You're a f***ing loser.

 

Kind of early to be drinking?

What's funny about this series is that Montreal fans have shown how backwards they are.

 

Leafs winning or losing does nothing to either hurt or harm Montreal's team.

Montreal owns Florida's 1st round pick in 2023.

Florida's place in the playoffs directly impacts where that pick will end up.

Them beating the Leafs hurts Montreal's team as it directly impacts the value of one of their assets.

Habs fans still cheer against the Leafs, because they hate the Leafs more than they love the Habs. I get cheering against your rivals...but even when it's actually detrimental to your own team?? Leafs will always be in the heads of Habs fans.

 

If the roles were reversed, I'd want that pick to be as high as possible. I want the best chance possible for my team to draft a piece that could be a valuable core piece of my team for years to come, and hopefully a piece that is part of a championship squad. And before I hear the, 'the draft is a crapshoot' argument...There's a reason 1st rounders make it, and are typically stars way way more often and frequently than 7th rounders. The earlier you pick, the greater likelihood of getting a player that will become something significant. That's just common sense. I would want every advantage I could possibly get when rebuilding my team, even it's it's only picking 5-10 spots earlier. That's not an insignificant thing in the 1st round.

 

As for being down 2-0? I'm so used to this kinda thing I'm numb to it...I just thought the Habs angle was amusing.

What do you mean 'looks'

[jaysblue]

You guys have to beLEAF!

I'll watch and hope for the best.

 

The Leafs make mistakes and make bad decisions every game. They don't do it as often as in the past but it's who they are. They get cute and it blows up in their face. The need a goalie that will bail them out...I don't see Sammy doing that. It's been a long time since they've had a goalie that you believe will steal games. Not 'can'....'Will'

Lets face it, they were never a playoff team. They always fold under pressure, it's their legacy.

It's the wrong mix. Need to make changes to the core. Most of the team is very good...but there's something missing.

There's a very high likelihood that's the case.

Panthers are a much better team than people give them credit for. They literally won the President's Trophy the year prior and than absolutely fleeced the Calgary Flames for Matthew Thachuk. Seeding has been the only reason they have been considered underdogs in the playoffs. They collectively has much talent as any team remaining in the playoffs.

George Parros continuing to show he doesn’t know what he’s doing in DoPS.

Florida has been the best bet in the playoffs thus far. Every game they've been paying $1.70 against the Leafs.

Sooooooo Knies has a concussion. Poor kid. He’s such a help out there. Let’s hope we’re still in it when he’s ready to return.

[RobinThicc]

How do the leafs finally win a round but still find a way to end their season pissing off fans lol

They are who they are

[Jonn]

This is about as far as I thought the Leafs could go. I had them beating Tampa but I didn't think they had the Goaltending to win a Cup this year. They also have a bunch of 3rd pair Defenseman shuffling in and out of the lineup. They need another high end D to compliment Riley. Giordano is barely passable at this point but if you ask Leafs fans Justin Holl was the only problem. Finding out now that's not the case lol.

Hoping not to see either come next season.

No s***, Jonn.

[Horses Fart]

Must win. Let’s f***in go.

[Krylian]

These f***ers better not start the second period with that same dazed and confused approach again.

[Krylian]

So another garbage start to the 2nd period. Odd man rush leads to Schenn taking a penalty, crashing into Samsonov, and knocking him out of the game all on one play.

[Krylian]

And there's the tying goal

[Horses Fart]

I swear the f*** this team has s*** for brains.

What you see from a lot of teams in the playoffs is that they play desperate and with a chip on their shoulder. Leafs play scared and entitled.

[Spanky__99]

Holl is ALWAYS out of position, every f***ing shift, my heart can't take this.

Gonna be the first Leaf signing in the off-season.

[Jonn]

Panthers are such a fun squad.

[Horses Fart]

Past the first round or not this Org needs some major changes. Hope we gets swept to put me out of misery.
