Plekanec was the most effective centremen for the Leafs last playoffs at shutting down the Bergeron line.

So in summary, it seems like (at least looking at the stats instead of watching the games, otherwise known as Tannering) there was only one really brutal game in Boston, refereeing-wise.

I think Boston takes it in game 7 again ...
- zazzle

Leafs in 5

Leafs go up 3-0. Boston wins one.

Matthews scores 5 goals.

Andersen and Hutch both go down in game 1 and sparks goes beast mode.

Okay that last one was a lie

The fans didn’t boot him, he was traded for assets. I don’t remember anyone hating Phil while he was a Leaf. He was really good here.
- Arctic_AARDVARK


I know a bunch of people in real life that hated on Kessel. But I also don't respect their hockey opinions very much in general.

I remember a lot of people calling him too soft and couldn’t win a cup with him.

Kinda like Willie

I think this is the year we beat em.

And convincingly.

As long as Friddie plays like Friddie.

I think we see Halak in game 3. I think Rask will struggle against the Leafs offence.

Halak scares me more than Rask 100%.

I get why Boston is starting him...but he should have a thin leash.

Andersen vs Rask is a clear win for the Leafs.

Halak just scares me because of that (frank)ing run he had. And he played good against the Leafs this year. Not that that matters.

Member when people were calling for Price to be traded because Halak killed it in the playoffs?

Ohh don't worry, I've had to remind ALOT of people about how they would have kept Halak over Price back then.

As someone who always believed in Price... it was very, very sweet to do.

91,6 career save percentage in the playoffs for Jaroslav!

He's had some pretty good runs and some average ones as well.

It’s not on the same level, but it reminds me of what fans are doing to Nylander right now.

Last season there were a bunch of people who legitimately believed Nylander could be better than Marner. It’s (frank)ing nuts what a bad 20-30 games can do to a fans opionion on an elite talent.

Then you and I know a different Leafs Nation my friend...

Anyway. Moving on. Lets do top 3 hated active players in the league. Mine:

1. Wilson
2. Marchand
3. Bogosian

- markmark


1- Gallagher (most punchable face in existence and his douchey actions of always running goalies fits his stupid face perfectly)

2- Marchand (don't care how good he is a the hockeying part, he's a goof)

3- Roussel ((frank)ing clown shoes)
