Alberta_OReilly_Fan
Bruin fan since 1975
this thread could become a gong show... but we all know leaf fans have their fun at our expense. let them say what they want in their own threads. I for one love the playoff format. I love that leaf fans are obnoxious. I get more enjoyment beating them than any team not in montreal or Vancouver {sorry leaf fans you are at best the 3rd most obnoxious fans ive ever met}
I invite other bruin fans to go ahead and have some fun here... but try to keep it fun. no need to get personal. hockey should be fun. I know there are more leaf fans then any other team in the world... so theres more good leaf fans then any other team in the world. Obnoxious fans are always louder for any team than good fans. im being obnoxious this very moment and look how loud I am.
this thread might die a quick death or be unwanted. if so, so be it. I hope it has legs and is fun and lasts the next few weeks until we are safely in the second round.
to get things started... lets talk about the leafs advantage in depth up front... all their secondary scoring.
William nylander 0 goals in last 13 games
Nazem kadri… no goals in 12 games
connor brown he has 1 goal in 24 games
kasperi kapanen the breakout kid this year has 1 goal in 16 games
and andreas johnsson… 1 goal in 13 games
is this the type of scoring depth they are braging about?
lets look at a player vrs player matchup and see how much edge Toronto has
anyone picking Matthews over Bergeron?
is marner the better player than marchand?
I know I dont take nylander over pastrnak lol
how about taveres over krejci... I guess thats where the leafs hand their hat when they say they are deeper... I dont see it much else
is marleau going to be better than johnasson… really?
is hyman your pick over debrusk?
I am a fan of kadri… but hes a lose canyon... and is he that much better than coyle
im not sold on kapanen being better than Heinen either
are we already at 9th place on the depth chart and without establishing any leafs advantage?
johnsson or wagner… we will see who comes through
brown or backes…
if kuraly is around healthy I take him over the goat
where is this huge advantage Toronto is hanging their hats on?
they better hope to hell their goalie stands on his head or this will be another season with Toronto fans screaming and crying at the big screen in their park.
is it the playoff format that is responsible? or just needing to focus on building a team that is better suited for playoff hockey? im actually a closet Toronto fan... they are my second favorite team. so I hope I dont come across too ignorant. but you guys deserve better after 50 years of misery. hold your team accountable. dont drink the poison coolaid. this model you re trying to use for success might allow a hot streak for 20 games in the regular season but its doomed for disappointment in finals.
if mods want to merge my thread into some other thread or delete it altogether so be it.
I like to answer the myths being spread around though. maybe next time I will share the leafs record against top 10 defensive rated teams. its like in the nfl some teams cant stop the run. leafs turn out to lose in overwhelming fashion against anyone that knows how to play defense.
oh... guess who is 3rd in team defense?
im glad Toronto considered it a moral victory when Nashville only beat them 3-0
maybe it wont feel too bad when we do the same thing
