For Borje - The Toronto Maple Leafs 2023 Stanley Cup Champions Thread

[LeafGm]

Shit is seriously coming up Millhouse for us so far, isn't it? The only two teams worth fearing in a playoff series are out. We're now in here with a bunch of perennial choke jobs and kids.

This is us right now to the rest of the EC playoff bracket

Now, I repeat my playoff mantra before I get ahead of myself. The Leafs have proven that they can lose to absolutely anyone, anytime, anywhere. But if their balls just did drop...well fuck.

Yeah, there’s no one left that the Leafs aren’t better than on paper, and that they shouldn’t be capable of beating if both teams play their best games.

Now it’s on them to just avoid doing the Leafy thing and beat themselves.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Tkachuk is gonna be a motherfucker to play against. More dangerous than any TB player.

 

[leafman101]

Florida is good. It’s not a gimme. But their goalies and d suck so it’s way better than Boston.

 

[leafman101]

Tkachuk is gonna be a motherfucker to play against. More dangerous than any TB player.

Tampa had a Stamkos-Point-Kucherov line.

 

[LeafGm]

We should be able to neutralize Tkachuk. Just dress Muzzin for game one and have him flip a puck in the guy’s direction.

 

[Neurospasm]

Let’s get way ahead of ourselves here. It’s going to be oil vs leafs final.

 

[Preston]

Let’s get way ahead of ourselves here. It’s going to be oil vs leafs final.

Agree

I just can’t see it. Their PP is too deadly

 

[Preston]

Leafs are now the favorites to win the cup at around 20% implies odds. Oilers not far behind. No one else really close.

[LeafOfFaith]

Tampa had a Stamkos-Point-Kucherov line.

I didn’t say anything about lines. He’s better than each of those guys. But they’ve got other guys too. Verhaeghe is obviously a game breaker now.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Agree

Would actually be the craziest most entertaining finals for the league in decades.

And they probably would hate for it to happen.

 

[Preston]

Hey is WP just banned now because he told a joke?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

What joke? Habsy said he didn’t ban him.

 

[Preston]

What joke? Habsy said he didn’t ban him.

Any time your strategy depends on which way the whistle goes, you're in trouble

 

[MindzEye]

He needs to unban that man.
