  1. I find it hilarious that Montreal's playoff success bothers you that much. You want the hard truth? The Leafs can't deal with pressure, have a core group of players that can't elevate their games when teams start checking them more tightly, and don't have the depth to compensate for it. If your definition of good is winning regular season games, then great. Maybe that helps you sleep at night, but you're delusional if you think anyone with any shred of credibility in the world of hockey, including your own team's GM and president, believes that the Leafs have earned any respect for being a good regular season team.
  2. If the Stanley Cup was awared to the best regular season team, the best teams would try harder during the regular season, it's that simple. Most of the important trophies available to be won in team sports are awared to the winner of playoff tournaments. If your team isn't good enough to win even a single round of that tournament, your team isn't that good, plain and simple.
  3. I'd say a fair number of people here are cheering for Vegas to lose rather than cheering for Montreal to win. At least I am.
  4. The follow-through rule only applies for a normal shooting motion. I'd hardly consider a mid-air swing at a puck a normal shooting motion: There's also no mention of puck contact, so that should have been a penaltly regardless of whether Marchessault touched the puck.
  5. So that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. guy is alright at baseball, I guess.
  6. Kinda makes you wonder, huh? For what it's worth, I also think Tyler Chatwood might have been on the sticky stuff before his form suddenly fell apart. Would actually explain a lot: https://cubsinsider.com/2021/01/08/tyler-chatwood-named-among-pitchers-who-doctored-baseballs-with-sticky-substance/
  7. Obviously wouldn't be happening if the players on both teams weren't assured that Eriksen is okay, so this is definitely good to hear.
  8. Good lord, something awful has just happened to Christian Eriksen. To be more clear, he collapsed on the pitch and resuscitative efforts are currently ongoing.
  9. Not gonna lie, watching the Leafs lose to a zamboni driver might have been the funniest thing I've ever seen in the NHL, so yes.
  10. Exactly. Sign Hall to a 2 year, $26 million deal, give up on the next two seasons, trade everyone over 25 on the roster for futures, win the lottery twice, Cupz baby.
  11. DOPS oughta be up for the Selke Trophy since they shut down Mark Scheifele so hard:
  12. FWIW, I actually picked Vegas to win in 6 in the thread poll because I wanted the Avs to win and I'm usually wrong with my predictions. Maybe I undid the reverse jinx with that post after game 1.
  13. Jets shots have hit Andrew Copp as many times as they've hit the back of the Habs net so far this series.
  14. Regardless of whether the principal point of contact is the head, a charge is still a charge. Doesn't matter whether Scheifele was trying to prevent a goal, there's no special provision in the rulebook for that: I'm honestly pretty disappointed, I thought Scheifele was above that sort of thing.
  15. Knights are a bunch of frontrunners and always have been. Everything's all fine and dandy when things go their way, but once you get them on their heels they come unhinged like this. Getting owned by the Caps in the Cup Final, all the blown 3-1 series leads, Demko getting in their heads, and now this.
  16. There's more, Steve's so angry that he's already posted his reaction to tonight's game:
  17. He's also the major league leader in OPS, total bases, offensive WAR, and adjusted OPS+. Basically he's been raking the whole year.
  18. Status update only to bump another status off the main page.

  19. Wouldn't be a playoff series involving Nazem Kadri if he didn't try to take someone's head off.
