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

[peconcan]

So stupid we won’t know the schedule until late Thursday night/Friday morning. Any predictions on when it starts?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Just in time for the regression phase!

Not this year. This team is just clearly built different. They are legit. You have no idea what is coming

 

[PromisedLand]

Leafs win it in game 6 in front of a home crowd.

I think you have a typo there man. Its Leafs win it in 4 games in front of a HOME crowd

 

[Leaf Fans]

It will be a tough series. I am looking forward to it.

[Gil Gunderson]

Does the regular season matter? I'm getting mixed messages.

It only matters if you win the divison unfortunately.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

And your point is.............?

Is your point that it's alive again? I don't understand.

You sit in the lower bowl, don't you?

 

[TheGreenTBer]

With the Giroux adjusted stats, this series is a Sens win, no brainer

oh f*** i forgot about this

we screwed

 

[Gil Gunderson]

At least Nick Cousins is healthy

 

[PromisedLand]

I see you and raise you

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I just hope both sides have fun.

 

[Face Of Bear]

That says a lot about the lack of success of the Leafs in the playoffs

yes, against everyone but the sens!

It only matters if you win the divison unfortunately.

I take the division win with a grain of salt. Nobody really cares. So you can throw out the regular season series. It literally does not matter anymore. When you look at the rosters and playoff experience, Leafs should win. Leafs can not lose to this team and then pretend everything is fine and just run it back again.

 

[The Shadow]

Stolarz looking incredible right now. it’s going to be fun to watch

 

[PromisedLand]

This is how things ended last time the Leafs and Sens met in the first round after Ottawa swept the regular season series.



Don’t be too cocky based on the regular season is all I’m saying.

I just got sent this from a time machine and..........

 

[NyQuil]

I see you and raise you

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Honestly, I don't even know why Leaf fans would care so much. The last playoff matchup we had was over twenty years ago. There must be a ton of great playoff memories they've made since then.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Unfortunately I think the Leafs take this series; too much talent and better goaltending than in years past. With that said, Ottawa will not go down without a fight. I have them as my dark horse; which means they won’t be a pushover.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Not this year. This team is just clearly built different. They are legit. You have no idea what is coming

Neither do you, you are our resident troll, and I appreciate your enthusiasm.

But holy shit, you must be newish to this Leafs thing, or you just literally have no fear...

Or maybe you accepted the fear and have overcome it with sarcasm...........

Hmmm.....

Love you and everyone in this thread that is pumped for the battle of Ontario.

 

[Czechboy]

What an amazing first round.. battle of Florida, AVS vs stars and this beaut!

I said sens in 7 based on conspiracy theories and not using any meaningful stats.

Shame two Canadian teams have to play each other.

 

[Roo]

I predict very long threads. Many, many pages with respectful level-headed posts.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Banger of a f***ing series, this rivalry is the equivalent of the Devils Rangers to a lesser degree (bias cause I'm a devils fan)

No other way the Sens should've returned than a series v the Leafs, should be amazing.

 

[MardyBum]

Leafs in 7. The infractions on here are gonna be wild

 

[The Shadow]

Unfortunately I think the Leafs take this series; too much talent and better goaltending than in years past. With that said, Ottawa will not go down without a fight. I have them as my dark horse; which means they won’t be a pushover.

Why is that unfortunate?

 

[SensFactor]

Gonna be a great series after 21 years.

I picked Sens in 7 but Leafs are due to make a long run and Sens are just happy to be here.
