I’m imagining Milan Lucic tripping Connor McDavid along the boards and then just straight-up sitting on him for 2 full minutes while the Flames complete a line change and score, with the official emphatically gesturing good goal while garbage rains down from the seats

On the one hand I absolutely love Giroux and would love to see my dude win a cup On the other I have a seething hatred for Florida in general, so it's a struggle for me

I live in Toronto and hate the Leafs more now than I ever did when I lived elsewhere BUT. There's been a subtle undercurrent here of "maybe the Raptors are this town's team" over the last few years and it would legitimately be funny to watch this entire city get shut down for three days straight by the release of 50 years of pent up old Portuguese dude energy that'd happen if they ever won a cup again

ThinkTank posted:Wes Walz extinguished the youthful spark of joy this sport once brought me. Yes, but the jokes on Minnesota. Now we have to listen to Walz on the broadcast. Not a spoiler, but he's terrible at it. I know I give Leah Hextall a hard time, but Walz is so much worse and he doesn't even call the game. At least we can agree that Edmonton is the worst. heehee posted:any canadian non-leafs fan that doesn't have the leafs dead last is actually a leafs fan. dumbass rankings with minnesota ? below boston? I'll allow it from a Canucks fan. It makes much sense even if they did lose to Boston in 2011.

Honestly the Leafs consistent failure and the performative hatred from everywhere else in the country has probably worked too well against them, a lot of scorn has turned to almost-pity in the last little while and interest in the team as a legitimate contender is pretty drat low in this town compared to other years*. Like, this team couldn’t buy a save for two months yet they’re still 4th overall and have the league’s top goal scorer, but I don’t think you can find a single person excited for them to go deep. Certainly not me! *From what I can see anyway there’s more hype about the not-very-good-yet Raptors and the promise of a young Jays team that will surely be undone by the dead ball and mediocre pitching.

HookShot posted:This is 100% correct I live in Leafs country and while I still hope they blow another 3-1 series lead, Id still put up with them winning over both Calgary and Edmonton. Alberta should not be allowed to have nice things.  Also gently caress the Bruins and Wild, go Stars and Bolts.

The Leafs are the Demar/Casey era Raps. By any reasonable definition, they are a really, really good team, but unless/until they get over the hump, there’s no reason to care.

Leafs fans intense doom and gloom makes them kinda lovable. Every other Canadian franchise that enjoyed a stretch as one of the top teams in the league developed a massive fanbase of cocky, obnoxious bandwagoners. Not the Leafs they, they seem to have declined in popularity if anything and there's such a sense of inevitably to the Leafs blowing it that I think I'd be genuinely happy for them if they finally got over the hump. I guess 15 years living in Ontario has led to Stockholm syndrome.

I'm just glad that we get to lose to the two time cup Champions and not loving Boston again or even worse, the only team with a longer drought winning a round in the Panthers. I was certain that's where the universe was guiding things after the deeply depressing events of last playoffs.

ImplicitAssembler posted:Yes. Very much so. The hyper focus of the media on Toronto doesn't bother me too much. It can be a bit corny sometimes but they're the biggest hockey market on earth and they're very good at the moment. It was much more annoying when the Leafs were terrible and articles would be headlined "Leafs Lose Draft Lottery."

to be fair, the reason for him being suspended was 99% dropping gay slurs instead of racial slurs, but considering this dude is his dad: https://twitter.com/DrewMacFarlane/status/1267657558350856192?s=20&t=vF1By3eFC7Vs-TQ0mUzGgw i, uh, wouldn't be surprised if he's like the thousands of other New Jersey / Florida hockey guys who sound and act like that

This is what I find funny about the whole discussion on media coverage, I found network articles to be largely generic and aggravating even as a Leafs fan.

It’s not about the actual quality of the article, it’s about the other teams’ fans wanting better page placement when they’re doing really well. It’d be like opening up the the front page of ESPN and seeing more garbage about Chicago instead of the teams on the top of the division winning games. They’re so far out of it, give someone else some time. There’s this fixation on individuals or specific teams that means other impressive headlines get buried for the old teams even when they’re garbage. It’s like a kid taking some new cool game to school and everyone fixates on the other kid that’s been bringing POGS to show and tell since 1993.

Brown was a staple on my EA NHL teams for a long time because he was tuned to steamroll people and he had hands and I suppose that was true in real life too
