  • TRIGGER WARNING: The following video contains scenes that may cause horrible pain for Maple Leafs fans and/or vicarious joy for division rivals.
    I've been waiting for the right time to work on this vid. Now is finally the time. Come and witness over fifty years of failure, greed, strife, and ineptitude in all aspects of the team. Do I try to make a long explanation here? Of course not. The answer is to get right into it.
    I can only hope I did this justice.

    2024: "You're determined to show that last year was not a fluke and you have a chance to do it against the choking hazard that is your old nemesis in Boston."
    Game 1: Okay that was a painful start, just walk it off there are plenty of games left to play.
    Game 2: That's better, try to keep it up.
    Game 3: Or get beaten.
    Game 4: Make that go flaccid. Whelp season's over.
    Game 5: And like that you've... won? Is Boston choking?
    Game 6: They are, they had you on the ropes and now they're choking like only they can.
    Game 7: Oh dear, it's in BOSTON! But unlike in previous years, you're not the ones choking. Now go forth and slay that demon. Uh is anyone going to score? YES! You've done it you've scored and the way things are going you'll... let in a goal. That's not good. And just like that, Boston defeats you. How? They were in full-on choke mode! The only thing you've done in the last two decades is winning a playoff series against a team dying of old age and then got slapped down to earth by their angry cousin. And now when you have the chance to prove that every stereotype about you is wrong you can't get it done. Your season is over and all you've done is bloat the arrogance of Boston. Again.

    • @LBP15
      @LBP15 3 роки тому

      Viceregent of/du Canada I am not familiar with Columbus’ prospects or who is coming up the pipeline, but they need a lot of help up front. Dubois is really solid and Foudy looks great. Jenner and Foligno provide some veteran grit, but I think ideally those guys play further down your lineup. Atkinson is unreliable. 40 goals one year, 12 the next. The only player who didn’t register a shot in today’s game against Tampa. That’s right - for BOTH teams, the ONLY player who didn’t register a shot on goal was Cam Atkinson.
      Nyquist, Bjorkstrand, Nash, and the rest of their forwards are serviceable but unremarkable. They struggle to generate offence that isn’t the result of a point shot or a scramble. Again, look at the game today. It was tight, but Columbus had no business being in the game. Tampa Bay pulverized them. It was one of the more one-sided playoff games I can remember watching. Luckily for Columbus, Korpisalo is really dialled in right now. He looks excellent.
      All this to say they may remain a pesky team to play against, but without an injection of skill I don’t think they will be making a deep playoff run anytime soon. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure they’ll win the cup this year to make me look like an asshole lol

    2024: Well, here we go again. Matthews is coming off a regular season where he was in God Mode for the entirety, but team Defense is non-existent, and Samsonov and Woll have to transcend time and space just to keep leads intact. Mitch Mariner has stopped giving a fuck. That's the joke. And your Round 1 opponent is... Oh God.
    Round 1 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Games 1-4: Gee, who could have possibly seen this coming? /s The Leafs lack of a defense has come back to haunt them, as the offense sputters to a halt because unlike last year Jim Montgomery remembered Jeremy Swayman was a Vezina-caliber goaltender. Just do us all a favor and don't get our hopes up.
    Round 1 Games 5 & 6: Wait. You found a defense!? This is unprecedented. Okay, you have my attention. Now all you have to do is-

I do know some players were kind of upset their wife's and/or very young babies could not be there for the end of the series. There was a few who had family there too.

