LEAFS SUCK!


/THREADLOCKTHATBITCHUP!!!

HAHAHA you mad bro ? This thread has proved you don't know sh!t. Why lock it up when we Get into the playoffs LOL..You scared your not going to make it ?

Not mad...just hate watching you gloat about a dumb luck shot at the cup.

Deep, all I want is for Price to get a chance to have the Cup. I'm more a follower of goalies, and always liked MTL goalies. He's great (except that one game with 3 goals in the span of no minutes :p) so want him to win. I was always more for a team because the guys WANTED to be there, bot because the contracts they got gave them better money somewhere. Also one of the reasons I like Brodeur, sticks to the team because he likes it. All that free-agent business is gimmicks ant to me means a player isn't worth his salt in loyalty. Give me a team that has players that fight for their team and not their contracts, and you'll have me cheering for them. Just not the Leafs

Actually that game was last Saturday against the leafs. 5 shots and 4 goals but he had a week off. So clearly that didn't help him.

And as for your reference to "pay cheque players" yes..there's more of them in the league than players who play the sport for what it is..a game.

We call them "suitcase's"..like Marian Hossa..he's a suitcase because he had a price tag on him even after all the mentoring Jacques Martin gave him within the Sens organiztion. I'd like to say the same about Mike Fisher but come on..I think his wife is priceless and I would have done the same.

The Leafs have an honest shot at going Deep (LOL) into the playoffs. Philly isn't in contention this year, and they've been the bane of the Leafs during playoffs. I see Boston and Pittsburgh as potential problems.

Leafs and Montreal want to avoid each other. Whoever wins that tuffle would be exhausted. It would be the best series to watch, but a cake walk for whoever met them in the next round. This is a wet dream for Stanley Cup Finals fans...not at this early stage.

Montreal will most likely only have to worry about Pittsburgh or the Leafs. Hard to say how they'll translate into the first round with all those rookies. Will they become "wendal clarkes" (who I feel was one of the greatest Playoff team players), or crash under the pressure? And what of their goalie? Will the Price be Right when it counts?

The Sens are in a bad place. They have their best chance against the Capitals. But can they pull it together??? On paper they have a robust playoff team. But scissors beats paper, and which team has the sharp edges to take out the boys in red, black and white?

Poor Jets. Even if they afterburn their way into the post season, they simply won't have the fuel left for anything substantial. Cake walk for their opponents. Prediction: Jerseys will revert back to the famed "Bobby Clarke edition" next year.

Yeah Price is good goalie. Top 5 In the league for sure. But I don't think he will win a cup with MTL anytime soon. The team is not there yet. And Mike honestly, no one wants to play for Senators. Simple as that, Just look at Hossa, Heatly, Chara and so on.

Steve you hit the nail on the head. Even Bruins are not the same old Bruins anymore. I don't mind facing either MTL or BOS. But I do think we can make a lot of noise this year in the playoffs.

And when thr Leafs used to make the playoffs they'd usually lose to the Senators....neither team is going anywhere.

Well, That sure wraps up your hockey knowledge


The Leafs have NEVER lost to the Senators in the playoffs.

My apologies if I don't recall everything from my single digit years correctly...I'm sure you don't remember every little detail from your childhood either. The point is, they lost. And will probably continue to do so

I found a pic of you DEEP, my god you lost weight

It's too bad that the Jets fizzled out.

Now we're battling for positions!

The Sens actually have a chance of overtaking the Leafs in the standings. Not a good chance, but a chance.

If Montreal can pull it together, they could potentially overtake Boston.

More excitement in this miniature season...anything can happen.

I'll be coming out with my predictions on the season's end.

Leafs return home after the news that we made the playoffs. Energy at the rink will be insane! I'm calling a 3-0 win, and another shutout for Reimer!

GO LEAFS GO

So we're in. Who's laughing now?

What took so long?!

Ahhh, I don't know about 3-0, I think its going to be a close game. Its about time Mike.

Maybe the Hunters should run the leafs?

Ever since they took over the London Knights they've always had winning seasons, including making some records and the Cup.

Montreal may have beat the leafs, but at work, after packing their personals, we covered the compartment with Toronto Maple Leafs stuff. >:D

I hate these lopsided games between MTL and Tor. But I'm sure playoffs it will be different. that's if we meet.


So Today's game Ottawa against Boston decides everything. I don't mind facing Boston in the first round but MTL would be a dream matchup. Ottawa NEEDS TO LOSE today.

3. Things can happen,

1.Ottawa wins Reg or OT and faces MTL
2.Ottawa loses in OT and faces Boston
3.Ottawa Loses in Regulation and faces Pens.


