McQuaid could’ve beaten up every single member of the 2015 Blackhawks playoff roster.
Hell, the Ducks did beat up those Blackhawks in the Conference Finals.

This is correct, but only because the Jets have more skill than the LeafsWith two teams equal in skill, sure it matters.
But the only team in the league with as much skill as the Leafs is Tampa.
You'd think you'd realize how effective Kadri's game is after he humiliated the SharksThis was all that needed to be said.
It would be better without a lot of things. It's a message board. Deal with it.
Also, judging from the reaction, I can't really be sure if that poster was not crying. Read his posts and tell me you can.
No they don't.This is correct, but only because the Jets have more skill than the Leafs
Haha Kadri, fake tough guy when he is running guys from behind or accidentally falling into goalies, shrivels up and dives when a real man grabs him.
Nah man, he got tossed like trash.Hahah just watched the video, and it makes this thread better!
Comment: "Kadri punched the goalie"
Reality: Kadri bumps goalie, goalie gloves Kadri then Kadri gives him a soft push.
Comment: "McQuaid ragdolls Kadri"
Reality: McQuaid drops his gloves, realizes Kadri isnt going to fight and pushes him to the ground.
Great stuff everyone.
Nope, Bruins weren't tough. They acted tough and took cheap shots against a bunch of injured people. Congrats?
Tim Thomas was a goalie that didn't play like that before 2011. He went on a run and got you a cup. Be grateful.
Good to know Backes isn't a real man.. Or Thornton.
Since 2010 the winners of the cup have been Chicago x 3, LA x 2, Boston and Pittsburgh x 2 and Washington.
With the exception being Pittsburgh, who happen to boast two of the best players of our generation, every other one of those teams won because they beat the **** out of their opponents for seven games with hard, heavy, fast hockey. This whole narrative that you don't need to be tough and speed and skill is what wins championships now is just wrong. And every cup winner outside of Pittsburgh over the last decade shows you it's wrong.
Nobody is going to convince me that hard hitting heavy hockey isn't still a huge part of going the distance.
How many threads are going to be made trying to discredit the Leafs today?
Thomas, Tim.
I seem to remember Buff, Bickell, Ladd, Brouwer, Boynton, Seabrook, Eager, Hjalmarsson and Burish being pretty physical players.LOL did you watch the Blackhawks from 2009-2015? They were not a physical team at all and on paper they were one of the smallest teams in the league. They kicked ass with speed, skill, and lightning fast transition. Hard hitting heavy hockey was not their mo, at all.
Oh dang is it time for the weekly "the Leafs aren't tough enough to win but every other team in the league is" thread.
HF was almost more bearable when the Leafs weren't a great team since at least you guys had facts and reality to bash them with.
Sounds like you didn't watch anything past 2010 then, because literally every player there save for Seabrook/Hjalmarrson(since when the f*** was Hjalmarrson a physical hitter?) weren't even on the Hawks past then.I seem to remember Buff, Bickell, Ladd, Brouwer, Boynton, Seabrook, Eager, Hjalmarsson and Burish being pretty physical players.
Not a lot of guys stronger and bigger than Mcquaid around so I’m not sure about that.It was smart. If Kadri wanted to fight he would have fought. He's fought stronger and bigger players then mcquaid. I don't see how getting a pp is bad when mcquaid was being an idiot.
Okay so the first cup they won with heavy hard hitting hockey doesn't count then. Gotcha.Sounds like you didn't watch anything past 2010 then, because literally every player there save for Seabrook/Hjalmarrson(since when the **** was Hjalmarrson a physical hitter?) weren't even on the Hawks past then.
