After the heartbreaking loss the sun came up today solidifying that it is only a hockey game, nothing more than entertainment, it's not the end of the world. So many more important things to worry and think about in life.

Cheer up boys and enjoy the summer to come.

They are in their prime, or entering their prime.

right, so they're not young? Not sure what you are arguing here....they are a young team. To say otherwise is just looking for an argument.

All I'm saying is it's pretty lame to use the Age average of a team as an excuse.
And it's been like that for the last 3 seasons.

I think he means they`re not as young as the Senators line up of AHL rookies from Binghampton that humiliated him in the 1st round

Except I wasnt...I was merely pointing out that the team is young and have gained much experience as a result of this loss. Most players had zero playoff experience and have gained a ton and should now be hungry because of it.

See, the Sens average age is higher because Alfredsson is 120 years old!


(frank) Ottawa. And Boston!

Yeah, I realized that last night. Grabovski at 29 never played a playoff game before this season. Crazy.

Great series, you are no longer the laffs and deserve the respect that you got.
We were lucky to survive with the way we played.

Go Pens and Hawks or Wings.

Meh, can't be understated the need for a good shutdown dman, coach made some bad decisions with whom he had out but now should have a good idea who they have and who will go, I hope.

On a side note. How did the crowd react once they left the Square? Did they actually do Toronto proud and not cause a ruckus?

Good question....anyone comment?

A few drunks tugging on horses tails from mounted police units, not much more than that.

What can you do? Second guess all decisions, lol

i agree with this line of thinking. best way to gauge how young a team is is by how many players under 25 they have on the roster. the Leafs rather young average age tends to stem from them not having many older veterans, guys in their mid to late 30s, as opposed to having a lot of young players in the lineup. i do think one or two grizzled vets would have gone a long way to locking that game down last night.

I can't even go on TSN or any other news channel. I remember why I secretly hated this time of year.

(frank) Boston.
- Feeling Glucky?

agree.

They stopped skating, went in to a defensive shell and panicked. They stopped doing all the things that got them the 4-1 lead in the first place.

This one is on Carlyle, for not keeping the team focused and for having Phaneuf out there when he was clearly almost unable to even move anymore.
- Aetherial

I was furious after Boston's 3rd goal when Carlyle left the same 5 guys out there for the next faceoff, and whaddaya know, they scored again but 30 seconds later. No timeout to calm the boys down, nothing. I really don't want to hear any excuses of injuries from the team. Boston didn't play two of their more experienced defensemen due to injuries, but for some reason we had a pair of limp, "injured" defensemen (one being our captain) shuffling around the ice for the last 5 minutes while Boston skating circles around us. Dion has to either man up and play like he has a pair, or get off the ice if your injured.
