Let’s get amped

There's nothing better in life than the female form.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I'm weirdly excited for this series. Sens are gonna be so much energy and the Leafs problems against them are well documented.

I don't really care who wins, but it should be an entertaining one that's for sure and it can push this rivalry to new heights moving forward.

Joe is gonna look great anchoring your 2nd line this playoffs. Someone should probably check for PED's being this good in his late 50's doesn't seem like its legit.

And do you know how much of a creep the dude in your avatar is

He's the og Beast Mode Cowboy!

 

[Peasy]

He's the og Beast Mode Cowboy!

OG Creep sure

Looks like a fantastic series in the making. I voted Toronto in 6 but could easily see the Sens win here. With Travis Green in charge they got a good team there

Haven't read the entire thread, so maybe it's already been discussed... but there is a real possibility that Travis Green is a Manchurian-Candidate-style mole that underwent Leaf-mind training in the early 00's and planted by the powers that be as Sens HC simply so that he could throw this series.

You'll know based on TOI for a certain veteran Sens d-man with a really impressive stache.

Unless you are a wings fan. Main board can be dangerous if you are afraid of heights.

Ain't that the truth. I wish someone would make a greatest hits thread from that place.

Hamonic has incriminating photographs.

 

[Relapsing]

Mentally checkout out? No no no. They are dialed in.

Give me "things leafs fans have said in the past" for $200, Alex

 

[1specter]

I am just happy we get to bring back this banger

 

[93gilmour93]

Yeah for sure! So how many did you get?! Maybe we can meet up and ill buy you 10 beers because of your superior hockey fandom. Where are you sitting?!

Save that beer money for yourself cause you will need it for your own tab to drown those Round 1 sorrows

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

OG Creep sure

You're just pissed because the Leafs don't have any Beast Mode Cowboys on their team. You'll get to witness two in Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson. Those two are Beast Mode Cowboys if I ever done seen some.

 

[Golden_Jet]

So does history matter? Or does it not matter? I’m confused now. You guys flip flop so much it’s hard to keep up.

Apparently it must, as leaf fans constantly bring up series from 20-25 years ago.

How is he doing in Ottawa? When he was in Vancouver and had to justify a loss hed always say 'they got a good team there'

Became a drinking game every time he said it, which with all the losing was frequent..

Weak. Ours was better

They like to stalk women theyre locked in a house with as well?

Travis Green has really helped the team reduce their HDCA and GAA.

DJ Smith was good in the room and was well-liked but Green is more structured and disciplined.

If the performance metric for Green was to make the playoffs this year, he's met that bar.

I wasn't a fan of the signing but it's worked thus far.

One area of contention is his apparent love for Travis Hamonic, who both statistically and by the eye-test, is our worst defenceman.

I think we can fit him in the top 6. Do you think he could go 5 hole on Ullmark from the same spot ?

I have had 8 years to save up my friend. Seeing how its only going to be 4 games I wont have any issues buying rounds for classy fans like you.

 

[HockeyVirus]

6 20 goal scorers
Goalie #1 in sv% and 3rd in GAA
Average size of their D is 6 foot 3 and 200+ pounds

Sens going to be crushed like a bug

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I hope you read the post I was replying to. Because apparently Jake Sanderson is better than Borje Salming.

He is better than Borje Salming. Definitely doesn’t touch the legendary Jake McCabe though.

I think he could probably do it right handed! Gotta give Ully the sieve a chance here cant let him use his natural lefty laser beam.

5 games. Ottawa will win a game

So when does history cut off? Just trying to figure out your fans goal posts here. They keep moving.

I just have standards for calling players better than 50 years of a franchises history, with 23 even strength points. More fans should have standards.
