Thanks Paul for acknowledging my insight, although I was hoping I was wrong. Gee, I can't believe how bad the Leafs defence has been in it's own end. The key to any teams success is NOT to be in own defensive zone so much (true in any sport). And to folks that suggest trades, having Karlsson, or Carlson or McDonagh or Doughty would have changed the fortunes this year....very doubtful. Leafs just have to be collectively better in future games, if next this playoff but next year.
Has JVRs play this playoffs diminished his UFA contract value?
With my friends we have sports pools, which I have participated since 1975. Our playoff point consists of scoring points by individual players. 14 players, a draft, players can't be selected twice. Gee did I get razzed when I loaded up on Bruins, despite being a loyal (but realistic) Leaf fan.
In the poll on this thread.....I had Boston winning in five. . Funny, a win in game three by the Leafs, makes it a series again. Sure the Kings, Ducks, Wild, Avs, Devils are thinking the same thing.
Daryl, I sincerely hope you are correct in your assessment. But vicious and unforgiving Leafs crowd? Gee, I've been attending Leaf games since the 1960s and Leaf fans rarely are that way. Heck, the Raptors crowd are more "scary."
Leafs fans are scary palhal. Deluded with bias and bubbling with pride they make for every other teams worst nightmare. Only Canucks fans can out match them.
