GDT: SEASON FINALE | Leafs @ Devils | 7PM CBC | It All Comes Down To This! (Leo is Back!)

[Divine]

Anyone see Lou's face after that goal? Never seen a GM so happy after being scored on while losing the game.

 

[Stats01]

I love this game so far. Babcock's ice time for this line-up tonight is hilarious lol. Lou is also loving it, smiling up in the box thinking of Matthews donning a Leafs jersey

 

[Swervin81]

New Jersey fans have a special kind of dislike for the Leafs I find. Yeah we aren't well liked but compared to a team board like the Rangers there's less animosity there than on NJ's board.

I think it's holdovers from those early 2000's playoffs.

It definitely is. Whenever I go to the Rangers board, there actually seems to be a bit of a mutual respect between us and the Rangers. We both know how it feels like to be a big market hated on by everyone with a massive inferiority complex and we definitely both know what ridiculously long cup droughts feel like, so theres a lot of "hey, I know that feel" between the 2 fanbases.

But yeah, we faced the Devils, what, 3 times between 98-02? Hell, look at how much Isles fans hate us and that was just one ****ing series lol.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Ya they are competing Mike haha

Seriously ! LOL

 

[p.l.f.]

had to check to see if nylander was in the lineup

 

[MarMarSab3]

Yay insurance



Under 20 years old, right?

No actually double that number.

 

[finnbalor*]

I want Zacha to score to see the Devils board blow up like Chris Farley talking about dah Bears...

Who would win in a game between three Zachas with two Sartinis vs the NHL Allstars but to make it fair the NHL Allstars get to ice 15 players at the same time.

shanny made a fart joke. Nothing to see here.

If we end up at 30th place, what are the chances, that we will not have a pick in top 3?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Please hold on; would be an awesome birthday present after the Jays decided to not play today..

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Sparks is a huge part of solidifying our rightful place. He knows what to do .... And is doing it !!!!!!

 

[Stand Witness]

If we end up at 30th place, what are the chances, that we will not have a pick in top 3?

Just under 50%.

 

[Kurisu]

If we end up at 30th place, what are the chances, that we will not have a pick in top 3?

i think it was 48%

 

[Turk Broda]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Nylander goal right about now. Followed by an Elias goal to keep that 2 goal cushion. lol

 

[Clark4Ever]

The few times i went to Buffalo were my favorites as you get a lot of the real Leaf fans come out and sell out half the building that vould be ehy i found it quite louder in there. Now playoffs at the ACC are fantastic

Agreed. I've been to Leaf games in Buffalo many times, and the several thousand Leaf fans there are louder than the 18,000 fans at the ACC.

The last decade sucked the life out of the ACC, but it will get better as the team becomes competitive.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

47% or near that

 

[p.l.f.]

there he is

 

[Leafidelity]

No actually double that number.

Didnt mean that as an insult, I just heard that a lot from younger fans.

ACC - much like the Dome - goes wild if you give them a reason to cheer.

 

[MJ65]

So how is every one doing? are we on cloud 7 as yet?

 

[garce]

Anyone see Lou's face after that goal? Never seen a GM so happy after being scored on while losing the game.

Just proud of his draft pick Henrique.

 

[deletethis]

2 defensemen on the PP. Yeah, really trying hard to win.

 

[Nithoniniel]

I don't know if it's that. It's more monkey see monkey do. They just do it because everyone else is doing it and don't ask why. It's kind of cute to see teams we have no history with like Anaheim or San Jose get all bothered when we play them.
You can't blame Canadian regionalism or "HNIC used to be Leafcentric" if you come from some of those markets.
In the end it only produces more attention on every single thing going on with us. If you really want the Leafs to go away just ignore us.

Hell, it's even the same in Swedish newspaper. A normal NHL article has barely any comments, but an article about the Leafs will have a bunch of people bashing the Leafs for whatever.

 

[Unhealthy Scratch]

I have always gotten that same vibe from Rangers fans as well

Would be quite the spectacle to face them in a playoff series

This is exactly why other fanbases hate the Leafs.Leaf fans outnumber their's 10-1 and every arena is full of Leaf fans cheering against the home team(unless you're in TO).

To be fair, we did destroy Peca and Niedermayer.
