I just watched the Nate Mackinnon post-game interview after the Avs lost game 6 and he looked like the saddest, angriest guy on the planet. You can just tell he has a strong desire to win and is someone you would go to war for. Something I didn't get the sense from most of the core Leafs in their post game interviews after they were eliminated.

I'm tired of this 'Islanders/Habs are teams with heart' narrative
If heart was the end all be all, the Flyers would be a dynasty

Lamoriello was successful in this league for 30 years before he came to Toronto and he continues to be today. We don't need to look at him like the one that got away every time his new team has a bit of success.
I think that’s the problem. It seems like they are just not sick of losing.

LOL did the islanders won something Yet with him and i missed it? They will not even make it to the final and he acts like he already won
Lol. Well, he’s won more rounds in the last week then the Leafs have in 17 years.
You would push your grandmother down the stairs to see the Leafs in the final 4. Don’t deny it.

Who the f*** in their right mind would do that? That's a messed up thing to say.

So Lou has to win a cup in New York to not be a big nothing here and yet, you're making excuse after excuse for Dubas after the 3-1 choke job in the first round against an 18th place team???

Lou did a hell of a job with these Islanders. They're more skilled this year. They outplayed Tampa in the first.

Truer words never been spoken in Hockey World.
Dubas has ruined this franchise by ruining the culture, entitlement and I did no wrong attitude that flows from management to the locker room

50% of the cap on 4 players isn't enough now you want to add another big salary? WOW
Watching tampa play it’s like watching the leafs.

Isles playing another solid game, how stupid does Shanahan and his wonder boy look now, imagine if the Isles win the Cup.........
He was and did his plays after the penalty showed you anything that he wanted to win and willing to go that extra mile to help the team win? I think he actually played worse.

Maybe I should start rooting for the Islanders just because it would look bad on Shanahan. It looks like they have a shot. I underrated the team.
