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

[Strangle]

Marner is going to turn heads this year in the playoffs and Willy is well, Willy.

Ottawa has to surprise game one and hopefully throw a couple Sens’ing wins to push it to seven.

The “Would you rather Tkachuk or Marner” debate is going to be seen on the ice.

I want to bring back the Stutzle vs Matthews argument

This is gonna be fun, friends

I don’t want a series thread ban, good luck to everyone

They are wild card #2 and needed to go on the best run they’ve had in years just to squeak into a wild card spot at all.

If they didn’t hit their late season run like the sabers manage to do every year they’d be sitting at home right now.

Wildcard teams aren’t exactly bragging about their resounding success during the season, are they?

Going on a hot streak to finish the season is the exact opposite of limping into the playoffs.

Limping into the playoffs is what New Jersey is doing, not the Sens.

This Senators thread is crushing the other series for posts.

If they’ve had such a great year, why aren’t they top 3 in their division?

Life is not a dictionary, it’s a thesaurus

That's the kind of divorced-from-reality, nonsense reply I expect from someone who cheers for the Leafs

Sad you had to explain that.

Welcome to Toronto

Hypothetically if the Sens win the series can we finally shed the little brother moniker? Daddy sounds much better

When you guys stop gettin over run by leaf fans in your own building you can lose the lil bro tag

Since ya'll talking about avatars, I take pride in having the best avatar from the best game ever.

Megaman is no Super Mario Bros 3.

This playoff thread on HF is by far the most active. Over 1K posts already! Let the hate flow

One series win won't keep them out of Ottawa's barn.

Buddy, you and I both know we’re not making it to the end of this series.

It’s so true … I just really don’t wanna lose access to the series thread.

Honestly, it’s happened a lot and it sucks. It’s a HUGE punishment (but always well deserved).

The mods do a good job

You don’t listen to a lot of Lupe Fiasco, I guess

Ok.

Gotta love that video quality. Pre-HD was a trip.

Don’t you worry. We are in the process of remastering it.

 

[SpezDispenser]

So he’s a slightly above average offensive dman in Ottawa that has overachieved because of the powerplay.

Where have I seen this story before?

Holy crap...this is a horrific take lol. His strength isn't even the powerplay. Way to know your opponent.

EDIT: Nor is he an offensive D-man. You haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

 

[Strangle]

What legend is going to redo this for 2025? Best hype video of all time

Most of the posts seem to be talking about how great the Leafs are so not sure I would call it a Senators thread

 

[MCR74]

Don’t you worry. We are in the process of remastering it.

I just hope our fans continue the tradition of flooding the arena in Kanata.

 

[koyvoo]

Sens fans are good people. I don't foresee anything getting personal. This is kind of like brothers fighting

It’s more like this in here

3rd in league PP scoring for Defensemen, surpassed only by Makar and Q. Hughes (Hughes is ahead by a point).

It's been 48 years since the Leafs won a cup, the longest active drought in the NHL.

That's what, like, 3 times your lifetime?

Do you wish to adjust your bullshit argument? These are the records since December 1st.

There's a lot of points separating Toronto from Ottawa, as you see.
