Erik Kallgren, the legend, is eating salad and also Jake Gardiner for some reason and I am very confused.

It's a Garden(er) salad, I guess.

Simmonds is a player who can play an entire game, and I forget that he was actually playing.

As the twelfth best skater the Leafs are dressing on any given night, that's fine.

Anderson is not very good, but I guess he's a better option if Kase's brains are in fact too hot to play effectively. I imagine that putting Kerfoot on the third line is for general depth so long as they're rolling lines, and if things get tight late he'll replace Anderson on the second line.

e: I don't like Holl but Liljegren got absolutely cooked last game so I can understand the change.

I feel like there's some room for additional optimism out of that win in that the Leafs weren't very crisp but they also carried the game quite well. I think I saw that the Matthews line had an awful night at evens, whereas the rest of them were quite good.

Despite years of saying "small sample size" when it comes to judging a player's playoff performance, and also laughing at people who used to label Datsyuk a "playoff choker", I succumbed to criticizing Marner harshly last year. He's looked fantastic so far this series.

Do I take back what I said? No. Why? Because who cares?

This shows the level that Marner is capable of playing at, further affirming his chokerness.

Honestly I think Toronto is the better team. Tampa has played too much, and been gutted by the cap. Thank god for the dynasty stamp that Aphrodite approved. I can die now. The best poster. For the best team. Godobye

Any other team I'd say that they've been great over the last 5+ periods with a few isolated hiccups in between, appear to have their systems working, and therefore should be in great shape for game 7 at home. But it's the Leafs.


Nah that was butt stuff totally different.

Posting doom and gloom about a successful franchise is Kawalimus' gimmick in the football forum as well.

Hockey is a game defined by losing and, between being repeatedly owned by the Crosby Penguins and that hilarious loss to the Habs, the Caps certainly have some very defining loser energy. It's easy to understand them as losers in the same way it's easy to understand those MacInnis-Pronger Blues teams as losers.

Like, at no point is anyone saying the Caps were bad. Some of those teams were really incredibly good, but that's part of what makes the loserness so felt.

Walt was fat his last couple of years when he was playing, hell I remember this image making the rounds:

From 2004 to, like, 2007 the CBC had an editorial cartoon on its hockey page, and I remember one of them with the title "Keith Tkachuk's ribs still tender" and then the picture was him digging into a bucket of ribs and saying "and tangy."

5. No one remembers that Erik Johnson was a 1st overall pick, so Avs have 2 1st overalls as well.

I guess they are tracking players the teams drafted themselves, not injury-cases the teams traded for in trades where the team got by far the worst end of it.

Tampa has enjoyed a week off to recuperate vs.a rangers team that has played 14 games already this post season.

When was the last time someone won the cup playing all possible games?

Going purely by memory, one team has made it going 7-7-7-6, but nobody has won playing the max

e: the 2014 Kings won playing 7-7-7-5, and the 2019 Blues went 6-7-6-7.

I was just thinking how similar this team was to the Mogilny Devils, where they had no shortage of offensive talent and could score at will, but still played hyper-defensive choke-the-life-out-of-the-game hockey.

Did that roster have the most hall of famers on one team that didn't win the cup? Because I would be kind of surprised if the answer was no

Without even bothering to check I'll say the 04 Leafs had more.

Colorado is a much better north-south team than Toronto or Florida. (This is, incidentally, why Tyson Barrie turned into a pumpkin after the trade.) A couple rounds ago I saw someone comment that Colorado's speed could put pressure on Tampa's increasingly-slow defencemen in ways that Toronto and Florida couldn't.
