Except that the Oilers didn’t lie down and roll over in the game they lost 6-1 the way the Leafs did. Twice. The Oilers actually showed some pride.
~fifty
A lot of good that did them. So, the Oilers are leading the series in moral victories?!?
– WhipperIf the Leafs showed that jam at least there wouldn’t be jerseys thrown on the ice. I can cheer for a team that gives it’s all and has some sack. The Leafs did not deserve their fans support in game 5 and 7.

Props to the Oilers. Florida may be the better team but Edmonton to a man is not going down without a fight.
Bennett gets away with shooting Ekholms stick away. Of course.
It’s hard not to wonder what impact Corey Perry might have had on the Leafs had Dubas/Shanahan signed him all those years ago instead of Wayne Simmods. He is a p.o.s. too like Bennett and Marchand….but you need those players to win.
Our management has made so many errors in this era. ????
They’ve had nine years to mix and match this core. The combinations don’t matter – these players simply do not elevate. It’s a personality and character thing, not a talent and chemistry thing.
It may not matter if we “change the DNA” around our core players because our core players simply do not elevate their game the way they do on Florida and Edmonton.
How many shifts do you think Maurice matches 3C Lindell on McJesus? I’m betting ZERO. It’ll be all Barkov. Just remember that Maurice did match Lindell against Matthews and he was able to shut his ass down.
When your stars cannot dominate another team’s 3rd line, you’re simply not winning.
Bennett gets away with everything. And of course Marchand scores on the PP that shouldn’t have happened.
