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

[Strangle]

Seeing as the Leafs are such huge choke artists and the Sens won every game this year, would be absolutely embarrassing anything less than a sweep win. They are better in every way but stars who vanish right? Shouldn't be close. Leafs are really the under dogs

This should be a piece of cake for those senators super stars

Lots of Sens fans and Leafs haters in here looking for some validation and respect. I just want to say that I see you, guys. I see you and acknowledge you. There's love for you here if you're looking for it.

Let's have a great series together.

At least the bruins fans are left out in the cold on this one.

You say that with uninviting arms though, but I’ll bite

Nope, it’ll definitely be a close series. Anyone acting like either teams is going to steam roll is overly confident with head in the sand or just trolling

All joking aside, when the leafs win the cup it will make this grown man right here cry

 

[Golden_Jet]

we love Gary Roberts, you know that right?

How can you not like Gary Roberts, was able to come back and resurrect his career, when it might have been over.

Would be a lot of grown men in this thread crying that is for sure

Hopefully he learned a thing or two on how to do that from watching Matthews at 4 Nations and the last 7 years.

They have been doing a lot of watching the last 7 years

Why do the Leafs have an almost identical record to Ottawa’s since December 1st if every line and pairing they have is better than Ottawa’s counterpart?

Since TDL Toronto played nonPO teams 9 times, Ottawa 13 times. Tor has little bit better record.

 

[Relapsing]

Best matchup possible for the leaf's, can't wait for the home and home and home

What, did you learn to stop counting at 3?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This definitely is the most confident fanbase we’ve played in the HFBoards era. Rangers fans in 2012/2017, Habs in 2013/2015, Boston in 2017…I don’t think it ever got to this point lmao.

He means the games in Ottawa will have so many leaf fans that every game will be a home game for Toronto

Well that’s hard to say really, unless you look at the standings for every day since TDL, as teams move up and down over the 1/4 season.

We do this banter every year, it’s fun to get the chirping going

2017, eh? Ouch

Oh I dunno. I wouldn't call watching one extra week and change of Matthews in the post season exactly a lot. Maybe he learned what not to do?

If that's not the most passive aggressive post ever...

Ehhh, I’ve done worse

I don’t remember Brady winning the game for the US at 4 nations, either
