Fuck yeah, this is almost as good as making the finals ourselves!5 years in a row cup finalist comes out of the leafs' division.
4 of 5 years leafs lose to a cup finalist.
4 of 5 years they lose to a team that sweeps the next round.

Presto luck or other teams are literally showing you what it takes? Sure firstly it's goaltending but dude, I saw almost every Leaf playoff game and twice live. What I saw out of the Panthers last night? Vegas better not come in thinking they got this, that team hustled to a man and Tkachuk was a man possessed.5 years in a row cup finalist comes out of the leafs' division.

Panthers are .334 without Barkov btw.
Bennett has turned into a real prick to play against, I think he would he an excellent add if he's slotted correctly.So we ply dirtbag Bennett from them next season and have hive take out Barkov. He’s managed to mangle at least one impact player in each round so far I believe.
Clutch isn't real. Another reason Dubas should be fired, Marner for Tkachuk was a fair deal.

S U T T E RPretty sure Tkachuk was considered a playoff flop in Calgary till last season, wasn't he?
Also, he did not wish to play in Canada IIRC so your trade was not an option
Clubs kept on hiring Mike Keenan, so everything is possible..Sutter drove Gaudreau and Tkachuk out. I don't see how he gets another gig in this changed NHL but it is the NHL and anything can happen.
Friendly wager they make the playoffs next season?Panthers are on a Cinderella run and won't make the playoffs next year. They will be one of the teams Buffalo and Ottawa bump out. This is such a fluke. Bob has gone through 5 years of below average play. 5 years.
