The most "This is over before it's actually over" series in the last few years.

[daver]

Sorry Leaf fans, but not too many people are believing the Leafs are coming back even though it's 3-2.

Has there been a series with more of a sense that there is no way a team can win than this one in the past few years?

Boston vs. Florida, 2023 playoffs.

Marchand's breakaway, oh lord.

Leafs will win Game 6 cause they have to lose in 7, it's the law.

Joking aside, Just this year Winnipeg-Dallas has felt over since Game 1. Perhaps even before the puck dropped in Game 1 since the Jets barely got thru Round 1 (and yes I know the Jets have won one game, but it just feels like they're delaying the inevitable).

With the Leafs I didn't feel it it was over (and it was dead man walking) until they lost in OT in Game 3.

Nah, the Leafs have a very legit chance. They score the first goal in game 6 and I think it will boost them. Though, if they get scored against I could see it being an avalanche against them.

Kings vs Oilers. Over before it was even certain they'd play each other.

You’re not fooling anyone here, daver.

Kings - Oilers

we all know it

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Since Kings vs Oilers has already been mentioned, here are a couple I think fit the bill:

Lightning vs Canadiens, 2021 SCF (4-1)
Panthers vs Hurricanes, 2023 ECF (4-0)

Ah yes, another thread to talk about the Leafs. Because we already didn't have enough. Very original topic.

I love it. Thread after thread everywhere about the exact same thing. And then they will all be gone after Sunday night.

Imagine not having any Cups since 1967 and everyone just assumes you're going to fail in the playoffs because you always do.

Must suck.
