Time for a repeat of game 1.

I try not to look at incidents from more than a season or so ago when evaluating, as standards shift so much. By current standards, Mikkola only getting a fine is the right punishment.

I’m okay with Mikkola only getting a fine. The in-game punishment for that felt sufficient. Ekblad should be getting an in-person hearing, though. I initially expected he’d only get a couple games, but the more I watch it, the worse it looks. He doesn’t even try to throw a hit. He just gives...

Everyone loves to get on the Leafs' for their failures, but no one seems to mention the fact that the Jets haven't followed up a playoff loss with a win since the 2020 qualification round. 11 straight opportunities to bounce back from a loss have failed.

Yeah. One under normal circumstances, sure. Should be an extra game given it was almost certainly delivered with a degree of vengeance.

I found a surprising number of teams with sweeps that lost in the finals in the last 10 years. I think I counted 6

One less than great game really skews the numbers this early in the post season.

I expect anyone on the roster who is eligible and healthy to be brought up soon. Steeves, Murray, Rifai, Benning, etc.

Given the way things have played out there over the last year, I think having him extended like this would scare away more talented players and coaches than having him as a lame duck would.

The people freaking out are massively over-reacting. Teams up 3-0 lose the 4th game a lot. Just looking at the last couple years: 2024: 5 teams went up 3-0, 3 lost game 4 2023: 2 teams went up 3-0, both lost game 4 Basically, sweeps are hard. Getting the 4th win in any series is the most...

Feels like this is probably two seasons late.

The proportion of teams that eliminated the Leafs and went on to the Cup final is absurdly high. Very few didn’t at least win their next round.

And it’s pretty common for the other team to push it to 5. No real concern yet.

Would have been nice to have Ottawa be the only playoff team to not earn a win, but the 4th one is the hardest. Will see heavier effort to start on Tuesday.

Oof

Elbow from Zub

Felt that one coming

As much as not winning this game isn’t the end of the world, gotta have a better effort than this 3rd period.

Knies beast mode

That’s should calm them down some.
