Toronto - Winnipeg Stanley Cup Final

[Ace Card Bedard]

playing it safe

Tampa - Nashville

Predators get a late PP in a tied game 7 but give up a shorthanded goal and lose the series.
This becomes their "wide right" Norwood moment and they become the NHL's version of the Buffalo Bills.

Lol ^

Finished with the same amount of wins as the Leafs last season with a decimated roster in a tougher decision.

Jets would take this

But didn’t you finish with 4 more points when we tanked to get Matthews with an AHL roster and you were all out battling for a playoff spot? Fact is WPG has underperformed every single season since moving back to the Peg, the team has actually been solid for about 5 years now.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Both teams need to win a round first.
(my team does too, wtf)

 

[JetsHomer]

We're going back to the same amount of wins argument? Been a while since I've seen a Jets fan try and play that card.

Leafs fans still trying to pretend that they’re team is on another level than the Jets is def my favourite hfboards meme

Would be one of the coolest things to happen in my lifetime. One can always hope.

 

[Butch 19]

would not watch

 

[PhilJets]

Would get horrid viewership numbers

Nah all of finland will watch ghe series

It will equal the amount of americans who watches the stanley cup finals.

And toronto alone whole canada will be interested to watch them either by hate or love..


That would be an a good final but bad for us market. Bad for Bettman ? Good for canada...

 

[PhilJets]

i know one thing, the Jets would get outcoached. and I don't mind Maurice.

That can be the case... yes indeed...

Maurice will need to level up.

 

[Whileee]

The story lines would be great.

Matthews vs Laine
Matthews vs Scheifele
Matthews vs Wheeler
Matthews vs Maurice
Matthews vs Cheveldayoff
Matthews vs Matthews

You forgot...

Matthews vs. Crosby
Matthews vs. Lemieux
Matthews vs. Gretzky
Matthews vs. Trottier
Matthews vs. Beliveau
Matthews vs. Howe

Not in Canada. Leafs fans infest inhabit every corner of the country.

False.

Pavs in net.
Stuart on D.
Thorbs at forward.

Scheifele just came into his own over the past 2.5 years. Same for Trouba, Hellebuyck and Morrissey, Ehlers, etc. It was Little, Ladd and Wheeler and a bunch of misfits. They've never had the talent, depth and goaltending they have this season.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Yes the Jets need to be like the Leafs first....
Be a playoff team every year and win some
Rounds...... wait?

No. Be a playoff team. You know like the leafs were last yr.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Leaf fans talking about making the Playoffs last season with the luckiest possible season, anyways Jets are better today.

Luckiest possible season even though they had 15 OT/SO losses. OK.

 

[Sol]

Realistically though, the Jets would most likely pound the Leafs into the next year.

Not likely.

USA wins.

My thoughts on this thread.

- Poor ratings? Can't be any worse than the last two years. Leafs have the biggest fan base, and every single Canadian fan will be watching either to cheer the cup back to Canada or hate on the Leafs. Nevermind most fans of American teams dislike the Leafs and will tune in hoping to see them embarrass themselves.

- Saying they won't make the finals due to history is really dumb. Are people saying this new to hockey? Do they realize Chicago was more of a joke than the Leafs, and went from missing the playoffs to their first cup in forever over two seasons?

- Would be a very good series. Both teams have a deep and potent offense. Also have a rivalry with the fans as Winnipeggers hate the Leafs.

- R.I.P the mods on HF if this happens.

True. Most watched Winter Classic game still remains Maple Leafs vs Red Wings in 2014.

4.4 million people (2.5 rating)

No. Be a playoff team. You know like the leafs were last yr.

We've already managed to be eliminated in the first round. I'd like to aim a little higher.

 

[BlueBaron]

On what planet are the Leafs one of the 3 most dangerous teams in the NHL. My god the overrating by Leafs fans is getting unbearable. How about you actually do something before you make such a claim.

Look at goals scored. Leafs lead the league. We are the biggest danger to score on you. We did actually score those goals so we can make that claim. Leafs are a good team, get over it.

We do not have to wait for your permission to say so though your self importance is impressive.

That you are upset fans of a good team think their team is good suggests Leaf fans are not the problem. Maybe unbearable better describes those that feel we need their permission to say anything positive about our team?

Now to the OP. There is no doubt this would be an exciting match up. I think both teams would just be happy to reach the final. Could go either way but I give us a slight edge.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Well I think we can all be civil can't we? This is the internet after all.

Yes, we can all be civil. I don’t think that the leafs will make the playoffs.

 

[KingBran]

Id probably be playing xbox instead of watching that.

 

[b in vancouver]

It's going to be Boston vs. Anaheim. So ...
