Speculation: Leafs First Round Playoff Schedule

[jomas]

I am guessing no matter who the Leafs play, they will try give CBC Saturday night games

Even if we get sweeped, every other fan will have to deal with constant Leaf attention in the hockey media for the first round.
We won't go down without annoying somebody.

 

[p.l.f.]

When will the playoffs end, July?

When will the playoffs end, July?

I think the last possible end date is towards the end of June. It's listed somewhere, can't remember where, maybe June 28th

 

[Canada4Gold]

does boston have to win outright? or just needs... a point?

they have to win. Montreal has the tiebreaker if they only get a point

 

[JMcLeaf]

Pretty sure the Bruins have beat the Sens every time this season. Games have been close though.

 

[George Maharis]

Yep, Boston is 4-0 against Ottawa this season.

2-1 (OT)
3-2 (SO)
2-1
3-2

3-2

Sens are due

Sens are due

Exactly what I was thinking.
Although, their entire existences worth of playing, Sens have been 39-64-8 against the Bruins.

 

[Daisy Jane]

LOL you guys.
you KNOW the Sens are going to win, and we're going to play Boston. I'm okay with that.
(if we play the Habs, i'm okay with that too).

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Ya, it'll be Boston. Out in 5, less than 1% doubt in my mind. You guys witnessed what getting outplayed and ourshot gets you when luck isn't on your side. I believe, without big changes, there won't be a playoff berth next season

take a deep breath bro

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

take a deep breath bro

These are pretty consistent opinions I've had all season. I hate the way our team plays, save a few players. One game hasn't altered my opinion

As the Stanley Cup match ups clear up and dates are set... Don't be surprised if you see the Bruins start their series on Thursday.

So potentially what might happen is:

Leafs vs. Montreal

Game 1: Tuesday in Montreal
Game 2: Thursday in Montreal
Game 3: Saturday in Toronto

Leafs vs. Boston

Game 1: Thursday in Boston
Game 2: Saturday in Boston
Game 3: Monday in Toronto

 

[MaskedSonja]

Yes, I've been thinking one way or another CBC is going to get their Sat night playoff game with the Leafs, so I could see the Thurs start and game 6 (if it goes that far) on the following Sat in Toronto-

though that might mean games on a Fri/Sat night back to back to get that game 6....

 

[Suntouchable13]

Man, I don't know. The way Boston has played lately, I wouldn't it be at all surprised if they dropped tonight's game.

 

[LostInAwe]

I think the last possible end date is towards the end of June. It's listed somewhere, can't remember where, maybe June 28th

If it is June 28th, how can they hold the draft so close to free agency on July 1st? Anybody know?

 

[Ambassador Bridge]

If it is June 28th, how can they hold the draft so close to free agency on July 1st? Anybody know?

Free agency is July 5th.

 

[TMLeafer]

If it is June 28th, how can they hold the draft so close to free agency on July 1st? Anybody know?

Free agency is moved to July 5th, draft is supposed to be June 30th, but that is very close to the last day of playoffs.

is this for sure correct? or just speculation?

Hello out there fellow hockey fans...y'all like hackey, right?

I just wanted to drop in and (one time before matchups are settled) say I am happy as a bee on a peach that the Leafs are back in the playoffs. I've been missing the Tronno games something fierce...if you play the B's may you sink into a fiery pit of a thousand devils...otherwise, good luck! I like the team.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

Speculation.

But what makes complete sense to me. Boston gets its 2/3 day break, HNIC gets Saturday night games in both scenarios.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Sens are due

That's what we thought last season lol

Thanks Nostradamus, why even bother watching games next year.

The Leafs are the only team this year to finish in the Top 10 in the NHL and still get absolutely no credit for the accomplishment by some of there "fans".

Winning record against the ATL
Winning record against the SE
Winning record against the NE
If the shoot out (not actually "hockey") did not exist, would have placed 2nd in he conference.

I almost feel sorry for some of our "fans", but I'm guessing they are just people that are never satisfied and are generally negative.

Oh well. I'm very happy with the team's progress this year.
