Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

Florida just looks like trash, 3-6-1 in the last 10.

Looking more and more like Florida will be the 2 seed. I don't mind it. Give them a chance right away to punch back after getting son'd in the 2nd round last year....and if they don't they don't waste our time any longer then needed lol

If things break right, the leafs can be two points behind Florida after Monday, so I don't think anyone should be conceding home ice to them.

Yeah I mean I guess I just don't really care if we get home ice or not.

 

[Peasy]

All the numbers point towards you not wanting the Leafs to have home ice, including their home record last playoffs (1-5 btw).

For me, our best chance against Florida is they simply don't have the same chemistry and lightning in a bottle momentum as last season, coupled with Bobrovsky tiring out down the stretch. Last year they played Alex Lyon who got them in the playoffs, and played half way through the Boston series before Bob came in and took over again.

If they wear Bob out, I could see him having a Vasi-like slog fest, which takes away one of FLA's key advantages from last season. They also have Stolarz who is underrated good, but that's our path to victory assuming the Leafs don't have their heads up their you know what's.

Less control Keefe has, the better.

The Leafs played well in Tampa during the playoffs. I'm not particularly worried about the Panthers home arena either.

The Bruins definitely have an intimidating barn though. Hate the team, but no denying that. They're the one series id care about playing the extra home game if need be

I've always thought it would be better for the home team if the schedule was first two on the road, middle three at home, and then alternating games 6 and 7. I think having those three games in a row for the home team would make home ice far more material.

Funny enough, both us and Florida have a better away than home record this year.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I know Reaves doesn't typically fight outside his weight class.....I really wish he would make an exception for Bennett on Monday night lol like just first shift of the game just grab him and feed the living shit out of him. I know it won't happen but it should.

 

[garce]

What a dumb sack of crap hit Montour makes on Petry to give Detroit a pp goal late to tie it. Nice to see Panthers penalized for the stupid shit they pull constantly. Hope the lose this one, fully deserved

 

[crump]

Detroit big point. I hate the panthers but I wish we never got rid of Verheagheee.

I wish we had of traded a couple picks for Bennett when the Flames were giving him away lol I would much rather have him on our team then wanting him killed playing against us.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Maurice is such a whining dick.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Knights look to be dialing it in for the postseason. Sure would be nice to see them repeat.

Eichel takes a spearing major. Oh Jack, you a bad boy.

I blame the stupid MLSE programme where they dont even know their goal song and the fans are confused by how to cheer on the team.

 

[PromisedLand]

McJesus tied for league lead in points with 2 points (both goals) so far. What a resurgence from him

Its not so much for Bruins' home arena or their fans; its the pro-bruins reffing in their barn that ticks me off. Difference last year was that Florida overcame pro-bruins reffing.

 

[Evilhomer]

McDavid with another 3 points so far...
.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Wild pull the goalie in OT again.
Cost them this time.

Edmonton is absolutely beating the brakes off Anaheim right now.

What a joke of a team, they are so bad. Zegras has to be the most over-rated player in the NHL

I'd be happier if they missed the playoffs, but I think they're cleared at least for a WC.

Detest them.
