Yup same here... Earliest I can trace back to following Leafs is 1969 for me.. I was born in 70. The closest I have seen the leafs get is the Gilmour/Gretzky conference finals fiasco in 94. I've hated Gretzky since that day. Special treatment |

I really haven't been able to get into the post season this year. I listened to Sharks/Kings Game 2 (Sharks) Radio Broadcast and Sharks won, but then didn't listen again until I think it was game 5 when the Sharks lost again.
I'm with you guys on Laine. There is just something about him that bugs me.
As for the LV Knights, I don't care what players they are made up of, I just don't want them to win the Cup. I am hoping for TBay to win the Cup even though I don't think the NHL should be in a tropical state. But if TBay loses to the Caps, NO WAY do I want the Caps to win the Cup. At that point I will want whoever comes out of the west to win it, even if it turns out to be the Knights.

So here we go. LGK versus the Caps. Is rooting for some sort of disruption like a player strike cancelling the cup final an option?  I hope the Caps win only because if Vegas can start up an win in year 1, I feel it it belittles all of my unbending leafs support and suffering for the past 48 years. |

I am not a fan of either team.. Never for a minute like Ovi.. Great talent but not my kind of guy...... Got no attachment of Vegas either.. First time I can remember I don't care who wins a final and may not watch much

Marc Andre Fleury goes for 3 in a row, so I guess I'm kinda sorta rooting for Vegas.
Best expansion year 1 vs worst expansion year 1

First time I can remember I don't care who wins a final and may not watch much I'm not a fan of either team, but I'm mean. I detest Ovechkin so much I am hoping Vegas wins the Cup. I guess that makes me pretty bad wanting a team to lose just because of one player. I am what I am, so I will just be mean and root for Vegas  and hope they beat the Caps. |

lots of offense last night.. Vegas just doesn't quit... I cannot see them losing this series.. I have doubted them all year but that is over..
PS I hope the Leafs don't shell out a lot of money for John Carlson

Call me jealous but I don't think a first year expansion team deserves the Cup. Never been a Caps fans but I would rather them win than the Knights. Trouble is this Vegas team is the real deal...not sure the Caps have the horses to beat them. Go Caps.

I don't like the idea of a first year expansion team winning the Cup either, but I'm sticking with my guns. I detest Ovechkin and don't want him to win the Cup, so I will still root for the Knights to win the Cup.

Caps were really good in Game 3. All three games have been a war. Big, big hits and lots of bad blood. TBH the Leafs aren't even close to the caliber of hockey these two teams are playing. Speed and talent can only get you so far. Size, grit,guts and determination still rule the day.

I've barely watched the series. I truly have no interest.. Not one bit of this finals excites me. Looks like Vegas has finally hit a wall and Ovie finally gets his Cup.. just end it in 5 so the off season chaos starts

I normally don't watch it much either but this has been an intense series. It's been a war. The Leafs still need to find big players who like to play in big games. It's been a fun series to watch.

It's over.
Love him or hate him, you have to acknowledge Ovy's passion for the game.
Thank god Vegas lost. After 48 years of bleeding blue and white with no cups, I'm not sure I could have continued if Vegas was handed a cup in their first year.
My faith in the NHL is restored.

Agree bwf. Not an Ovi fan but I must say he looked pretty happy. I feel kinda sorry for players who never get a sniff of a good Cup run. Ovi played real hard.
