After 20 years of being absolute clown shoes, the franchise turns it around and becomes not only a champion, but cements itself into the top tier of the NHL. All of us HFers who suffered so long, you think we'd react with class and dignity and reverence for the reversal of fortune. Nope, we turn our boards into absolute clown shoes. Well done miscreants. 🤡
 
i feel funny taking us off-topic and talking about hockey here as the board's on a heater here.

just wanted to throw out a couple of things i saw/heard mentioned. i've tried to keep up with the commentary but not sure if others have mentioned them.

first, i felt like i saw a different tactic by our D on dump-ins. we seemed to be gliding toward pucks, shielding the first forechecker in an attempt i assume to allow the rest of the team to get back and provide support, instead of trying to quickly retrieve and make a play, which was killing us earlier in the series,

we seem to be ok with a board battle if necessary and were winning a lot of those scrums. we lost some but even when we did, we were in better position defensively than we were when we were turning the puck over in those situations earlier in the series. when we won, though, we came out quicker and cleaner and that fed our own forecheck, which, ahem, can be effective.

the other thing is that i felt chuckie was much better. hard to say he's 100% but there was def a big jump in his play. he's got more pop in his stride. maurice said post-game that he felt chuckie was "back". we'll see but that's an encouraging and unexpected turn of events. he also talked about keeping verhaeghe away from chuckie when he wasn't at full speed as carter needs guys who can keep up with him to be effective.

i think we have a recipe now. a couple of bounces and a tweak or two and the boys now know what it looks like to play their game against this very good leafs team. it'll be interesting to see what the leafs come back with.

I’m not superstitious

Just very stitious

But since we started bullying and shitposting, we became champions

We got swept

We got the Staal Bros and started memeing

We made it to the final memeing
We lost

We meme’d harder + legos

Champs



Im not saying we are responsible.


I’m just saying we deserve rings
