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

[Taluss]

Leafs in 6. This will be a fun series. Excited to see what Ottawa can bring into the playoffs

 

[HockeyVirus]

That doesn't sound right. I think what's more likely to happen is Brady is going to start game 1 by repeatedly taking runs at Marner and Matthews, making them regress any "toughness" you think they developed this year. Then the Leafs will try to open up the ice and run into Amadio, Pinto, Grieg, Sanderson, and Zub and won't get anything done. Sens take game 1, Leafs confidence is shot, and HockeyVirus continues to be nervous.

Trembling in my boots at this list of absolute warriors. I may have to re-evaluate the series outcome now

How bleak is the future of the Leafs BTW?

 

[MCR74]

I don't know what this is other than a deeply disturbing peak into what's on your hard drive.

Erik Karlsson after he left Ottawa perhaps?

 

[93gilmour93]

Just listening to tell radio and not 100% but I think this is what we're looking at for the dates of the first four games...

Game 1 - Sunday
Game 2 - Tuesday
Game 3 - Thursday
Game 4 - Saturday

If those are the players they think we should be worried about, we will be just fine

Who do you think you should be worried about on the Sens?

It's okay, you can cut the act. Your fake confidence is so obvious my guy. You better hope for your sake that the Leafs players aren't trying the same fake cockiness that you're going with.

 

[KevinRedkey]

I hope it goes at least 6 games either way, because this will be some darn good hockey to watch.

OTT is certainly coming around, but i think Berube will the Leafs heads on right. Leafs win.

Probably the good players? Not the AHL fodder?

You're another guy too that I can tell is scared. Imagine being scared of the Sens lol. How can you have faith in Toronto to get it done in 4 rounds of hockey when you're nervous for the 1st round matchup against Ottawa lol?

 

[NyQuil]

Probably the good players? Not the AHL fodder?

Which ones?

I think Sanderson is too good for the AHL, personally.

Well, we don't have much for draft picks and only a few notable prospects so in a few years it is indeed bleak.

Not bleak right now though. Leafs are 2nd in the NHL in wins.

What do the Leafs have to be nervous about? What are they 15-2-1 since the TDL? Their starting goalie with 3 shutouts in his last 4 games. Expecting a healthy lineup game 1.

When have the Leafs EVER done that? Usually they are stumbling into the playoffs, not grabbing destiny by the horns and.. doing something to it.

Yikes.

I’m still waiting for him to lead one of his youth teams in scoring. Otherwise I don’t see him being an offensively contributor at higher levels of hockey.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

In 2 months you will be hearing Auston Matthews at the podium holding the cup proclaiming "and a special thanks for Coaches Coroner, for without his posts serving as the wind beneath our wings, none of this would have been possible".

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Sanderson would be the best Leafs dman in the last 50 years of that team, so keep thinking that. I know you don't actually think that though, again with the transparent cockiness. You'll have no choice but to admit it shortly.

This is a brave front you have up here and it's adorable.

Sanderson is really good I will have to give Sens fans that. But I am not worried about him shutting anything down or being some big scary guy in the slightest. He will make smart plays in his own end and move the puck efficiently and put up some points no doubt about that.

The rest of those guys though LOL

 

[NyQuil]

Well, they've been our best line for awhile.

I guess we'll see how they do in the playoffs.

Be honest when I ask you this.

Do you think there is a single Toronto Maple Leafs player that is afraid of Artem Zub?

Do you think there is a single Toronto Maple Leafs player that is afraid of Michael Amadio?

Do you think there is a single Toronto Maple Leafs player that is afraid of Shane Pinto?

Do you think there is a single Toronto Maple Leafs player that is afraid of Ridley Greig?

Truthfully. Think about this. Nylander is rushing the pick up ice and in front of him he sees one or two of these guys. Do you think he’s scared? Afraid in any sense?

It doesn't matter man. Ottawa's been playing great hockey too, I'm sure you're well aware of that. You know it deep down, and now you're trying to convince me of your confidence. The true sign of a confident person, when they try to convince other people how confident they are lol.
