Pretty decent tilt here, on Saturday night. Ottenger just made an outstanding save to keep it at 1’s. Desperate hockey at both ends of the ice. Prediction: Next goal will win this series.
I’ve decided to just leave the “Buzz” for now and probably forever. When I received a stupid ban that made no sense, for 1 month, I decided to move here for good. I’ve always enjoyed Mike’s blogs and his podcast opinions. I have nothing personal against Fred Johnson(EK). It just lost its way and nothing was done to correct their issues. The banning of multiple person’s for next to nothing, no warnings, just banhammer. Dumb, and now the price must be paid.
No riots during Toronto victory parades. Only day time shootings.
A reduction of Car-jackings in Brampton. They’re all in the “6′ doing it there.
Right now, this is the best team that they’ve had in over 20 years. Next year, they’ll probably step back somewhat. The Defense will be the same, as will the goaltenders, but Patches will probably retire and Marner will move on because he’ll want too much. JT will be another year older and he’ll need a new contract, as will Knies. Not enough money to go around. They could retool by letting Marner and Rielly go, picking up assets via free agency, but the chemistry will change. Now is the time to take your shot at the Stanley Cup. Just score 1 more than Florida, tomorrow night and it opens up possibilities. Just know, only 6 teams are left that can win the Cup. In a couple of days, it’s down to 4.
Looking at game 7, know that we can eliminate the Stanly Cup Champions, on home ice. It’s why Berube pushed them so hard during the last week of the schedule. Getting home ice and having the ability to have last change is crucial. Keefe never understood this and rested players, down the stretch. It’s why we ended up with a game 7 in Boston last season. If we prevail, it will be a major step forward. To play Carolina with Home Ice would be an opportunity to make it to the finals. I’ll go out on a limb here and say Dallas will defeat Winnipeg and if so, the Leafs have Home Ice for the rest of the playoffs. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but the games will be closer and small variances like penalty killing and powerplays will become magnified. Just score one more goal than Florida, tomorrow night, and it’ll be go time!
Time to bring the blue Karma on Sunday. I wonder if all of those people who burned their jersey’s are having second thoughts?
I’m not missing the Buzz. Haven’t gone there in 4 days. This is now home for Leafs Nation. Time to get out the word.
Yes, I’d take game 7 having Home Ice, if looking at it at the start of the series. Florida are the Champions and you know that they’ll come out on fire, in Game 7. If we are tied after 1, there’s a distinct possibility that we can take this series. I’m guessing that Florida is hiding a lot of injuries to key players too. Barkov seems to be a little banged up and some of their bottom 6 seem a bit beat up too.
Time for Tavares, Nylander or another top-six forward to win a game. Or…*gasp* a bottom-six player score a goal.
Or a defenseman. Rielly? Wake up time.
Somebody new has to step up in Game 7.
Woll already stole a game, can’t expect him to pitch another SO.
I feel that our unseen hero might be Laughton. He’s been around the puck and has played doggedly throughout the playoffs. He hasn’t been rewarded, so the hockey Gods may grant the opportunity to do the unthinkable and dispatch Florida in game 7.
OK, now I have to do it. I’ve not done it for years, but the ’67 Jersey is coming out of the closet. Going to the Akwesasne Casino and Resort for the long weekend. The Jersey’s going with me and I’ll watch the game at the Sports Bar at the resort on Sunday night. Hoping for the almost impossible result. Let’s see if that does the trick. Anyone else going to do something out of the ordinary to get some Blue & White Karma building?
By the way, a great, unexpected effort by the boys tonight. I expected it to be close, but see the usual happen. A late goal and lose either in overtime or in the last minute. We get to cheer one more time. At least it’s at home.