    2022-23 NHL Season
    Your team is once again an Atlantic Division juggernaut and a legitimate Cup contender. Despite a little bit of a down year from Auston Matthews, other guys stepped up, especially Mitch Marner, who finished the regular season one point shy of 100 points mark.
    You finished the regular season on the second place in the Atlantic Division with 111 points and were set to play the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round again. Good luck boys.
    2023 NHL PLAYOFFS ROUND 1
    Game 1:
    Well, that is not how you want to start the series against a team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals three times in a row. You got absolutely spanked by the Lightning who erupted for 4 power play goals in a 7-3 blowout win
    Game 2:
    Ok guys, you pulled an uno reverse card on the Lightning and beat the brakes off them with a 7-2 victory. However, Tampa stole the home-court advantage with the series heading to Florida.
    Game 3:
    Holy moly, what a game for the Leafs. Tampa played with the advantage throughout the game, but you made it to OT, thanks to Ryan O'Reilly's goal with one minute left in regulation and outstanding performance by Ilya Samsonov. However, I still do not think..wait a minute, you won after Morgan Rielly's goal? Well, ok, let's head into game 4
    Game 4:
    Well, this time you are not so lucky. Tampa is on the mission in this game. You are down three goals halfway through the third period. So, the series is back to Toronto with two games...WAIT, WHAT? You just scored three goals in seven minutes to tie the game? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And now we are headed to OT once again
    Game 4, Overtime:
    Holy crap, you did it. YOU DID IT AGAIN. Alex Kerfoot with a game-winner and the maple Leafs have a 3-1 series lead back to home ice. The Toronto Magic is here, now finish the Lightning off!
    Game 5:
    Well, we all knew that it is gonna happen, didn't we? The Leafs once again were down in the third period, tried to mount a dramatic comeback, but fell short because of the Tampa's bottom-6 performance and Andrei Vasilevski moving back to his prime form. Now series is headed back to Tampa for game 6.
    Game 6:
    Game 6 turns into an absolute slugfest. Neither team can score for more than half of the regulation time, but the Leafs are holding a 1-0 lead heading into the third period, thanks to Auston Matthews' one-timer. However, Tampa responds in third with a Stephen Stamkos' goal. And now we are going to OT. Again.
    Game 6, Overtime:
    Holy crap. HOLY COW. IT. HAPPENED. The Toronto Maple Leafs eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning and MADE IT PAST THE FIRST ROUND. John Tavares, the local kid and captain, became the hero in overtime! Steve Dangle and the fanbase finally have something to be happy about.
    So, now you have to face your ultimate boogieman: the Bru...OH MY GOD, THE BRUINS LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND AFTER BLOWING A 3 GAMES TO 1 SERIES LEAD TO THE FUCKING PANTHERS! 135 POINT SEASON ONLY TO LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND!
    So now the Leafs have to fact a mad dark horse team in Florida Panthers.
    2023 NHL PLAYOFFS ROUND 2:
    Game 1:
    You lose 2-4 to the Panthers in a back and forth showdown after coming back from 0-2 deficit. Better be ready for game 2.
    Game 2:
    Ok, you start the game very well and up two nothing at the beginning of the first period... Only to give up three goals after that. The Leafs have almost entire two periods to score, but unable to do so because of Panthers' mature playing and Sergei Bobrovskiy moving back to his Vezina form for a second game in a row. You are down 0-2 in the series and in a big trouble, cause now series is heading to South Florida.
    Game 3:
    Well, your season is pretty much over. Panthers won game 3 by the score 3-2 in overtime, despite not leading for a single second before the game-winner by Sam Reinhart. All you have to defend now is your pride, cause if the Leafs made it to the second round only to get swept, that would be hilarious.
    Game 4:
    Well, ok, you avoided a sweep by winning game 4 on the road with a 2-1 score, thanks to goals by Nylander and Marner. Now, you are flying back home, good luck in game 5.
    Game 5:
    No, there will be no miracles for the Maple Leafs this year. You mounted a comeback after being down two goals and forced OT only to fall there, thanks to Nick Cousins' game-winner. The fanbase is sad once again.
    At least, this playoffs is better than everything you have produced for the last 19 years. Better luck next year.
    2022-23 NHL Season: Debriefing
    At least, the Leafs' fans have hope and not just misery after the playoffs. The Blue And White Brigade finally made it to the second round, so there is hope that cup drought would finally end. However, some major changes may take place in the offseason, especially at the head coach position.
    Well, yeah, Kyle Dubas is gone.
