Thee Official 2023-24 Playoffs Thread: Stop fucking crying bro, it’s not junior

hopefully the good version of Samsanov shows up, if the Leafs lose this series the blame is squarely on the special teams more than goaltending

Whoever Boston isn't playing in net should play for us. In Rec leagues everyone wants the game to be good and close. Be a man. Both of your goalies deserve to play. Do the right thing.

Good post

How is it still 10 minutes from puck drop? Practice are you staying up?

[trucuschenn]

it's criminal to do the 8pm start + super late puck drop

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Does not seem like holding will be called tonight

yup (1:22am puck drop here )

Choosing to believe Max Domi told Auston he could play as long as Max Domi (he referred to himself in the third person) is still 1C

if he's lower in the lineup he's Min Domi

Knies is so fucking sick

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Knies looks great again

[Grand Moff Larkin]

“It’s the playoffs, there’s no tie, Domi”

[trucuschenn]

itfelt like he was slowing down over the course of the season a bit(understandably it was a way bigger workload than he had ever had before) but he's using his big body effectively in this series

Sheev's not going to like that

[trucuschenn]

in the previous games I generally didn't get too nervous until someone scored, this time is different, having like 2 hours after the Jays game to basically just putter around and not do anything didn't help

[practice]

Marner just lets Marchand totally off the hook there. yikes

[linseman]

although they are basically equivalent on aggregate, having samsonov in net seems way more anxiety-inducing
