Which is why the Ovi comparison or those saying Matthews will have a better career are insane. Ovi was terrifying every time he was on the ice. He drove the play, even though Backstrom was great.

That was in my head the entire game, ngl, when ovi scored 60 if he had the puck in the NZ he was going to the net from there, going through guys/carrying them, and getting it on net.

Leafs need to stay out of the box. They don’t have a good PK so they better limit their penalties or this is over in 4 or 5 games.

Also, start Woll in Game 2.

Ovi is a monster compared to AM. I believe the Caps won the Cup without a great goalie.

Meh, he is a diehard fan who has watched the leafs basically tear his heart year after year, I don’t mind him

I am waiting for sportsnet to higher a die hard canucks fan and give him the same amount of airtime they give this loser. They won't do it.

I saw this clip a few months ago and I legit feel bad for Marner. His dad seems like a jerk

Weird cause it looked like domis game plan was to stay in the box

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Samsonov is 5-11 in the playoffs. Yikes. The chances of this guy just miraculously getting hot in the playoffs is slim to none. I just don’t see it.

Oilers win in 5 don’t worry pal

PLD has been saving himself for the playoffs.

Not a 'great' goalie but a vezina winner and significantly better than anything the Leafs have.

The oilers are trash. Garbage D and goaltending. The difference between the leafs and the Oilers is that the leafs actually have to play NHL teams in the playoffs. Pacific…

Montreal fans are the cooky grandpa that always talks about the good old days.

Bruins still have PTSD from the 70s Canadiens.

overall great game by the leafs. Just a couple bounces and it’s a different story right everyone

I think the problem is the leafs are the non nhl team in their matchup

Bruins still have PTSD from the 70s Canadiens.

And the 70s Canadiens have Alzheimer’s

The Oilers got another free pass this season in the playoffs. You better hope that they don’t lose to the kings.

 

[NastyKnies]

Leaf fans a bit grumpy right now. Love it

We're used to this dude

Idk depends on the bounces

Coulda been 8-1 Boston

Difference between Leafs and Oilers is Oilers stars still show up and perform, dare I say elevate their game, during the playoffs.

But yeah, the rest of the teams pretty much mirror each other. Hence the similar results, ultimately.
