Their anthem singer sucks.

Beat these guys and make their clown fanbase cry cry cry.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I know I’ll be bringing some hatred.

Nothing Like an olde fashioned Original Six matchup on Saturday night.

I’ll be behaving accordingly.



I nominate this for post of the day.

If you like it, THERE IS MORE FROM WHERE THAT CAME FROM.

My main “base” are Canes, but as a Czech native I am contractually obliged to adore Pasta and DK.

This little boy from 1959 is now a bitter old Leafs fan

David pastrnak is on pace to score 71 goals. Come on pastr.
Off the top of my mind ...don't think there's been a Czech born player to score that many

Let's send an early message tonight and beat the leafs tonight. Also shut the leafs fans up too which is always a good thing.

“Centre of the Hockey Universe” my foot.

One would think that to claim that title, they would need a championship or two more recently than 1967.

In 1967 when the Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup:

Lyndon Johnson was President of the United States.

Paul VI was pope.

Elizabeth II was still Queen of the United Kingdom, but was ‘only’ fifteen years into her reign.

The first American Lunar landing was still two years away.

The Vietnam War was still eight years away from ‘officially’ ending in 1975.

The Soviet Union still existed.

All four Beatles were alive and well and making hit records.

Bobby Orr was a rookie.

There were people alive who actually remembered the Chicago Cubs World Series win of 1908 and the Boston Red Sox World Series Championship of 1918.




Yup. It’s been a while.

We are so fortunate to have the best goaltending tandem in the NHL, the best two way centre, arguably the best first line, one of the most lethal PPs and an amazing young defense, not to mention a great Captain. The secondary scoring will come. I love this team, they are close knit and play through adversity with passion.

Beating the Leafs is always icing on the cake. Let's do it again.

I don’t really feel the fire for MTL anymore...Pittsburgh is still there for sure....but there’s very little that’s as great as absolutely crushing the spirit of maple leaf square though. f*** those people. Every one of them.

I was -7.

I have never known the stench in my nose of a Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Championship.

I wish I could say the same about the Canadiens.

Oh well. Can’t have everything, I guess.

 

[TP]

I'm scared!!!!!!!!!!!!

We may need you to report for re-education.

What a patriot!

Many Czech hockey fans work that way.

Their true club allegiance is in Czech republic, so they primarily stick to Czech players.

During Jágr’s actuve NHL tenure (he’s still playing for a club he owns) it wasn’t unusual to cheer for his current team simply because he was playing there.

...

HOWEVER, it is true both Pasta and DK were always ready to represent in NT jersey when they cluld.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s be friends.

I can stop by, from time to time, but I need mods permission to use Shift key. A lot. (NO SELF-RESPECTING HURRICANES FAN USES CAPS)

I checked out your “other work” and please allow me to say that it is my privilege to know you. You are a BEAST. (That’s a complement)

I have a black Bruins Jagr jersey with a 2013 Stanley Cup Final patch on it. I will wear it tonight in your honor.

Feel free to stop in any time.
