They’ve been gifted first round draft picks for losing consistently. just reading on reddit nhl, the thinking is former oiler gm made a mess in Boston, and then did the same in Edmonton. some of the leafs jokes at reddit nhl are pretty funny.

May 31, 20214 yr comment_505903 game 6 of the #habs-#leafs series on Saturday was Sportsnet's most-watched Stanley Cup Playoff game ever, drawing an average audience of 4.7 million. It reached 10.2-million Canadians overall. Edited May 31, 20214 yr by Mark F

May 31, 20214 yr comment_505949 Haven't been around much. Spending a lot of time on HF Boards, these days. Fascinating stuff, at times.... But I expect the fresher Jets to just run the 4 lines and jump all over whichever team shows up.

May 31, 20214 yr comment_505969 LOL did Craig Simpson just say that Hayley Wickenheiser wishes she could be on the ice right now? Seriously? She would get destroyed in two minutes out there. Like seriously injured for life. What the heck.... Coach Says Men are Better Than Women - YouTube

June 1, 20214 yr comment_505979 I wonder what CBC Sportsnet and TSN will do when the Laffs lose this series. This was Torontos year. Cassie will complain about lack of powerplay for TO Bieksa will complain that Toronto was tired due to the traveling between cities MacLean will just openly weep.
June 1, 20214 yr comment_505983 Wonder if there will be any blowback on Soupy Campbell. That opening goal was pretty weak by modern standards. Five hole should be closed.
June 1, 20214 yr comment_505985 So my brother lives in Toronto but is still a Jets fan. He tells me that Leafs’ fans hate the Nylander contract and think he should have been let go so they could build around M and M. Yet he showed up in the playoffs, and the Rocket Richard winner had one goal, one more than Marner did. And the Joe Thornton channels Eay Boutique moment never happened. Watching Carey Price in the post game. He seems bored. He is the biggest threat to the Jets in round 2.
June 1, 20214 yr comment_505987 Based on respective winning percentages, this is the 3rd biggest upset ever in the big 3 sports (football doesn’t count) for a favoured team blowing a 3-1 series lead in a 7 game series. Toronto was .161 percentage points better than Montreal. The only bigger gap on hockey was when the 2010 Canadiens came back from down 1-3 to beat the President’s Trophy winning and perennial 3-1 chokers Washington, who were .201 better in winning percentage. In basketball, in 1995 Houston was .147 worse than Phoenix and trailed 3-1 before storming back to win, and even worse was Golden State and their best ever regular season being .195 better and up 3-1 on the Cavaliers in the NBA Final in 2016 before LeBron took over and finally won a title for Cleveland. In baseball, because of limited playoff spots, no such extreme gaps in winning percentage exist, but the 1985 Royals twice came back from 3-1 down both in the ALCS against the Blue Jays, who were .053 better, and then St. Louis, who were .061 better, for the biggest upsets ever in that situation in baseball.
