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

[The Gr8 Dane]

That's another first pick gone for sure

 

[Korpse]

Scandalous.

Has to be Marner

Naw, he's the ultimate playoff choker. Just like the Sens crushing the Leafs 5v5 (7-3 Leafs goals) and the overwhelming calls the Leafs are getting (PPs are 10-9 for Ottawa with both reviews going in their favor), he's actually been so terrible and terrible for years now!

Marner in the playoffs since 2022 prorated to an 82 game season.

Goals: 21
Points: 91
+44

See, he even sucks at choking!

Sarcasm aside, the Leafs MVP is Stolarz IMO just because we havnt seen the team with a playoff goalie and now we are. Hockey is a team sport and goaltending is arguably the most important position in the game in the playoffs. The stupid media narratives surrounding the team in the past (and blown up to epic proportions in the series) have fallen apart and Stolarz is the one doing the work here. Marner is a great pick too though.

Someone must have a warmup video?

The thing about professional, dogged, reporters, is their attention to detail and giving us the specificity of important facts. Thanks Dregs.

"Dreger" and "Professional" should never be in the same sentence.

Nothing else has worked so this was the last idea they could come up with thinking it would rattle the leafs

Pinto got caught taking parlays before puck drop.

Those tears are delicious.

Pinto is so relatable. It’s why everyone loves him, he’s just like you, he’s just like me.

 

[Zybalto]

Stolarz is a beast for sure. 6 foot 6 and almost 250 lbs.

Even punked OEL for his hoodie before he came out to take questions.

I’d love to see vid of this allegation

[NyQuil]

A little late to try and create drama for this series.

 

[MCR74]

You gotta be f***ing kidding me. Anyone remember the Habs/Flyers pre-game brawl from the 80's? Jesus...

 

[GrizzLeaf]

I couldn't care less about that kid stuff. I get the nhl wants to shut that down because it can escalate quickly.

You know if it were a Leaf doing that, the Sens would be calling for heads to roll lol.

Serious for the nhl. A big ol nothing burger for fans and players.

 

[Just Rude]

Literally typed this before I saw the post:

Without any knowledge of the incident in question, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Cousins just being a douche. Seems like something he would do just to get under the Leafs skin.

 

[93gilmour93]

Worked like a charm

 

[Korpse]

Meanwhile MLSE is transporting paid fans to games and according to leaf fans “paying the refs”.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Can't see shit here...can't even see a puck being directed at him at bottom of screen.

Small details are important. Did he just pass the puck at his feet? Stolarz didn't even react.

You'd think If he elevated it with any velocity Stolarz would have reacted and Maple leafs players would have jumped cousins.

Seems like a nothingburger.

Cousins is a loser though, woulld lvoe to see him get his bell rung as TOR completes the sweep next game

Marner or Stollarz

Travis would cream himself and immediately reach for the league's front office.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

glad Rielly didn't take that personally

Suspension for Stutzle incoming ( kidding ) ?

LMAO! You don't actually believe that, do you? I guess MLSE has been doing that for years given how much blue and white is in the arena.

I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it’s likely they have.
