Which series will be the most physical?

[swiftwin]

Who’s going to “pound” the Leafs exactly? Stutzle? lol “one way abuse” ok I know exactly what you’re trying to do lol

rielly is alot of things, but he isn't soft come playoff time. He takes and gives hits when he's playing in a series.

McCabe is tougher than any sens top 4 dman. Tanev and Carlo can hang with any of the sens top 4 physicality wise

Tkachuk is a monster yea, but Greig, Amadio, Cousins are bottom sixers. Stutlze is marner level soft.

Both teams are pretty physical, and that second statement is just all around false.

Stutzle has more hits than Matthews, Marner and Nylander combined (130 vs 108).

Maybe you should actually watch him playing instead of just regurgitating what Habs fans say.

Oilers-Kings 100%. The Oilers are banged up and the Kings will want revenge after getting spanked in the playoffs by the Oilers. It's now or never for the Kings and they will bring the pain.

Oh yeah, watch out for the big bad Kings lol

West coast law: everyone must throw down or you're yellow.

Using regular season hits to describe playoff Matthews

Maybe you should actually watch him play

Note: Matthews had 26 hits in 5 games last year vs the Bruins

[Brent Burns]

Jets Blues game 1 was HEAVY. Blues were putting the body on everyone you had to take the hit to make the play

Blues threw 32 hits in the first period. Not sure I have ever seen that many hits recorded in a period.

Stutzle has more hits than, Marner, Matthews, Nylander combined. He has 6 less than McCann on the leafs. @Aashir

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

That is surprising, I never really have them as a physical team.

Ok, good. I hope Toronto and Ottawa both destroy each other in their series

Ottawa vs Leafs

 

[Mrb1p]

All of then except Canes/NJD and Toronto/Ottawa.

One is two soft teams, the other is one uber soft team and one team full of rats/divers.

Playoff Matthews? You mean the single reason why the Leafs have never had any PO success? Yikes.

I dont know why I even bother responding .

Success or no success Matthews is always among the most physical players in every playoff series.

What? Man, theres video evidence of every single games, dont lie.

2023-24 26 Hits in 5 games vs Boston
2022-23 38 Hits in 11 games vs Tampa and Florida
2021-22 32 Hits in 7 games vs Tampa
2020-21 25 Hits in 7 games vs Montreal

Leads the next closest Leaf by 43 hits in that time frame (20-24), and if you actually watch he is hitting hard.

We dun watched a game!

Stutzle was about as physical as my grandma at bingo.

Your grandma must be an absolute animal.

He had a game high in hits and was highlighted as someone who should tone down the physicality during intermission.

He had more than double the hits of any leaf.

Played like shit though.

 

[Johniac]

Does Markstrom's hit bring the Canes-Devils series into the mix lol?

 

[Keystone]

Calmed in the 3rd but first 40 mins of Jets-Blues game 2 was wild physically. A couple highlight reel hits from both sides.
