Do you guys think the Blues will put the bullet in the Bruins on home ice, or is Boston going to come back tonight like the cornered rabid mutts that they are? I'm thinking about wagering on this bullpoop.

i need the blues to win in 7 so i can win a pool that has no reward for the champion unless you count the shame you get for caring about the meaningless victory

If the Leafs ever made the Stanley Cup Finals the city would literally spontaneously combust.

The aftermath?

It would be exciting for sure.
But outside of Toronto, crickets for the most part.

True. But Marchand can be an honourary American.

Ive never seen so much excitement from all over the country compared to what im seeing now with the raps.
Bigger than rhe jays in the early 90s
Bigger than anything the leafs could do.

Raptor chants are everywhere, alexis on fire concerts in NYC, pga tour lol.

Its unbelievable. Great to see.

Raptors and Jays will get that country-wide support. The rest of Canada forgets "Toronto" on the jerseys. Leafs are seen differently obviously with 7 Canadian NHL teams.

Jays were huge in 2015, 16. But yeah, this is a game changer in our country towards basketball. It will be seen for years to come in terms of popularity and development.

What's funny is because there's only 1 Canadian NBA team, the announcers on TSN are allowed to be such incredible homers for the Raptors. If the Leafs get 1 single compliment people freak-out.

The tv crew are blowing the Raptors every game. Jack Armstrong thinks every call against them they were robbed.

You seriously underestimate the Leafs fanbase, my friend. Maybe there won't be an apocalypse outside of Ontario but I think the impact will be more thunderous than a Raps victory.

Vancouver fans riot because they don't know what a championship is like. They've never had a parade and never will.

I did actually think of that but LH is such an iconic apocalyptic character... having said that, I guess I should have gone with one of these guys*?

Leaf fans take over every arena. You sure no one outside Toronto would care? Those aren't only people from Toronto flying in to Calgary, Vancouver, ETC

The jays first win was huge. But the GTA has pretty much tripled in size from like 3m to closer to 9m today. That's why it may seem bigger. That and well, everyone has smart phones now. And we actually have huge t.v. screens where people can gather.

That was cool that they got the same actor.

Fury Road is the best film of this millenium FYI

Lmfaoooooo totally

If the Leafs ever have a Cup clinching game I'm gonna watch it in an off the grid bunker somewhere. I expect the tv signal will cut out shortly after the win.

There would be groups of Leaf fans all over the place imo. The blue Leaf would be visible in other cities for sure.

went to a raptors games (vs bulls) approx 7-8 years ago.
holy moly what a boring sports.
fans got most excited that game by raps potentially scoring 100+ points - which would mean they would get a free slice of pizza next day by some company.
so last 5mins of game, the crowd got into it, cheering 'pizza, pizza!'.
i guess a lot of things can change.

at least in hockey you can be 5ft6 and still be in the nhl - that's out of the question in nba. the mere 'virtue' of being 7ft tall can guarantee you a shot at nba.

second category sports in my book.
