Jake and Giroux have a habit of disappearing during the playoffs .... These are the same playoffs the Leafs didn't even make last season. You can't fluke your way into a conference final. The Flyers have a good team in a great division. In the NHL, you're never as GOOD or as BAD as you appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped the playoffs off the moment Toronto got eliminated.... which technically wasn't even the real playoffs! Once Toronto is out, the sun at the center of the hockey universe stops shining lol.

Well, crap....that explains why the NHL has been in darkness for so long. Good thing we have had some good halogen lamps in Tampa, St. Louis, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, etc to keep us from stumbling and hurting our feet in the dark. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's understandable. You don't have a lot of familiarity with the playoffs. Edited March 28, 2021 by radoran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, who even won the Cup last year? Did they even bother to finish the playoffs without any fans watching? 10 hours ago, radoran said: If there's a Stanley Cup at the center of the universe, Tronno is the planet furthest from it. The Stanley Cup resides permanently in Toronto. We just "lend" it out for a few months during the playoffs to another team so their fans can see it too. We could always grab borrow it and have a parade through downtown Tronno just to celebrate hockey. What a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we've been doing nothing but winning since the new front office staff took over (Shanahan and Dubas) so you really can't poke fun at success. (No Stanley Cups mind you, but at least regular season success and the chance to do more in the playoffs.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 10 years I don't know if I've ever seen a more inept Flyer team in the long long long time I've been watching them. They have won a measly TWO playoff rounds in an entire decade...which is embarassing. It's also TWO MORE than the "winning" Leafs have won in that span.

It is certainly the longest stretch I have seen and I have been watch since 90-91. There have been some bad seasons. But nothing it seems as fruitless as the last decade. And when do they come out of this fog? I can't say I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has never been an inept Flyers team in the franchise's history, so you have no basis for comparison. 4 hours ago, flyercanuck said: They have won a measly TWO playoff rounds in an entire decade...which is embarassing. Some teams don't even make the playoffs for an entire decade lol. 4 hours ago, flyercanuck said: It's also TWO MORE than the "winning" Leafs have won in that span. As mentioned previously, the Leafs are making the playoffs now. That's a major departure from what the team was doing before the current management group took over. Flyers fans are accustomed to watching a .600 team. Leafs fans are accustomed to watching a .400 team. Since the franchise's inception, how many times have the Flyers made the playoffs? I'm going to GUESS ~40 times in ~50 years. Toronto has probably made the playoffs about 20 times in the past 50 years. Maybe not even that much. By Leafs standards, the team we have now is the best Leafs team since 1992-93. By Flyers standards, the team you had last year was the best you've had in..... a year or two. Different standards for different sports teams. You can't hold the Leafs to the same standard as the Flyers. That's not fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
