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

[HockeyVirus]

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

Jake McCabe, unironically, likely the most under rated dman in the NHL. If you poll other fan bases what he is, do you think he scores higher than a #4/5 by most?

In reality he is a #2

 

[umma gumma]

There is some serious impotent flexing going on.

A lot of smack being bandied about by fans of two organizations that haven't proven anything in the last little while; they have one post season victory between them in the last 7 years. Seeing as some have to go back 20+ years for material that's a might mighty low bar.

 

[NyQuil]

I mean the same can be said for the Leafs never making it out of the first round - that was the bar and even when they got over it people still default to the same schtick.

Sure, but what happened the year after they made it into the second round?

 

[X66]

One thing I was able to dig up and think that Sens and Leafs fans will find common ground on is - tonight they are Hurricane Fans and tomorrow they are Blue Jackets fans.

I’m sorry I cannot elaborate any further.

 

[Golden_Jet]

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

I don’t know, just ask your fans when the talk of 20-25 years stops, and you’ll get your answer.

Cool, I look forward to you calling out other people that bring up 1967 and similarly outdated insults.

Better then Salming is wild. Thread jumping the shark already lol

Yes, I know he’s a good d-man.

He’s not better than Sanderson like someone in this thread suggested lmao.

 

[Korpse]

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.

Is that even as many as Luke Schenn circa 2010? I remember Erik Karlsson didn’t have as many.

 

[LivingRentFree]

I don’t know, just ask your fans when the talk of 20-25 years stops, and you’ll get your answer.

No no, I’m asking you. I see a lot of Sens fans in here talking about their big* 2017 run being some sort of accomplishment to be wary of.

I actually think this is the most calm/humble youll find leaf fans lol.

Of course we’re going to support our team but we’ve lost basically every single way possible, the only thing we haven’t done is lose after being up 3-0 in series.

Leafs have lost as:

Underdogs
Favourties
On home ice in game 7
On the road in game 7
OT series loss
Lost a series up 3-2
Lost a series up 3-1
Loss when leading in 3rd period of game 7

Yeah lol

 

[NyQuil]

I think your sarcasm detector is on the fritz.

 

[SharksFan1992]

The Leafs should win this series, but then again their 2021 series vs the Habs was supposed to be a slam dunk, too.

Not allowed to talk about previous seasons because they don't matter.

No I fully understand the thread has turned into shit posting. Hence my jumped the shark comment.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Yes, I know he’s a good d-man.

He's not even close to the same type of dman as Sanderson. Almost completely opposite player builds. McCabe is tough as nail, built like a brick shit house. No one is cycling against him.

Why? Is the Smack Fairy going to strike the bigger shit talker down with a vengeance? Do you have a pair of lucky underwear too? That's what these threads are for. Talk that shit boys.

I'm personally not putting much stock into what the Leafs core did when they were 22 years old

 

[Sniper99]

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.

Beast Mode Cowboys? Jesus I cant imagine Tkachuk and Sanderson would love to know their Sens fan called them that. Holy cringe.

 

[REALTALK81]

In theory, this should be relatively easy for the Leafs. This is the Leafs though so I expect a massive series out of guys like Pinto. Can almost guarantee he will Nick Paul one of the games in Senators favor. Leafs can't take this hungry Ottawa team lightly. If they do, they are toast.

 

[NyQuil]

Beast Mode Cowboys? Jesus I cant imagine Tkachuk and Sanderson would love to know their Sens fan called them that. Holy cringe.

You'd better call them up and let them know.

 

[1specter]

Weak. Ours was better

Nah this is pretty trash, calls a few players bad and say the Leafs blow. Not timeless either since it mentions players of that era, whereas 3 Cheers for Ottawa can be played in any time period

Tbf, Sens have had more recent success. Since the Leafs' last ECF in 2002, the Sens have made a SCF in 2007 and an ECF in 2017.

You're gonna talk about cringe while rocking whatever is going on in your avatar? And you're a Leafs fan on top of that? Brutal.

Hockey players aren’t the most observant people, it’s ok.
