Why so salty? It's just an advanced-stats model. Model that predicted Florida to make the playoffs despite regular season struggles, even having them as near top-10 Cup favourite, model that predicted Tkachuk to thrive in Florida, etc, etc.

Also…

Monty had two BIG goals in game #7… No need to remind you which one they were…

The first one of game #6…

And the "tying" goal in our first victory (we were already leading, but still…) along with the insurance goal…

He was a gamer all series, and should be recognize like that, ahead of guys like Rantanen, Zacha, Hall or Schenn… Don’t you think ?

I guess he purely posted his models results, which should be fine.

A good round one series recap, and a good round two preview.
The guy in the middle and to the right are former NHL players.
Hilarious!

All of them went for Bruins sweep. They could only talk about how bad the Bruins were. Typical - implies that Bruins beat themselves.

I guess they’re picking the Leafs in a sweep too…
 
Did anyone watch the PoMo presser this morning?

He talked about Tkachuk right before the overtime goal banking the puck off the glass to put in a spot where he can better fight for the puck.

I am rewatching it now and holy shit its true lmao

He gets to the puck first but he was about to get hit so he threw it off the glass so he can turn his body and take the contact but keep the puck in front of him and Carlo behind him so it turns the puck battle essentially Bennett and Tkachuk vs Grezlyck

Thats f***ing ridiculous
 
Anyone have a way to get affordable tickets for games 3 or 4. Really dont want to spend $200+
 

Love it. Brady actually was at the game but he snuck in so no one would recognize him lol

Its interisting, i heard a report that the Ownership doesnt allow Tickets reserved outside of the United States. When you try to buy ticket via Ticketmaster or other official Dealers, your order will automatic canceled.

In a Canadian Morning Show they find it hilarious, since some Canadian Citisans, owning place in florida or other places in the United States and can buy tickets.

But a nice Idea to keep your House, your House and not an Invasion from somewhere.
 
Pre-Tkachuk, Barkov was my favourite player on the team. The biased eyes are clearly with you and some others who seem to give him multiple passes for lacklustre displays in the playoffs. I'm just calling how I see it. He's been underwhelming in his playoff career so far. That people are crediting him for the basics that you would expect from a 3rd line player speaks volumes. And guess what, the underlying numbers show what I and a few others have been seeing in his performances. But sure, you keep going ahead giving him credit for the bare minimum. The pass this guy gets for his playoff performances is hilarious. Biased eyes indeed!

This is also quite clearly Tkachuk's team now. Barkov might have the C, but we're not in the next round because of him that's for damn sure.

And why shouldn't I be blasting Barkov if I consider Bergeron a hall of fame player? That is some strawman nonsense right there.
How about this, you are trying to compare Barkov to Tkachuk, and anyone would tell you right off the bat that Katchuck is something very special, generational, Ala McDavid, you can pretty much put the whole NHL against McDavid and Tkatchuck and I will bet you will end up disappointed, beside being very happy to have Tkachuk in your team at the same time you should embrace Barkov for what he brings, all the intangibles that are unmatched, scoring is just one of them, and if he gets trapped on the boards, it is because he demands that kind of attention when 2 guys are needed to strip him from the puck.
 
Leafs pp can be scary, but I still think we are way better than them 5v5. They had a lot of hits vs Tampa but still they aren't that gritty outside of Schenn, McCabe, Bunting, O'reilly and Acciari. If we take it to them with the body like we did against Boston, and cut down even 1-2 penalties per game, I like our chances.
Eh way better is pushing it.. I think our offense is slightly better 5v5, but we give up more goals than them 5v5. The entire regular season stats back that up as well as this first round.

Going to back off with my prediction tonight, as it might have put too much pressure on El Capitano: 2 goal night coming for Sasha.

Before the series starts and we all not like each other (lol) I just wanna say, I've never been so happy to see a team that's not the Leafs win a series as I was the Panthers beating the Bruins. Nothing to do with our teams playing in round two but f*** the Bruins. And thanks to you guys I never have to here " it was 3-1" from Bruins fans ever again lol.

Good luck Panther fans, win or lose, I hope it's a hell of an entertaining series. And if you guys come out on top Ill be cheering for the Cinderella run.
