They actually said both. They were chanting we want Boston. We want Florida.
We probably didn’t want either.

I love how people assume the “we want Florida” even had anything to do with Florida at all. Seems to me it was more of a middle finger to Boston.
This, but I'd say it was more tongue in cheek than a middle finger. Like of course we'll lose to Boston

1-you acting like Nylander accept to take much more hit than marner when it's not the case at all
-this year the difference between both is 6 hit( 1 hit every 8 game)
-Last 3 year Nylander took less hit than marner.
So for you that's what's really made
difference between both?!?!?!
2- Nylander having a great vision and ability to adapt pretty quickly but no he's not able to anticipate what's other will do like Marner doing. Marner is a top 5 in NHL in this part of the game and #1 reason why he's pretty strong to create takeaway( only Slavin had been better in that category with 1 more takeaway). Ability to see what's gonna happen before everyone else

Yep, looks like re running it cost us. But at least we will suck for 5 years. Fans won't mind.

We probably coulda got Boeser. He woulda looked real good with Matthews. Imagine that, acquiring scoring.

I will do you all a favor and not watch a single game. Last night I fell asleep at 8:30, woke up and found out the Leafs won 6-2.

Fans were just excited to be in the second round and alternated between We want Boston and We want Florida.
Only the Original Six teams ( and maybe the Flyers or Kings to a lesser extent) can qualify as marquee franchises in the NHL. If one of the Maple Leafs, Bruins, Red Wings, Blackhawks, Canadiens,or Rangers advances to the finals or wins the Stanley Cup, it feels very different than the other teams making it or winning the Stanley cup. The Flyers back to back titles in the mid 1970s brought 2 millions on broad street (philly’s yonge street ) for each parade. When the rangers won in 1994, the media coverage on that team, and the buzz/hype around them was off the charts. Game 7 of Bruins/Canucks (the Bruins won the cup that night ) was the most viewed cup final game in years. The success of the Blackhawks (3 Stanley cups won between 2010 and 2015) rejuvenated hockey fandom in Chicago and created a massive fan base.
Imagine how crazy the media coverage, public interest, buzz/hype, etc would be if the Leafs finally make it to the cup finals, or even better win the cup after multiple decades of pure frustration since 1967. Leafs winning the cup would be as big as the Red Sox triumph in 2004, the 2016 Chicago cubs World Series title (their first title since 1908) or the 2017-18 Philadelphia eagles when it comes to cultural and historical significance, cultural/financial/social impact on the city, meaning to the fanbase, media hype and coverage, and buzz all across the sports world. It would truly be a watershed historical moment in pop culture/hockey/sports history.
Only the NY Knicks ( last NBA Championship was 1973 ) drought and cultural importance to their city is comparable to the Maple Leafs drought and cultural importance to Toronto. New York is the Mecca of basketball just like Toronto is the Mecca of hockey. Just like basketball and the Knicks in New York have deep roots and long history in New York’s social fabric and sports culture, hockey and the Maple Leafs have deep roots and long history in their city’s social fabric and sports culture. They are the biggest source of Civic pride for people here.
I thought about adding the Penguins to that list, but even though they won five Stanley cup titles, in fact they’re still a small market team who came in the first wave of expansion and they only have some prestige because they had three generational and legendary players in their history.( Lemieux, Jagr, and Crosby)
Oilers have Connor McDavid now had Wayne Gretzky before but despite their rich history, legendary players and multiple championships(5 cups), they don’t move the needle in North American sports and pop culture. They’re stuck in the same situation as the Pens.

Boy oh boy did they ever need that, if that game had finished otherwise, the alarm bells would have been deafening.
Game well played both up and down the lineup.
The big boy is either over the injury and he's recovered both mentally and physically, or he's still hurt but he finally said "to he'll with it" and went into the trainers room, and took the shot! I don't think modern players really do that anymore. So I'll go with he's fully recovered, and from the first shift gave the effort required to be the games 1st Star.

You're confused again - I wasn't comparing Marner avoiding contact to Nylander- that's your need showing.
Marner seems to be better at Matthews scoring. If you were watching the games you would see that Nylander makes even more and better setups, but it seems that Holmberg doesn't bury them as well as Matthews, so some people think that means Marner is a better passer.
