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

[Chaos2k7]

These comments make me laugh. I promise you, no one has more bulletin board material than the Leafs. Any trash we talk has been returned 100 fold

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, rinse and repeat I guess.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, rinse and repeat I guess.

Coaching, build of the team, way they play are all difference makers right now. Plus guys with a lot to prove and no contract

 

[umma gumma]

What are these sens fans going to do if the Leafs don't choke? Like the Leafs lost to CBJ and Montreal as they love to point out. So their team is even worse than those groups? Yikes

Ummm...you guys are supposed to win.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Does making bold claims and then getting called out for the rest of every postseason ever get old for you?

Apparently not.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Maybe both fanbases could cool their jets until actual games are played?

These two fanbases f***ing despise each other man, neither one's going to agree to a ceasefire.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Maybe you need to remembered Ulmark playoff carreer stats?

0,887% sv
3,59 gaa
3 win 6 lost

and then, look at Stolarz’s career playoff stats.

 

[HabsQC]

Whoever plays the Leafs will win in 7 in a dramatic fashion.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Ummm...you guys are supposed to win.

What does that say about your rebuild if you can't even beat choke artists? Even the Habs and CBJ could do that

 

[The Shadow]

The more I think about it, there's no way Toronto comes out on top in this series. All those years of playoff experience just taught them is that they are losers. They know they can't win; like they're in the mix of all time greatest chokers at this point. And they think they've solved this by adding 30 minutes of playoff experience in net.

It's crazy how all the pundits are picking them, are they blind?

Just quoting so we have a record of this

 

[The Shadow]

Sunday cannot come soon enough. It’s going to be a rough series

and then, look at Stolarz’s career playoff stats.

every goalie having somethimg to prove

If we watch regular season in general: Ulmark having the edge because bruins historical season where he won the Vezina... but struggling in playoff

if we watch only this season : Stolarz have the edge but no playoff experience

if we watch past playoff succes : Woll having the edge but had been pretty inconsistant all season long

 

[cyris]

and then, look at Stolarz’s career playoff stats.

10 games with multiple starts vs 34 mins in relief

What l don't get is the Sens having no playoff experience is a good thing, but the reverse applies to Stolarz.

They lost close series to teams with a history of winning/going far in the playoffs in many of those years. Losing to BOS/TB/FLA isn't akin to losing to the WC1 team after finishing first in the Atlantic.

They did choke in 2021 against MTL. I guess we'll find out if they're really chokers or if that was a one-off.



If they're chokers, they're not on the level of the '99 to '07 Sens in that regard. How many times was OTT the best or second-best team in the East during that span?

07 Sens played more playoff rounds of hockey in a single season then Toronto ever has. Or ever will

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Leafs are born to choke, I don't think they have big boy pants to put on here

 

[SlapJack]

If this is the case, then there would never be examples of players with these labels over coming them. You are a loser until you aren't

You're kidding

 

[SlapJack]

I don't expect other fans to have watched us. They think we are the same. It will be clear soon this team is serious

This serious team is seriously behind a half dozen other teams in the playoffs this year. They're going to fail just like always, on cue, on schedule, and will still sign Marner to a ridiculous contract after. They're not that good, I've seen them lots.

l've also seen your team lots, and they're nothing special either.

Won the Atlantic but not that good?

 

[MCR74]

Won the Atlantic but not that good?

That means nothing compared to 6th in the conference.

 

[Leaf Fans]

A few pages back I said every forum has a buzzkill poster. Wanna guess who it is?

Not really.

 

[MCR74]

Not really.

He trashes the Leafs as much as possible, and it's not TWS.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Taking Toronto in 6.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Sunday cannot come soon enough. It’s going to be a rough series

Things we need in order to beat the Sens:

- Dedication
- Medication
- Fornication in a Constipation Situation
