"No answers in the regular season": Jeff Marek makes his feelings known about Toronto Maple Leafs' 2024-25 campaign
Jeff Marek has made his feelings known about the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2024-25 campaign on Thursday’s episode of Leafs Morning Take.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs currently hold a middling 7-5-2 record after defeating the Boston Bruins 4-0 in their last game, Marek believes there are still no answers to be found for this team in the regular season.
"Every year there are some teams where, not the regular season doesn't mean anything, but there's no answers in the regular season," Marek stated.
"You know the regular season, we're going to cover it and we're going to have fun and it’s going to be interesting and there's going to be stories, the drama is going to rise and fall. It's going to be like this Leafs symphony that it is every year. But really all the answers are in the post season."
Marek went on to point out that no matter the individual accomplishments the Toronto Maple Leafs' stars achieve in the regular season, those achievements won't provide the answers the team is looking for.
"So, you know, Matthews snaps 65, okay. Mitch Marner has 110 point season, okay. William Nylander hits 40 (goals), okay. Like, I don't want to downplay any of that, but aren't all the answers just in the playoffs?" Marek remarked.
For the Toronto Maple Leafs team that has consistently underperformed in the playoffs despite regular season success, Marek's comments highlight the team's need to prove themselves in the playoffs.
