Series Talk: [A1] Toronto Maple Leafs vs [WC1] Ottawa Senators | Part II (TOR lead 3-1)

[Cheapseats]

They erased a 2 goal lead on a lucky bounce and a great high slot tip from a player no one would expect to make that tip.

After they tied it they didn’t have a single high danger chance again. Just going to OT isn’t “almost winning”.

Excuses come fast n hard out of Toronto

 

[Cheapseats]

I guess we should thank the amazing Drake Batherson for gifting TO the win.

Toronto loves to copy Ottawa

If TO would copy Ottawa, they would be down 2-0 rather than on their heels.

The winning team isn’t looking for excuses…

The only excuses we've been getting so far are "The refs are in the Leafs' back pocket".

Typical leafs fan that knows nothing, trying to stir the pot. First, its Canadian tire center, second, Can you point me to the article that favors the Sens over Toronto? Leafs are a horrible playoff team making themselves look better beating on a lower ranked, injured team.

The use of AI should not be permitted on the forum. Then again, "artificial intelligence" perfectly sums up certain posters.

Tell us how you really feel. So youre saying the sens suck and thats why the Leafs are winning?

Sens made some noise last night. Leafs could have easily lost that game against the lower ranked team. I keep an eye on Toronto every spring because of the comedy. Most of the fans think the puck is stuffed with feathers, while puffing their chests out and talk about the parade and n round one. Give it a rest lads, we hear it every year. You’ve got a much weaker team that’s been out of the playoffs for nearly a decade and almost split it 1-1. If the bay leaves don’t choke this round, it will be next. It’s a tradition. Ottawa in 7. Haha!

Leafs became too passive with 2 goal lead but basically next 20 min after Tkachuk goal to Gaudette opportunist goal, Toronto completly controlled the play and Ottawa creating absolutly nothing. Stolarz made a key save than previous G didn't vs Cozens to give leafs a chance to win it..

Sens Logic 101.

 

[Dr Pepper]

First 2-0 series lead in over twenty years, for the Leafs.

Not sure if they'll manage to win both games in Ottawa but they're sitting pretty for now at least. Must feel good.

 

[Zybalto]

Powerplays now 7-6 Leafs for the series. Sens have won both reviews concerning penalties. Conspiracy theories on officiating is just cope.

Leafs 4 for 7 on the PP
Sens 1 for 6 on the PP

Goals are 9-4 Leafs for the series dominated by the Leafs big 4.

Goaltending:
Stolarz: .934
Ullmark: .800

Leafs are winning this with goaltending, special teams and their top players coming through.

1967 was a long time ago

Wow. You sure showed us. That stings.

Wow. You sure showed us. That stings.

AKA the classic Sens fans come back.

 

[The Management]

Toronto put the boots to them early, but then allowed them to get off the floor and get back into the game. Didn't love that. It's the playoffs and you need to keep the peddle to the floor for sixty minutes.

All the pressure is on Ottawa for the next game. If they go down 3-0, on home ice, that'll be a difficult hole to crawl out from.

 

[HockeyVirus]

It's amazing what playing a non top 3 team in round 1 is like. Other fans gave us so much crap but if they were in the metro or west the Leafs have many more series wins under their belt.

And let's not make believe that Ottawa would've fared better against Boston, Tampa or Florida.

Ottawa beat Boston.

 

[Strangle]

So far, the series is going as Leaf fans said it would

I guess everyone is just annoyed at the truth.

Would YOU like to make me a sponsorship bet on that?

I have found a lot of fans who seem convinced the sens will win, but none willing to make it official

 

[TheBeastCoast]

There was a whole lot of Stolarz doubting going on before the series like Leaf fans don't have two eyes and have witnessed whatever the f*** we have rolled out in net in previous years lol

He has an interesting definition of "noise".

 

[X66]

Leafs put on an absolute clinic in that 3rd period, and Ottawa still scored on their first shot of the period 15 mins in lol, why is hockey so odd?

I've also never seen the Leafs PP click like this, they're scoring goals 10-20 seconds into every PP...

Hopefully there's a signature Matthews' game on the horizon.

The narratives with the Leafs have been divorced from reality for a while now.

 

[Cheapseats]

If TO would copy Ottawa, they would be down 2-0 rather than on their heels.

Nothing to do with that. Remind me again how Toronto does every year? Far from over. It should be 1-1. Leafs got lucky, again.
