What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
The problem is the officiating changes in the playoffs. Penalties that are routinely called during the regular season that impede players are largely ignored in the post season. As a result, teams that excel during the regular season based on skill can't employ the same strategy with effectiveness in the playoffs.

They might as well bring in two line passes and remove the trapezoid from the goalies in the playoffs.

The skill comes out itself with an effective powerplay. Opponents aren't going to take as many liberties if they know a penalty means they will likely be put down a goal. This was working well for most of of the Canucks in 2011, until their PP dried up against Boston.

Even if Mac was making $11 million, that would be impressive...you'll take that kind of playoff production everyday.
There's no way Bettman would overturn Parros after supporting him from the backlash by the Rangers...and I think 8 games was fair punishment for Kadri...he's still such an idiot.

He's a huge hot take artist who constantly complains if his preferred teams in whatever sport get eliminated.
And he really hates Tom Brady.

I LOVE the Leafs I think I have started developing serious dislike bordering on hate against the people who "manage" the Leafs and some who represent the Leafs on ice
I guess thats the difference for you too eh?

Yup Kucherov, Crosby, Kane, Kopitar, Gretzky, Jagr etc... all see it the same way
You forgot Stamkos, Ovi, Yzerman and Orr too.

The list is too long!
I thought I'd throw in recent cup winners with a mix of old great ones. I guess I forgot Mario LOL
Being a Leafs fan is hard on mental health and memory LOL

No other sport team would pull this disgraceful move.

Just massive loser energy from that stunt the CN Tower pulled. No wonder this franchise hasn’t won Jack shit in over 50 years. Hockey team reflects this cities attitude.

Coaches need a union, lol. How is that fair that a coach can get fined $25,000 bucks but a player can only get $5000 max? Doesn't make sense.

Man leafs got me being listening to depressing/emo hip hop music to pass the time.
I seriously can't wait for next year. Either leafs pull through and stop being losers or they prove once and for all they are unwinnable and we see major moves with Managment, coaching, scouting, all having firings and the core guys being sent away.
I won't pretend and say I'll stop being a fan if we lose in the 1st round again but if it does come to that, see this team be blown up will be very satisfying, definately more satisfying then any series we played in since we became good and probably a top 3 moment in my time as a fan.
Hopefully we are dealing with the 2020 Lightning instead of a standard leafs team next year

Such a civic fail. Can we have some pride at least as a city even if our team sucks? This humiliation has no rock bottom.

Sad thing is our team probably couldn't care less. They're enjoying golfing wherever.
Leafs fans though get to be humiliated.
