How would you rather lose game 7

[895]

Your team is destined to lose game 7. You can’t change that. You get to decide how they lose.

Personally I would rather get stomped. There’s less bitterness when you lose to the better team.

Losing in OT would be too heartbreaking. I would keep thinking about the what ifs.

If ever there was a Leafs poll…

I’d rather my team show up. I don’t hold anything against the 2014 Blackhawks for falling just short in the WCF to the kings for example. If I were a leafs fan, I would not be happy with my team at all. Can you imagine paying $$$$$ to see that yesterday?

In the moment losing a close game hurts but I rather look back at the guys almsot doing it rather than look back on the game in disgust

 

[M88K]

If I have to lose, I'd rather it be a heart-breaking OT loss, where you were oh so close, than a throttling that says you didn't actually belong here.
Losing 6-1 in game 7 signals you need to make serious changes. a 4-3 OT loss, a little tweak

 

[NVious]

If the core is young and you want to be optimistic, lose a close one.

If you're team is teetering on the end for a core, lose badly.

As a Leafs fan the rest of you don't need to answer because you lack our expertise.

Having played and watched sports for a long time, I try to be more process-oriented in my approach to fandom. At the end of the day you want to see your team battle hard, not quit, play together as a team, etc.

As long as they do that, I can generally live with the result and feel like my investment of time and energy has been worthwhile.

Lose in OT so you get a point out of it.

Double overtime in the ECF after hitting a post

 

[Midnight Judges]

Seems to me a nail biting OT loss is something a team would be more likely to be able to build off of.

At least an OT loss means it was probably exciting and competitive hockey... but it def hurts a lot losing that way
