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

[HockeyVirus]

Reaves being called up changes everything

He isn't seeing the ice but will be there for the locker room vibes

 

[le_sean]

You seem lazy always wanting others to do your math. Like a teacher handing out assignments. You better hope your sens aren't as lazy as you.
So i'll be waiting... like waiting for Gadot, for you to do your own research

I did mine tkachuk's and stutzle's

You seem to be avoiding responding because the answer isn’t convenient to you. Because everyone knows the answer and it’s f***ing hilarious.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I understand you’re new to this but Sunday night and Monday when this thread opens up again and the game 1 GDT closes …… there will be a lot more than that going on in here lol

Not new to any of this.

But appreciate the good will behind your input

 

[Masked]

That doesn't always matter though. When Ottawa was #2 seed and Toronto was #7 seed, Ottawa got swept despite being better at almost everything then too.

One difference with that Senators team is Yashin gave up since he'd already been paid for the year. I doubt the Leafs have anyone who will pull that nonsense.

Leafs in 3.

 

[Enga Olly]

Tkachuk and Stutzle are undefeated in the NHL playoffs.

THat wasn't your question.

I don't do your bidding, you asked the questions matthews/marner's points and winning percentage in game sevens, i simply said why don't you do the research and the math, since you seem to have a point to make but are unwilling to do a little bit of work to prove your point.

Do the work lazy bones.

 

[NyQuil]

That wasn't your question.

They are undefeated in Game 7s in the NHL playoffs.

I mean, the Leafs are carried by the same core that have failed them for 8 years now, so I’m not sure why this year would be any different. Some better D and goalies, but their problem in last years playoffs was that they couldn’t score, and I’m not sure how that has been fixed?

The Sens are carried by the same core who couldn't get to the post-season until now.

Ah I see what you did there! Yes, that’s true, but they don’t have that awful playoffs ghost hovering over them like with Marner and crew, so I think it’s a bit different

No. They have the ghost of not being able to make it at all. Some act like the Sens will just turn on a switch and the series is over.

Ottawa in 6, Toronto and their fanbase is in for a rude awakening with Brady and Linus carrying the load

 

[Epictetus]

You’ll be back on the bandwagon soon enough, brother.

We will drag you kicking and screaming if we have to! GET IN BRO! WE’RE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS TO KILL THE OTTAWA SENATORS!

I wish I could man. Just seen it too many times. I would LOVE to be wrong.

 

[SensontheRush]

The Sens are carried by the same core who couldn't get to the post-season until now.

Things have changed. New owner, new GM, new coach. All things that have been dragging the Sens down.

The Leafs lose every year in the playoffs because Matthews and Marner refuse to show up or actually put in the effort to succeed. Why should we expect any different this year?

Marner already has one foot out the door.

 

[Sensin5]

As a Leaf fan, I just have no faith. Been here too many times with these players.

Congrats Ottawa and I look forward to seeing the ridicule from other fan bases.

I feel for honest non trolling fans who have had their souls crushed so many times. We have all been there.

Here's hoping for a truly exciting and entertaining series.

Things have changed for the Leafs too. New coach, upgraded D, two solid goaltenders and a better system. This won't be the cakewalk Sens fans think it is.

About time Tkachuk actually gets his team out of the basement. His captaincy has been a joke so far. No other team would give him the C.

Yes, you've rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. That's my point.

 

[Dirty Mind]

I want the Sens to win but even the biggest Leafs haters have to grudgingly admit the Leafs look primed for a run this year. 52 wins and 108 points, looking legitimately scary.

I think if the Leafs don’t make at least the Conference finals, it will be because they were barely outlasted in a very hard-fought 7-game war of attrition to one of the Florida teams.

This feels like a playoff experience year for the Sens. Sucks it has to be against this Leafs team though.

 

[MCR74]

As opposed to the Sens chairs of no playoff experience?

Describe the differences in 2 systems then, and why one is better.

To be fair.....they were missing Nylander and Matthews for half the series & almost won with f*cking samsanov. All for blaming the big boys but they weren't the only issue last year.

Now leafs have much better goaltending, better coach, better D and overall tougher team to play against. This ain't the Dubas leafs no more

One is the division champ. Berube must be doing something right.

Lol, so you can’t describe the systems, FYI points isn’t a system.

 

[MCR74]

Lol, so you can’t describe the systems, FYI points isn’t a system.

I'll take Berube's playoff record over Green's any day. Anyone with half a functioning brain would.

And then Marner barely plays his man Pastrnak as he blasts by him to score the OT series-wining GWG.

The big boys ARE the problem. They have still yet to prove they aren't.

Stolarz, Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Knies and JT all say Hi.
