The same could be said about Carolina. They've held a lot of sticks and lots of interference.

I'd say the officiating has been even.

I wouldn't. But I have only seen the OT.

For a second imagine a D pairing of...

Gardiner EK

120pts & a +/- of historic proportions
😂😂
- Nighthawk

Yeah and still a minus pairing

I am watching the first episode of Killing Eve.

Wow, the psycho chick is hot.

Ive been saying that for weeks.
She also plays a great psycho, no empathy, no feelings, just straight face nuts.

Combined, 173 goals for, 121 goals against, +25.

And both missed 20-30 games.

Babcock could not get laid in a hoar house with a fist full of fifties. Keep playing the Goat - Marleau and Brown. All silky handed goal scorers.

I don't think together that would be the case, they are both weak defensively

That's what they were last year, combined. And both had off years offensively.

Wow. Penalty to Carolina. The same one they missed on Washington.

Carolina wins!

Canes!

This has become the AHL playoffs.

Aaaaaaaaand the Canes are through as well....... What could have been.

Boston will sail to the cup.

Not sold on CLB just yet. They gotta be rusty after their extended break.

7 out of the top 10 teams are gone.

That's kind of gross.

The NBA has a joke of a 1st round but this is almost the opposite of it.

The playoff format doesn't help that either.

Wouldn't surprise me if Boston won it this year at this rate. Or the upset train continues and (frank)ing Colorado wins it all.

Good job on Babs for keeping everyone fresh. That will really help us in October.

With all 4 of the top seeds out in the first round...this could have been the year to go on a run.

What a disgrace...

Teams im rooting against are still in the playoffs....still worth watching

Yep the bracket makes for some kind of mediocore second round and Conference finals.

Booohooohooo!

Rather have my mediocre team host the 2nd round than be teeing up...

Suck it (frank)ers!!!

Hey JT, you enjoying life in Toronto?

Thanks. But there is no buyer remorse here.

I for one am excited by how this team will look next year. I know the core (Matthews, marner, Tavares, reilly) will continue to get better. I really Do think sandin and bracco are stealing jobs in training camp. And I think we are going to see some big changes (possibly nylander or kadri for example being traded). I think we have a much better idea of who we are keeping now.

This clickbait narrative is way overblown.

Babs overplays his veterans, dinosaur.

Barry Trotz plays Matt Martin at 5v5 as much as Matt Barzal, savant, visionary, legend.

Babcock loses a hard fought 7 game chess match against a veteran team that finished finished higher in the standing, fireable offense.

Jon Cooper gets swept by a WC after dominating the season, meh poop happens.

Boston was a waste after beating the Leafs last year... worn out, tired - and that was against a Tampa team that is/wasn't particularly physical.

Columbus may be rusty, but if Boston doesn't get officiating "assistance" - it will be a tough battle for them.

nicely put... but that's Toronto - and the Toronto media - the home of hyperbole - and bull shyte
