Was the Drury penalty legit? I was upstairs getting cookies

The Av’s Leafed it up big time.

Geeze, I never thought of that. That was very Leafy!

It won't work. You didn't really have any big emotional investment in Winnipeg or Colorado.

Having said that, who you got on Sunday

I got band practice tomorrow, my drummer always has the most beer, I’ll see who he wants to win, if he even cares, since I’ll likely be grabbing a couple of his lol

But I’ll still be rooting for Winnipeg tho, let’s get a third Canadian team in round two

Might be slightly better for me in the pool if Winnipeg wins

Hoped Winnipeg would win yesterday

Hoped Colorado would win tonight

I think I’m just going to just stop hoping

Hoping the Jets get crushed.

How or why we care about "Canadian" teams to achieve baffles me. Why do we care?

Toronto and (frank) all the rest.

Yeah it was, but likely not called if it was a Panther player holding a Leaf player

I saw the other post saying it was . . . it was a hold, but it was sort of a two way hold. He was held back and then the Dallas played pulled him down (thinking on it, I don't know if he was pulled down inasmuch he pulled the guy down after the Dallas guy leaned on him and started to push him down) - so I wouldn't have called either one of them. It was more of a positional battle than a penalty - and quite honestly, not a good penalty to call in that positional situation in game 7 with 4 minutes left.

That said, I didn't really see Makar trip the guy. I thought he broke his stick, scrambled back, blocked the Dallas player off . . . and I thought, "Good play!", and then it was called tripping and I was sort of surprised.

The Canes are sorta bumholes for making the Avs have to face Rantanen in the first round

Buncha jerks

My buddy and I were talking about who we thought was going to win each series and in this one I said that I thought Colorado would win but I felt that they didn't deserve to after trading away a player like Rantanen. So there's certainly some just desserts here.

A freaking men

Remember boys. it was twat Scheifle dude, Craptain of the Jets, who once asked, "Is there anything better than beating the maple leafs?"

They're all rooting for us to lose so (frank) them. Hope they cry when they see what happens this round. They can drown in their tears or drown in the gush of my nuts busting for all i care. Rest of Canada 🖕

I have to admit that I'm pulling for the Jets.

We have a Zoom group that's been getting together to watch games since COVID hit - and it's from a group of us that were on the same softball team for years between 1997 - 2015 - but over time people have moved around so there's guys in Texas, Vancouver, Halifax and so on. One guy is a Jets fan, one guy is an Oilers fan, I'm a Leaf fan, there's a few guys who are sort of Leaf fans . . .like they're not huge hockey guys but if a game is on, they're hoping the Leafs win. One guy is a Vancouver fan (we all secretly say we're cheering for Vancouver, but we all hate them). Ultimately we all sort of pull for each other's team except when we're against one another.

So I know what Scheifele said, and I know that the Jets can be twits, but I'll root for them in the playoffs.

It's funny you say that because I am trying to look at the other games and see if other teams are getting shafted...

Florida does seem to be the new Boston.

I was surprised they called anything short of murder at that point in the game. I'm all for calling penalties when they happen, but it also sounds like this one wasn't cut and dried and obvious.

Avs got tossed.
Nice.

F the rest of the Canadian teams.

This is certainly arbitrary and equally as baffling.

The Florida Panthers had the most penalties per game by a team this season, with 4.15 per game.
https://www.statmuse.com/...ties+per+game+2024%2F2025

I know, I know....it should be even more minutes per game. The League lets the dirrrrrty cats get away with evvvverything. Such a conspearasee

May the 4th be with you ......

With Tkachuck back to 100% and a fully healthy Cats squad, you guys are done in 5, 6 max. The ONLY chance you have is if the Cats hand you power plays all series, but- that didn't work out for the Bolts too well. The Panthers never stop, never get flustered, don't care what the score is, and will beat the living crap out of you while they come at you wave after wave. 4 full lines that can score any time. I'm hoping for a good series, but I don't expect it.

Yawn.

Its the 2nd round with 8 teams left. The whole "your team doesn't stand a chance" is gone. All teams that are left are really good teams, the poop to meh teams are golfing.

Also that series was a mess. Suspensions and TB players all injured. Vasi stunk.

Leafs can win, it will be tough to win but thats what happens when you are in the final 8.

If anyone has 10 mins this is a fantastic short film recap from the Leafs/Sens series by LeafsJelly. The guy that always posts highlights from Bowen.

The dude is mad at his team and wants us to feel the same. Same with Sens fans saying the same thing.

I am excited for this round, this is where it gets difficult and any team thats left has a realistic shot at this thing.
