C’est dommage que les fans s’en soucient autant. Ils mettent trop de pression sur les joueurs.

Then why do they want to come here to play?
Pressure is part of the sport
These are multi-million dollar paid athletes
If they can’t take pressure, why tf are they making the big bucks?
Ffs, you’d expect some psychological resilience at this level of the game.
Maybe if no one showed up to watch the games, they’d play better.
NOISE!!!!
Can’t afford those tickets button >>
Boo hoo…they make most people’s yearly salary every couple days….that’s not pressure…it’s a luxury …and I love the leafs
Watching them play three on three in their natural non contact state is peak leafs
It’s a bullshit narrative pushed by leafs haters to piss off the leafs fans. The Leafs can’t be the only team in the world that has this narrative that the fans and media are too harsh on players.
Only sport that’s worth a billion fucking dollars that this is seen as a bad thing ridiculous conversion we are having here
True pressure comes more from an insane Toronto media. That’s why we need a captain who can field questions and call out the stupid questions with authority. Someone with a boat load of confidence. A true motivator. Matthews ain’t it. I want him on the team obviously (does he want that though?), but I don’t want him as captain. I think a witty captain with a fuck you attitude towards media could shift the dynamics in the dressing room and on the ice.
I’m helping the players out by not watching any more games this season, and not buying any merch.
Maybe they should have a second team in Toronto to take some pressure off then. It’s not like attendance should be a problem.
Fans are *not* the problem. Damn I get tired of hearing that they are. They’re consumers who expect value for their entertainment dollar.
The media, on the other hand …
Ya lol, that’s the problem.
Sure it sucks going through the heart break, time and time again.
Whether it’s the over critiquing of management, players, culture, fans, it doesn’t matter.
We don’t jump on bandwagons. We always support our team deep down.
We’re Leafs fans. And that’s final!
Heard from a lot of people who were down there today, who said they had an awesome time and the organization did a great job.
Glad the youngins on their March break enjoyed themselves.
Please tell me the second sentence is sarcasm….
I think it’s a little disingenuous to say “the fans care too much” when talking about pressure.
It’s not about them caring, it’s about them having a meltdown over every small thing that doesn’t land their way.
Just playing devils advocate.
I know MOST fans aren’t this way, but the loud vocal minority can be sometimes. So it’s not a clear black and white issue imo
You think Nylander feels pressure?
More noise and atmosphere than a home game there
« Pack »
Only if the playoff tickets were cheap
You guys are all crying about something none of the players ever actually said while ignoring plenty of insane dumbass shit Leaf fans do all the time. Because again, it’s not about « pressure. » It’s about you freaks being so insane and annoying.
First ever? Haven’t they always done this? I remember going to one as a kid and they had a skills competition within the team and Pavel Kubina had the hardest shot at like 103 mph
Once you resign yourself to taking it up the ass every season for the rest of your life, it’s actually pretty fun.
There is actually zero pressure to win in Toronto. People are used to losing, so giving a solid effort is a win.
dumb for the most part that the media’s stupid takes and opinions are taking as leafs fans views.
PRESSURE??? , They get paid Miliions of dollars for playing a sport they love. We technically pay their salaries with ticket and mech sales. So… Yeah !!! Pressure is on boys to bring that freakin CUP home !!
Pay me millions of dollars to play a game as a living and I’ll handle the pressure.
That didn’t looked very « packed » to me. If they didnt do it so early in the day I feel like more people would have been there
Such a dumb narrative oh no our fans like us so much we can’t perform our job for millions. Fuck off.
No English Premier League team has ever put up with so much pressure ever from fans lol
What an absurd reality! I hate it. Why
are there never a concentration of Leaf players who can handle expectations and adulation. It’s been going on for over fifty years. I’m sick of it.
What?… you don’t rise to the top level in anything if you cannot handle pressure. Perspective is everything… this isn’t pressure, it’s motivation.
