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


Yep, leafs and habs fans are some of the most opinionated fanbases with some of the biggest fluctuation in opinions

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?

Next Rnd:
Bruins/Isles winner vs TB/Car winner

Wpg vs MTL/TO winner vs Col/Vegas winner


It's based on seeding.

Sh*t on Dermott all you want, but it was Gallagher’s idiotic play that lost Toronto the game. He had no-one on him, and absolutely no reason to even elevate the puck.


What are you talking about?

This thread will probably get to page 54 by tomorrow ... then after TOR-MTL game 7, if the Leafs win it'll be at page 58 ... if the Habs win, it'll be at page 61 lol.

The Leafs lose 2 games in a row, and the fans want to trade every one. Meanwhile Dallas went from almost Stanley cup champions to not even making the playoffs, and the fans are as chill as can be (except after Comeau, which is 100% understandable).

He single handedly cost us at least 5 games this season because he gave the puck to the other team, and maybe even more.

That too. Dellandrea was in the AHL over Comeau, who was playing 16 minutes a night, Gurianov and Kiviranta were on the 4th line because of Comeau. He basically ruined all of our youth. Plus we were 5-0 with a goal differential of 22-6 without him.

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


Yea he's a 11m aav valued regular season player playoffs he's worth around 3 lol. Matthews also, McDavid just fricken flopped this playoffs, Draisaitl as well. I mean if I'm talking best player in the world I'd have to say that Mackinnon could take that spot if he wins a cup this year, how can you not do that? I mean McDavid is around a point per game now in the playoffs and Mackinnon is like 1.4/1.5. what makes McDavid better if he can't do better than Mackinnon when it matters.

By outscore I mean he will directly affect more goals than all of Vegas. So if Mackinnon has 10 pts Vegas as a team will score 9 goals.

I have a question for @EsoYeezus69 :

Would you rather have playoff Comeau or playoff Marner?

Tough one, but I’d choose Comeau, and I’m saying this seriously. Comeau has a tendency of injuring players because he can’t stand on his two feet to save his life. Comeau has the strength to injure players while Marner doesn’t, they’re both sh*t come playoff time, but Comeau can get scratched or benched while Marner can’t because it’ll make the franchise look bad. Plus Comeau is 8 million dollars cheeper. The only down side of Comeau is that you never know when he’ll throw away a game.

Not to pick on anyone directly, but I still remember all of those Heiskanen for Marner deals perfectly. Boy they didn’t age well at all.

Value would be fair if marner was paid like 9.5m
