William Nylander lashed out on Mitch Marner at the bench in game four between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In another underwhelming performance from the Leafs, a worrying scene is making rounds on the web. At the bench, things got heated between Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner.

Nylander appears to say to Marner to "stop f***ing crying" at some point.

Watch the video here:

"William Nylander, presumably to a teammate: «Stop f****** crying bro this isn't fucking junior hockey.» #LeafsForever"

The team leaders are obviously tired of losing. In the playoffs, losses hurt even more.

But the fact is that the Bruins were all over them all night long. Since the series started, the Leafs came out with a strong performance only once. You need 16 in order to win a Stanley Cup, and all points to the fact that they won't get the chance of getting there.

Boston will have the opportunity to eliminate the Leafs as soon as Tuesday night, in front of their fans, at the TD Garden.

If they want to keep fighting, the Leafs will need to rally together and come up with a strong team performance.

Sheldon Keefe, in his post-game press conference, stated that he doesn't believe his players should be criticized for their efforts. But with all the talent in the line up, if players don't perform well, it's Keefe who should get the most negative feedback.

"Sheldon Keefe: "You can question a lot of things, you can't question the effort."

He'll need to make decisions soon if he hopes to turn things around for his team.
