Give credit to Florida after that 2-1 goal it was pretty much shutdown from there. That's how you got to play if you want to win. They were undefeated after leading after 2 periods. Leafs-Boston Game 7 we score the 1st goal and give up the tying one like 1 minute after. We have a ways to go before we can get to that level.

Don't forget Vegas blowing that final game of the season vs Anaheim to stack one side of the bracket
But you have to take advantage of the matchups handed to you, and Oilers did just that. And elite special teams were the difference in most of the series
Every Canadian team's fanbase says the same about the Leafs and how unbearable Leafs fans would be if they ever won the cup.
He could have been a D×××× about it. At least he let the organization a year ahead

Leafs the only team to come back from 3-0 down in the finals. This is the type of history our organization should be focusing on.

I ended the season on two cowardly cashouts on winning bets.

he's from St Louis Missouri... quite a bit away from Canada
with us it’s more so we are very delusional about the Leafs and go very extreme with the praise and hype and the large number of us doesn’t help. With them it’s more so the inferiority complex they have about everyone else. that’s at least what I’ve seen.Every Canadian team's fanbase says the same about the Leafs and how unbearable Leafs fans would be if they ever won the cup.

This is every Canadian market.
Like, Sens fans have declared themselves off-season champions like 5 years running.

The Miami Heat in the Heatles/Lebron/Wade/Bosh era was the exception. Them winning 2 titles and making 4 straight nba finals in the early 2010s was good for the nba obviously

The goalie pool is kinda weak in today's NHL, so I think Skinner will survive, especially with a good team in front of him
Plus, he may be Team Canada's starting goalie in the Olympics lmao

One of the luckiest teams in recent years to make the finals IMO
- Kings SUCKED
- Nucks were done with injuries. No Demko as you pointed out and then no Boser either in deciding game as he was injured too
- Dallas was spent IMO after going against VGK and Avs those were tough series unlike Oilers against Kings and Nucks
In the finals;
Oilers got a lot of puck luck to mount a comeback. Panthers hit 2 posts in Gm 5 if I remember on PP and then Oilers scored the goal (Hyman's first) from a pointshot of Bouchard when the puck was going really wide it hman and in net. Same thing happened with another shot (forget whether it was gm 4,5 or 6) where the puck hit Barkov when the shote was going wide and in the net. Then the oilers werent called for too many men (should have been a penalty) and then gm 6 that offside call was garbage IMO
Tonight i think panthers got the bounces/puck luck while oilers got ZERO puck luck.
Sure McJesus played out of his mind but in gm 6 and gm 7 he was very quiet. Couldn't do much with no time and space. also I think he just expended all his energy in gm 4 and gm 5 lol
I think in the last few years the vast majority of Leafs fans even the most positive and delusional ones have finally come to the realization that the Leafs aren't as good as we all hoped they would be. Outside of some of the ones you see on TV saying the usual 'the Leafs are going all the way', most fans seem to be grounded in reality that this team is good, just not good enough to win 16 games to get the cup.

Poor Panthers management. Have less than a week to enjoy that cup and then got some huge decisions because they have some guys who are gonna get paid.

I mean, Edmonton did score 2 minutes after Florida opened the scoring tonight.
Florida just got the benefit of a softie on Skinner and then Edmonton blew a couple of golden chances, including when Mcdavid put Bob on his ass but couldn't pull the trigger.
This year in particular I agree. hf leafs was pretty mellow. the Leafs have broken the will of even one of the most optimistically delusional fanbases. It’s hard for even the biggest optimists to have faith when the team can’t get by a 1-2 punch of Zacha and Coyle in the first round. All it’ll take is winning a series in 6 next year though and the hype will be underway.
