It's been a long four years, the return of the magic number thread

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

We got a point vs them

Which is all we need tonight.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I say we take the opening faceoff, take it behind the net, and stand there for 2 minutes each period. Go West Germany v Austria in the 1982 WC.

Don't ruin this by mentioning soccer.

Next time say we should play like Tampa Bay did when Scarface was coaching them.

Which is all we need tonight.

We are 2-17-1 in our last 20 vs the Whalers so due. Also due to lose in reg at home.

Aka we're fucked, unless we aren't

Failing is what frauds do in the end. Every time.

Using that logic, the Oilers were frauds last year...

Leafs fans would agree. They nervously laughed as the Oilers went all the way to Game 7. You could tell they were preparing themselves to have their existence crushed. They were relieved to be able to dismiss them as frauds.

In truth, the only real fraud was Skinner. He cost them a championship all by himself.

With the Leafs, their entire core 4 are frauds.

It's one measly point. We don't even need to win, just survive for 60 minutes. Break even. They don't need to succeed, just not fuck it up. One goddamn point. One.

Fyi 97 hasn't won at the NHL level either...

He won the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP. You can't win that when you're always getting eliminated in the first round.

Indivudual trophies trump team wins now? Good to know

I have to ask, are circular argument engagements your fetish or something? You sure do like to argue them with him. You must be a lawyer.

No, they trump individual trophies given out for playoff success not won by other players on less successful playoff teams.

He is a lawyer and, near as I can tell, a major investor in the strawman industry.

Oh you're one to talk on that one.

Done

 

[Krustchev]

No way we make it if Guhle didn’t come back when he did, and not because of his two goals tonight.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Guhle and Slaf basically won this game, no?

UPDATE:

The magic number is 0.

There is a lot of no way we make it if… to go around

The D was atrocious before Guhle’s return.

I agree.
