Why is there so much debate over hitting a skate?? I am in my 60's I could skate to the front of the net, I am sure of that, and I could battle for position would lose eventually but I could battle and a puck hits me and goes in and I am a hero?? Wow expectations are waaaay down.
What does trying to decide who's skate the puck hit have to do with expectations?
Aha! That explains why I thought during the game that it didn't hit Tavares but then today I thought it did - it's all about the camera angles baby!
Yeah I'm kind of scratching my head over the point that poster was trying to make
Yeah I was pretty satisfied last night that it was JT 's goal, on that low angle shot. Like I said before though, if it didn't hit him he would've straightened it out last night. I believe the captain to be a real solid citizen, if he wasn't they would have never given him the C. Any team-mate who starts taking credit for goals that aren't his pretty soon finds his place in team hierarchy to be non- existent.Aha!

Team came out flat during the 1st period, was down 2-0 while also being horribly out shot. Spezza gave a speech during the 1st intermission that motivated the Leafs to play like they did in game 1.
Disagree. Being even slightly dirty leads to tons of penalties for us. Not them, but us. When we play our game though with our passes and our skating, when we drove the play they have no answer. Give the refs nothing to call. Don't lay down but keep it clean. Hit em hard but keep it clean.
Blows my mind that these other fanbases get critical of us being happy for a playoff win. Its literally no different then other team when the win a game.
Envy is a funny thing. There is a youtuber named Tom Grossi. He embodies this. Goes out of his way to livestream his rival football team, The Vikings, just to cheer against them.
ofcourse we understand some fans are just bipolar, there were over 50 different negative nancy's in yesterday's GDT, probably well over 300 negative comments but several posters, such as GQ and Ashir among a few others are just over the top, GQ had over 10 negative complaints by himself and Ashir just hates Mathews he had at least 10 complaints about Mathews in just one GDT.
Jets sub has 3x as many mentions of the Leafs as this sub does of the Jets. That's not even filtering for "Laffs". Probably 5x+.
LMAO I'd completely forgotten about that.
Exactly. I was too lazy to find the words to explain it, glad somebody gets it. Winning to take a 3-2 series lead feels like an accomplishment but falling ass backwards from 3-1 to 3-2, that's something else entirely.But in fairness the feeling is different
The vibe losing game 5 being up 3-1 in a series is much different
