This Tampa Bay team has played a lot of tough hockey over the last 2 years, yet the Leafs can't even wrap up one single round up 3-1.

A team build from the back. A classic build up

Whats scary is point and Stamkos hasn't done much at all this series

We lost our depth when we traded Kadri. He had go perhaps but we couldn't recover that depth


It also helps when your star player is a star player

Depth players are also chipping in. The 3rd and 4th lines have completely owned the Habs while ours were out for a casual skate in the first round. Mikheyev, Simmonds, Joe, Foligno....massive black holes.

We lost our depth when Dubas ran himself out of money to pay any depth by chasing an aging UFA, and then proceeding to overpay every single one of his RFAs thinking he was smarter than every other GM that opted for bridge deals and are now laughing.
 
Kuch is on another level. I think he is better than McDavid and Mack. I think he is at a point where he will not go all out in the regular season but will hit another gear comes playoffs like all the Greats.

I think tonight he matched Gretzky and Lemieux in back-to-back playoffs with 30 points or more...that's some elite company...but hey, Marner is better, that's why he got paid more than Kucherov!

Dubas had some great trade chips and depth pieces which he dwindled away in short time.

Montreal's Stanley Cup Finals appearance in a nutshell. Luck will only take you so far. Playing against teams that have the tendency to roll over and die like Toronto and Winnipeg and then having the good fortune of playing Vegas, who couldn't score in a brothel... looks good on them. They are not a good team. Never were. Enjoy this nice dose of reality, Habs fans. I know I am.
 
This series isn't competitive at all, but I'm enjoying seeing the Habs get owned. This is how VGK/MTL should have played out. I still can't figure out what the hell happened to the Knights; they played worse than TOR did against MTL.

The Knights forwards can't score...Pietrangelo is their best player...they don't have anyone as elite as Point and Kucherov.

Vegas can never score in the playoffs. They are an amazingly hard working team, but they legitimately have no offensive talent. They're basically the opposite of the Leafs. Extremely hard working, but no talent. Leafs are extremely talented, but also equally lazy. Tampa is the combination of the Leafs skill with the work ethic of Vegas. That's why they're up 3-0 and will be B2B champs.
 
Not sure why Leafs fans are so giddy? It's a sigh of relief for sure but this Montreal team made it to the Finals and our losers can't make it out of the 1st Round. Saying Montreal fluked to the Final is rich given our team can't get out of Round 1. If flukes were this easy we wouldve won more with this group.

Maybe it is just me but I can't even build up any emotion to care what's happening around the NHL until our losers show up in the Playoffs

Maybe Vegas and Leafs can make a trade. Stone for Marner.
