I think the Leafs lose in 5, would be pleased if it went to 6 and really just don't want them to get embarrassed if nothing else. I'm not very confident they won't but playoffs are weird so who knows. Go Leafs, Sharks, Caps (after they beat the Leafs), Preds and Oilers. Boo Habs just for the hell of it.

Paul Romanuk ugggggggggghhhhhh gently caress you SN.

So happy the Toronto series dodged this.

Yet I would 100% prefer to listen to Bob Cole over Romanuk or Randorf

Yea Bob Cole is easier to withstand than Romanuk, easily. They both forget/mistake names and are behind the play by a decent amount but at least Cole's voice isn't grating and I don't think he repeats the same talking points every 10 minutes like Romanuk does.

Its almost like Rogers is bad at the whole hockey thing.

Their broadcasters/panels are pretty bad but I like that they show all sorts of teams on one or a bunch of their number of different channels on any given night. I guess that's the bare minimum though.

That seems to be the book on Andersen. He makes some amazing saves and then has a brain fart. There were a many a days I wanted to believe in him but he makes it so hard sometimes. I thought the Leafs had a really solid game, much better than I anticipated. First half of the third and OT wasn't so great though. Caps woke up I guess.

Wild game with poo poo refs but OTs were fun. Matthews had a rough game in the offensive zone but Gardiner, Rielly and Andersen were great. Bozak even had a really good game. And Kapanen with 2 goals!

Leafs/Caps was suuuuuper close last night and I felt like the caps were the more dangerous team when they had possession

Yea it's a little concerning how many open looks they had in the slot. I didn't even really realize until they compiled them all into a clip package and they were numerous. Andersen was great. Caps are not playing bad and will probably still win the series. Closer than I initially thought though.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating, Andersen will have games where he's playing amazing and humming along and then he has an insanely weird brain fart and let's in a bizarre-type bad goal and it's really weird. He'd be a great goalie if he could somehow fix that in his game. Clearly a mental lapse thing. Game one he was really solid other than those two big mistakes.

Leafs are fun and cool. I like the Leafs.

I wonder what the record is for most OTs in a single playoff series. Or if any went OT for all 7 games or for all the games of whatever many games a series went.

Just remember they're mostly rookies and will (probably) not come close to winning the Stanley Cup this year but still, enjoy the games! :)

No big deal trading a stud player for character fit, just look at Phillip Kessel. Toronto feels good for him!

Also Boston, Boston feels good for him too.

Kapanen is working out pretty well for the Leafs!

But I do miss me some Kessel.

Also, there were 2 games with 2-goal deficits come back from and 2 games with 3-goal deficits come back from. NO LEAD IS SAFE.

I wanted another OT but sloppy Brown/Carrick giving way to a Soft Goal on Andersen robbed us of that. Thought it was going to be a blow out with the way that game started though, so at least it turned out somewhat interesting for a little while.

LAS is going to be a juggernaut of shitposting in a few years too. It was civil through Game 4. Not sure what happened?


I was civil :colbert: Also I found most of the regulars were civil but you had the odd playoff poster or other person just going off the rails. That's what a hit like that does though.

I'm fine with anyone other than the Ducks. I think Pens vs Preds would be the best final because they're both entertaining to watch.
