<p>Unfortunately, this feel of emptiness and disappointment has become all too familiar in Leafs Nation over the past decade.</p>
<p>Just like they did in Game 5, the Leafs delivered another home ice egg in Game 7 going quietly into the night against the defending Stanley Cup champions.</p>

<p>At any rate, the post-mortem began on the Monday edition of Leafs Morning Take as Zack Phillips stopped by to co-host the show.

It was a very therapeutic conversation. We discussed what happened, the next steps, and where the team goes from here following yet another rough postseason exit.</p>
<div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Game 7 Disaster: What&#039;s Next for the Maple Leafs?" width="1424" height="801" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pA6JRDiJb6Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>On a day like today, it’s tough to pull any positives. That said, it’s fair to acknowledge that this is the furthest this team has made it in a long, long time. They still have a long way to go, though. The power play was dreadful going 2-for-20 in the series, and once again, the team couldn’t generate offence with the season on the line. It’s stuff that’s been plaguing this squad for years.</p>
<p>After letting Rosey go, brought to you by<a href="https://www.rvezy.com/owner"> RVezy</a>, we spent considerable time talking about Mitch Marner’s future —John Tavares, too. For the first time in a long time, the Leafs will have some cap flexibility at their disposal this summer. Simply put, it would be utter insanity if they ran it back with the same core. They just can’t —plain and simple. They’re incapable of getting the job done. It’s time to reimagine things a little here.</p>
<p>Jay Rosehill will be back in the saddle for the Tuesday edition of Leafs Morning Take. Join us at 11 AM ET as we react and recap locker room clean-out day in Toronto.</p>
