swap franchises with Arizona #BringPhilBack

I don't hear much from Jets fans, just the players and coaches. Classic small-market syndrome.

Well, except for that whole “Laine’s better” episode.

 

[JackBurton]

With that talent it's rather embarrassing Winnipeg missed the playoffs in the West. No criticism for them though.

[Wayward DP]

so they slept on Calgary, underrated the Leafs, and overrated everyone else. sounds about right.

 

[Volcanologist]

they don't get bombarded with complaints for overrating the other teams.

So 3 Conference finalists from last year didn't make the playoffs this year.

Massive asterisks on the last 2 covid years for all eternity. they don't count.

I always find it funny people are obsessed with past playoff rounds won with 3 of 4 from last year out this year.

Which means TB should be pushovers. Two time defending champs, two time defending shmamps.

 

[Wayward DP]

Haha.

hey, the Leafs FI board was nearly unanimous and really fucking accurate appraising this year's version of the Habs. we deserve some back patting for that one.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

You’re talking to the guy who called dead last for them. I rub this in Frenemy’s face daily since he thought they were going to be awesome.

"Replacing the significant loss of Hyman from the top line will have to be done by committee".

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Bunting’s nickname in high school was Committee.

 

[JackBurton]

You would think Hyman was an 80 point forward from that sentence.

not so good at appraising this year's version of the Leafs tho.

 

[Artnes]

Thats "career year" Zach Hyman

Spector didnt take into account he is slightly below his pace of last year when making note of this

 

[zeke]

I think we should make special note of that fact, if we haven't already, that Montreal just finished lower in the standings than any other team in the history of the National Hockey League.
