My favourite discussion time of the year. Leaf fans declare victory over everyone. We egg them on. And, we get to watch them collapse in the face of reality once the season starts. So exciting.

Obviously the Senators "iced a team" that came within one goal of advancing to the SCFs.

The leafs "iced a team" that backed into the playoffs, and were quickly dispatched to the Golf course in the first round.

Nothing, right now shows that the leafs will improve to the point that they will be able to win a round in the playoffs ....................... however, between now and the beginning of next season, things can change ........... so let's now assume that Ottawa will become old and decrepit, and the leafs will improve to the point where they will be cup contenders ............... let's see what happens over the off season before anyone presupposes anything other than what the latest playoff results have shown us.

Sens iced a team that had everything go right at the right time.


It's highly doubtful they'll even be in the playoffs next year. While Sens fans love to point at young teams that did well and then regressed, those teams have a lot more in common with Ottawa than the Leafs- they either rode hot goaltending or a hot star player, but the underlying stats showed what they really were, and the standings showed it the next season.

IMO the burden of proof is on the Sens fans to show why anyone should believe their team will be back in the playoffs.

oh Logan Brown led them eh? Lol. not the 3 forwards who put up more points like Jeremy bracco who led the tourney in scoring? or the 3 members of the team named to the all star team, which Brown was not?

it's hilarious that you pick Logan Brown. if he makes the sens squad next year that's an embarrassment to them.

Don't be so hard on Logan Brown, he's got Big Joe potential.


Yup, former Leaf, Big Joe Colborne.

So your basic premise gets torn apart my Vancouver counter to your position and you retreat to "wait and see".

Well, I guess that is the only answer then.

Until then you and I both know you would trade everything, INCLUDING current rosters Ottawa for Toronto, straight up, as would every Ottawa fan with an IQ over room temperature.

Uh,

Where the F did you come up with that?

Leafs fans have described their reasoning for their position. Sens fans have responded with "look at this past season".

They ignored my breakdown of the problems in the Sens roster.
When they bragged about their prospect leading the team to the Memorial cup, I pointed out it was a LEAF prospect who did the leading.
When I countered with the Vancouver example... You had nothing.

Now we get hyperbole.

The Sens are the next edition of the Vancouver Canucks. It is going to be so much fun to watch you wallow in mediocrity, unable to improve, and eventually collapse utterly.

Will you still be here when you are the Canucks I wonder?

Congrats on over-achieving and hitting a lucky streak to get the 28th pick overall. That should definitely help break the cycle of mediocrity.

I know definitively, that you would have traded for the entire Ottawa roster, if you knew that they would have been the third last team to have been playing this spring.

Definitely not. The point is to win the cup, and Ottawa has the same shot as the Leafs after they were eliminated by the Caps.

Ottawa will never win with their core. Leafs might plenty of time since their top players can barely grow beards.

Leafs in a better situation.

Yeah, that 19 game long playoff run by the Senators really rattled all the trollonto trolls here ....... pretending they would not have wanted the leafs to qualify for the ECFs and a shot at the finals ............. do you really think you're fooling anyone?

it would have been great to see the kids go to the third round. I, and no one else here, would do that at the expense of downgrading our roster. especially to that extent.

So lets get your logic straight here.

In your mind the Senators "downgraded" their roster, by making a few trades, and bringing in a few players at the trade deadline .......... and these moves made it possible for them to get within one goal of the the finals.


So I hope the Senators "downgrade" their roster again if it means going just as deep into the playoffs again.

Who's pretending?

Leafs goal is to win a championship. It's great to get to the conference finals, but no one trading leafs bright future for a loss in the conference finals. That notion is dumb, even for you.
