Because you have 1 cup and plenty of good hockey years

Bunting worked out better than I could have predicted.






All three staff Bunting mentions in this clip are now in significant roles with the Leafs

Kyle Dubas - General Manager
Sheldon Keefe - Head Coach
Wes Clark - Director, Amateur Scouting

Dubas and Keefe’s first full 82 game season.
54-21-7 - 115 pts.

In the 40-year span from 1978 to 2017, only four players selected first or second in the NHL draft have not appeared in a playoff game.

Florida's Sam Reinhart will graduate from that list this year.

Jack Eichel will not.

Nail Yakupov and Patrik Stefan are the two others.


Poor guy.

When you got doubts you ain't going no where or that doubt will come back to bite

You want Toronto to go on a run throw that doubt away. As hope will keep them going

Remember last year Button doubted Mtl would not win a game vs. Toronto look what happened

I know Tampa won back to back but so did Pittsburgh and they lost to Washington after the second cup.

Its the playoffs and when you got 2 strong teams going at it, it's anyone's game. If we doubt then we're playing right into Tampa's hands


If the leafs themselves are doubting, then of course they setting themselves up to lose. For a couple of us random people online with no real affiliation to the leafs, it doesn’t matter what we think, even remotely. Who wins is completely out of our hands, no matter how much we believe in them. I believe in God but I certainly don’t believe he cares who wins the cup lol. It’s between the leafs and the lightning.

I don't want Capitals & Pittsburgh to get a generational player until at least 3 years after Crosby/Ovechkin retire

Let's make no mistake. The Leafs are the favourites in this series. The pressure is entirely on them. And If they think for a second "oh no, not again" the series is over.

Also, if you've been an obnoxious "this year is our year, most complete team in the league" leaf fan all year and you're suddenly playing coy because something is on the line, shame on you.

Go Bolts Go.

You think the leafs are the favourites? I don’t think I agree there.

Too Bad Bedard doesn’t care about Lehkonen. Motte is his favourite player

McDavid and Draisaitl sitting out for the final game. I guess they are preparing what they are gonna do in the playoffs.

Not show up…


McDavid-22 points in 21 playoff games (including a Hat Trick)
Drai-27 points in 21 playoffs games ( including a Hat Trick)

The sharks play so disappointing infront of Kahkonen

That guy deserves more wins/ goals every time he’s been in net.

Am I the only one that’s slightly bothered by the fact that there’s 1 more regular season game a day before the playoffs start, between 2 non playoff teams?
