Pre-Game Talk: islanders vs leafs-Clinch time VII

[AvroArrow]

Gotta hammer em. They're contending for our spot, regroup and come out guns blazing.

 

[Fearless Leaf*]

We will clinch the playoffs, no doubt it. It would be absurd to think we can't
Ossicle win 1 game in the remaining 5 games after all the effort.

I smell a win here.

 

[Mindrust]

Yes, we will clinch a spot. No doubt about it. Just like we clinched a spot the last 9 years.

Jeez.. some leafs fans never learn.

 

[CanadianLov3]

It's either a close game or a blow out for the Isles. Need to win, damnit!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yes, we will clinch a spot. No doubt about it. Just like we clinched a spot the last 9 years.

Jeez.. some leafs fans never learn.

Yea, when was the last time they were actually sitting 7 points up on 9th with 5 games left? This is so much like the past 9 years So you're saying the Leafs will miss?

 

[LadyLeaf]

I'm going to the game tomorrow, and so far the leafs are 2-0 when I've seen them at the acc. Good sign!

Burn the boats! Lets clinch our spot on home ice!

I'm saying the possibility of missing is VERY open.

 

[Espher]

I'm saying the possibility of missing is VERY open.

Yeah, the Leafs just have to go 1-4 or worse and have the Jets run the table.

Very open.

Wpg can max out at 56 pts and we're sitting at 53 with 5 games left . It's hard to imagine we'll miss this year . While possible it's highly improbable .

VERY open?

Care to make a friendly forum wager?

Leafs don't make it...... I don't post for 6 months.

Leafs make it......you don't post until the day after the draft

 

[egd27]

Very open.

And the Sens need 6 of 12, and the NYI need 7 of 10, and the NYR need 10 of 12

Even if we don't pick up another point there's still a 94% chance we'll make the playoffs.

So if you consider a margin of 6% to be "very open" then all the power to you.

 

[Leafs Forever]

I'm saying the possibility of missing is VERY open.

I think the odds have us as 90%+ of making the playoffs at this point. Even if we lost every game this season we'd have a good chance just on the odds that Winnipeg stumbles at some point.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

We need to match physicality and have Phaneuf all over Tavares.

 

[Espher]

And the Sens need 6 of 12, and the NYI need 7 of 10, and the NYR need 10 of 12

Thanks for fleshing it out.

 

[LeafOfBread]

Lol, I think mindrust got owned

 

[Leaf Rocket]

The guy got a raw deal big time. If we were a legit threat to win it all, I'd like Nonis (does he even work for the Leafs anymore? lol) to bring him back as an assistant GM to reap a little of what he sowed.

Yea, damn did it suck and I was damn pissed. Ah well he's a smart guy, he should get back on his feet soon.

We gonna miss it. It'll be a shame. Jokes



In other news, Kessel and Kadri need to start a new streak.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Beat these plugs.

 

[Stats01]

Dude dont even joke about this... reminds me of the NYI v NJ game that kept us out

The leafs have to be the masters of their own destiny, gotta rebound after that horrible game yesterday

I'll never forget that day. All we needed was NJ to win and since they already clinched they decided to sit out most of their best players including Brodeur and ended up losing in a shootout....damn that was a really bad day, I was depressed for like a week. It's partly why I hate NJ so much.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Beat these plugs.

they have JT and Moulson who are hometown boys and love to hit the goals. God damn them lol

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Someone had a great quote yesterday: "Matt Moulson is lucky he's a hockey player, or he'd never get laid"

I hate Moulson.

 

[crump]

Leafs could clinch without winning another game.

 

[ConnorTO]

Winnipeg loses 2 and were in. They will be unable to catch us

tic toc winniPEG

 

[Hurt]

0-5-0 94.2%

That means that if they go 0-5-0, there is a 94.2% chance they will make the playoffs. Of course they haven't clinched yet but apparently we have very differing views on what 'very' means.