Hoping for number 2 or 3!!!

I don't know... Ottawa vs Montreal sounds tempting too; would have a lot of my favorite french swearing going in both in the stands and player's bench....Tabarnak!

True, But Ottawa's one of the most boring teams to watch, They average 1-2 goals a game LOL.

Well they average that playing at home. As you know, all teams step it up in the playoffs. That's when the rivalries between teams really shows. Either way, I'll be watching all MTL's games

So...the Battle of Ontario hits a new high.
How do we decide who wins?

First to be knocked out?
If there's a tie, it goes to a goal differential?
Or does it ever end? LOL

My prediction:
Pittsburgh in 5
Montreal in 5
Washington in 6
Boston in 6

Ottawa has a good playoff group...but if Price steps it up (i.e. finds his playoff groove) Montreal is going all the way to meet Pittsburgh. Montreal has a good mix of rookie and playoff vets. Then again...will the Adams Division curse come to haunt the Habs?

It's unfortunate that Toronto meets a team that has their number. Playoffs are different...and Boston may have a blown tire. But I just can't see the Leafs in the post season. Experience isn't there as a team to this next level. They need someone like Wendal Clarke, a playoff leader that galvanizes the team to new heights.

I'm predicting

Pittsburgh in 4
Montreal in 7
Washington in 6
Leafs in 7

I agree with you Steve, the experience isn't there for the Leafs, however they do have talent. They need Kadri to play like how he did during the first part of the season and GET MORE SHOTS to defeat a team Boston.

Lets be honest here.... Does the game play really change since it's the playoffs? You still need to play like a team and play to win. So, playoff experience or not, if you have the goal in sight, and you're willing to push for it, then you just might have a shot. I know Toronto hasn't been here in FOREVER, but they've really pulled it together this year.
Time will tell. As far as I'm concerned, after last year's playoff season, all bets are off!

Leafs are fucked. Boston will slaughter in 4.

It's all mental. Granted, that is a big part of the game, but if the Leafs can get past that, I believe we might have a good set on our hands.

Leafs are fucked. Boston will slaughter in 4.

Ottawa is the only team that gets booo'd on home ice! YOU HAVE NO HOME!!!

That only happens when the leafs are in town because sens fans are too smart to pay the quadrupled ticket prices.

Leafs in 6 .

And OTT and MTL, I don't know who I would want to win aha. Prob MTL.

When I lived in Ottawa, and attended the games, it was really annoying when Toronto or Montreal came into town.

Remember that these teams have had a century to create rabid fans. Montreal perhaps more so with all their teams (AAA's, Maroons etc). The Leafs inherited the Saint Patrick's fans.

Ottawa, on the other hand...I doubt any fans are left from the days when they folded. It's rebuilding that fan base, which at times was very blaise about the franchise.

So yeah...it makes sense that there are more Toronto and Montreal fans when they come to visit. But then again...after Bill 101, are there more Montreal fans in Toronto? LOL

I'm securely strapped to the bandwagon and I'm shocked that nobody has compared the game 1s yet

It was Toronto's first playoff game in HD, they needed to get used to the new visuals. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I was watching the Sens VS. Habs last night and well, I can't find it in me to watch the leafs play boston, I prefer to watch ACTUAL HOCKEY.

Anyway...that hit on Lars Ellar was clean. The ref's should not have gave Gryba a 5 minute major and game ejection. It cost us a goal for what? a clean hit from a suicide pass?

The league is still reviewing it and will know today whether or not Gryba serves a game suspension.

I've got my broom out for a series sweep

Expect more of this

It's funny that Montreal is the first to complain about hits or calls when they have PK jumping all over the ice trying to hurt guys or having their guys run/bump/high stick the opposition goalies.

I'm glad they got a call for diving as it shows what i have seen many times this year. They are small and i'm sure this would not have happened had PK not jumped at Neal and another guy and missed.

It's very silly that basically every hockey analyst has said it was a good clean hit and not suspend-able yet most of the Montreal fans are crying for a suspension.



I also watched the last 2 periods of the Leafs-Boston game and they need to learn how to properly change. Dumping the puck to the blue line or turning it over there is the worst thing you can do. I think they will come out much better tonight but i'm not sure if they can beat them in the series.

The Leafs had a horrid first game. They needed to get the butterflies out. Expect a closer score as the games progress.

Key to Ottawa's win was Mister Anderson. Stopping 48 shots was crucial. Ottawa better wise up...he can't keep them in the game for long. Or can he?
