Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

Don't forget.... this.... NEVER EVER FORGET THIS -> Dubas ruined the best chance Leafs had to win the cup

They’ve never been close to winning a Cup. They’ve never had a chance, but he’s certainly the type of player you need on your roster.

A 2-1 Leafs regular season would be boring. That had a bit of everything. No passengers on either side.

I expect the series to get nastier. Tkachuk was pretty quiet last night.

The Leafs played three entertaining games this year.

Leafs 7 - Dubas 0 was my favourite.

I liked these.

The Leafs played three entertaining games this year.

Matthews had 6 hatricks and won the Rocket , Marner had that game he wore a bucket and had a hatrick. Nylander have a career year and we had a successful trip to Sweden. We pushed it to overtime in game 7. Maybe it takes alot to entertain you ?

Just watched the final two shots live. Canada lost - that sucks. Blame Tavares captaincy? Looks like Canada didn't show up in period 1

Sammy could have stopped the first goal. Kind of reminded me of the Leafs. Dig themselves a hole. Wake up late in the second. Tie it in the 3rd. Lose in OT.

Yes this was Tavares' fault

Although it was a bad trade, the strategy had to been set ... and it continued to be a bad strategy.

The Leafs were at their 50 contract limit, and wanted to clear up some room. Verhaeghe was one of 5 contracts traded for Grabner. It was less about getting Grabner, and more about just unloading guys they didn't want. Still a bad read on Verhaeghe.

Think we just need to give credits to Verhaeghe to becoming the player he is more than Lou and MGT giving up on him.

JT has been Canada's most productive forward and he scored the game tying goal today.

Dang another ex leaf with a goal, Downtown Connor Brown

 

[MSZ]

Connor Brown scored. Another former Leaf

 

[Nineteen67]

That’s how you play hockey,# 55.

 

[thewave]

Drive to the net. Thats a unicorn around here

Connor Brown scored. Another former Leaf

Gotta make that 1st PO goal since 2018 count for something.

How many souls did Skinner sacrifice to become a competent goalie?

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I don't know what some of you guys see in Dallas. Endless cycles of the puck, back passing, and not shooting when given the opportunity. They are overrated.

He’s been good since game 7of the conference semis but his game can fall off at the drop of a hat.
We’ll see how long he can keep it up.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Leafs 2 - OtherGuys 1

Denis Malgin oops Marchment scores for Dallas

 

[Nineteen67]

Pretty good game. Speed is key.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

For an old vet with a ton of hard miles on him, Tanev sure is a tremendous asset.

 

[Superstar]

Denis Malgin oops Marchment scores for Dallas

Another Dubas special...too much grit for his liking, and not short enough.

 

[MSZ]

A total team effort to shutdown McJesus and Drycycle. Impressive.

 

[TheShape]

Terrible goalie pull

Tanev’s defensive IQ is unmatched.
