The Atlantic Division

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs aren't the ones with 2 rookies in their top-4 and two slugs like miller and mcquaid in the lineup.

McAvoy might be a rookie but he's a real good defenseman

This is a good thread for some Ottawa opinions from earlier in the year.

"The class of the Atlantic to me are TB and Ottawa this year" is a line that has aged just beautifully.

Man TWS sure knows how to predict the future.

Again [mod]

Find the post where I said you guys "always collapse in the third" or "blow a ton of games late". I referenced that 4 games stretch and thats it

Torontos record:

Scoring First
28-5-3

when After 1 ...
Lead
21-3-0

when After 2 ...
Lead
22-1-2


Damn team just cant hold a lead.

YOU SAID:

I just cited 4 games in a row (!!!) that the Leafs blew late less than a month ago

you may have no directly said it but sure were implying it, [mod]

 

[BAM]

That's the point... THERE WAS A GAME 7, even if the Bruins won that game. So how did they piss the cup away?

being 2 minutes away from a do or die game 7 which is how the won Bruins won their last cup...I don't need to remind you of that do I?

Ok thanks for quoting a post where I didn't say what you wanted me to say

Thanks for making my point for me

This one was my favorite:

I like how they are built and coached. It goes far beyond having one of the best 1-3 best players in the NHL. Ottawa may be Karlsson and the Sens. But the And the Sens part is a good team on its own too. Stone is not getting a lot of noise on the Mainboard until just recently. But this is a talented well coached and selfless team. Living in Ontario, I see them as Ontario's team, and for a time last year when they were the last team standing Canada's capital and team.

Would you care to take this one back ?

Chirping the B's for having two rookies in the top 4 and "slugs" in the back yet they're outplaying the Leafs by a rather wide margin.

That's still a far cry from pissing away a Cup no?

In all fairness the Leafs do frequently have mental lapses where they let teams back in games. They usually don't lose them though, and have shown a resilience that wasn't there last year. The last two games against the Sens and Lightning show this.

Typical of this season.

It's not healthy to be in denial

 

[SunDevilHockeyFan]

Haven't you guys ever heard that old saying?

" 'Tis better to have made the Stanley Cup Finals only to shit the f***ing bed in the clutch than to never have made it there at all"

Keep scouring the internet for those obscure statistics that make your team look slightly better, though.

[mod] As far as Toronto, I guess it's about time for a team with four top eight picks in their lineup to actually do something? Should be a great series if they meet.

3 of them in their sophmore seasons and we're on our way to a second playoff in a row with them.

Could be worse, we could have traded them like Seguin or Hamilton

All we've been told is how much more elite the Bruins are tho in this thread by Bruins fans

 

[SunDevilHockeyFan]

Such a wide margin.

You're right, that was a bit of an exaggeration lol

Although with the way they're playing those 4 games in hand have the potential to put the Bruins in a much bigger lead points wise.

Isn't that what you just did? The teams are about even as both have you have demonstrated. Yes the Bruins have 4 games in hand but that's 4 more games in a brutal March-April.

Or maybe you're just trying to hide the fact that you got exposed for being completely wrong? I think that's more accurate. thanks for coming out to play kid

I hope the Leafs face the Bruins in the playoffs, should be fun stuff

So, the Bruins beat up on crappy teams who have crappy offences thus making their D look good. Then their fans go out thumping their chests talking about having an amazing D and pts record. I see.

I've never seen a poster be wrong so often, get called out on it and just keep chugging along.

That's how the pros do it. They shrug off logic and facts and keep their eyes on the prize. I would nominate TWS for the HFB HOF. Without a doubt.

Despite Toronto going on the best streak of their season the P% difference between Boston(2) and Toronto(6) is larger than the gap between Toronto and 18th placed New Jersey. There is a gap there, folks.
