1st Rnd '25 Playoffs: The Battle of Ontario V - More of the Same - LFG!

Last 10gms xgf% and avg p/p1/60

Matthews 59.1%, 3.00
Marner 57.4%, 3.02
Knies 59.2%, 1.92

Tavares 45.8%, 1.30
Nylander 44.6%, 1.31
Domi 27.5%, 1.89

Holmberg 63.3%, 1.74
McMann 53.1%, 0.23
Robertson 59.6%, 2.46

Laughton 42.5%, 0.73
Jarnkrok 46.8%, 0.97
Lorentz 49.4%, 1.75

Kampf 33.4%, 2.52



Just as Domi started scoring again he became a disaster possession wise. I'm a believer in playoffs Domi but if he doesn't pick it up i wouldn't be surprised to see him as the first one out for patches.

Laughton and Krok started showing stuff the past few games but otherwise it's questionable how much they've earned their spots.

The key here is that holmberg/robby/mcmann have been crushing it down the stretch and have absolutely earned their spots. This might finally be their time.
 
Good day ladies and gents on FI.

Just posting in on what should be a great day and long weekend with it being playoffs and it's my birthday today. 51.

I will post my memories of being at the original battle of Ontario series, but this weekend has been completely ruined by my amazing male brown tabby cat Henry....full name Henry Stinkler. Got out at night by the front door being left open from some of my sons friends over for a poker night.

He got out at 12:30 am and he hasn't come home yet. 😢

My son slept in the garage on an air mattress with litter and food and "dust and hair from the vacuum cleaner strewn about the lawn. Only to be met with lightening rain and thunder....so who knows if he'll come out soon if he's scared and never been an outdoor cat.

Remember when I was going to be in NYC for this weekend and pulled the shoot. Well, my sister in law had booked three nights at the Royal York gold floor...with tickets to second city on Friday night and reservations for harbour 60 on Saturday...tonight....my birthday.

I also had first dibs on game 1 and 2 tickets but I turned down becuae I was at two game ones in the first battle of Ontario years and they lost both.
I also though was at the game six overtime winner by stumpy to force game 7. I lost my voice that night.

But instead I've been getting all of my steps in and heart rate up stressing about my lost cat who is fucking amazing little guy. Just want him back.

Happy birthday man. Wouldn't mind turning 51 again myself.
 
Here's how our playoffs combo did together in the regular season:


1745093767534.png​

unfortunately the sample sizes on those lines is too small to mean a whole lot but they're all we have.....

- I actually didn't realize how well that Lorentz-Laughton-Jarnkrok was playing together. And that's in tough usage too. I guess Broobee is right that they earned their spots.

- I knew that new 3rd line scoring line had been playing well but i didn't realize they were dominating like that. Pretty great.

- the new 2nd line has shocking nerdies in their short time together but hilariously have scored a ton and given up 0.

- friggin hilarious how Mo only plays right when paired with a no-skill beast. Thankfully this year we have the best version of that no-skill beast that we've ever had to partner with before.

- the bottom pairing not great but.....not awful. Which is a first for benoit this year. Every other Benoit pairing has been godawful other than his odd shifts with Mo (51.1xgf%).


- even more friggin hilarious that Berube seems to be much more inclined to use risky offensive lines than Keefe ever was. Risky offense in, Krok on a pure checking line instead of in the top-6, and Kampf out of the lineup completely. amazing.

One time my dog decided to let himself out of the front yard for a walk in my busy Toronto neighbourhood, after a couple of days of my not being able to walk him after getting concussed.

Was definitely one of the most gut-wrenching and nerve-wracking experiences of my life, and being reunited with him is one of my best memories. Sincerely hope you two also have a joyful reunion ASAP.

Nothing a cortisone shot, 18 Sudafed’s and a small key bump can’t fix.

sensfans should hope so, as their primary argument to the sens winning this series seems to be that the Leafs just can't handle superman Brady Tkachuk and his incredible physicality. guess we'll find out.
 
I like how they were the choking t2000 then we became the choking t2000 and maybe now they can be the choking t2000 again.
