Around the League - Stanley Cup Edition

I actually think Mack is better than McDavid. I would choose him over CM.

Makar is OUT OF THIS WORLD it's utterly ABSURD the amount of talent they have, and Mack makes 6.3M!!! It guts me fully to think of that.

They will be a straight up dynasty going forward.

Makar is 22 holy f***

I think Mack is better than McDavid too. McDavid will win more Hart and Art Ross but Mack will win more Cups.

It certainly is frustrating watching stars on other teams lead the way to success when the ones on your team get outshined by old man Spezza.

MacKinnon is absolutely insane. How many players right now could you take over him in a playoff series?

None. He plays with an authority, few, if any can match. The Avs run a similar PP zone entry to us, but they actually achieve zone possession because MacKinnon bulldozes his way in the zone. Not only has he scored at a 120 point pace in the playoffs, but he looks the part. If your best player competes like that the rest will follow. That team is going to win multiple cups.

Would you say that if they swapped teams?

Would you say that if they swapped teams?

Probably bc Mack is more powerful but he is also a bit older too.

Man is not going to carry the Oilers.

Looks like real men are playing on another channel. 3-1 fricken Islanders.

Well.. We know the Habs are mediocre garbage, so at least Bergevin has saved his job for another year.

We are the joke of the NHL. No one compares to us.

Wow .. You guys watch this Boston vs NYI game.

Terrific hockey as Isles win in OT.

Boston tied it but they won it in OT. Playing skating with speed? That’s weird. Leafs/Habs was molasses.

Winner of that series plays COL or VGK (probably COL)

Then we get to see how truly pathetic the North is this year lol

I came to the realization that Kerfoot looked good in the playoffs because everyone around him was moving in slow motion.

I like the optimism.

Watched the Bruins and Islanders game and as much as I hate to admit, I admire the Bruins. Bergeron is one of my fav but the rest of the team played hard, tight and won’t give up on every plays.

We are the jokes of the league....

The leafs can win the president trophy next year and it still wouldn't matter... Nobody would take us serious or be scared of us.. and next year in the first round the team we face will have all the confidence even if we're up 3-0.. they know the pressure is in us to win and we don't have the players to get it down when it matters.

Plain and simple.

So sad to be a leaf fan.

I honestly would not pick the leafs to win a playoff series against any team until they actually show it can be done.

I think the players thought being up 3-1 meant they were going to win so they stopped playing. That was the impression I got.

New 2nd round playoff thread is UP.
