It’s just awesome how much the Leafs and JT live in the heads of rattled Islanders fans.

And you did need him to make the playoffs this year when he was playing for Toronto but carry on with the false narrative & silly chants your fan base is like a teenaged boy who got dumped and can’t get over it.

You think it’s because we’re upset he left. Nah it’s just funny watching Leaf fans get all upset over it. That’s it. Like I have said the team has been better since he has been gone there hasn’t been much to complain about save last year. Looking at playoff records we’ve been better then the Leafs. You don’t get it because here you are all upset. You keep doing that Islander fans will keep going with it. Pretty simple.

I see you're simply cherry picking a single stat for your personal narrative. If you want to take the advanced stats angle then show them all. Samsonov beats out Vasi in every category.

Here you can check the link here.
https://moneypuck.com/goalies.htm

But as you've said at the end of your post, you've hedged by stating the stats don't matter in a 7 game series. So the whole thing is moot. Nothing but "the eye" test is valid here then and Samsonov has looked better than Vasi and he's not looked so good as of late.

Like are you going to use stats or toss them away as I said earlier? Pick one. It's fine for whatever you decide.

Doesn’t that link you provided put Vas #6 overall and Sam #10 overall? Why does me using a single better metric be cherry picking for a narrative and you using two lesser metrics not be cherry picking for a narrative?

My original post had no stats in it. You brought in the irrelevant stat of Samsonov posting a .912 against the Panthers last year. I don’t have a narrative or horse in this. I was just making observations that didn’t line up with your sweep of TB narrative.

I don't understand fans of teams who have made the playoffs and are actually good and NOT wanting to cheer for them to win the whole thing. A sad life they live that they can't have fun cheering for pro sports. I mean it's not really fun going "Well...we can hope for 1 series win but after that, I'm not allowed to be excited anymore. I have to predict they lose so I can win arguments for being right on the internet!"

FYI, even if you predict the right winner of a series it doesn't change your life.

That’s not true my life has changed for the better every, single, time, I predicted a series win correctly.

Don't mind him. He's cherry picking for his narrative.

Keep painting every Leaf fan with the same brush as if it makes you feel better. Did I say the Leafs were going to win the cup? No I didn’t. What I did say was Islander fans should be thanking JT for helping get you into the playoffs.

Islanders fans - can’t get over being dumped like a bad habit by JT since 2018.

It’s 2023 now, probably time to move on to the next stage of grieving - acceptance.

And people say Leaf fans are fragile!!!

Are you not doing the same here?

Reffing is always atrocious. Across the league. I think it's an actual problem.
- Aaron_85

This I’ll agree with you on. The Bettman hates Canadian team narrative is hysterical though when in reference to the officiating. It sucks for every team. I’m sure I’ll hate it even more after these playoffs.

You are the fragile one. I didn't say one word about JT. Over it especially knowing that since he made the switch 5 years ago the Islanders made the conference finals twice and the Leafs still never got out of the first round. He has been paid only 55 million so far lol. And he is a great leader as far as you believe.

LOL you ignored the other poster proving you wrong on how to read your stats and ignored all the stats in the link I posted. You're deflecting again but keep running away from actual debate.


I'm sure if Samsonov performs better this playoffs than Vasi it'll be "because of luck" from you and others.

Naw, this guy can't handle anything but his own narrative. Deflects whenever proven wrong. MO for most idiots on this site.

Ok, but in what way does your gayness pertain to the playoffs or Buzztron?

Wow you Toronto fans are a piece of work. Haven't won a cup in 60 years. Talk the same poop every year about how much they are going to win only to get spanked over and over again. Are there any Toronto fans still alive since the last time they won the cup? lol.
- iggy


Is 40 years really that much better???
And yes, I'm well aware that we are approaching 30 years for my team - that's why I'm not taunting anyone.

Sorry but I think it's you who doesn't get it, seems like you think Leaf fans are upset that Islanders fans continue to cry and chant about JT leaving NYI? I hate to burst your bubble but Leafs fans don't give 2 poops about you or the Islanders.
