Leafs stole him from the Habs

 

[LeafGm]

Still cold-blooded that the Habs gave him the boot after 14 years & 10 as team captain almost entirely because they didn't want a Finn with no Cups to pass Beliveau as the longest-serving Habs captain of all time.

 

[CH1]

Montreal fans gave Saku a massive standing ovation when he returned to the Bell Centre as a Duck. There was a special pre-game ceremony plus he was awarded a 3rd star just to give the fans one more chance to cheer

5th liner.

 

[Artnes]

Tampa out to a 1-3 start. Suspect they will get the same media treatment as the Leafs tomorrow

 

[Artnes]

He ded

 

[Artnes]

That Miller extension off to a rocky start

 

[Hoss]

Tampa out to a 1-3 start. Suspect they will get the same media treatment as the Leafs tomorrow

Kind of different due to the fact that they have 2 cups and a third cup final as well. Benefit of the doubt for sure

 

[Artnes]

Poor start is a poor start. Call them out like everyone else

You forgot the asterisks after "2 cups"

*cough*

I would post another iconic Hab player of the last 25 years, but I couldn't find a current Max Domi picture.

Still love Roy winning with the Avs.

 

[CH1]

Still love Roy winning with the Avs.

yeah....he made sure to give us a couple of Cups first...

lol no

Being big dick cup champs grants you a lot of leeway. I get that the media loves taking shots at them, but the Leafs have to earn some of the respect too. Gotta give them a reason to shut the fuck up.

But anyway, it's a team like the Jets that get their cocks slobbered nonstop for no good reason. Tampa has earned it at least.

Win just one fucking Stanley Cup, let alone win two in addition to multiple other deep playoff runs, and I’ll give these guys all the leeway and benefit of the doubt in the world for the rest of their careers.

Winning the XGF% Cup and/or “Deserve-to-win-o-meter” in several first round exits on the other hand…not so much benefit of the doubt.

The bad start is funny cuz it's both really bad and really fine.

They lost to two literal tank teams and not by bad luck, but because they literally didn't deserve to win.

The other two games weren't great performances but were solid wins over decent teams.

So what do we take from the two stinkers against tank teams? The criticisms probably come down to character stuff and not really quality of team stuff.
