Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Sensrule]

Surprised Sens legend Matt Murray isn't in

 

[Senscore]

We really did almost have them didn't we?


Jesus christ. f***in Patches.

 

[SanderSen]

For the first time ever I am actually hoping the Leafs win a series. But either way is ok.

 

[Senscore]

Even Mikkola is teabagging them ahahaha

 

[Gil Gunderson]

For the first time ever I am actually hoping the Leafs win a series. But either way is ok.

Why?

That’s almost a guaranteed spot in the SCF.

 

[Dionysus]

Jesus christ.

Yep. One bounce the Sens way and it's a 7 game series. Would have liked their chances in that G7.

 

[aragorn]

Rick Tocchet coaching in Philly seems right.

Or at least a bit of luck in OT.


Clearly rattled in the first game because of inexperience, which sucks but I understand. No more freebies like that.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

only proven cup winner Matt Murray can save the leafs now

 

[aragorn]

Florida beating the stinking Leafs 4-0 is wonderful to see.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

The only way he's staying is if the Leafs win this series. And pull off some bullshit cap magic.


Otherwise this is a great time to cash in somewhere else that doesn't have a hard ceiling on playoff success.

And that's what ultimately sucks for Toronto, they could have gotten a huge package for him last year. Now he walks for nothing.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Leafs dropping the ball at home, huh? You hate to see it (you love to see it).

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

the only "pest" that the Leafs have is virgin Domi with the brain the size of a peanut compared to Chad high IQ monster pest Ridley Greig

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Outside of the PK, the Panthers looked worse in game 1 against the Leafs than we did. Bennett was just a POS and injured Stolarz.

Leafs and Rantanen had an agreed extension and Canes agreed to trade Rantanen if the Leafs traded Marner, which they wanted to, but Marner blocked the trade.

Still think that shot to the chin had more to do with it. They aren't losing because of goaltending anyway.


Well, Bobrovsky's goaltending maybe.

This is worse than when Heatley and Spezza blocked trades

The last two games, no. But they scored 4 goals in game 3, Stolarz would have won that one and the Leafs would have lead 3-0.

No idea why Rantanen would refuse to sign in Carolina but agree to sign in Toronto.

System, star power, etc. Plus, many Finns and Swedes prefer to play in climates similar to home. Now it is true that Dallas is a warm climate like Carolina, but Dallas is a bigger city, has no state income tax, and again the star power aspect. Rantanen agreed to extend with Toronto, Edmonton, and Dallas.

 

[Mr Hat]

Would have been nice to have this standard of officiating in our series, letting go the small things vs making it a special teams battle vs a PP merchant team. f*** Toronto they are getting what they deserve.

 

[Norris4Norris]

Here is what a moderator from the Leafs boards had to say a few minutes ago:

"This team is such a bunch of losers, won't even bump Bob in a do or die moment. Ridly Greig alone has more competitive sense than this team."

Always with the dramatics those guys. High or low.

Just the worst f***ing fanbase.

I feel like if I was Marner and I did this, I wouldn’t completely no show in the playoffs, but alas.

You know you're absolutely f***in cooked when you gotta call Matt Murray in
