Don’t give me that much hope bro! I’m trying to temper my expectations. I et it get out of control in 2013 and 2021

It's not hope. This series is a mismatch. It's the Rangers against Washington last year (and, like Washington this season, I expect Ottawa will be better next season). The real marker for this team will be the second round. That's why I keep saying I have no interest in this round. Beating Ottawa proves nothing.

M Tkachuk didnt really do much with the Flames in the playoffs and then with the panthers dont know what happened but it jsut clicked for him

He was really young still in Calgary.

Let’s not count our chickens. Let’s just get the job done

Also sometimes you do have to lose a bit to learn how to win. Not everyone is Crosby and wins cups at like 21 lol

 

[Just Rude]

They look better this year then in recent memory, but trying to keep an even keel.

It’s still the Leafs. You learn.

You do what you have to do. I'm over here with a big pile of eggs counting chickens. Ottawa doesn't stand a chance in this series.

It's so true. I was nervous when they were up 5-2 on Sunday and wondering what it's like to be a fan of a normal team.

I have too much fear of the hockey gods to be spitting in their face

Things look pretty good right now, but things can also change very quickly

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don't think this is ideal for Ottawa tbh

 

[dhfa]

This looks like the best leafs team out of them all with this core. The main thing is their D is better and so far at least, their goalie seems to be playing well.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Leafs took a powerhouse Boston team to game 7 with Samsonov/rookie and without Nylander and Matthews for much of the series

Okay that season for Boston was fun but I would not in any way describe them as a powerhouse

It's almost as if experience matters.

TotalHomer and Evilhomer going at it

The leafs have taken many iterations of the bruins to 7 games

 

[MCR74]

ooofff Ron with a zinger

A zinger from Ron? Seriously?

 

[thusk]

So it's Probably the ref agai or Ottawa controling the game in 1st

Again they did absolutly nothing outside of their pp for 2nd game in a row but tonight Stolarz didn't gave any gift, that's the primary difference

 

[GoldenSeal]

Still pulling for the Sens because, hell, why not?

This is why you want to win your division

That is true. It was a coin flip of a series that always landed on heads. Playoff hockey be like that sometimes.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Hate to say it but the Sens don’t look like they belong. Leafs are just much more skilled and poised, they look pretty good this year.

Hope I’m wrong!
