2016-2017 NHL Discussion Thread [Archived] Hockey • Page 342

Seriously, like, why do the Leafs always have to fuck up in the most spectacular way possible?

I can't wait to hear about all the crazy shenanigans we get ourselves into tomorrow.

Edit: Apparently Kapanen just tied it up. Still not watching these fucks though.

 

Kadri makes it 4-3.

Still not watching.

 

this game is everything

 

PLAYOFFSSSSSSSS

 

Matthews gets 40th goal and Leafs manages to make up for a screw up and make the playoffs.

What a roller coaster of emotion.

 

@CarpetElf EAT A MILLION DICKS FUCKFACE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

BRING ON THE HAWKS

 

The flames AHL team versus the Sharks AHL team.

 

Toronto slides into third in the Atlantic and plays Ottawa regardless now and Boston stuck at WC2 even with a Leafs lose in regulation tomorrow, right?

 

This game was scripted as a motherfucker.

Kapanen scores his 1st NHL goal to tie it against his former club
After the own-goal, Gardiner sets up the game winner
Game-winning, and playoff-clinching goal is scored by a Toronto native in Connor Brown (also his 20th)
Matthews scores his 40th with 3.4 seconds left
And most notably: Leafs were eliminated from playoff contention in 2006 by Tampa Bay, and in 2007 by the Islanders. Tonight we eliminate them both at once

Isn't that all so fun?

Boston has the tiebreaker, so we need a point tomorrow to stay out of the WC.

 

Nope... TOR needs 1 point to play OTT since BOS has the ROW clincher over TOR.

 

TOR/OTT and WAS/BOS are so much better series' than WAS/TOR and OTT/BOS. Please get 1 point tomorrow, TOR.

 

Looks like my Oberyn/Clegane analogy failed after all. Though it still applies in a way because we lost our starting goalie to, of all things, a head injury.

Have I mentioned how fun this all is?

 

It only took injuries to two entire lines throughout most of the season for the Leafs to get in instead of the Bolts. Mosel tov.

(But good luck cause your team sucks the least out of the rest in there)

 

You didn't quote the edit you shitass.

 

lol

Well then, I want to reiterate my initial statement, but with a different tone. Think of them as compensatory dicks in which to hedonistically indulge in the hopes they lift your spirits in these darker times.

 

Many thanks.

 

I wasn't going to complain about this game because it's basically the Sharks AHL team playing.

but like Michael Haley has taken two awful penalties in the first period and I swear Deboer better bench him for the playoffs.

 

If I had to hazard a guess as to who the posters here dislike most on their respective teams:

Sharks: Haley
Hawks: Seabrook (based on contract+performance)/TVR (performance)
Bs: McQuaid
Leafs: Polak
Rags: Glass

 

Add lehtera to this list for the blues for me.

 

I just checked his stats and couldn't believe he only has 7 goals this year, doesn't he center Tarasenko?

 

Ducks: Bieksa

 

Haha For the majority of the time he has. Once hitch got canned Yeo finally put Stastny with him. He's seriously so bad.

 

Zach "I literally lack the dexterity to successfully chip the puck off the boards without accidentally shooting it into the bench" Hyman is my most-hated Leaf by fucking trillions of lightyears.

Like... I'm not even sure who's a better puck-handler between him and Polak. He's truly that bad. But in fairness, I mostly hate him because of his role - if he was used as a 4th liner, I'd be okay with him. He's basically the hockey equivalent of Donald Trump. If Trump was a garbage man, nobody would take any real issue with him. But as President.......... extra fucking hard pass.
