Zak MacMillan: Stanley Cup Pre-Game Five Battle of Ontario

I'm thinking 3 -1 with an empty netter. Any stupid play might cost your team a game tonight.

TOR shutout OTT blew their load in game 4 they wont score this game.

we will know if OTT gives up 21st OA, or a top 10 pick in 2026 on May 6th as draft lottery is may 5th

There wasn't a double OT? Zak is AI. So many weird mistakes. Like, Hamonic is in and Jensen is scratched? I just checked google and that's literally what the AI bot tells me. Leevi Merilainen isn't even on the main roster right now. C'mon, man.

OTT just sucks, every time the leafs are in the sens zone its like a PP for them, and when the sens are in the leafs zone they are on the sens like bees on honey. OTt cant do anything while OTT lets the leafs dictate play in OTTs zone.

Yeah, someone brought that up when he first showed up. I mean, I'm glad someone is writing but with khawk around, it's all I need. (cue bad jokes here)

Exactly.

Here are my thoughts

Sweep - Not acceptable. Would've sucked all summer
Loss in 5 games - Tolerable. Season was successful overall
Loss in 6 games - Great season! Home goodbye. They fought back
Loss in 7 games - Really proud !! Sucks we never got 1 game 7
Win in 7 games - Dream scenario, only thing better is a cup

w00t! We're at stage 3!

i was correct about the shutout tho, just the wrong team.

Cozens scoring is huge.

Zetterlund is the most snake-bitten player I have seen in a long time.

Hopefully we see a similar game in Ottawa!!!!

Edit
If I'm not mistaken, this is the first game Ottawa was out hit, but had more blocked shots.

You could see it coming with Ullmark, he was building towards this kind of game over the past couple starts.

But, I thought rest of the team played pretty well outside the first. They were outshot but they had lots of high danger chances too.

On to game six
