Of course the Wings are the underdog... To say the Wings are "not a good team" is premature at this point in the season. Despite being in a rebuild they're sitting in a playoff spot right now. Yzerman has made a ton of good changes after cleaning up the dumpster fire that Ken Holland left us. The Wings are a team on the rise...

Anything less than a Stanley Cup for Toronto this year is going to be an epic failure.

Nahh... they're not good.

Only 5 points behind is 20 points pro rated over a full season

Detroit is not a good team, Leafs should beat them especially with how they are playing

The defence are actually playing better as well, even your boy #3
- Canada Cup

Yeah, he's still turning it over 10+ times a game for literally no reason, but he's blocking shots on the PK, so that's nice. Goalies making saves really helps as a whole, too.

Gio and my boy Liljegren are playing just fantastic hockey.

Ah... okay. Well I guess if it makes him feel good then carry on. Doesn't exactly make a good first impression though.
- Vladdie_Kon1

To be fair, first impressions on the internet don't matter. Rarely are people serious.

Continued impressions are are different thing. Gives you time to know their words. Also stops people from just jumping to conclusions.

5-1 Leafs so this makes no sense

Let's play the game first and see what happens. Given the Wings are in the middle of rebuild and only 5 points behind the Leafs who've also played 3 more games than Detroit... you may want to actually think before you start talking out of your a$$. Now I know why people can't stand Leafs fans.

Please dont come in here telling our Zezel what he should/shouldnt do.
You need to chill.
This is a pregame ritual, and hes been correct 13 out of 23 times
Oh, and that has nothing to do with why people cant stand leafs fans or coming in here.....its cause we don't shower mon to fri most weeks. The parade route wont plan itself ya know.

They sucked for 25 games and Keefe came in and turned them into a top team right away

You can say so what, I say thats a sign of a very good coach

And he has consistently brought his teams out of funks every year, his record is well earned

Stop posting positive things, Fake doesn’t like it. According to him our record is good because of loser points, nothing else.

I'm taking a flyer on pass along the sideboards in the defensive zone does a weird bounce and ricochets into the net as Kallgren moves into the trapezoidal area in anticipation of playing the puck

I've just been informed that the Red Wings have put this comment up on their dressing room bulletin board.

Marner with another blind backhand? Or has he done that too much now and it'll be some other kind of unforced turnover?

Gotta keep the point streak alive!

You seem very pleasant.
But getting past the 1st round will be a complete success that we will celebrate for several weeks into the summer.
So while maybe not winning the stanley cup will be a little "boo hoo", maybe winning a round or two will be "Woo hoo!"
Ya see.

Sorry who are you?
Yes, the 5pts has been helpful, as it has been for any team that gets them.

Who's in net tonight?
If Murray, I say we win.
If Kallie we may lose in OT as a result of "e"

In crayon for Bertuzzi
- Canada Cup

I usually avoid drafting guys I hate on my fantasy teams, because I don't like cheering for guys I hate, but I drafted him in a couple leagues this year and the wienerhead gets hurt.

He can (frank) off for tonight, though.

I've decided he next Leafs sweater I'm getting is his and hopefully with the Salming path on the shoulder.

I would actually consider wearing a Leafs jersey with that patch

I've seen 1,000 people on Twitter suggest that they sell t-shirts, hats and sweatshirts with the logo, and push some of the proceeds to ALS research.

It's probably too hard for me to decide what to get, so I'd just get a t-shirt, hat and sweatshirt.
