Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

Boooo

Leafs are winning tonight and they're winning game 7. This is the turning point for the Core Four.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I've refused to watch any Leafs game after the Senators series.

I really want to watch tonight, but I can't jinx it.

I also can't figure out how to get my TV out on the deck. It's mounted to the wall.

This wasn't my fault, I didn't watch.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Leafs just won't be denied. 2025 Cup champs.

Dude. Read the room. Even if you believe that, why would you post that on a fan forum dedicated to the Montreal Canadiens?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Someone give me some good trash talk to teach a 7 year old about the Leafs that won't get her in trouble. I tried to get her to remember to ask the other kid if his grandparents were even alive in 1967, but the subtle layers of humour embedded in that line are way too much for kids that age so I just told her to tell him that Brady Tkachuk is better than Mitch Marner.

Pretty sure he’s trying his best to jinx the shit out of the leaves…..

It's all the same to me whether the Leafs win or lose.

At this point they should be going to the Cup Final at the very least. I think on Sunday night we're going to see that Florida's tank is empty. They've been to the dance two seasons in a row and they're tired and they're hurt.

Leafs have been very impressive; all the elements are now in place. Elite talent up front, center depth, big and strong defense that can hold up under the punishment of the playoffs, good goaltending, good special teams, willingness to sacrifice they didn't have in previous years.

They blocked 31 shots tonight in game 6. They want it bad.

Sunday night is a chance for Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly and Tavares to flip the script and I think they're gonna do it.

Isn’t it better and funnier if they don’t, though?

Also, I don’t think I’ve been more sure if a result in like 15 years than I am of Toronto winning Game 7. I’ll make sure I get paid for it too if I’m going to be miserable.

 

[Xspyrit]

Leafs and Habs need to lose before we do, there’s no question about it.

The fact that the Leafs are still playing while the Sens are not is a bad thing

I don’t give a crap about « Canadian teams », the Oilers and Jets are still alive.

 

[bicboi64]

I wonder how Berube would respond to this question. He may very well have a good answer but I really doubt it would be close to the same.

I think any coach, let alone a coach with a cup win, will talk about how they see something special in the players they're coaching.

For game 7, I hope TML and Florida go to 5 OT and both end up losing

I don’t know, it would be just easier if the Leafs lost.

They can get swept against Carolina..my hate for the Panthers is larger than my hate for the Leafs.

lol strange. I truly don’t care about how immoral another team’s antics are until it happens to us, just like every other fanbase doesn’t care.

 

[ottawagm]

Stopped watching before the 3rd, whoops. Well at least they can lose in front of their fans now.

 

[maclean]

Hopefully this is just another instance of letting them get their hopes back up so they can fall down even harder. That's Leafs canon

There’s a couple posters in here that seem like they could really be Leaf fans. Hard to say for sure, but it's something I’ve wondered about. I think I’ve seen them posting in the Leaf forum before.

I’d rather the Leafs get blown out.

 

[GCK]

Biggest change with the leafs is the remake of their D. Tanev, OEL and Carlo who are all bigger guys but not big bangers, they just take up a lot of ice and take punishment. Hoping for an easy Panthers win with leafs jersey’s being launched throughout the 3rd period of game 7.

Rip to Scheifele's pops, can't imagine what he's going through and hope he has the strength to get through this

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Maybe Crosby should go finish his career playing with Celebrini in San Jose

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Absolutely devastating news for the Sheiffele family to lose someone unexpectedly like this. It's one thing to lose an ailing family member but for Mark's dad to pass away suddenly will be incredibly difficult to get through. Hope all the best for him and his close ones.
