GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 - Playoffs edition

[CapspaceKiller]

The leafs will be the only team to actually challenge this team, f***ing so annoying

 

[saffronleaf]

Another night, another dominant Tampa win. What's new?

 

[Burnie97]

Well... Tampa came back. Shocker....

I think Colorado is going to smoke them still though. They just look too good.

Leafs got ousted by the recent 2 time cup winner and 3 peat cup finalist though. At least they got beat by the team in the east that made it there.

And yeah I know... no consolation prize.

I think Tampa will win. Vasi vs Kemper is no contest. And they match up pretty well in terms of skaters.

It is the Leafs but until they got those 2 high sticking penalties I thought we might actually sleigh the beast. The I realized the hockey Gods love to f*** with us.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Point being out for Tampa doesn’t matter much when Kadri is likely out for Colorado. They’re pretty even otherwise besides the goaltending. I’d bet on Vasi over Keumper any day.

So we should pass on Kuemper? What goalie can beat Vasi?? None.

Leafs beat these guys 3 times.

Just didn't have a Stamkos to step up in the deciding game.

Tampa this year, Montreal last year... Boston made it to the cup finals when we were up 4-1 in game 7.

It seems like the Leafs bless the other teams when they shake hands

Didn’t have a clutch goaltender to allow less than 2 goals either

Is your avatar the dog from Married with Children?

 

[keonsbitterness]

Yup, hockey teams age in dog years. The leafs are middle aged at this point.

Absolutely pathetic. We're going to have to put this deficient dog down at some point.

That point is a year from now for me. Can't have another playoff dud with no consequences.

You actually need a goalie to throw a SO.

 

[garce]

Nope my very own Jake who is snoring 6 feet away as I type

 

[htpwn]

First true best-on-best Cup Final in awhile, IMO. COL and TB are easily the two best teams in the NHL this year.

Sadly... I think a strong argument could be made that we were the third-best. Really sucks.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tampa is 13-1 in their last 14 playoff home games

We're that 1! We're that 1!

Vasilevskiy is the favourite for his 2nd Conn Smythe ..

"Defense wins Championships"

Well I don’t see Nick Paul busting in and scoring twice on Vasi, may not be totally Campbells fault but elite goaltending makes those saves

 

[Nineteen67]

Tampa can’t afford to throw away any games against Colorado and expect to win. Hopefully Point will be back and he gets up to speed in a hurry so they can play their game.

 

[Menzinger]

Tampa in 6 vs the Avs.

That said, hope it goes to triple overtime in game 7

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Yeah you go down 0-2 vs the Avs and you're likely done.

I hope both Point and Naz are back for a true best on best

 

[Cleetus]

I think the SC Final will be a fun watch at least....

 

[kb]

We have to wait until Wednesday!? Jesus.

Did I miss something? What 1st round pick did they trade?

It sucks that as soon as we finally rebuilt the NHL adopts this stupid divisional format and we get stuck in a division with a dynasty team.

But then again, we lost to Montreal and Columbus so the excuses are hollow. This team this year was better than the Leafs teams that lost to those guys though. We were good, just couldn’t get it done as usual when it was right there for the taking. Sigh

 

[Mess]

The cream always rises to the top and Tampa Bay is such a strong and well built team.
