Toronto, ON
they got 20 million odd in cap space with a bout 7 to 8 players to fill to get to 23 man roster

Swayman will get his money unless he takes less. If they trade Ullmark then they will have 25 million in cap space and thats a different story



Having CN tower in montreal colors was the straw that broke the camel's back for me after losing to zamboni driver and being a complete JOKE against CBJ

that series and the aftermath destroyed me. what a humiliation. it was this decade's version of the "it was 4-1", but somehow even worse given that the 2013 team shouldn't have taken boston to 7 games to begin with.

the leafs choked a 3-1 series lead against the worst team to ever make any playoff in any professional sport, ever.

since then i could never fully get behind this iteration of the leafs. there was always either some lingering background doubt (when they were doing well) or confirmation that they are fatally flawed (when they failed like usual in the playoffs).

Michigan Leafs fan here. I blame Wendel Clark, late 80s HNIC, which was totally awesome, my dad and my brother and Red Wings fans in general. I hate the Red Wings like y'all hate Montreal. I think this is why it's so easy for me to root for Edmonton. I have no Edmonton friends to hate on. None at all. It's time to bring the trophy back to a real hockey city. Screw Bettman.

That said, I do like Florida. It will be a lame parade if they win. Like in Tampa where the streets are empty 2 hours later, but that team is pretty boss.

Gotta respect the out of town Leafs fans who chose this with their heart, independent of geography and good sense!

You Ontario folks have no idea how many sketchy-ass, not-even-close-to-legal streams people like me have watched Leafs games on in the past. Kids nowadays don't know how bad it used to be! I had to watch Vesa Toskala shit his pants on a stream that was giving my porn laptop even more viruses. That might be the trashiest sentence I have ever typed and boy is that stiff competition.

Wow, with a sentence like that, I respect you more and less at the same time. :laugh:

Hyman, Connor Brown, Sam Carrick, Cody Ceci

All looking at getting a cup.

Good luck boys.



Leaf nation: Big dream is moving on from big contracts that hamper a balanced team.

I remember 2018-2019 when they finished near the bottom and I was glad to be a Leafs fan.

The tables have turned.

wow holy f*** wtf was that? McDavid just left all our jaws hanging on the floor. Unreal to pull that off in such an important game. Watching the Leafs you’d think nice goals don’t count in the playoffs

lol.

No. I recently said McDavid is 3AAV more valuable than Matthews.

And I called Matthews a winger.

McDavid is a true #1C.

Matthews is not.

The stakes are vastly different, but it must be nice to score first in a series clinching game at home and then manage to go up 2-0 instead of scoring first and then immediately giving up the next goal.
