ParticipantIf they played better defense in Game 3 (which is what you get if you remove Tavares and Rielly and replace them with two-way 2C and 3C) they can win that game and the series.
They won 3 games. No matter how you want to describe it, they were closer than anybody else. And now they just blew it away.Yes, I can agree with this, but if Florida played better in the first two games the result can be different either.
There is a huge difference between to take team to game 7 and win the series, but Leafs had the chance in game 3 and they blew it.
It is possible they could win the whole series if it did not happen, but not guaranteed of course, knowing how Florida playing in elimination games.Well if Florida could play better, so could the Leafs. It goes both ways. The Leafs won the first two games because they played confident and executed on the PP.
This team is taking a huge step back and won’t have what it takes to take steps forward. UFAs won’t save them. They never have before, they probably never will.

ParticipantThere are multiple factors why players may take less money and no state tax is the only one of them.
The owner doesn’t own any casinos but he does have vineyards… free wine is coming Mitch’s way lol

ParticipantYes, that is precisely what /s means.
But to answer your question, the Oilers made it to back to back Cup Finals because they’re in the shittiest division in the shittiest conference in the league. They also have two of the most clutch players in history, so he could bring that to Toronto and drag us there too.
Hard to go deep in the playoffs when you’re in a division with literal dynasties like Tampa and Florida. Our burden to bear.
Vegas and LA in that division is not that weak of a division.
Pretty sure if one had to bet, it’s that McDavid is tired of carrying the entire team on his back. If he leaves the Oilers, Vegas makes a lot of sense and he won’t have to do EVERYTHING by himself. He had great chemistry on that OT winner for Canada with Marner.

This team is taking a huge step back and won’t have what it takes to take steps forward. UFAs won’t save them. They never have before, they probably never will.I remember the first two games, Bob let in all pucks were directed to net.
The Leafs could play better in game 5 and 7, but I doubt result would be different.
The next year the gap between these two team will be get even bigger, I agree with this.
For Leafs it is not enough to get better, but they need Florida become worse, which may not happen to my sorry.June 30, 2025 at 5:59 pm #13940Unholy_Goalie
ParticipantMarner isn’t the solution, he’s been part of the problem.
You’re very, very wrong about that. Involved in all 3 GWG vs Florida and defensively held the 1st line in check. That’s a fact.

They could become tired. Complacent. Injured. Bob is 37. If the Leafs made the right choices, they could take advantage of all those factors.

Participant$12M x 8 isn’t bad. Maybe renege on the trade and keep Marner, lol.
Maybe when Toronto doesn’t have an insane tax rate, that could happen.
Ontario has a good tax rate for millionaires.
Marner just cant handle Toronto.
Hes a little bitch.June 30, 2025 at 6:06 pm #13945Unholy_Goalie

Replace Tavares with Jenner and McBain. Replace Rielly with Myers. That’s a better DNA change than this bullshit they’re trying to pull now.

Hes a little bitch.Wrong. Literally the worst in the NHL, except NYR but most of those guys get around it by living in Jersey anyway.

He’s got enough whine.

Participantgood riddance Marndog. Will be sad to miss the “quit crying bro” and the bench fly-by “wake the fuck up!” with bone-dry hair and not a drop of sweat on him. Fuck him. Paul probably wanted him there to spend his son’s money at the blackjack tables.

Participant
He’s got enough whine.So I’m just browsing Amazon just to see some “starting prices” and I see some blue, leafs, Mitch Marner socks are on for $24.99.
