OT: Around the NHL: Ploffs - This is Outhouse!

[Kristopher Letang]

Lol Leafs.

Hope Marner’s performance in the series puts an end to people on this board wanting him. Even in Jake’s bad playoff showings, he showed twice as much heart as Marner does in the playoffs.

Yeah idk why people want him lol No thanks. You can’t have that much cap space tied to a well known playoffs choker.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Leafs should show up to game five wearing Panthers jerseys.

Oh, and be the Panthers.

 

[66-30-33]

Damnit Dubas, he did it again. Leafs down 3-1! Stoopid!

Dallas better find a way. Vegas goalie is standing on his head.

 

[Turin]

Wyatt Johnson plays Kris Letang 2009

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Leafs gonna Leaf…

 

[Beau Knows]

That Leafs roster really has no excuse. If they were losing because their goaltending is so outmatched against the Boston duo...okay fine.

But they're losing because their core guys just don't show up. The Leafs have scored more than 2 goals once in the last 12 playoffs games, they've got some of the best offensive players in the game. It's pathetic.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Damnit Dubas, he did it again. Leafs down 3-1! Stoopid!

They're still literally blaming Dubas on their board. It's Shanahan that constructed that team. He's the one constant there over multiple gms and coaches.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Some are saying Marner has a high ankle sprain or some shit. His skating is not as explosive as it used to be.

Robert Bortuzzo extends the series. lol or was that tipped by Barzal? ETA: It was Barzal's goal.

Nylander was ripping Marner in that clip from above. Keefe is now 4-12 at home in the playoffs as Leafs coach with 6 straight playoff home losses.

I've maintained for years that he is Boudreau 2.0, a great regular season coach who isn't good enough to take you all the way.

I can see Treliving going after Qunneville this off season, assuming of course that the league reinstates him.

Let me introduce you to Mike Sullivan. I’m sure we can wotk something out.

Exactly what I keep thinking after their losses. “How long until this is blamed on Dubas too?”

 

[Icarium]

Can we trade Sullivan to the Leafs? Asking for a friend.

We owe it to the man to give him a chance to lead a team in the Mecca of hockey and get interviewed by the best journalists. Make it happen, FSG and whoever owns the Leafs!

The Dallas game was crazy, Vegas almost pulled it off despite Dallas probably having more breakaways than Vegas had scoring chances.

The Islanders with their cockroach impersonation again but I am not displeased to see at least one more derby of Florida.

Meanwhile Nylander missed the first three games because... ??

Good question.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Migraines is the popular theory.

 

[Gurglesons]

Desmith potentially not starting. Already injured lol?

Confirmed injured lol.

This dudes body just gives out under the stress of being the guy when coming in to cover in the playoffs.

The Avs are so frigging good, and look so god damn focused offensively, its almost painful watching them snuff out the Jets. Most impressively (because ours is so pathetic) their PP wastes no time. They get a man advantage with 1 minute left in the second, MacK is calling for the puck, they put it down low and get a scrappy goal within 35 seconds.

Its not a future we want to contemplate, but it does make me curious about the potential of Sid playing there. IMO, the fit goes beyond the MacK connection. They’re just a serious, business-like hockey machine, that takes advantage of every thing their opponents give them.

Sid should go there if he’s serious about winning…we’re not winning anything any time soon…also, if Sid was serious was about winning, he’d tell FSG to get out of Sullivan’s contract lol..I’d be fine with Sid leaving and trading him for some good picks and prospects this summer that probably would return the Pens to some level of respectability sooner..he could be traded for this upcoming season and then return here as a UFA

Agreed, completely. Best case scenario is he ages like fine wine here AND changes are made in the team to allow us to be competitive and not waste his last few years.

But since that probably wont happen, if he gets tired and quietly asks out, he would be a force on that team. Sid would be in the strange position of being the less serious franchise pillar compared to MacK. And if Landeskog really is done, they have about 17m in cap space with a team of guys who are locked up for their primes, with a few exceptions, and ready to win now.

Most importantly, they're a hell of a team to watch, and easy to root for.

I imagine they sign Mittlestadt for many years.

 

[66-30-33]

Crosby on the Avs would be so unfair. MacKinnon would switch to wing to play with his BFF. I'm totally down for a Crosby to Avs trade, but no clue what we would get future wise.

 

[Extra Texture]

Yup. They're in a good spot with him, though I was initially surprised by that trade. Him and Makar, mid 20s. Their top guys in their late 20s, and early 30s. If this core of theirs can put one or even two more banners in the rafter, I'm sure they wont give a shit about losing some picks in 2028 or something.
