Pre-Game Talk: Sabres @ Leafs -March 26th, 7PM

[The List Of Jericho]

How can it be as early as Monday night? NJ has a max of 100 points they can reach. Florida at 101. We are currently at 97 points. It can not be officially clinched on Monday night. Or am I missing something?

Well if Florida lose in regulation and the Leafs win, the best they can reach is 99 which we would have. We have them beat in ROW by quite a bit so it's pretty much a clinch but I guess in a technical sense not there yet.

yah but they could still win out their games in regulation

 

[MattySnipes]

I say that has a lot do with Babcock, Shanahan and Lamoriello.

100%. And drafting guys with great character.

Boston is going to be worn out pretty bad by the end.

9 games in 15 days against hard opposition. 2xTB, 3xFlorida, Wild, Flyers, Jets and the only easy team in Ottawa.

They are already feeling the injury bug and thats not going to help matters either.

They have Boston 3 times and Nashville but I hope your right...if they beat Boston we could manage home ice.

Yea, they still would have us beat in ROWs.

Florida actually has a big ROW advantage. They are only 3 row back of us with 14 points to make up. It's practically a given that they would have more ROW once they made up the 14 points. Not that it's going to happen anyway.

Let's hope the Leafs defeat the Panthers in regulation this Wednesday to officially put them out of the Atlantic for the playoffs.

yah thats what i'm hoping for as well

 

[MattySnipes]

damn, been a while since I've seen the Leafs be such a heavy favourite for a game - makes sense though, 31ST vs. 6TH

 

[NiftyMits]

This is probably a bigger Trap game than versus the Red Wings especially since our clinching is coming closer and closer

 

[grapes55]

Super random question but I'm heading to the game tomorrow and I was wondering; would be allowed in with my school bag? I have class till around 4:30 and I'd like to avoid hauling ass all the way up the subway line from UofT and then head right BACK downtown. I guess I should just skip class to be safe

I was thinking the same thing, however since they have already played Buffalo twice this month they know what to expect and I'm sure Babcock will remind them not to take them lightly or have the players assume it's a guaranteed win.

100%. And drafting guys with great character.

Definitely a great strategy to follow in the years to come. I love skilled players, but I love skilled players who are quality people even more. They understand that it's not 'all about me'. It's one of the reason's I don't think Kovy's on the radar following this year...he's not shown the quality of character I think the team is pursuing.

Exactly. People forget, the biggest asset in this league is cap space. Just because you have it, does not mean you must use it.

The Leafs have created an enormous amount of competition and depth within their own organization as a whole (NHL/AHL) and then minor developmental leagues. We have a lot of options this summer that can compete for some of the holes that will result from Leo/Bozak/JvR.

-300? Yikes, why even bother betting on Toronto?

 

[93LEAFS]

A bunch of people will play it as the gimmie game on a parlay. Not that I agree with that approach. So while it may not see much action at -300, it could be on a bunch of parlay tickets.

I hate these games against lower tier teams. you know they will try and make a bright spot for the season. they have pulled some dirty hits on us before it would just be disgusting if they ended up injuring someone.

Detroit was playing this game too. Matt Martin to the rescue? (Lol)

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

GDT! GDT! Let's get it going!

You have to check your bag and pick it up after.
