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

[TheBeastCoast]

There will be no summer coverage if it happens. TSN and Sportsnet will make sure that moment gets Trotsky’d from existence.

Also...there is no summer coverage of anything because they all go on vacation in the summer regardless lol

 

[93gilmour93]

Even better, Triple H.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I think that would be news to Colin Jost.
Come on, Eddy is legendary in that regard. Stolarz could hold his beer maybe.
I had University classes with Stolarz, didn't seem like a booze bag and didn't bring ScarJo by.

Belfour was the man.

How can you not love a guy that could pitch a shutout, try to bribe a cop with 1 billion dollars and smile in the mugshot afterwards? The GOAT.

 

[stempniaksen]

If the Sens get one of the first two on the road it's a wrap. Lots of pressure on the Leafs right out of the gate.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Hoping for a Sens victory because I'm petty with the Toronto rivalry but it's gonna be Toronto tho and we all know it.

Season series doesn't mean too much. Because that's regular season hockey. Every dynamic is different in the post-season.

Leafs in 6

Leaf fans stop liking this post. Its some kind of reverse-curse bullshit. We're losing in 5 now.

Being relegated to the desert couldn't have been good for anybody back then. He's been a solid addition.

One of those players that was never bad, but simply overpaid. Raised price = raised expectations = lowered perceived performance.

 

[MCR74]

Agreed, the Coyotes were a gong show for most of our existence.

People gave OEL a hard time because of his big contract. Had I been stuck in Coyote land, I would've demanded that much money too.

 

[93gilmour93]

You can tell Leaf fans are getting nervous in this thread lol.

Is that what it is

This thread already doubled in posts to the Oilers LA one that started waaaay before. Win or lose, this is the thread to be in. Party time. Rest don't matter

This is a fresh matchup involving two fanbases that HATE each other.

You can tell Edmonton and LA fans are bored with this divisional shit at this point.

I miss the days when Tucker would spit at the Sens bench then start a brawl.

Welcome to the center of the hockey universe

Real hockey.

Playoff hockey is about enmity and determination. It has always been. The moment it isn't is the moment I stop watching.

You’re really about to make me actually put Triple H’s music on at 6:30 am

Hell yeah

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

It's both. The defense is not perfect but are very good at cleaning up any rebounds to not allow 2nd/3rd chances AND hold a strong structure that lets them mostly limit high danger chances while blocking tons of shots.

But our goalies have been outstanding as well. Best goaltending the Leafs have had in 20 years easily

And lots of blocked shots.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Is that what it is

Yeah I think you, everyone knows the Leafs have no reason to be confident after how the last few years have gone, and Ottawa is a good team too.

Every game is a home game for the Leafs in the first round...

 

[Coaches Coroner]

If we lose, I will probably delete my account. I don't think I could endure the shame after years of calling Sens fans 'little brother'.

Yup. When the Leafs are winning, expect lots of Leaf fans with little other fans. If the Leafs lose a game, expect every post on the site in here.

 

[FerrisRox]

Because they seem to think as soon as the other team wins a game the Leafs give up and get swept.

And you're saying we don't give up and get swept, we keep trying, and then lose?

That's your big comeback?

That is so sad.

Well you don't need to worry about that. Won't happen

Ottawa is a good team sure but the past is the past and in the here and now, the Leafs will win this series

 

[Coaches Coroner]

To be honest, it's kind of a win either way.
