Marner's on the board finally.

Mitchy bucks finally cashes in.

Montreal (who shouldn't be in the playoffs) eliminates Crosby on his birthday.

The Leafs are blowing it against an inferior Columbus squad who has the better coach.

I already finished my bottle of whiskey in anticipation of being dead inside tonight.

These are strange days indeed.

Montreal's franchise player stepped up and stole the series

Hey check out the Caresi on the 4th line. Anyone else?

I was told, in no uncertain terms, that our franchise player has been awesome.

Coach helps set the tone for culture and team attitude - both of which seem to lack something. But yeah, I get what you are saying. This team has too much talent to suck this hard.
- GalacticStone

Can a coach ask more from everyone not getting paid 40m that 4 get? Or should those 4 lead the way doing everything other than cash cheques? No pay day in the PO’s the problem?

Jeff Petry?

Guys, freedom is within reach. Queefs just gotta coast here for 2 periods and then we're all finally free of this emotional burden.
- gravyface

That feels nice.

Nobody say in 6 months from now that Leafs weren't outmatched physically by CBJ - it's really really embarrassing to watch CBJ play with the Leafs

How does everyone think this team isn't a legitimate contender. LOL. If these guys played in Florida everyone would be saying they're the best team in the league. But in Toronto the media doesn't even give them a chance against a bottom feeder like Columbus. LOL. Easy sweep. Toronto Dallas final.

Price was dominant.

But overall, Habs had everyone contribute for the win. Suzuki and KK also took huge step forward.

That's what made the difference.

Oh and Weber, Chiarot, Petry and even Kulak looked pretty damn good defensively.

Are we really going to claim that's the reason?

Jeff Petry?
- Byfuglien Ate Me

That's one underrated bastard.

He's a very good player.

The other 3 lines are so easy to play against.

- RogerRoeper

Aaaaand here we go. Here come the excuses.

That's one underrated bastard.

He's a very good player.

Bergevin's best trade.

What's the reason Roger?

Why aren't the Leafs winning the cup right now?

Hell, I had them beating Columbus and I'm a Habs fan.

I thought MM was da man, according to many here, totally worth $11M and better than Draisaitl...

What happened?

I'm thinking Babs orchestrated that decision hard.

This should be AM34's (frank)ing team. I love Snakevares, but Matthews actually has a goddamn personality and is a huge gamer. He should be Cap'n.
- mjones242

If true then he’s kisses a stars ass. Kadri as captain & tell him to lead & not be a loose cannon woukd’ve maybe been a better idea. The only player who bled blue & white is gone ‘ the Av’s are more than happy.

I had Habs beating Pens.

Bergevin's best trade.
- RogerRoeper

It was a good one.

His best trade in my book remains Pacioretty for Tatar, Suzuki and a 2nd.

That's one underrated bastard.

Yep. Chairrot has been impressive as well. WPG really (frank)ed up their D.

Price was dominant.

- Scabeh

Yeah, there was also this thing I noticed, where Pittsburgh played worse than they have ever been since Crosby. They were thoroughly disinterested.

Exactly what the Leafs are doing.

Didn't we all?
