Toronto, before losing in five to Montreal.

...is that the right answer?

You should probably have added every team in the Atlantic for this poll.

I like how some teams aren't options. Maybe we should just give the leafs the cup at this rate

Do you guys go around looking for fights with Leafs fans in every thread?

It's not that serious.

presuming the Leafs will finish ahead of straight up garbage teams isn't the same as awarding them the cup

Some of these teams are not playing well, others have just started to put it together after a bad start. There are few teams that are truly garbage in the NHL. A bad week or so is enough to drop a team from leading the league to back in the dogfight.

Toronto

 

[Iceman]

Boston

Toronto

Doubt it. I think they go 5th and miss playoffs

1 Tampa
2 Montréal
3 Ottawa
4 Boston (no playoffs)

 

[Zybalto]

Still early enough it could be anyone but if I were a betting man, I would say Montreal.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Why would u leave out Toronto we're only 27 games in... lol

 

[M2Beezy]

Boston. Outside chance of the Sens but they really got turn that ship around. Hope they do too

 

[roflstomper]

Probably Toronto in all seriousness.

 

[ole ole]

Tampa
Habs
I guess the Leafs should squeak in the 3rd spot.

Why? Buffalo is done they don't really have a chance, Ottawa arguably done but they are there, I am not sure they should be

The habs will not catch Toronto

Just out of principle, anything can happen. Not to have tampa and toronto (even if its unlikely) just makes the OP look like a homer.

I don't think it's homerism I think the OP looked at the standings and saw where Tampa and Toronto were and , and lets be honest unless Tampa and Toronto's cores are just killed with injury then they are VERY likely finishing 1 and 2 in the division.

The chances of either team falling further than #2 are remote at best

That would require Montreal catching Toronto that isn't happening

 

[Golden_Jet]

I would say Toronto gets third.

Stranger things have happened.

If the Bruins win their games in hand, they would be ahead of Toronto. Do I think Toronto stays as #2? Sure. Is the chance of them falling to 3 "remote at best"? Hardly.

Sounds like homerism to me, lose 5 or 6 in a row drops you outside of top 3 and playoffs easily.
Win 5 or 6 in a row your back in, look at Montreal or Boston.
