And yes, the leafs lost because they didnt have a 2c because it was scoring that let them down.
Not defence. Not some big slow shot blocker who cant defend.
Also lol plus minus. If you're using plus minus i know im wasting my time</div></div>

Yeah your right, I can't get them right, Dermott still isn't on the team.... lol... you're wasting someone's time... I hope you watched the game last night... the one where our D couldn't box out or block a shot... let me guess, 'offence just dried up, and their goalie played out of their mind'. Just hit replay on your DVR from last spring if you're curious how these playoffs will go without addressing their biggest need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>they really arnt, good defensive players are the biggest deterrent. last year it was losing their 2C, matthews wrist and Marner losing his brain along with carey price going bananas that stopped them, they obliterated the habs in shots and chances against, especially from the high danger area that is supposedly guarded by those big slow defenders. The previous year was much of the same, but not as extreme, both columbus goalies hit numbers they have yet to even get close to again.
and the leafs adding a big slow defender has never helped them win a series. They've had Bogosian, Polak, Hainsey, Ceci, Marincin etc etc etc and it's never helped</div></div>
you missed the sarcasm on the 'big, slow' part. The leafs didn't lose because they lost their 2C. They lost because they were up 3-1 (despite losing their 2C) and had two incredibly idiotic plays by two D still on this team give up the puck making plays they shouldn't have been making. If you look at either of these two D men, they're both incredible shot blockers, take on the worst matchups, play with some nasty and show well. Now you don't have to worry about Muzzin going down and we certainly don't have to watch Holl and Timmy botch play after play at the other teams blue line.

The fact you called Hainsy out speaks to what you missed (that he was our best Dman in those playoffs). He was so awful he went to Ottawa, who was a dumpster fire and STILL finished with a +/- above zero. I bet you were sad to see Barrie go too?
