Another first round exit for the Leafs? That sure would be nice!!!

I don't like rooting for the Bolts but this is an easy one! Tampa needs to reach down for one more big effort to send the Leafs packing again!!

Tampa in 7.

More than happy for a repeat of last year and this year we don't have to worry about Tampa winning a 3rd consecutive Cup.

When I go to my grave I still want that 19 consecutive playoff winning streak alive! Greatest team ever over a 5 year span. The 5 Cups in a row won by Montreal were only 10 series. Even Tampa was better with 11.

I was afraid you'd say that. Tampa seems vulnerable this year. I think the wear and tear has caught up to them.

They got one more series in them!

Or maybe the Leafs have one more choke in them!!

I'd rather see the choke. I hope Dangle is on youtube again.

Ya no bulletin board material here for Tampa lol

[mw147]

I moved this post from the Leafs thread to here as I think it pertains to the series.

Best coaches, best trainers, best doctors, best players. How do they ever lose a game? Should we skip the playoffs and just award the cup to the Leafs now???
