Honestly he makes so many mistakes in his own zone, lots of bad passes, giveaways etc.
He just doesn’t spend a lot of time in his own zone, which is the best kind of defense.
Edmonton Oilers Defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, advance to WCF

Who cares? They are leagues better than the Leafs. And their fans actually get more than a week and half of playoff hockey.

The teams the Oilers lost to would beat the Leafs but also the Oilers. The Oilers have never beat a contender in the McDrai era.

At least they are in a position to actually beat one. What have the Leafs done in my entire life time?

This Canucks team would beat the Leafs for sure.
LA's teams they've beaten probably not - Leafs would beat those teams. The '22 Calgary team would be a coin-toss but I'd probably lean CGY given the G/D advantage.
lol I would argue the flames in 21-22 were a contender.
You’re also discredit the Canucks quite a bit…

The teams the Oilers beat would beat the Leafs. The Leaf's biggest enemy is themselves, they are perennial chokers. Their stars go MIA every May and the team has no answer. They wilt under adversity and their only series win came from Tampa Bay completely imploding in a very leaf-like fashion.

I think Calgary would easily win that series. Edmonton just broke Markstrom that series in a way I've not seen before. He was a Vezina finalist that year.

lol… not old enough to remember 2012 and somehow can’t navigate a search engine…
The playoffs are emotional, you should know that… last time you made the finals Burrows was biting Boston’s fingers….
The point is… you can’t rationalize this away. You lost… close, almost and what if don’t matter.

21-22 and 22-23 Kings would beat the Leafs. This year's version, meh. PLD is that bad.

Divine is going through some stuff but he said he is joining the Oilers bandwagon, so that's good news!

This Canucks team missing Demko/Boeser against a healthy Leafs or a Matthews/Nylander/Woll out Leafs? Both teams had key injuries this playoffs.
This Canucks team against the Leafs with an injured Matthews and losing Nylander for the first 3 games - of course.

Naw the Leafs would never lose to a team that had Korpisalo in net.
Wait I'm being notified of something...

Some say…
The shots were 29 per game for Edmonton to 21 per game for Vancouver… that’s not “the bounces just didn’t go our way”

What are you talking about? Leafs are a free bingo card. They don’t beat anyone.
