The Hurricanes have one of the three bests overall rosters in the league... it's only fair to talk about them winning a cup and they get a major piece back who was out for the entire playoffs

*In your opinion*. In my opinion, Toronto has 1 of the 2 best rosters in the NHL... doesn't mean that you agree with it

Lol, the Leafs ended up out shooting the Lightning in 3/6 games and Sammy stole 1 game... To add, in G1, the Leafs were on multiple 5 on 3s bc of the Bunting hit (who's the Canes' problem now) and had 4 of those goals scored on the PP, while playing like dogsh1t... And that's rich coming from a canes fan, the only thing the Canes have proven, is that they find a way to choke harder than the Leafs

Hmm... I don't remember the Hurricanes blowing a 4-1 lead in the third period of a game 7 but clearly my memory must be faulty

I don’t remember the leafs ever getting swept 🧹 either 😂

So do the leafs, but funny you have one winning the cup and the other crashing out in 1st round 🤔. But keep up the ‘objective’ analysis 😂

In what world... Outside of your top six... your depth is pretty average, the defense doesn't stand out, and the goaltending is just a little above average

But I do remember them cutting off Ray Ferraro when their defence gave up a pizza to Filip Chytil to make it 5-1 for the rangers in G7

It’s true, I don’t live in the same world you do 🫤. You have us finishing with 120 points but our team is garbage 🤔; you need to take a break

I'm not saying your team is garbage... I'm saying your team gets carried by high-end talent... there is a difference

Yep... I could've done a worse write-up and have them blow a 4-1 lead in the third period of a game 7 as well

It's not just Hurricanes fans that are saying this... I usually the pessimistic fan but I've decided to drink the Kool-Aid this off season

I also recall us scoring 3 goals against the canes in less than a minute to spank the Canes 😄 good times

I get you want to get more attention, so you bring that in... But why? To get all the angry Leafs fans to point out your G7 history?

Typically, history doesn't rewrite itself... but with the Canes constantly flaming out in elimination games, I'll make an exception

Ummm... we've won a good majority of the game 7's we've played... We won 6 game 7's in a row before the 2022 game 7 against the Rangers and we are 6-4 overall

The next generation 8-6 one? the one where the Canes had a 4-1/5-1 lead and blew it? I was at that game and it was a very fun to watch

That's rich coming from a Canucks fan, whose team had the expectation to make the playoffs for 2 years in a row... and ended up being a bottom 10 team in the worst division in hockey

The Canucks have sucked but have more round 2 wins in the past 5 years than the Leafs in the past 18~. The Canucks were also not a bottom 10 in either of the last 2 years. Not a single thing you said makes sense. If an embarrassing team like the Canucks have more playoff success in the last decade than the Leafs, that probably says something right?

And yet, Boston owns you too in recent history... At least, the Leafs were rivals to the Bruins and were still relevant when they sucked

As a Leafs fan, I find it pretty comical that you are trying to downplay other team’s playoff success. What do the Leafs have to show for in the last 15 years? 1 round 2 victory?
