While many people love to see the Toronto Maple Leafs lose, these players are at the top of their game and for people like Matthews and Marner, they've been through this multiple times already and are now 0-10 in elimination games. You can't help but feel bad for them.
The Toronto Maple Leafs for the second year in a row had the chance to eliminate a team in game 6, and lost, then had the opportunity in game 7 and lost again.
Marner had these strong words for his teammates:
"We're getting sick and tired of feeling like this."

Marner got extra emotional when talking about veteran teammate Jason Spezza who could be retiring this offseason:
