Philippe Myers was added to team Canada apparently.

Well if that’s what you were talking about, you may as well just say the whole team is “ young and inexperienced “ since the team hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2009.

Sorry for misunderstanding English.

Terrific! More soggy cornflakes.

Np, the ages of the Canes top 4 d-men are 25, 27, 25, and 24 and only 1 had prior playoff experience. Sorry for having a different perspective.

Marchand is the best rat of all time imo

I've always kinda felt that Marchand is what Richards should've been. Over-the-top antics aside, of course

Really liked Richards while he was here, but he didn't have the hands Marchand has. The guy is really good. Just a giant douchebag.

Agreed. Marchand's skills are clearly head & shoulders above what Richie's ever were. I'm just sayin that's what I always hoped Richards would've developed into. He definitely showed flashes of high end skill here & there.

Then again, he also took a ton of chances. I remember watching him trying to make some passes or dekes that he had no business attempting

This is nice.

No offense to him but crazy that Team Canada needed his services. They didn't have anyone else willing.

This will be a nice experience for him. Good opportunity to take advantage of a fortuitous situation.

So because they won those two games, you ignore the games they lost, then attribute them to Boston starting slow. Got it.
- Ftown19125

So let me get this right. My comment of me feeling like the Bruins kinda had an easy road is ridiculous solely because Toronto and Boston went into a game 7. You didn’t watch the series in its entirety as you admit but the fact it went into 7 games, is the only argument you need.

Forget all the things going Boston’s way in the first round, like Kadri getting himself suspended in game 4, taking himself out of the series. Forget that Nylander was a no show centering that third line and allowing Toronto’s fourth line to be more effective than that third line.

Forget that there has been rumblings that Babcock May lose his job because he only game Matthews three shifts in the third period of an elimination game.

Forget that Toronto was heavily out played in game 6 and pretty much blown out in game 7. Boston didn’t have the way pathed for them, as everything pretty much went in their favor?

Clearly, you don’t even know what you're arguing because you admitted to not even watching it.

The series against the Leafs still went 7 games. How could you possibly say they had an easy path? Ridiculous comment.
- Ftown19125

Agree with ST2P that no path is easy.

However, at the beginning of the playoffs if you had to a chose between possibly playing:
Toronto, Tampa, Washington to get to the cup OR Toronto, CBJ and Carolina. You know who you would pick. Once they beat Toronto, they got to play 2 wildcard teams instead of potentially Tampa and Washington.

At the same time Columbus dismantled the Lightning and had a hard fought series with the Bs, is that worth nothing? The guy is dismissing the Toronto series though which is the craziest part, while stating a babcock and Matthews fued . I never thought much of the Hurricanes though.

I could get behind this a little maybe if he said that, but he didn't. Couldn't play Tampa because they were swept by the team they would eventually face. Saying they had an easy path when they had to come from behind the first series is pretty dumb.

He wants to argue I didn't watch every game. He can, no matter what he says though they didn't have an easy path.

Completely ignoring that they lost 3 games and were behind in the series, even. Had to win their last 2 games. Easiest path ever.

Boston has been living rent free in the head of Toronto for years. It’s almost a given that if the Leafs make the playoffs, they have to face Boston first.

Yeah, presenting me the details of a game you didn’t watch. “It went into game 7”.

You know that hockey is a kids game that professional athletes play in exchange for money, right? It’s not building a Skyscraper in the middle of New York while trying to commit to a deadline of its Completion.

You have no idea how many situations went Boston’s way in the first round and it shows.

I believe it was a one goal (two tops) game going into the third.
edit: 1 goal game..

Read what I said again dude. I said I didn't watch it in its entirety, not that I didn't watch any games. That sky scraper analogy didn't really fit in there. One of the situations you mentioned were "rumblings" of Babcock being fired. What a joke.

Edit: We disagree, moving on.

I recall Toronto buzzing in the second half of the second period, came out strong in the third and there ended up being a turnover by Gardner or a bad goal by andersen that took the winds out of the sails. It was by no means an easy series.

The rumblings of Babcock isn’t a joke. It’s called living in southern Ontario and having the local stations. One being TSN.

Wow...You don’t even sound remotely sure in this post. Which is it? Jake Gardner turnover or bad goal by Anderson.

Yeah, I’ll be sure to take your word for the duration of this conversation.

I’m arguing with two guys about a hockey series. One’s argument is, the series went into game 7 but he didn’t watch the game in its entirety but that’s his argument, so it had to have been hard caught. The other thinks something might have happened or something else but he’s not sure but what he is sure of, he’s right.

Wow...

Lol dude it was like 3 weeks ago, I watched the game, and was correct in my assumption that it was a 1 goal game going into the third. Pretty sure both those things happened in the third (Gardiner turnover on a reverse and a bad goal by Andersen)

I'm not going to go pages and pages arguing with you today. But I didn't say that. I said I didn't watch all 7 games of the series, dude. Please learn how to read.

Obviously situations had to go Boston's way. They won the series, genius. One of the situations you stated was the media rumblings of Babcock being fired, which you have no idea what effect, if any, that had.

They didn't breeze through Toronto though, so acting like they had an easy path is one of the dumber things you've said in here. And that's saying a lot.

That's why no path is easy. You can't dismiss any team this time of year.

BTW, you're from where I grew up.
