ninersdd Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The Oil are on the brink. All after a frenetic last 10 minutes were Draisaitl scored twice to tie it. Quote BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I've been asking myself for a while now. I remember when John Tavares left the Islanders, some made it seem like it was a monumental end of an era. And then the next year and the ones after that, they finally win a playoff round and make a bunch of conference finals without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I have been waiting for the Matthews and Marner core to show they can win a game like that since they got in the league. Now they have to do it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my fun watching them suffer at the hands of the Bruins, but now that the Bruins suck, I'd be happy to see the Leafs finally get over the hump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Leafs too, but it's just time they stopped farting around and won a big boy series for the first time. I really want Matthews and co to take that next step, but they choked to Montreal last year when they had that series by the throat, they couldn't beat the Blue Jackets in the five game bubble series, and they had a mental block against Boston. Something about them turns me into Stephen A Smith where they have good regular seasons, people pump them up all season, and I'm like "I WON'T TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY IN THE REGULAR SEASON UNTIL THEY WIN A PLAYOFF SERIES" and I don't like being that kind of a fan so I just want them to win one already. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they continue to wear these navy jerseys, McDavid and the Oilers deserve nothing but fire and ruin. Why Edmonton has ran it back 3 times with Mike Smith as their goalie is beyond me. The dude is useless in the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple years ago they thought they had a done deal for Markstrom, but Calgary swooped in at the last minute and signed him. I'm not sure if they called about Fleury, but he likely wouldn't have waived his no-trade clause to go there. Gibson should be a major target for them this offseason, but I don't know if they have the trade pieces Anaheim would be interested in. Maybe one of the Washington goalies would be more realistic. But it's the Oilers, so they'll probably just overpay for a guy like Jack Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 For reasons...I don't want to see John Tavares win a cup but if the Leafs are going to get eliminated from the playoffs this year it won't be this round.

DoctorWhom Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Maybe if a Tavares was there for Barry Trotz tenure they maybe win a cup, or at least make the Finals. And yeah, a part of me is kind of hoping the Leafs finally end their misery this year. As I said, they are serious dark horse, if they can beat Tampa, they can beat anyone. Still not the Canadian team I'd want to win the Cup though, I prefer it be Calgary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this, he was a shining light and a model professional on some awful teams, and left to join his boyhood team. I can't claim I wasn't sad about him leaving, but I was never angry. 2 Quote 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrySmalls Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The Caps have blown a 2-1 lead with minutes to go in Game 4 and a 3-0 lead after the first period in Game 5. I don't have high hopes for Game 6. It would be a miracle if they force a Game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
