a business decision.

I think the Leafs will be scary good next season. The youngsters hadn't experienced a heartbreak like this yet. It's almost a necessary thing to attain that FIRE that was lacking in the 3rd period. Lightning got it after two big disappointments - Bruins will be golfing after Tampa.

You guys worry me for next season, if you can fix your D problems.

Ah, well, maybe we can just keep Snow locked up in a closet somewhere unless we're in the middle of making a trade with Edmonton.

Gardiner is what he is, there is a reason he's getting paid 4 million.

Krug gas Chara and Mcavoy to play behind.

Gardiner has Reilly sometimes
