GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators - 7pm -SN / CBC / TVAS - Round 1 | Game 6 - More Pressure, Another Must Win, It’s All Good

[um]

Max Pacioretty top 6 in 2025, lmao

The same thing happened last year on the Caps.

Getting that veteran on your team can be a disaster if the coach has a hard-on for them.

 

[NyQuil]

This has been my point too. I don't remember anyone giving the Leafs props for being the better team for moments in the series they lost. Only thing that matters is they lost.

Tampa outplayed Toronto most of the series they won in 2023. No one cares because they lost.

I don't care if it is in 4 or 7, just want a win

You spend way too much time worrying about who is giving you props.

I got to see a home win in OT in the stands in Game 4, a solid win in Game 5.

I’m pleased with how they handled being down 3-0. I’m happy that the Sens fans got to experience a home playoff win.

As you said, it’s the playoffs and sometimes it’s about the bounces one way or the other.

What other people say is irrelevant at this point. Just happy to watch some playoff hockey in Ottawa for a change, it’s been awhile.

I'm not talking about Sports media I am talking about the discussion threads on our humble forum here.

Okay? Most fans will agree that the Leafs are still greatly favored to win the series.

The only people who think this is over are traumatized Leafs fans and fans trying to meme the reverse sweep into existence.

I guess we were supposed to stop watching when the Senators went down 3-0 because there was a 1.9% chance of a comeback.

Of course it's unlikely. There's a reason it's only happened 4 times.

Still going to tune in though, why not?

Ok.

What happened to:

I want the sweep. I was a kid last time I saw it and didn't carry the trauma I do today from lack of experience. A sweep of the Sens would be very healing.

Speaking of narratives, yours changes every day.

 

[Golden_Jet]

And I also know that over an extended sample size that trend tends not to hold.

so your original post has no value then lol.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

If the Senators win this game, they are winning in 7. Leafs will be under ridiculous pressure.

 

[Opus]

Looking forward to hopefully seeing game 7 - buckle up!

 

[HockeyVirus]

Ok.

I mean if I had my pick I would prefer to go 16-0. But I am not losing sleep because the Senators beat the Leafs twice and they won in 6 for example. People are trying to make it an insult they lost a few games.

I've said it all along, Sens are a good team. They have elite players. I just believe Toronto is better. Doesn't mean Sens can't show what they have at moments of a 7 game series.

Yep. I think the Leafs close it tonight. They are likely to be better on the road, away from all this pressure.

But if they somehow don't. Yeah, I think they're f***ed having to play game 7 at home.

Lmfao, no you didn't

 

[sampollock]

when the figs were up 2 zip, SN was saying this could be over in 4
homers

 

[swiftwin]

I also don't get the whole "we've seen this before" meltdown from Leafs fans.

Didn't they just do this 2 years ago? Lost game 5 at home, then clinched the series in game 6 on the road?

Some guy actually burned his Marner jersey. I don't know what is in the water down there.

 

[jbeck5]

How many more players are going to score their first playoff goal against stolarz lol

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I just don't get why Pacioretty is even in the lineup, much less anywhere near the top six? Didn't McMann look good for most of the season with Tavares and Nylander?

 

[Strangle]

No idea why they wouldn’t put McMann with Tavares and Nylander considering how successful that combination was.

Max PatioReady might start on the second line, but I don’t expect him to last long before there’s an in-game line shuffle and he gets bumped down.

I liked patches more than I liked Nylander on Tuesday

Can we put Robertson in for Willie and keep patches on the 3rd line?

 

[Korpse]

Brady has the city ready to run through a wall tonight.

 

[Strangle]

Ok.

When the sweep was on the table, everyone but leaf haters wanted the sweep.

What does pointing that out prove?

 

[Hunter368]

No prediction about tonight, but look forward to watching it regardless of the outcome

 

[NyQuil]

When the sweep was on the table, everyone but leaf haters wanted the sweep.

I'd think a lot of neutrals wanted to see the series go longer.

What does pointing that out prove?

He's an unreliable narrator.

 

[elmaco]

Brady has the city ready to run through a wall tonight.

Messier vibes.

 

[cjm502]

We all know who is winning the next two games, it was foretold by the prophecy many moons ago

 

[Strangle]

I also don't get the whole "we've seen this before" meltdown from Leafs fans.

I was at the game 5 loss, really wanted that win at home. That’s why I was there. I usually don’t go.

But 1 win in OT to close out a series is easily forgotten by the many losses and absolute failures to close out a series.

Win tonight or even Saturday and those stats become better recently. 50/50 over the last 3 years.

Lose both of these games and …. Well all I can say is that it’s possible the leafs lose and it’s possible the leafs win. It’s up to them

Rather Pacioretty in our top 6, than not have a top 6 right now at all
