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

[umma gumma]

The number of games it will take the Leafs to eliminate your team?

Duh! Walk in the park.

 

[Connor MethDavid]

This sounds like something I’d read on r/relationshipadvice

"But then he used my tape without asking, so I knocked his water bottle over. He told me I hurt his feelings, but I said I didn't care. Am I overreacting?"

 

[Auston Marlander]

Let me see if I can parse this out.

1. It’s copium if we say the Leafs are better.

2. We are out of touch with reality if we say the Sens are better.

You guys spend wayyyyy too much time worrying about what we think.

It’s flattering I guess.

I dunno man, you are in every single main board Leafs thread I can recall. I get it, they are the biggest, most important team. But some self awareness goes a long way.

 

[Strangle]

Thanks. Please accept this Knies gif as a token of my appreciation.

I’m in pretty much every single main board thread.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Knows about as much about winning as the Leafs do.

58 years!

Lol. You think that matters? Hockey is a what have you done lately sport. Beyond the last few years it's all irrelevant.

I come to visit this thread every 4 hours or so and it's always 5 additional pages and the same 3-5 avatars.

Ottawa hasn't won in like 100 years...

Year after year, it's the same outcome for the Leafs but for some reason their fans get back up like nobody else saw them fall. Sens in 5

 

[Golden_Jet]

Wow that one poster is struggling, brings nothing to the thread, but creepy sexist male gifs,

I might have to hit the ignore button for the first time in 20 years, if that keeps up.

Edit: lol, looks like mods stepped in before I posted this, only one left now.

On goaltending, I guess the question is what matters more. One goalie has zero playoff experience but has been a top three goaltender statistically all season. Another goalie has playoff experience but it's all bad, including a loss to the team he's about to face off against.

There's more evidence that Ullmark will be bad in the postseason than Stolarz will be. Conversely, we've no idea how Stolarz will look as the starter in the playoffs but I'd say no evidence either way is better than evidence that shows a historically poor performance.

This is the exact same argument that has been going on with Tkachuk and Marner.

One has zero playoff experience and the other has poor playoff experience.

I picked Ottawa in 6 cuz I was feelin froggy

Realistically the Leafs should put a bow on this in 5 though

 

[MCR74]

im not sure the fan of the team who hasn't been in the ayoffs since 2018 has much to say.

Oh they have plenty to say, most of it delusional.

There are 3 leafs fans in here doing their best impression of:

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Damn, I'm seeing a lot of nervous scared Leaf fans in this thread. Never thought I'd see the day where they're sweating over playing the Sens. I can't imagine the players are feeling great about playing Ottawa either.

Jesus, I wonder how much I had to drink that night. Maybe my wife is right about laying off.

Your username is fantastic btw

This core cannot survive an embarrassment like losing to the Ottawa senators

Win-win for leaf fans
