Has Crosby returned or is he out of the game?

Still out

Dirty hit, I’m wondering if Trouba will get in trouble for this with NHL Player Safety

Would be fun for the Leafs to go through a gauntlet of recent Cup winners:

Round 1 - TBL
Round 2 - Caps
Round 3 - Pens
Round 4 - Blues or Kings



I guess we have to win this round first though, amirite?

Probably not, it's the Rangers.

Against the caps I like 3-0-0
The Pens not so much 1-1-0 (and were shutout)
Blues I’m not comfortable about it 1-1-0 (blues with 11 goals and the leafs with 9)
Kings makes me remember 93’ and I don’t like that lol

Man the Bunting crybaby hate is in full effect today.

Probably not, it's the Rangers.

No suspensions this year but they did get fined $250K last spring for criticizing NHL Player Safety so it’s not 100% safe for them

A Cup win over the Kings would exorcise a lot of demons though.

Even tho my cousin was on the kings in 93’ I hated that the leafs lost that series… a leafs vs habs final would have been awesome

Rangers beat the Penguins

BUT

Panthers are beating the Capitals

Given the past Leaf bellyflops, no Leaf fan should feel ashamed at bailing on them after the first period last night. Our fan experience is that Leaf fans do not deserve nice things. Thus, few of us really believe they will win on Thursday. I am sure Tampa fans are confident their team will find a way, since they always do. Leafs need to change that narrative and step hard down on the necks of the Lightning and end this in Tampa. Game 7 foreshadows another bellyflop for the Leafs. That loss, if It happens, will generate pink slips. No tomorrow.

Vasilevsky's numbers this series:

GAA: 3.25
SV%: 880

Leafs should be smelling blood in the water.

Vasy has yet to be vasy.
Honestly, the series should be over by now.

I mean, I think he's played pretty well and the leafs offense was top 2 in the league this year. I think this is the leafs showing they can beat Vasy. He's done a lot to keep Tampa in earlier games too.

That Florida goal may be the worst defensive gaff I’ve seen this playoffs.

Ovi looks terrible right now.

Florida getting 5 unanswered goals in this game might throw Washington off in game 6

They’re a truly offensive team and the capitals weren’t defensively successful enough after taking a three goal lead

Maybe they should have continued trying to be offensive a bit more

Reichel-Nieuwendyk-Nolan
Tucker-Francis-Kilger
Ponikarovsky-Antropov-Domi

Belak

Belfour
Kidd

What’s everyone hoping for when it comes to the Dallas and Calgary game?

I’m kinda torn but I guess I’m rooting for Calgary since they’re a Canadian team (even tho I still hate Edmonton lol)

You really don’t like it when the leafs win, do you?

After Verhaeghe’s first goal they pretty much fell apart
