No, the 1988 Leafs making the playoffs is a disgrace.
We're just a bubble team that seems to be on the right side of things this year.

If the Flames catch us they'd only have to tie us as in order to do so they'd have to pass us in wins.
That being said if we consider the following:
Habs win = 2
Flames Loss = 2
Habs OT loss = 1
Flames OT loss = 1
Any combination in the Habs last 9 and Flames last 8 that equals 11 and we make the playoffs.
Say Habs Go
3-3-3 in our last 9 that's 9 points, thus meaning if the flames lose 1 game in regulation or 2 in overtime they are eliminated.

Also thank F*** no more flames games I hate the way they play. Most boring hockey to watch since the Trapping Devils
I always said they are only loser points when you don’t make the playoffs.
You see this I see this Others see this. But none of us count.
Considering a younger and better Elias Lindholm only makes 4.8m I have a hard time digesting anything over 4.5m for Danault. Lindholm may be due for a raise but still it shows how skewed his salary demands really are.

This team is still in shambles, yet I still truly believe if they make the playoffs, they will eliminate the Leafs in the 1st round and then lose in the 2nd.

When Lindholm signed his contract, he was a worse player than Danault is right now, and a RFA on top of this. Had he been a UFA (which obviously implies he would have been older), he probably would have gotten 5-5.5M/year. He exploded in a way no one (not even himself) could have expected after signing. He'd easily get offers in the 7-8M/year range if he were to sign a new contract today, if not more.

The funny thing about it was, I was cursing thr tv for leaving basically the same players on the ice, except Caufield, for a 5 on 3 - and bringing on Weber - and having Weber and Petry, two righties at the points on a 5 on 3, so only one one time option - and then when they started to switch so Weber wasn't going to be the shooter, but rather the distributor - and then boom - ahhhhhh, that sneaky sneaky Burrows...

Man Suzuki worries me. He always looks gased out there, falling down, slow... Hopefully he can get his game back on track for playoffs if we get in.
MTL has been lucky with the posts tonight. Not a lot of scoring chances, and I don t care CGY plays a boring Hockey style, OTT scores 6 against them...
on the positive side, the centers all produced a good defensive game and a good transition game. Great to see Evans back, he and Lekhonen have had a good defensive game. Merril and Allen have been solid, Edmunson Petry to a lesser extent. Gustafsson puckhandling is great
on the negative side, Gustafsson is lost without the puck, this is scary, Chiarot Weber is slow and does not generate transitions or proper offensive support, the PK is completely messed up with sometimes 3 players around one offensive player. The PP with Petry Weber is too obvious and only aims at setting up Weber, yes he scored but that was 5 on 3. Staal is so slow and useless that it is sad for such a player.

Have we watched the same game ? Suzuki generated turnovers, was efficient defensively, thanks to his initial shot, the second goal comes.

I don't think he did anything to sit in the first place. He's been really good in a limited role this year. Hope he's on our expansion protected list

Decent game....
Anderson....wow, he's tough everywhere and plays 200 ft game as good as anyone.
Toffoli....where would we be without him?
Caufield....the very definition of a perimeter game. He better have more fight in him or he's an AHL journeyman. Yes, I now it's his first game, but it was weak. He got pinned in Calgary zone and he didn't try to fight it even a tiny bit. We'll see...

I hope Toffoli ends up on a lot of Hart ballots this season. He’ll likely never sniff this type of success again in his career and this is very likely a one off season for him. But he deserves some recognition for what he’s done. Without him, this team doesn’t sniff a playoff spot.

Stop right there criminal. Don't talk about Caufield like this like what the f***?
I would like to see how you would do if you were in his shoes. You would probably fail badly and not even shoot at the net once, right? right.
