You're an idiot Jhonny.

Why wouldn't we move Nylander to the Flyers as well? You can't just move two guys and think you'll fix the problems of the Leafs. You need to move at least 3 guys!

Hmmm you bring up a god point...

You would make a better GM than Dave Nonis

I am Dave Nonis ascended

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Even if we don't make it, it's been a much better season than I could have hoped for. Even if we did make it, we'd just get clapped by Washington in the first round so...

It's been a while since I wore the Price jersey anyways, my boss threatened to fire me last time I wore it :'(

MJ is just that cousin of Nonis that's on TSN. the truth is out!!!

 

[OriginofHysteria]

So I'm hearing Pens called up their AHL goalie. Good news I guess, we don't get Murray. Bad news, we get Fleury.

This is the Leafs. The bad news would be the AHL goalie starting.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

The bad news is we face the Pens period

 

[DopeyFish]

the bad news is i don't have enough beer in my fridge for this game... nor does my local lcbo

I see Sens Twitter is doing the "retweet the doubters" thing today

The Sens still aren't good
Don't be 2013 Leafs fans

Our bottom ten possession team got elite goaltending all year and made our bad defensive system look salvageable. Suck it haters! #TheSystem

Being happy is fine Harassing everyone who made an educated and reasonable guess because the team lucked out isn't

Me watching the Leafs tonight.

That was pretty close to me when i still smoked cigarettes. :lol

 

[yyzjohn]

No, joking.

I said before - missing out would be a crushing disappointment, but it doesn't make this an unsuccessful year.

I was gonna say, this would have been overreaction of the decade lol

 

[astroturfing]

The bad news is we face the Pens period

yeah lol, do people think the Leafs have a chance? i think it will be over in the first 10 minutes.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

This is true. A healthy Leafs team could not beat the Syracuse Crunch.

 

[Cake Boss]

Lmao Condon is elite goaltending now

 

[DopeyFish]

crosby is playing

rip

@mirtle: Phil Kessel declines to speak with Toronto media.

Hahahahahahaha

Why couldn't we play the Rangers tonight.

 

[MetatronM]

Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Grabner-Hayes-Miller
Vesey-Pirri-Beck
Glass-Lindberg-Puempel

Smith-Girardi
Skjei-Klein
Clendening-Kampfer

Lundqvist


Took until the second to last day of the season, but the KZB line has FINALLY been reunited. Taylor Beck makes his NYR debut because why not.

This is, by the way, Mika Zibanejad's first appearance in Ottawa as a New York Ranger.

 

[Cake Boss]

Puempel gonna score a hattrick.

Crosby's playing tonight.

 

[Socreges]

He looks the worst he ever has out there. Julien seems like he finally dealt the fatal blow to his confidence with this 3rd line LW demotion. He's been there like 7-10 games now and has been so bad.

Still think they need to put him back at center, even if it's on this same lone. Like flip him and Shaw.

What? But I thou-

Spoiler

I have him in both my hockey pools but he's been a massive fucking dud for weeks. He's lived on the bench for the last bit, at least

 

[MetatronM]

A thrilling contest. Shots 4-4 after one period.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Crosby's playing tonight.

[Montresor]

the pens called up a C

crosby might be getting rested

also a goalie so we might be getting fleury or an AHL guy (who has pretty incredible numbers this year)

I hope Tampa Bay feels our pain then. Fuck them.

Watch as Leafs steamroll Pens in a game where they rest most of their stars and don't give a fuck.

 

[Silexx]

Hoffbae!!!

 

[MetatronM]

Seems like the Sens have remembered that this game is actually important for them.

 

[Red_Man]

The Leafs blowing this would be the most Leafs thing ever

 

[Red_Man]

.

 

[Silexx]

Brassballs!

 

[MetatronM]

Brassard from Stalberg. Naturally.

 

[Cake Boss]

Holy fuck I can't remember the last time Brassballs scored a goal

Leafs fans, how will you celebrate after the Leafs win tonight?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

The Leafs blowing this would be the most Leafs thing ever

Would it be even Leafier than blowing a 4-1 lead with 10 minutes left in the 3rd at game 7?

Leafs fans, how will you celebrate after the Leafs win tonight?

Pinching themselves for they must be dreaming.

 

[Red_Man]

Would it be even Leafier than blowing a 4-1 lead with 10 minutes left in the 3rd at game 7?

Tough call, it's at least on par with blowing a 99% chance to make the playoffs while only needing 1 point.

 

[Kave_Man]

The Leafs blowing this would be the most Leafs thing ever

How so?

Please explain.

 

[Red_Man]

How so?

Please explain.

 

[Foggy]

BJs may never win again

 

[jstripes]

Leafs fans, how will you celebrate after the Leafs win tonight?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

 

[MetatronM]

So Nash, Zucc, Mac, and Fast have all been out for the last two games, and in that time the Rangers have thus far scored 0 goals.

Clearly we're just building meter for the playoffs.

 

[MetatronM]

Tanner Glass with so much grit and intangibles he's taking out referees.

 

[Silexx]

Stone-Pageau-Hoffman need to stay as a line for the playoffs. MacArthur back with Turris have also looked real good.

 

[MetatronM]

I don't see anything that suggests the puck went in there. Seems like an easy call unless there's an angle we don't have on TV.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Bryan Bickell will retire from Hockey due to MS after playing the last two games of the regular season with Carolina. MS sucks

 

[Coldnoodle]

Bruins, Lightning, Islanders or Leafs now.

Can't face the Senators.

 

[MetatronM]

Zbad finally gives the B-Squad a goal!

 

[Silexx]

I guess if anyone had to break the shutout bud, it should be Zibenajad.

Also: Home ice advantage, baby!

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Bruins, Lightning, Islanders or Leafs now.

Can't face the Senators.

Eh. Not like a Caps-Sens series would be all that exciting to begin with.

 

[MetatronM]

Turns out it's not easy to beat a playoff team fighting for home ice while playing a preseason lineup. Go figure.
