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

[Monsieur Miz]

Sens in 7 for the memes.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Great matchup, I have Leafs in seven this group looks better positioned for the post season than previous.

Sens not an easy out, they can upset.

 

[Coffee]

Going by the stats the leafs are better goalie wise

good thing we’re not going by stats

 

[Coffee]

And not single f*** will be given

Aren’t they going to watch with you ?

 

[Squiffy]

I generally should not be around other humans, family included, for playoff games. But probably yes lol.. my kids need to see this.

Marner is going to do it this year, you know he is

So we are just going with your feelings then?
Stolarz led the league in save% and was 3rd in GAA.
But sure keep telling yourself you have the better goalie.

No I just mean overall for this argument sake. I don’t think we are going by stats.

Feeling? Sure it’s a toss up. I’m not an Ottawa fan neither am I a Toronto fan.

But the argument you guys were having, there was no agreement to swear by or go by the stats

 

[Bounces R Way]

Thought the Leafs needed to win the Atlantic to win a round and I'll stick with that. Toronto takes this by the skin of their nuts in 7, because they're a team that loves doing things the hard way.

Actually a bit of a win win either way for Leafs fans because if they lose to the brand new owner just made the playoffs for the first time in 7 years Ottawa Senators there's zero chance Shanahan or anyone left in the Shamaclan keeps their jobs.

The stats are the only objective unbiased measure available.
And over the last 2 seasons Stolarz has the clear advantage there.

Honestly the real answer will play out over the next 2 weeks but for now that’s all we really have

Lastly I want to ask

Predictions on Marner? Seems like he’s levelled up even more

I don’t know. Mitch had a great season. But he has had a lot of good seasons. It obviously hasn’t translated to the playoffs every year. Tho as he is the teams leading playoff scorer he isn’t the only one.
So he has a lot to prove.
Could really go either way.

Didn’t expect the boring, play both sides answer from a ‘08 guy. Especially not on a Toronto vs Ottawa round 1 thread at least

I mean after 9 years with this group I can be hopeful but I need to see it before I really believe it.

Well we’ll leave it at that. Thank you sir for a great interview, and good luck to you and your Toronto Maple Leafs.

See you on the flip side

 

[IdleTraveller]

Leafs in 6 or Sens in 7. Rooting for the Sens as I believe that some traditions/curses need to continue , but most likely outcome would be Leafs taking it.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Senators in 7.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Leafs should bring Lalime out to drop the puck for game 1 tbh

 

[TheBeastCoast]

good thing we’re not going by stats

Just go with the vibes then to decide who is better? lol

Cooler vibes prevail

 

[waitin425]

Sens in 6 on home ice. Hilarity ensues.

 

[Strangle]

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[Strangle]

What was the previous most toxic thread?

Probably “who would you rather have? Matthews or Stutzle (contracts included)”

 

[The Shadow]

This is going to be a very entertaining series. The fans are the big winners here

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'm here for what will hopefully be a tremendous series.

Im hoping from the 1st game
