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

[MCR74]

The Leafs getting reverse swept would be the most Leafs thing possible...

2 of 3 won in OT. Either of those could have gone to Ottawa

Not betting on that happening though, I'll leave that to Pinto

I don't know if Pinto is stupid enough to take that bet.

 

[Strangle]

The scores of the last couple of games have been close, but aside from a 10 minute surge at the beginning of Game 3, and having the lead for a little bit, the Leafs have pretty much been in control of the series.

Stolarz could easily be the scapegoat if the Sens had managed to win in OT, with the team in front of him virtually eliminating quality chances for huge parts of the latter stages of games.

As it is, the team has bailed him out for giving up those game-tying goals.

Anyway, the only real score that matters is 3-0. The Leafs are doing a good job on cutting down chances in dangerous areas and I'm curious to see how it works against other teams in the division.

There is zero chance Stolarz would have been the scapegoat

It’s hilarious that no one cheering against the leafs has anything to say about WHY Ottawa is losing all these games and all they can think of is “gee, I hope Toronto can beat themselves because Ottawa sure isn’t good enough” lol

It’s been like this since game 81 of the season wrapped up

I've only scoreboard watched this series. I stand by what I said. Leafs getting reverse swept would be the the most Leafs thing to happen

It's easy to say that now.

Let's say he lets in his first shot in the 3rd period (which is pretty much what he did) and then his 1st shot in OT, in both Game 2 and Game 3.

I think it's pretty obvious that some people would be miffed.

 

[BiolaRunner]

Technically speaking, it would be his buddy in the States taking the bet

 

[Summer Rose]

Can’t do it buddy I’m sorry

Cherish the time we have together, don’t look to tomorrow

It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.

Hypotheticals are dumb. "He would be the scapegoat if he was worse".

Stolarz has given up 6 goals in this series and your magically upping that by 33% to let us know he'd be a bad goalie if he let in more goals.

That would involve changing the narrative, and we can't have that.

He has let in one(maybe two?) weak goal the entire series. Sure, the tying goal wasn't great...but end of the day he has been one of the main reason we are in the spot we are in. The tying goal in G2 wasn't on him at all. Sens have struggled beating him clean the entire time.

That's pretty much what I was counting on happening as someone who wanted the Leafs to lose. If both teams were to have played close to their best, the Leafs were never going to have a great deal of trouble taking the series.

That said, there's still that tiny chance they blow a 3-0 series lead, which admittedly I would personally find very funny.

Looks like actual fans of Toronto (unlike the ones paid to attend the game 3 by MLSE) are starting to chant that they want Florida all over social media. Interesting.

Don't look at me.

A poster said that no one would be mad at Stolarz if he'd let in those goals.

Considering how few shots have been lobbed at him in the 3rd and OT periods, I took issue with that statement, that's all.

Cool stat, Stolarz led the league in SVP in back to back years

Was also 1st in GAA last year and 3rd in GAA this year

.925 in 27 games last year
.926 in 34 games this year

Don't get me started about Pepe Silvia.

The Sens are done. They may as well book some tee off times for Sunday.

 

[Rob]

I know this won't make Sens fans feel any better but at least they finally had more fans in their home rink than Leaf fans.

Sounded like their 'fans' cheered just as loud for their loss

.926 so far in the playoffs.

Can't say he's not consistent.

Losing on and off the scoreboard

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, what a joke.

Toronto media strikes again.

They were teammates in Florida.

 

[cyris]

LOL, what a joke.

I’m mean while it was a nothing play I get it. They don’t want it to keep escalating and definitely don’t want to go back to when there used to be fights during warm up.

Losing on and off the scoreboard

LMAO!

Thank God they weren't fined for all the dives they pulled last night.
