In fairness, in a Cup winning season, only the homeless Arizona had lower game cost than Florida. That's a very direct reflection on support / demand in their own area. If you aren't getting talked about in your own house, you aren't likely to be talked about elsewhere. That has nothing to do with product or quality but you likely have to sustain success for a while to gain more foothold.
He’s gonna be a huge factor, especially after the series he just had.
Third playoffs in a row of sub .900 goaltending from Vasilevskiy
I haven't been to the Cats Board in the last 2 years. Insufferable whining about why a third line wing isn't good enough.
Oh, it was years back. Could have been a few players, but I prefer the main boards.
The Leafs stars were a huge factor against the Lightning in round 1 two years ago as well and then faded against the Panthers in round 2. Our blueline is much better and Berube's style of play is more suited to playoff hockey, but we will need the core guys to find a way to contribute throughout the series to have any chance of pulling off an upset.
Not sure where you've got that take. I like Stoly, but I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers.
Good logic. 2 full days off between 2 and 3. Helps the older guys on each team. Leafs I think have more guys between 29 and 33. Tanev is 35 Pacioretty is 36, Marchand and Bob are 36.
And they were two shots away from losing in 5. Works both ways.
