I haven't read the last few pages of this thread yet, but it was moving so slowly ...

Then the Leafs lost and I had like 6 pages to get caught up on lol ...

I'm 100% serious here...

If TOR loses tomorrow get rid of Marner for 75% value if necessary. Dude's been TERRIBLE, like invisible for what, FIFTEEN playoff games now?? This is unacceptable, especially when you consider he has an almost 11M AAV

Should trade him for Leo Komorav who is a point per game player in this isles-Bruins series right now

LOL

LOL, HABS, LFG

Things I'd rather do as a Leaf fan than to watch Monday's game:

-clean public restrooms
-watch the Star Wars sequel trilogy on loop for 1 week
-travel to the north pole BY FOOT wearing only shorts and a t-shirt
-spend my life in the desert
-stumble upon a venomous snake while I do the above thing
-spend an hour on Twitter and try to not lose faith in humanity
-visit North Korea
-while I'm at it, pull a Dennis Rodman and befriend Kim Jung-Un
-try not to get mad at my IAs in NHL games
-listen to Despacito on loop for a month
-herd cats
-fight off 6 crocodiles like I'm Steve Irwin
-try not to cringe at Jimmy Fallon's laugh
-try to not laugh at flat earthers
-watch one episode of «Keeping up with the Kardashians»
-go on a 15 hour flight with a crying kid
-scratch my head to find more ideas for this list

Well LeafsNation.

On Monday, we either wipe the curse, or prove it exists.

Go leafs Go

Now, I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this, but I think it was unfair that the habs are allowed fans and we aren’t. It gives them an advantage. It should either be both teams have fans, or neither.

The fans weren’t the reason MTL won, but they definitely got in the leafs head.

The NHL won't pass up on sweet revenue, and i mean not all American teams have the same max capacity

Florida

So for round 1 i am 4-3 right now and my round 2 predictions are
Boston
Tampa
Colorado
Winnipeg ( don't see Habs or Leafs beating them right now )

I'm with you. The way Winnipeg dealt with McDavid. That lineup is dialed top to bottom. Everyone rocked up. Paul Maurice has his guys ready to go deep.


Side note. How does the next round work? Would it be North vs West - East vs Central or does it come down to seeding?

Bruins/Isles winner vs TB/Car winner

Wpg vs MTL/TO winner vs Col/Vegas winner

Kotkaniemi is GOAT

kotkaniemi is the finnish nick bonino

useless in the regular season but totally clutch in the playoffs

Seeding, 1 v 4, 2 v 3

Kotkaniemi is still good in the regular season, doesn't help though that Ducharme seems to not like him

Thank god I'm not a Leafs fan - ill just hold onto my 2016 Sharks and 2019.

Saying that in a joking way; but if Toronto does lose this series, I cannot wait to see the public reaction.

Which, we have to remember MTL actually was a good pick earlier in the year to go deep and that changed over the course of the year. But the biggest issue continues to be the Leafs beating themselves... which is not a slight to the Habs but it is what it is. Also it's actually shocking a professional coach or manager has not told the leafs to stop slamming their heads against the wall on the PP. They literally aren't doing new things. Marner also is a negative shooting threat (meaning Price literally has zero worry when Marner is on the PP going for the shot). Id have to think they are not this dumb to keep running Thornton and Marner on their PP. Meanwhile the Habs are embracing KK, Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Letting the kids do their **** and damn they look ****ing good on the ice. MTL wouldn't trade KK, Suzuki, Cole 1 for 1 with any of the Leafs players not named Matthews I'd say. Even then Caufield I doubt would be considered a movable assets for Matthews.. I think MTL is gonna stick these kids together for a while in MTL. Gotta cheer for those kids now cause they provide some fun hockey.

Doubt either winner is gonna enjoy seeing WPG tho

I can't agree with that.

Can the Devils take him for free ?

Leafs fan will tell you you can have him for a 7th because he sucks and is overpaid

KK>McDavid

Some Leaf fans would ask for Hughes, Ty, and Blackwood in return and some Leaf fans would give him up fora 7th. This site is going to be crazy once the leafs lose

A part of me wants the leafs to win because of my bracket and I think they are the better team

But a part of me wants them to lose because... leaf fans
