2021-2022 NHL Thread

I personally don't think any Leafs fan should complain about a tough matchup in round one.  We had a Royal Road To The Finals Paved In Solid Gold With Tinsel And Unicorns All Along The Way last year and instead decided to take a left turn into the ditch.

This would be just like the Leafs, blow the easy path to the finals in one year only to beat Tampa, Florida, Carolina and Colorado to win the Cup this year

Thanks ZBBM for the true laugh out loud.... ;D

Lol Vegas

But I do feel bad for their backup goalie who was thrust into the high stakes spotlight and had to shoulder an immense load of expectations created by rather foolish mismanagement.

Arizona?s win also solidified Montreal?s hold on dead last in the league.

In local parlance, I believe that's what's known as "crapping out".

Giving them the honour of being the first NHL team to finish 32nd overall.

Are they also the only team to make it to the cup finals and then finish dead last the next year? Has that happened before? I don?t feel like going year but year to check

Carolina did it in 2003 after losing the Cup in 2002.

Ahh dammit. Not as funny anymore.

Of last season's semi-finalists, only Tampa remains in playoff contention this season.

Still a nice accomplishment to do it twice!

So both teams that did this in the modern era of the NHL eliminated the Leafs in their playoff runs lol.

That?s funny that tsn and sportsnet both posted this.

I love how most responses are leafs based. In a post clearly not about the leafs.

And the rest of Canada whines about us getting to much attention.

Tampa losing, Boston winning. Comes down to tomorrows games. We could still face Boston
