I know they hated the moves and signings in the offseason. They praise when winning and trash when losing. Reaves has his place in the NHL playoffs, but maybe a bit too big a role too early. The 2nd and later rounds need varieties that you can put out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta wonder. Stamkos to Detroit. lol One could only hope, I would love to see a Stamkos in Detroit, one of my fave teams in the east, I loathe both Florida teams. Detroit could make some moves this summer that could count. Toronto is hanging by a thread, I think Boston is going deep to the Eastern final, this could be their year, I would love this team without Marchand but he is one of the keys to success. (P.S. anyone in the east now but the Rangers for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_People1 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 That dump in though. Talk about home ice advantage and knowing the bounces off the boards. Incredible. Perfectly placed. Perfectly retrieved. Perfect deke. Samsonov didn't expect that bounce. Reilly underplayed it, also not expecting that bounce. Series over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketdoctor Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Leafs nation will no doubt turn on the team but the series was very close and could have gone either way. As fans we tend to lose sight that the other team want to win as well and blame our own team for the loss. It was a very defensive series and all the goalies were very good. Really enjoyed eatching that series was intense hockey ervery game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable, perfect play, fitting end for a poorly-constructed. over-hyped team that still lacks an effective defense. Same with the Oilers, hope they are next... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 So are we hoping for VGK's to win tonight so the 2024 3rd round pick transfers to a 2025 2nd or a Dallas win so they go the the SC and we receive their 2024 3rd rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed eatching that series was intense hockey ervery game. That was an incredibly positive outlook, and god bless you for it, I wish I were a gentleman sometimes. But, I also know you're going to enjoy the 2nd, 3rd round, and Stanley Cup finals, and I am just Soooo, sooo glad that we are now closer to being in them because we don't have a GM hell-bent on making incredibly idiotic short-term team-destroying decisions time and time again. Treliving did to the leafs what he did to us in Record time thanks to even more faith and spending from ownership. People are already talking rebuild, but I suspect he will try to keep it afloat for one or two more seasons with even More short-term decisions before finally hitting a brick wall and...Yes...applying for jobs with other teams. So here's my positivity: Conroy has not yet done anything to harm the organisation, every move he's made has been in the long-term interest of the franchise, and because of that I can easily say we are years ahead of the leafs in terms of the next legit chance of winning a cup. I fully expect to see it here, before there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We def want Van to beat Ed so the NJ 4th upgrades to Van's 3rd this year. Vegas' 2nd would be a better pick. Dallas pick would be a 2026 3rd. We currently have our and Van's 2026 3rd.

Against my better judgement I will cheer for the VGK's tonight as ONLY to better upgrade the Flames picks. Yeah, sucks that Vegas didn't take 3rd in the Pacific and face Ed first. I'd rather Vegas' 2nd next year. This year's extra 3rd can be replaced from Vegas' if Van takes out the Oilers to reach the WCF. I honestly have zero skin in the game these playoffs. Great hockey to watch, of course. Have a party, eat and drink, friends get mad on each other with their teams. It's fine. lol Big day today, U18 final, London @ Saginaw game 6, CAR-NYR, Grand Rapids can take out Rockford, Wranglers host Coachella for game 2, LV-DAL game 7. 3 tvs. The drop-in center's open again. Boston Pizza would be envious. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Marner. Leafs nation will turn on Marner and it's pretty much over for him as a Leafs. Core Four shouldn't be anymore. Marner needs to go. Tavares evidently slowing down. Should either retire at the end of his contract next season or return at 50% paycut and stripped of captaincy. Play Nylander as 2nd line Center and Tavares as 3rd line checking Center moving forward.

The VAN pick is at best a 50/50 shot right now; EDM hasn't really faced a true tough team. LA can be tough to play, but never really showed it this playoffs.

Mind you the counter point is the "core" are not really the ones who brought them back so that's a challenge but the Leafs got back in that series by playing some more old school "playoff" hockey. Control the neutral zone, slow a team down, box them out, get good goaltending and count punch. LImitied offensive success but the fact they could change their change and make it a series I do think is a positive they can take moving forward but that team needs alot of work. not in the best of situations IMO. I wish I could take the Canes to win finally but Rangers look too good right now and I think at some point Shesterkin>Andersson is going to matter. Should be an entertaining series though. Boston looks like they are going on fumes right now so I will take Florida in that series as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
