Yep. They were already going there with Reilly but Dubas pulled the rug out from under them.

Fixed and YES!!!

While I don't disagree with the obvious statistical facts, I believe you overlook the psychological difference. It's a big one in sports. (and winning just one round is doing BETTER than the Leafs btw, just not having a epic collapse when leading is BETTER than the Leafs. )

The Leafs have been fighting that first round Demon for years. To a debilitating degree. And the untimely injuries have exacerbated the mental even more. Very hard to succeed.

The Avs have made the playoffs and WON a few rounds. Nothing mental just parity, consistency and/or hockey gods so they don't really have any mental stigma to overcome.

If Leafs were to get passed the 1st round and shook that monkey off their backs, they would be lights out with confidence going forward...me thinks.

So a bit of a different problem and an obvious difference in success thus far.


2022 Leafs vs Avs for the CUP!!!!!!!!

All good points. I hope you’re right about the finals.

Agreeing with you and Shack, of course. Kadri has always been someone who can handle first line, second line, or third line duties. He's very skilled. He has good hands, good offensive instincts, good effort level, a good shot and is an above average passer. If he didn't have the emotional stability of an 8 year old who forgot to take his Ritalin, he'd be even better. He's not quite good enough to elevate a line entirely on his own, but he is entirely capable of playing with just about any elite quality winger and being a quality contributor.

And every so often he’ll absolutely drill someone with a massive hit. I loved that about him.

If only he could control his "playoff" temper..

Dude seems to enjoy getting suspended in the playoffs for some reason..

There’s a little Matt Cooke in him unfortunately.

Kadri's always been good offensively, and responsible defensively...It's his inability to keep his emotions in check that hurt him here.. Who knows, maybe after all these suspensions, he's finally learned something?

Doubtful, since he did it again last season.

Good player for sure, but about as sharp as a bowling ball.

No problem. Mrazek close to being ready to return for three or four games before he goes down again.

dats just bad luck

Never liked Kadri even back in junior. Too boneheaded and never learns. Much better with Kerfoot. Less problems and dont miss him much at all.

Sucks on Woll being banged up. Least if Mrazek is close its just Hurchinsieve sitting on the bench. Thank god.

Semyenov not surprised but kind of sucks. I wonder if he doesnt wnd up like Barabanov with the Sharks and finds a fit elsewhere getting claimed. Cant be any worse than some on say Arizona etc.

What went wrong with him.?

Do we know why he's on unconditional waivers for the purpose of contract termination.

I guess they were going to send him down and he didn't want to .
Back to the KHL for him.

(frank) the Leafs are gonna lose tonight
