Golfing in Florida while waiting to start round 2 sounds good to me

But wait, haven't you heard that there's two HUGE games coming up and if they don't go our way, things will get even more tense than they already are. No we're not playing, FLA I think it is and some other team. FLA has 4 games in hand and we should assume they're gonna win them all. When was the last time they won 4 in a row you ask? Um, I have no idea, I'm sure they've done it before, maybe not this season but I'm sure it's happened sometime and I'm sure it's going to happen now, everyone's talking about it after all. And then if after winning they win another 5 in a row while we lose our next 5 in regulation, then we'd already be 4 points behind them in the standings and man that's a big gap to make up with so little time left. Seriously, if we're 4 points behind FLA with 9 games to play, I don't like our chances at all, do you? Well do you?
The way some people talk about Boston being this dominate team is surprising when you put it into the context the way you explained it. Yes Bergeron and Marchand are very good players. However given Chara's age and McAvoy's injury and the injury to Bergeron, they can easily be defeated.It looks like Bruins for us in round one but they may burn out having to play those extra 5 games on hand to catch up late in the season. Boston has home advantage, but being fresher and rested with nothing to lose advantage Toronto. Chara ain't no spring chicken and McAvoy just went down.
Florida has been hot, we are 0 and 4. It won't last.
Yes they still have 4 games left to be played against each other.dont the panthers and bruins still have to play all their games? thats seems good for us regardless
Well then you just have a negative mindset and can blame yourself.Why does this always happen? A week ago it looked confirmed we where gonna be in the playoffs. Now i don’t even think we will make it just due to past seasons.
If:
Columbus beats the Red Wings (Friday)
Florida beats the Rangers (Saturday)
Leafs lose to Penguins (Saturday)
Then:
Leafs will be 8 points ahead of Columbus with 13 games remaining
Leafs will be 10 points ahead of Florida (3 games in hand).
Good thing the Devils lost tonight in regulation. We actually might end up battling the Devils for the last spot.
edit: Devils actually have a pretty tough schedule.
We all know Montreal will play their best game of the season next Saturday and buffalo will play like contenders in their remaining games against us. While they let teams like Florida walk all over them. It isn’t fairHonestly I was expecting the Panthers to get 2 points tonight and everyone else should not be surprised since they were playing Montreal who has mailed in the regular season.
Toronto does have 2 wins against Montreal so far this season and the last one was that 6-0 win.We all know Montreal will play their best game of the season next Saturday and buffalo will play like contenders in their remaining games against us. While they let teams like Florida walk all over them. It isn’t fair
This is so many flavours of hilarious.
14 pts behind with 4 games in hand, OMG it's PANIC CITY!!!!
"We look like garbage" - good point, brilliant analysis.
You assume FLA beats MTL, sure why not? And expect us to continue to lose ground to Florida - why of course you do, why would you expect anything different?
Honestly I was expecting the Panthers to get 2 points tonight and everyone else should not be surprised since they were playing Montreal who has mailed in the regular season.
If the leafs go 7-7 to finish up (with 99 points) Florida will need 27 points in their last 17 games.
So they would need to go 13-3-1 to pass the leafs and finish at 100 points. And the play Boston 4 times. If they split with Boston they will have to almost run the table the rest of the year.
Can't see that happening.
