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

[Strangle]

We need an over under on the # of bans by the end of the series

I won’t be banned, but I’m hoping my like button survives game 1

Look who you cheer for. Yeeesshh! I'm not calling other people cringe. I just said the nickname "Beast Mode Cowboys" is cringe. If you tried reading for once. You'd notice I had good things to say about Tkachuk and Sanderson.

No, he's right. The Sens or their fans have never done anything stupid, certainly not the shirtless hunk with the sword and shield who delivered a nice pre-game ceremony. It was so bad, the players couldn't contain themselves. Second place goes to the failed Jason Spezza rally on Parliament Hill.

Watch it or I'll call the Senatron on you

There's no way in hell this guy gets laid free of charge. Wow.

There's no way in hell this guy gets laid free of charge. Wow.

Shows what you know, he's actually your real Daddy.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

There's no way in hell this guy gets laid free of charge. Wow.

cause he’s the one getting paid amirite

 

[MCR74]

I thought he was Stutzle's.

 

[HockeyVirus]

What if I told you that the Sens also retooled into a physical cycling team, and that anything prior to this season, heck prior to this series, was irrelevant for both sides?

I would answer the Senators are behind in that process compared to the Leafs. Leafs were ahead of them, they tried to skill their way to a cup failed and realized it had to change. Slowly started replacing players.

Leafs are filled to the brim with guys with deep playoff run experience and cups.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

There's no way in hell this guy gets laid free of charge. Wow.

You’re right. He charges a hefty price.

 

[FerrisRox]

Probably the good players? Not the AHL fodder?

This is an embarrassing take.

Sanderson would easily be the best defenseman on the Maple Leafs. The guy is an absolute stud.

 

[MCR74]

cause he’s the one getting paid amirite

If he's getting paid for anything, there's definitely something wrong.

Enough of this or I'll call his arch nemesis the Spartan

What you don't know is that its Ryan Reynolds under the helmet.

 

[FerrisRox]

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?

I suspect Mitch Marner is afraid of all of them.

I suspect Mitch Marner is afraid when the coach raises his voice.

I suspect Mitch Marner is afraid of lightning storms.

I suspect Mitch Marner is afraid of going to bed without a night light.

But for the rest of the team, your point stands.

Filled to the brim? Don't they have like 3 cup winners on the team? Ottawa has just as many (Perron, Amadio, Cousins).

They do have a lot more playoff experience in terms of total games played.

And that's fine, I would hope they do at this point.

I can see Knies having his way with that soft as butter Ottawa blueline.

I hope he charged Melnyk plenty to degrade himself like that.

 

[SlapJack]

We didn’t pity you for a minute. We didn’t think about you at all

Too busy complaining about what went wrong *insert any of the last 8 years here*

 

[FerrisRox]

Loretnz and Ekman-Larsson won the Cup last spring.

I hope he turns it on. The kid has serious potential.

How many times have the sens made it to the playoffs in 8 years?

How many rounds have Stutzle, tkchump won in their careers?

Here’s the rub my man …. The leafs have had trouble beating the bostons and floridas and tampas (and a Cinderella Montreal). Most of those teams made a cup final or won the Stanley cup.

Ottawa had an embarassing failure of an entire season last year. High hopes and this team SHIT THE BED so hard, you fans should have been calling for players heads.

This year you limp into the playoffs, impressing nobody because your team still somehow underperformed their moderate expectations and you think they’re ready to go to war with a leafs team who has been through the battles with team 10x better than you?

The Leafs were birthed into this type of series, and have been through the hell that this sens team couldn’t begin to understand.

Good luck, you sens are gonna need it

you're right, we're very sorry we made the playoffs.
