Do the Leafs get more credit in hindsight for taking the Panthers to 7 games?

Would they beat Washington?

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

I'm fine with the Leafs celebrating being the first loser in the East.

Not really. They are just the team that got Florida humming. When you play a game where the shot attempts difference is the worst all year after 2 periods in the whole NHL and it’s a a game 7 at home you don’t get credit for anything.

but they went 7 and TB got cleaned in 5

When is the parade?

 

[Mitch nylander]

We deserve no credit. The guys came out like absolute shit in game 5 & 7 in arguably their most important games of their careers.

Sure if they came out like game 6 or game 1, in those games, and lost 3-2, they deserve credit. But no they diarrhea'd themselves when it mattered most.

Also the bobrovsky shit is in this thread is a reach too, cause Woll was arguably more dreadful than him every game of the series. His .886 Sv% which is carried by game 6's shutout, was no better than Bob in game 1-3...

Toronto might have beaten TB though

Why does that matter?

seems like Toronto was the second best team in the conference

Leafs win if Bennet doesn't take Stolarz's head off.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Considering how badly Carolina is getting destroyed, do the Leafs get more credit in hindsight?

(Disclaimer: I don’t like the Leafs)

No.

Not when it’s another gane 7 loss and an embarrassing one at that

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

Leafs fan starting a Leafs thread? Get out

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Leafs win if Bennet doesn't take Stolarz's head off.

They'd also win if they scored 6 or 7 more goals than they did.

yeah folks on here have all but forgotten that Florida took Toronto's starting goalie out in game 1 lol

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

yeah folks on here have all but forgotten that Florida took Toronto's starting goalie out in game 1 lol

hint: get a more durable goalie

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

They will win the trophy for the most respect in the handshake line. Second Colorado.

It really wouldn't have mattered. Stolarz isn't exactly Hasek out there. If Leafs fans want to tell themselves they lost because Stolarz got hurt then fine, knock yourself out.

Sure. The Leafs are the best loser. Lmaoap

it really would have mattered. Stolarz had a .926 and Woll had a .909. the two were on entirely different levels.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Add that to the banner. "Oh yeah, Stolarz also got hurt which is why we blew a 2-0 lead"

so you have nothing of substance to say because you can't argue with the numbers, correct?

 

[NYRnine94]

The numbers say Toronto got blown out at home in game 7 and blew a 2-0 series lead. Stolarz isn't even that good lmao and they won game 2 with Woll. You act like Stolarz went down and the Leafs lost every game after that. Stop it already

 

[Bizz]

No. They're still perennial chokers who will never win a Cup.
