Both Dallas and Vegas were averaging just under 3 goals a game entering tonight.
Leafs are still under 2 goals with a 5% PP. They may win this series, but won't go very far with those numbers

It's been terrible but even the worse teams in the NHL can accomplish a better PP, so I think there's been a luck factor here and Swayman has been fantastic. I dunno if tonight will be the night we finally unbreak it but it's not gonna stay at 5% if they survive.

Oh well, another season flushed on our end.
I’ll cheer for the winner of the Stars/Knights series now.

Anyone but Florida, Boston, Edmonton, or Vancouver. Maybe throw New York in there as well.

That's a good list, Rangers would be okay.

Do you realize that Matthews & Marner & Tavares all making $11 mil or more combined for 9 playoff points this year.
The Leafs are SOOOOOOO screwed by their poor Cap management and overspending.

I'm cheering for my boy Zach Hyman and the Oilers from here on out.
The same Zach Hyman whom past management
didn't think was worth $5 mil cap investment. 
Hyman has 7 playoff goals after round #1 and in comparison Matthews (1) + Marner (1) + Tavares (1) + Nylander (3) = 6 combined, while consuming 1/2 the teams salary cap.
Auston Matthews scored 69 regular season goals + 1 playoff goal for 70 goals total on the season. Zach Hyman had 54 regular season goals + 7 playoff goals (and counting) for 61 goals on the season.
Before this years playoffs end Zach Hyman may have outscored Auston Matthews on the overall 2023-24 season.

I think that is a pretty safe bet. I'm curious to see whether Boston can muster some offense against Florida. If they can, the Leafs may deserve more credit than we are giving them.

Really? How can you not watch a game 7 between Vegas and Dallas? It will likely be better than any of the Cup final games.
I get that sentiment, but on the other hand I love hockey, I will go watch beer league players in the summer, when there is no hockey on TV, I just love the sport, I will watch every game to the end, and will be sad when the season is over, and will begin the countdown till training camp.
I love hockey too but last night loss broke me. I’m apathetic right now and I’m sad because we lost against the bruins again .
I guess I’m burned out after a very long regular season and another disappointing elimination in the first round.

Pretty much the same here.
I find Leaf failures very easy to get over now and they don't cut into my love of the game at all. When my expectations for them were still high maybe I'd be bummed out for a couple days but even then I'd still be anxious to see the next round and every round after that. This is the best hockey we'll see all year, enjoy it.
Update: I changed my mind somewhat. I will only watch if there are game 7s. These games are the best and most exciting. But I won’t watch the rest of the playoffs though.
So I will watch tonight’s game 7 between the stars and golden knights. This should be a good one, the defending Stanley cup champ vs the top seed in the west.

A goal in under 3 minutes. Unheard of. Free ice right up the middle. Unheard of.
Edit: and now 1-1.
It's so weird to see after grinding through our series.

Yup. Most of us Leaf’s fans will watch all the playoffs. It’s natural for us as we’re used to either not making playoffs or being out very early. Lol.

I like Hyman too but nowhere near enough to cheer for those whiner/divers.I'm cheering for my boy Zach Hyman and the Oilers from here on out.

Tony should just shut tf up. I'd love to see somebody kick his ass.
Rangers score 3 in one period against a strong defense. And guess what, two of their top scorers get the goals.
