Sid Seixeiro, formerly of Tim & Sid and current host of Breakfast Television across the CityTV network, has absolutely blasted the Toronto Maple Leafs and their best players following the team's latest loss to the Florida Panthers in game 2, going down 2-0 in the series. Seixeiro went on a huge rant Friday morning, calling out all the most notable players.

"I'm stunned the Leafs are about to blow the opportunity in front of them."

"The road is clear," said Seixeiro after claiming that the best teams going into the playoffs are already out of it. "The road is clear for the Toronto Maple Leafs to do damage, and they're blowing it!"

Seixeiro then went on to call out players by name, saying they are making too many mistakes.
"[John] Tavares blows a tire on the 2-1 goal last night behind the net, [William] Nylander has quit on this hockey team. On the second goal, you saw it. And on the third goal, [Michael] Bunting, [Auston] Matthews and [Mitch] Marner, one screw up after another!"

"I guarantee you the lead up to these goals were mistakes by the highest-paid and most important players."

He then told the person running the highlights to cut them before it went to the third period where he felt Toronto actually tried again.
"I don't want to see the stuff in the third period where the Leafs decided to play. We can lose this. I'm not impressed by this. Bring it here, please. Seriously, I don't want to see that garbage. You got to play 60 minutes, or you're not going to win."

Seixeiro then proceeded to call out Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe for saying he was "baffled" by the way his team played at times last night.
"You know what's baffling to me? It's May, and you still don't know what your best lineup is."
