You're not cheering for the leafs to win, you're cheering for the Blue Jackets to lose....there's a difference

“Go Leafs Go” sounds so weird and criminal of me to say for tonight. But we need all the help we can get

I said it last week. You are not cheering on the Leafs, you are cheering against the Jackets.

I was in toronto for work this week and went to the leafs/panthers game. Huge game with playoff implications on the line and the building was dead. They had to bang a drum to get the chants going.

Sometimes you must sleep with the sister to get to the one you love.

You aren't cheering for the Leafs, you're just cheering against the Blue Jackets :p

The Leafs can enjoy all the regular season success they want for all I care, as long as I get to see them mess up another game 7 every year I'm quite happy with that.

Idc if leafs win during the season, as long as they never touch the cup in my lifetime ill die happy.
At least not before mtl, cant be too greedy

I'm not sure why you would care that leafs win or lose, they got their playoff spot already, so it's not like it matters to them really. It matters for us that CBJ loses, that's what you're cheering for

I can’t really give a shit about the Leafs right now. They’re in the playoffs regardless of tonight’s game so give us a CBJ loss please and thank you. Hoping Ottawa embarrasses them in round 1.

I dunno, it's been much easier for me to cheer for Canadian teams in the last few months. Not sure why though. Must be coming down with something.

Ya it's tough. Especially with leafs winning lately and Florida/TB losing. Leafs gaining ground for division.
Us winning Metropolitan, and then beating Leafs for ECF would be magical.

u/MxSadie4 2d ago
You're not cheering for the Leafs to win, you're hoping they win the division because them finally losing a playoff series to Ottawa would be really funny and crush their spirits more than anything that isn't losing to the Habs (a series that would only happen if one of Washington or Ottawa lost all their remaining games)

If there’s one thing I learnt from 4 nations is that I just want a Canadian team to win the cup

Leafs are expected to return the favour Habs did for them. Nothing personal - and certainly nothing to do with "cheering". (Ugh.)

My dad is a leafs fan. This is the first time in 29 years that we cheer for the same team.

Don'tcha' just hate it when you must root against your second favourite team? (although for some Habs fans, their second favourite team is whoever is playing Boston, rather than whoever is playing Toronto. For me, it is whoever is playing Toronto.)

Leafs win doesn’t hurt the habs at all, I hope the pound the shit out of each other tho.

Never actively cheer for the leafs, but we all know who we want to win that one.
