Is this some new take on the reverse jinx? A hyper jinx aiming to cause an arithmetic overflow?
The Leafs are now an elite team

Interestingly enough, Leafs actually are mediocre in most advanced stat categories, but they have probably had the second-best goaltending in the league, which has been carrying.
I'd say they sink or swim depending on how well Stolarz does in the playoffs for them.

You'd think toronto fans would have brains in year 2025 but here they are patting themselves on the back once again primed to get beat by a team that hasn't made the playoffs in like 7 years.

been hearing the same shit since 1967.
Everyone here probably just hope the Leafs stop winning the cup every year

Who was the last team to win a Stanley Cup with Morgan Reilly(This version) or Chris Tanev as their best defenseman? I don’t see it. They’re a lot of fun, and I wouldn’t mind seeing them go on a run, but I can’t get past that.

Pittsburgh won in 2017 with Justin Schultz as their best dman lol.
They did get to play teams with Kyle Turris and Colten Scissons as their #1 centres in the last two rounds however.

If Ottawa wins this series I don't think leaf fans will ever forgive the core guys.

Been “elite” ever since they got tavares
Regular season means nothing. You start brand new in the playoffs your regular season wins, goals, regular season awards don’t mean anything come playoff time and that goes for every team not just the leafs.
Even if they get past the first round against Ottawa (who is far from Florida or Tampa) it doesn’t mean anything. 1 round of 4 and only going to get harder.

Yep. That’s probably the best example. It’s an outlier unfortunately.
Following hockey must be miserable when 95% of the games are meaningless. Why even bother watching a single match before June?

Win the SC first. After that, it’d be appropriate to discuss whether the TML are elite.

Found the leafs fan.
Whole point is to make the playoffs and get the favourable seeding. There’s a reason “Regular season champs” and “Stanley cup champions” aren’t the same thing

Why do the Leafs fans do this to themselves? Have you all learned nothing?
Hard for brains to learn/remember stuff when choking has deprived them of oxygen for almost 60 years.

...I dunno; I think patience is running out within Leafland these days...if they blow it against Ottawa, I think both Marner and Tavares are moving on, whether it's their choice or ShanaPlan's...
