you know whats crazy.... leafs and bruins will probably in round 1 again for the next couple of years
thanks to this wonderful format
Why? Neither team is as good as the leafsDoubtful.
Playoffs are not a lock for the leafs next year. Not even close to being a lock.
I expect both Florida and Buffalo to surpass them next season.

Agreed. I am confident we win tomorrowWe are going to win.
I got a feeling.
I'll pm $50 in canadiantire money to anyone that nancy kerrigan's Chara's Knee...
Oh come on! There are some great skill guys on the Marlies and who knows who we can pick up from the KHL!Doubtful.

I'm calling it now, Matthews will do a triple sow cow past Chara and score in OT....Tanya Harding was the Bruin here.
Nancy Kerrigan was the victim, Nancy Kerrigan was the Maple Leafs.
Leafs need to learn how to close teams out and not let them back in series.
Serious contenders know this. That's why the Leafs are still in the learning phase. They are close it could happen any time. Even this year if they manage to win tomorrow.

Washington just failed to close out the series and they’re the cup champs. Sometime it takes 7, and I am confident the leafs finish it tomorrow
exactly they won the cup, we have not won a series with this core, id simply like your post but that function has been disabled for me lol.We know Washington is a serious contender. They don't need to prove anything. The Leafs on the other hand don't get the benefit of the doubt they need to earn it on the ice.
theyre gonna be gifted pps and probably scoreStay out the box and we win
This is the strongest the leafs will be over the next 3 years. In the coming years they'll have to constantly get rid of salary and they don't have any high end prospects coming up except for Liljegren and Sandin.
Florida and Buffalo have accumulated way more assets.
Florida also made a huge upgrade in coaching and, more importantly, will make a huge upgrade in goaltending. And the possibility of Panarin heading there.
Buffalo's ascension is less certain but their problems are fixable and they have a lot of draft picks and prospects to solve their issues.
My prediction is that the leafs will spend the next 3-4 years in a dogfight to just make the playoffs in a stacked division.
The Raptors are beating the Orlando Magic tomorrow.
It's not a sin to be a fan of all Toronto teams and we need to get past some thinking that the Raptors distract Leafs management or somehow the Leafs condemn
we got the technocrat Dubas with all his analytics! Executive of the year every year for the next decade! He's like Masai Ujiri! Provided we keep sacrificing toughness for skill in the Post Concussion Syndrome aware NHL, there will be no sorrow !
Leafs in a do or die, Raptors can close out a series, and Jays tank is failing miserably! Raptor got the best player in Toronto in Kawhi Leonard, the Leafs have 2 potential generational players in Matthews and Nylander! Tomorrow could be quite the gem!
Look at it this way: Dubas the technocrat is embracing three key elements: Speed, speed and speed.I’m not so cynical that I’d trade in a series win for an I-Told-You-So. I think I speak for most grumpy old farts on here in saying, we’d gladly be wrong and eat all the crow that is coming to us.
Ah I see where you’re coming fromWe know Washington is a serious contender. They don't need to prove anything. The Leafs on the other hand don't get the benefit of the doubt they need to earn it on the ice.
