GDT: Leafs @ Vancouver 7:00pm EST - Fuck the Canucks

Still, that said, as down as I am on this team and as sure as I am about the outcome, I’ll be watching round one again this year.

Though if they go up 3-1 in the series and then lose two straight again, I sure as fuck will be skipping game seven this time around.
 
I can't imagine telling Past Me, who watched waffles and jerseys being thrown on the ice and would've sold my soul to have a team that was consistently competitive, that I just wasn't gonna watch the Leafs in the playoffs. Am I prepared for them to disappoint me again? Sure.

But why the fuck watch the Leafs vs Canucks on a Saturday night in early March and not watch Game 1 vs Tampa?
 
I mostly feel betrayed and it hurts like hell and it feels like I got cheated on. I was promised a young fresh data driven gm but instead I got Brian Burke with glasses. It hurts. And I'll need time to recover. But I still think they can win and will be watching very excitedly. This is still the best leafs team I've ever seen in spite of all the absolute stupidity from management.
 
The other bit that no one will tell you: Tampa is potentially significantly worse than they were last year.

the next guy will be more of a retread, or at least more of a known quantity in the game. you won't be getting young fresh and experimental after a decade of failure under Shanahan.
 
I didn’t get to watch after the first period, did Matthews return after taking the puck to the knee?
