This thread is over 10 years old. Think about it, this started well before the Kessel trade.......the first one.

At the beginning of the thread it was mentioned the Leafs were in a better position for a rebuild. Fair enough, but the Sens were less than two seasons from a SCF appearance. Since then, only one of those teams has even won a playoff series.

That same team now has 3 1st round draft picks upcoming, quite possibly 2 in the top 5. It seems to me that's a fairly quick turnaround, despite the multitude of high priced stars in Toronto that have yet to win a series.

For all the laughing you do at the expense of the Senators, they can really kick some ass in this draft alone.

Wow, now that you put it that way, the sens will be in for a five-year run of unparalleled success..

what could go wrong

we could lose in the first round every year....usually to the same team.

that would (frank)ing suck

Were you a sens fan before the 05 lockout?

Sure, wasn’t always in the forst round though. Do you remember, WAAAYYYYYY back then, when leaf teams sometimes made it to round 2.

I realize it was a long time ago, you might not realize what round 2 even means......and you certainly don’t remember what round 3 means (you probably weren’t alive the last time the mighty leafs made it that far).

That we are......not a good one, but a team none the less.

oh I see. So getting smoked by the same team over and over is no biggie, depending on the round?

got it champ.

I don’t know.......you have much more recent experience, you tell me.

Although, I suppose all you really have to base your opinion on is 1st round defeats, kind of hard to ask you to explain how you feel when your team loses in the 2nd rd.........they’d actually have to make the 2nd rd more than once every couple of decades.

Well we haven't gotten beat THREE times yet in the first round, by the same team, like the sens lost, in the first round, THREE times to the same team, including a sweep (another things the Leafs have not embarassingly done yet).

Plus a fourth loss in the second round.

Let's face it, your Walmart recruit a$$ was pretty stupid to bring up losing to the same team in the first round many times.

Haha, check your facts again and get back to me about the leafs not losing 3 times in the first round to the same team.

Oh, and to your point about not bringing up losing to the same team........let me know when you have something to troll about that doesn’t involve teams whose entire rosters aren’t already retired.

Maybe I’ll go back a few decades too, I’m sure the leafs lost to the habs in the playoffs like 12 times in a row back in the 70s & 80s

Just for fun though, answer me these questions......

Since the 05 lockout, how many rounds have the leafs won in the postseason?

In that same time frame, how many teams have won less rounds than the leafs

In the HISTORY of the NHL, how many teams have lost to an AHL zamboni driver in his mid 40s

I’m just curious about the stats on this......let me know

Haha, check your facts again and get back to me about the leafs not losing 3 times in the first round to the same team.

okay? Unless youre going to try to say same team..... 3 times in seven years? Not quite the same as 3 times in 4 years, especially when the walmart recruit idiot starts with "every year".....

You’re right, that makes it soooo much better.

What’s going to happen this spring when you’re eliminated in the 1st rd for the 4th year in a row?

Aren't the sens already eliminated, for the 4th year in a row?

Was that like, opening night?

I mean, your owner pretty much has you eliminated for the next 5 years too.

if anyone with epilepsy comes in here and starts scrolling, these images are going to give them fits.

Even reading back, I see one question - what will happen if they lose in the first round again? Probably a trade or two to shore up the defense in the offseason. I suspect there will be one anyway. I've said since the beginning of the year this year I don't suspect a step forward from the Leafs, they needed this year to take care of salary cap issues. I don't see any others.

So, same question for the sens. If they miss the playoffs again, for the next 5 years, as it looks like they will, what will they do after all these playoff misses?
