It's good to have dreams

The one I can’t stand the most from the dangle-verse is the chubby guy with the radio strip-club DJ voice

Dangle stumbled onto some kind of secret sauce and got internet famous. Its all an act. But it seems to work.. somehow.

I can't stand him or his gimmick

The guy is a douche.
I glance in once in a while to see what he has to say and honestly I can't tell the difference between when they lose or when they win the way he rants.
He makes most non leaf fans happy that they are not.

 

[Summer Rose]

He makes his living off this how on earth do you feel sorry for him?

Well, at the end of the day he’s a human being with his own feelings. I don’t like seeing people suffering regardless of who they are.

 

[jbeck5]

All of that is fair. I also thank you for reminding me how home ice is determined in the conference finals as well, because I had forgotten that.

No worries. I agree that I'm nitpicking lol

 

[Summer Rose]

Don’t worry about it either. I like a pedantic argument here and there and it’s all in good fun.

 

[jbeck5]

The reason I didn’t say WC1 is because there was no wildcard in the Canadian division at the time.

So to use the same language of seeding makes the comparable easier to understand for the reader.

8th seed meaning - last playoff spot
7th seed meaning - 2nd last playoff spot

If you say blew a lead to an 8th seed and a wc2 team you’re mixing up terminology. When you start the comparison with one unit of measurement you should stay consistent throughout the comparison.

I actually don’t think Montreal was even an 8th seed. I think technically they were 4th. But they finished 18th overall, and were the equivalent of an 8th seed. Same with Ottawa being equivalent to the 7th seed this year

Right, but under that old method of 1-8, Ottawa is actually a 6th seed.

 

[Sensin5]

I don't worry too much about it lol

As they say, "stuff" happens.

 

[Strangle]

Right, but under that old method of 1-8, Ottawa is actually a 6th seed.

But the 2 seed (Toronto) doesn’t play the 6th seed . So they’re the 7th seed

We are talking about seeding and brackets, not where someone finished in the conference

If you were to write out this year’s brackets and add a seed number from 1-8 in the eastern conference how would you number them that would make sense?

Its literally his job. Way worse things are happening than your favorite hockey team in which you have 0 impact on isnt winning.

If you're doing a blend of old and new style,

I'd put the two division winners at 1 and 2, and then the 3-8 by points.

But isn't the goal to say that the Leafs lost to lesser teams...so wouldn't where they rank overall be more important?

They're 12th in the NHL. They're better than almost 2/3 of the NHL.

 

[LiseL]

Yep. I called it before the series started.

Series Talk: Post in thread '[A1] Toronto Maple Leafs vs [WC1] Ottawa Senators (TOR Leads 1-0)'

Apr 19, 2025

I've been watching all the series previews, and I find it interesting that almost nobody is even talking about the Sens' best player. All they seem to want to talk about is Tkachuk.

• swiftwin

Literally nobody paid any attention to Ottawa. All the media wanted to talk about was Tkachuk, Stutzle and Ullmark.

Even today, people are like "oh, yeah, I guess Sanderson pretty good, but leafs leafs leafs, core 4, ullmark, tkachuk".

He's putting the team on his back right now. Shades of 2017 Karlsson. He leads any skater in time on ice in this series by a huge Margin.

TOI/GP
27:21 Sanderson
24:42 Chabot
23:32 Zub
22:58 Marner
22:28 McCabe

Yes, Sandy, our secret weapon, ssshhhhhhh.

Yes I am, because I am comparing the seeding from two different playoffs with different divisions and different playoff rules.

That’s why I used a metric that was very easy for everyone to follow. 2 seed plays 7 seed and 1 seed plays 8 seed.

You’re trying really hard to not understand that

The seeding matters less than the points though. What point were you trying to make...that it's significant...why? Because of the quality of teams, no?

 

[bert]

Oh, really? Like what?

If this is the worst thing thats going on in the world for you. You live a very charmed life that you should be very happy about.

Not if the leafs lose I don’t!

This was fun for a bit but it’s getting old now

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Yes, Sandy, our secret weapon, ssshhhhhhh.

Clearly ottawas best player. If he was playing for Toronto they would be calling him the next neidermayer.

The longer he flies under the radar the better though.

 

[ottawagm]

Does the core 4 mail it in, now that they know they have to play Florida in the second round? Does Brady to avoid playing his brother?

We'll find out tomorrow!

 

[Suntouchable13]

The battle for the right to get swept by Florida in the next round!

 

[Schennanigans]

The battle for the right to get swept by Florida in the next round!

Pretty much lol.

 

[Leaf Fans]

2010 Bruins collapse: lose game 4 in OT, lose game 5 4-0
2025 Leafs so far: lose game 4 in OT, lose game 5 4-0

coincidence or omen...?

So you are thinking Cup in 3 years?

 

[Leaf Fans]

I think you're confusing Molson dry with Labatt 50.

Old people don't want higher alcohol percentage..they want a harsh beer, without the high alcohol...so they go with Labatt 50.

Molson dry is a minimal aftertaste higher percentage alcohol beer.

It was a go-to among high school/college/university students a decade ago before the rise of craft beers/IPA etc.

Before it was, do you want 4% Coors light, Bud light, or corona...do you want 5% Budweiser, blue, or Canadian, and then do you want 5.5-6% dry beers like Molson dry.

I've seen a lot of teenagers and young adults drink Molson dry, but almost never a 50+ year old drink Molson dry.

But take Labatt 50...I've never seen a young person drink it....only old people.


I think the beer you're thinking of is Labatt 50.

I have seen young people drink it. They even pronounced it fitty for some reason.
