they were really good in 05-07 though winning the president's trophy one of those years. went to two straight conference finals. that's all four series wins right there. the leafs were mediocre for a very long time, and have been unable to get it done the last 8 years they've qualified for the playoffs, which is absolutely disgraceful but also a function of being in a tough division with Tampa and Boston (and now Florida). with the old seeding system they would have had a bunch of series as a 2-3 seed against a 6-7 seed which probably would have been easier.

As a Blackhawks fan for over 50 years, born in 1962 I thought the Hawks would never win a cup. Watching them win the three cups from 2010-2015, it was clear only depth and defense can win cups. Time after time it was the Bolland's and the Versteeg's that gave the stars a chance to shine. Kane would not be Showtime if many others did not pave the way. Most times, a team cannot control how many goals they score. It is so important to be able to play a defensive game when needed. Defense is something with hard work even with lower skilled players can be a big factor. Many times, the Hawks could put any line out there against any line. In fact, the 4th line was used as a shutdown line against the best others had to offer. As soon as the Hawks became top-heavy paying their stars, they never won a playoff round again. It is not that the Leafs stars are not showing up. It is they are letting the Boston stars beat them.

I have no faith in the Leafs, they do not have a team capable of beating Boston...reasons why: Keefe - for the last 10 minutes of the 2nd period the team was doing the same thing, trying to skate into the zone with control of the puck...Boston had a defensive system where they could not do that effectively...anyone with a brain could see that but the Leafs kept doing the same thing...solution = try something new, also when in the zone with the puck, have someone block Swayman and then take a shot...instead the plan was pass, pass, pass, pass,...but unfortunately they would cough up the puck and then it would go the other way...sure the system worked against Montreal, and Chicago, and Ottawa but it has not worked against Boston so doing something different would be prudent...I blame Keefe for not adjusting, Leafs need to fire him (not sure who to replace him with)...other Leafs that need to go (on defense): Liljegren (just horrible and should not be on an NHL team), McCabe (I like he that he is tough but he pinches too much and gets burnt on it, not to mention dumb penalties at times...on offense it is a shame we have Nylander and Tavares on long term no trade clause contracts as it limits what we can do..IMO you need a different strategy to our offense as the current offense I look at as being good, just we need a different strategy with Boston, and Keefe has yet to figure that out...

I root for the Leafs every year and I'm not even a Leafs' fan because I follow a franchise ever more pathetic than the Leafs, unfortunately. When a used-to-be-hack like Boston's Trent Frederic (who actually had a nice season) has more goals (2) than anyone else on the Leafs' roster after 4 games, that should say it all. Where are you Auston? I know you can't do it all by yourself but 69 goals during the regular season will easily be forgotten when your TEAM doesn't make it out of the first round. Notice I say TEAM, Auston. Set your records, score your goals, keep on failing in the first round, but what do you really care, right? As long as YOU set individual records, right? Frederic and the Bruins have WAY more heart and grit than the Leafs can possibly muster this year and like years before. Congrats on moving on Boston. This series is more than over.

We've seen this time and time again with this core. Their star players just don't show up in the playoffs. Now it goes without saying that Hockey is a team sport and you need depth to go deep in the playoffs but you need you're star players to perform. Contrast that with the Oilers who are a very similar style of team: Mcdavid 9 pts, Draisaitl 7 pts, and Hyman 7pts. All three of them have more points individually than Marner, Mathews, and Tavares combined. Even Evan Bouchard has only 1 less point than them combined. Granted the LA Kings are not the same caliber of team as the Boston Bruins but it still shows how the Oilers stars are dominating play in a way the Leafs just aren't. If the core 4 ever want to get close to a cup in Toronto then they need to figure out how show up like Mcdavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Mackinnon, Kucherov, etc.

I used to get nervous back when Subban would even get the puck way back when, powerplay or full strength, I should feel that same way when the bruins get a penalty, especially a 4v3.
