I really feel for Toronto fans right now. I genuinely feel bad for them.

At least it wasn’t a flukey bounce. Was a pretty goal by Pasternak 

Took a fairly flukey bounce to get the opportunity, but he took full advantage of it.

They're my Yankees. I don't think I can feel bad for them.

Leafs, Yankees, and Cowboys. No empathy.

Have to admit the sadistic side of my brain and my merciful side were duelling it out during the OT intermission.  Can’t say I’m sad about the outcome though, but man, how much crushing losses can one fan base take.

I felt a twinge of empathy going into OT but knew full well I would regret showing any compassion if the Leafs ended up scoring.

just imagine how unbeliveably obnoxious they would be if they won.

Exactly.  I’d throw them a bone with a playoff series win now and then, but I’m terrified of what would happen if they went on a run. So better just to kill them off early.

They’re like Red Sox fans before 2004. I would hate to see them become like Red Sox fans after 2004.

Since 1967, the Yankees have played in 11 World Series, winning 7 of them. They have 20 regular season division titles since 1967.. 
Since 1967, the Leafs have played in 0 Stanley Cup Finals. They have 2 regular season division titles since 1967 (even the Lions have 4).

Game 1 is scheduled to be in Boston is Friday.  Tim McGraw has a concert Friday night at TD garden.  See how that plays out. 

[Hongbit]

The Cowboys are a better comp for Leafs than the Yankees.

theyre the most popular team in canada and also the most hated.  they have the biggest budget.  they are all the canadian media ever talk about and are constantly the focus of reporting.  their players live in a fishbowl.  they are overrated every year by their kiss ass media in toronto, the same media that dominate the sport's coverage so its all they talk about.

and the one team that actually did win all the time - the one team that can rival the yankees for sustained success - is in a market that speaks a different language than the rest of the country: montreal.

I see Marner getting his rightful blame but man Samsonov parking his ass on the goalline and watching the puck squirt into the slot with Rielly looking on too....a lot of blame to go around on that goal woof.

 

 

What a thing for him to say, even if you're thinking it keep it to yourself because uh.... isn't that on you?  I can't believe some team is going to probably hire this fool right away.
