Wow. Good rant, shack. Thanks for proving my points. At least you're consistent. :ROFLMAO: I think maybe it's you who should lighten up and calm down a bit, 'dude'.
The only thing you've proved is that you don't like me.

I proved that I can predict your responses.

That's quite a persecution complex you've got going on there. Did you ever stop to consider it's the things you say and how you say them that people don't like? Food for thought...

As I said, I'm not concerned about the opinions of the TERBplorables or the poorly educated.
I get along quite well with the vast majority.

Be careful. It might fall off because it's obviously not screwed on too tight. LOL.

I made a specific, single prediction as to how you'd react and you nailed it. It's now a fact, not an opinion, and it is there for all to objectively see. I only had to prove one thing. Thanks for your (predictable) contribution.

Trying to psychoanalyze my entire persona based on TERB posts is an impossibility. It's an overreach of your personal opinion. No facts were established. You need to be more selective.

Here's a novel concept - Instead of being a perpetual Leafs apologist, why not just admit the Leafs did their very best to win but were badly out-coached and out-played by a less talented team, and leave it at that. It's been the story of the Leafs for years, and everyone knows it.
This game was just like their last 3 games of the playoffs.
Not seeing anything different.

A couple of quotes from my other board.

1)"If you had solicited criticisms of the Toronto Maple Leafs over the past few seasons -- and you didn’t always have to solicit them to come across them -- they would’ve centred around two issues. Some thought they didn’t defend well enough and others thought they lacked grit"

2) "xxxxx mentioned that passes out of the D-zone have been lacking, and that lack of transition speed has been evident. I think it’s fair to wonder if the concept of being a talented team that wants to maintain possession is a good idea on paper, but maybe not in practice without a thoroughly elite lineup. You remember Mike Babcock’s obsession with “playing fast,” which was just moving the puck up as fast as you can, then getting it in and going after it. He just wanted to play at the other team’s end of the rink. The lack of north/south play this year has at times left me saying “move it” more than I recall in previous years. There’s a balance to be struck between the two competing schools of thought."

This is Jack Campbell's 11 professional season and it's his first season of being a #1 for an NHL team...he's done a great job...but...he still has some proving to do.
He did a great job until the Xmas break. But since Dec 1st, 2021 the Leafs are actually one of the worst teams in the NHL in 5 on 5 save percentage.

Wow, what an important game that was...again, let’s have a parade.
You're just like the Leafs players - they don't seem to understand that every game in the NHL is important either.
Interesting observation today from Mark Sheig of The Hockey Writers: 'Given the state of the playoff race, every point is important for the Maple Leafs. These lost points could cost them home-ice advantage later in the playoffs. Campbell is normally a source of strength. But not as of late. And it’s starting to catch up to the Maple Leafs.'

Muzzin placed on LTIR, $5.625M free up in cap space, now what can Dubas get. I suspect Muzzin won't return until the playoffs.

They should just do the Kucherov thing with Muzzin.
With that they could get another Muzzin to play with Muzzin

They've won 3 in a row...now they are only 10 points out of 2nd last in the conference and 33 points out of a playoff spot...let's have a parade!
I think it's 4 in a row now. Idiots!!! They're going to play themselves out of the first overall pick.

Great win tonight - nice to see AM34 net a few and more importantly PM35 played great between the pipes.

Jack Campbell was just terrible tonight.

Some of the worse NHL goaltending you’ll see...all 4 of them were dog shit.

I was going to turn it off after Marner scored his hat trick.
