Post-Series Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs defeat the Ottawa Senators, 4-2

[Sens9292]

Tkachuk is a terrible captain, thank you for running around and trying to hit everything and spotting the Leafs the first goal.

Glad the Sens are happy with a 60 point winger being their top player.

He dominated in this series while clearly injured. Troll.

 

[MarioBalotelli]

Without question it was ending tonight.

Toronto is too good to lose 3-4 in a row.

Should really have swept them. In the future that probably goes 4.

 

[joepeps]

ohh shit... Matthews just gave the sens the respect in the handshake line

 

[Aashir]

sens need to get better at faceoffs

this is the only series I've watched where faceoffs played such a key role in the outcome. Multiple of our goals came from us winning a faceoff and scoring within 10 seconds

 

[Maplebeasts]

Sens are legitimately good. I do not want to play them again next year.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Pretty good series, but no forecheck by the Sens, they lost 90% of the board battles though

 

[hamzarocks]

Not quite but best 3rd wheel in the league though.

Best of the 3 this series followed by Marner then Matthews

He delivered with a great series and again the best elimination game guy of the 3

Hopefully this carries over to FLR

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

THIS TEAM IS DIFFEEENT 100% PROOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LEAFS 5-0 VS OTTAWA IN THE PLAYOFFS

FLORIDA IS NEXT

They beat a team with no goaltender. Now thewy will play one of the best.

Imagine taking 6 games to beat a team that didn't have any business even making the playoffs.

Weird. I could have sworn that you need to get enough points to make the playoffs, and if you do you make the playoffs. Tell me more about the other business teams need to do to make the playoffs.

 

[FinlandPanther]

The core 4 showed up against the most inexperienced team in the playoffs and leafs fans are gloating lmao. Don’t worry Ottawa, you guys played well for your first playoffs in a while. Florida is going to torture them in every way imaginable.

 

[Peiskos]

Imagine taking 6 games to beat a team that didn't have any business even making the playoffs.

Ottawa finished with nearly 100 points (97) and finished 12th place in a 32 team league...not exactly scrubs.

 

[Mr Hat]

Absolute perseverance by the refs. Congrats for gifting game 1 and game 6. They battled hard and didn’t give up.

 

[Gjman2019]

Series was a blast..That's why i wanted it so much down the stretch.....Great Season Ottawa , hope you guys are a fixture in the playoffs for a long time !!!!

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Congrats Leafs fans! What a series. Proud of my Sens, but you guys deserve it!

 

[BayStBullies]

gg

 

[swiftwin]

ohh shit... Matthews just gave the sens the respect in the handshake line

He's a expert at receiving it

 

[notbias]

He dominated in this series while clearly injured. Troll.

Dominated what?

He scored 3 points last game, but didn't help too much outside of that.

 

[Maplebeasts]

They beat a team with no goaltender. Now thewy will play one of the best.

Eh Stolarz also let in some pretty questionable goals throughout the series. Both goalies were fine but nothing spectacular.

 

[SharksFan1992]

Has anyone seen this guy? I'm genuinely concerned for his safety.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Imagine taking 6 games to beat a team that didn't have any business even making the playoffs.

They should have finished ahead of Florida.

 

[Hank Plank]

Domi saved the Toronto franchise.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Florida will be a huge test. The Leafs do clog the ice up well, but when they're playing with a lead they do need to be more aggressive. You can't sit back.

 

[BayStBullies]

Congrats Leafs fans! What a series. Proud of my Sens, but you guys deserve it!

Good experience, you'll be back again stronger. Next team is Bettman's angels, the winner was always f***ed.

 

[NoName]

Losing two games is hardly a 'bye'.

Toronto is 5-0 vs Ottawa in playoff series. Like it or not, The Battle of Ontario has effectively been guaranteed win for the Leafs one way or another. Same thing as how Boston has completely owned Toronto in the 1st round over the same time. Sometimes one franchise just always seems to be able to dominate the other when it counts. It is a bit weird, not sure why you see patterns like this sometimes.
