Series Talk: [A1] Toronto Maple Leafs vs [WC1] Ottawa Senators | Part II (TOR lead 3-2)

[Sasha Orlov]

Leafs are done, OTT in 7

 

[Sam de Mtl]

I said leafs in 6. If it gets to 7, Ottawa will win. Leafs forget how to play in G7s.

 

[The don godfather]

This baby goes 7 you heard it here first. My reasoning is linus will outduel stolarz now.

 

[Commander Clueless]

We`ve never won a game 7 but the Leafs are spotty in game 7s in the post-lockout era.

It`s a toss-up but right now, doubt is gnawing at everyone from MLSE to Shanny to Berube to `Col. Sanders`behind the Leafs bench. Would not be surprised if the Leafs gave up an outrageous shot advantage in period 1 Tuesday. Ullmark has, at long last, understood his job is stopping pucks.
If he keeps it up, this series will get interesting in a hurry.

Had Sens in 5, Sens in 7 for a new chapter? We shall see, We shall see indeed.

If by "spotty" you mean "haven't won one", yes.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

BAHAHAHA, that OT Powerplay.. NO URGENCY at all. They either SUCK or told not to f***ing play.

 

[TheDoldrums]

BAHAHAHA, that OT Powerplay.. NO URGENCY at all. They either SUCK or told not to f***ing play.

Not having Tavares out there seemed to cause some hesitation and uncertainty. Bad break after it had been so deadly to that point.

Wonder if Berube should've put McMann or Patches out there to keep the 5 forward alignment that had been working so well. Rielly didn't offer much.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

there's no other team in the league that would be getting this much flak and doubt for being up 3-1. Leafs have earned some of that, but a lot of it is ingrained hatred.

called Leafs in 5 from the hop, and we're right in line for that

I really don't think it is at all. Shouldn't even be talking about a game 7. It's like Leafs talking about second round before last night. Not even close to a reality yet.

People like to be drama queens. I am not conserned at all and I know for a fact the Leafs aren.t This is a 3-1 series and the Leafs very easily were the better team most of the game and could have swept them. The Sens aren't beating the Leafs 4 times in a row

 

[HockeyVirus]

No urgency? They had 6 shots...

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Games 5-7 the Leafs stars stats drop off a f***ing cliff. Sens have a shot here.

 

[AvroArrow]

Which is your opinion and that’s fine. The league disagrees with your opinion, as do I. These two situations are not comparable.

I don't wanna put words in your mouth, so I'll ask you instead of assuming.

Do you think it is legal to elbow your opponent in the head, if you are standing still and your opponent is skating towards you ?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

People are grasping. Haha more people trying to convince themselves the Leafs weren’t the first team to have an elimination game.


See ya Tuesday.

 

[Dubi Doo]

While it would be funny if the Leafs lost this series. I just don't see it. They looked like the better team for most of game 4.

It was clearly a missed call, but not nearly as bad as Leaf’s fans are trying to make it seem (hence why no hearing). Also a sad excuse to be blaming this on why they lost the game.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

As someone who was in the stands last night, I just want to commend the Leafs fans (and Sens fans) for a friendly and collegial atmosphere, at least in my area of the rink.

Lots of cheering and chanting but it was good-spirited.

As someone who goes to quite a few Leaf-Sens games in Ottawa, what you do notice is that a good half or more of the Leaf fans there are going to the games with their Sens fans friends and family. We have a lot of Leaf and Habs fans in the region.

So you see a lot of mixed groups, and mostly friendly ribbing.

Yup,

It's completely different in real life vs. on forums between Sens and Leafs fans.

We get along great, respect each other, wish each other the best.

Sens fans compliment the Leafs for having a great, exciting team (without even mentioning the "accept in the playoffs" thing)

And Leafs fans have always been amazed what Ottawa has been able to do with a strict budget, as far as drafting and developing players.

Basically I'm saying there is mutual respect in real life between Sens and Leafs fans. You go online or listen to talk radio and those people are so out of touch with reality in my experience, better off tuning all that crap out. I love hanging out with Sens fans.

What? l was told we're all trouble makers when we visit your arena.

Well said, I’ve had similar experiences as well for the most part.

I’ve periodically run into a bad apple, but that person is usually drunk,

 

[NyQuil]

I guess you guys are slipping.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Ottawa pulls an epic reverse sweep comeback to ruin the Leafs forever.

It didn't ruin any other teams when it happened to them.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I said leafs in 6. If it gets to 7, Ottawa will win. Leafs forget how to play in G7s.

The Sens have never won a game 7, so perhaps it would be perpetual overtime.

I like both these teams too.....We're lucky to get to see these teams play 82 games a year....Obviously i'm more partial to T.O. because of childhood reasons but i still like Ottawa.......Too much Sat Night HNIC in the 80's as a litle kid (before Ottawa was back in the League) from Maple Leaf Gardens to cheer against T.O.

 

[Summer Rose]

The longest known professional hockey game was finally decided in 8OT. Maybe if this series goes 7, and game 7 hits 9OT, they just cancel the series and boot both teams out of the playoffs.

Yes, that is possible. The Leafs haven’t won a game 7 since like 1994 ( or there abouts) and the Sens have never won one)

** just checked. It was 2002. Vs the Senators **

 

[Summer Rose]

Yes, that is possible. The Leafs haven’t won a game 7 since like 1994 ( or there abouts) and the Sens have never won one)

So what happens when the stoppable force hits the immovable object?

The 80's were a special time to start watching hockey. l saw the Good Friday brawl as it happened live on TV. What a time.
