Maybe now that the monkey is off their back though...
I shouldn't probably criticize; at least TOR got into the playoffs. My Blues couldn't pull their heads out of their asses this year.
I just watched these playoff games and said to my buddy one time "As talented as TOR is, they really shouldn't struggle this much just to get a few shots. Or get out of their own zone. Or damn near anything."
Hopefully they do get their shit together. Want to see them do well. Always fun to see another Canadian team in the playoffs.
And congrats to the Leafs on finally winning a playoff series again. [Reply]

It's so dynamic. On the last PP, the Kings had a decent chance at a shortie and it looked like they had it stopped...one great entry pass, quick set up, pass across and boom. Just like that. [Reply]

Yeah it’s unfair, reminds me of the Pens with Mario, Jagr, and Francis. You’ve been outplaying them 5 on 5 tonight though, stay out of the box and you’ve got a great shot at forcing a game 7. [Reply]

Hell, saying it is one thing, actually being able too catch those guys at all is another. It wouldn't be easy to put some hits on those guys, but they need to try. EDM has way too much speed. [Reply]
