The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

We give these idiots too much credit. They see 4 players making 40 million, and think that means no depth. Because these execs are on teams giving 4th liners 3 million per.
 
Everything is on the line this year.

If we win a round, which it's about time we did!, then everyone will be eating shit.

If we lose, we're going to be at each other's throats over why and how, and the world will rejoice.
 
I was confidant Dubas was done if we lost in the 1st round. I am certainly not sure of that anymore. Organization is in great overall shape and a record season in such a tough conference.
 
Robertson will make us forget Knies if he steps up.

I feel like he's the key to that second line. He's a more skilled Kerfoot, so with that speed, he can really create some room and opportunities for Tavares and Willy. Need that on the line.
 
I think making it past the back to back champs is a tall task and so I don't even disagree with the ultimate conclusions there about likelihood of playoff success. Calgary no doubt has a way easier path.

But I'd love to know which GM said essentially "weaknesses? lol everything"
 
The leafs have added two guys who play in their top 4 since the season started and only subtracted their #7. How is defensive depth an issue here? Does every team have 10 top 6 guys?
 
it's just not fair that people say mean things about us just because we haven't won a playoff round since the invention of Gmail
 
Flames look to be a much better playoff-type squad than either the Leafs

Curious as to why that is....

Their best player is a midget with 19 points in 30 career playoff games. Their centre depth, which I've been told is very important in the playoffs is Lindholm-Backlund-Jarnkrok. Which is basically like having a Tavares-Kampf-Kampf top 3.

and their blueline is this:

Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Tanev
Zadorov-Gudbranson

Which is kind of shit, but will throw some cross checks, I guess.

Shit, we can continue...

- Matt Tkachuk has 5 points in 15 playoff games
- Elias Lindholm has 8 points in 15 playoff games
- Eat Bread has 6 in 15

I'm not trying to convince anyone that the Leafs deserve to be believed in, but what the fuck has Calgary done to deserve any playoff hype at all, over anyone?
