Well, we're getting a post-mortem from the analysts already.

 

[MC74]

This one's a slaughter.

 

[MC74]

Gonna be fun watching the Panthers take game 6 while their trash-ass fans chant "USA".

 

[canadaguy]

They sure as shit ain't chanting it in Vegas baby

 

[canadaguy]

The game 3 0.4 second left game winner was the last goal Vegas scored in the series

Nope, and if it plays out like I expect, we're gonna see a rematch in the WCF between Dallas & Edmonton. This feels like the late 90s-early 2000s with these teams meeting each other all the time.

 

[canadaguy]

Now I hope every other series goes 7 games all triple OT

 

[MC74]

Depending on how the next game goes for Toronto, that might be the end of the line with my patience with this core.

Maybe the only way this doesn't happen is if regular season hellebuyck steals the games

Like they are at what 8 strikes at this point?

Yeah, 8 years of this and it's now come to a point where you just have to put your foot down. I was very, very patient with this team, but now we've gone through 2 coaches, 2 GMs, and are on our 3rd with each. We've made trades and shuffled pieces in & out of the lineup, yet the result is the same and the same issues persist. After all that, where else can you look but the players?

This is going to fucking hurt. This is the most exciting the Leafs have ever been since I was in elementary. Our rebuild looked as if we were going to be a team to be reckoned with for years to come. The promise was there, we had the talent, but alas, it never translated into postseason success. Instead, the Leafs have been spinning their tires for the last 8 years while other teams went on to have success. It's frustrating watching them pass you by.

 

[MC74]

Congrats, @Fire Queen. The Canes are off to the ECF.

 

[Crystal]

Not bad getting past the Caps!

 

[MC74]

Might have the rematch from 2023 if the Panthers win tomorrow.

I hope they all get gonorrhea instead.

I hope they all get gonorrhea instead.

They could get that and still beat the Leafs. That's the sad part about the current state of the Maple Leafs with this core.

 

[Fire Queen]

winning in 5 was certainly beyond my expectations but i'm certainly rooting to get matched up against the leafs rather than the Bettman Brigade

 

[MC74]

Knies caught an elbow to the chest. Not good.

No penalty I bet

 

[MC74]

No penalty I bet

It wouldn't have been called anyway.

 

[MC74]

About time, you cunts. The lack of urgency & hustle from this team in the second had me frustrated.
