Leaf first round playoff schedule

[TheGreatOne11]

Don't know if this is relevant enough for its own thread or been posted somewhere before.

Kind of B.S we have a back to back and a possibility of a game 7 back to back.

Um, that schedule can't be right?, 7 games(if it goes that far) in 10 nights, the last 5 to be played in 6 nights??

This is what ESPN is saying, seems Thursday is a pretty solid bet for it all to begin.

Not to mention they have to time-travel back to play game 7 in that first CBS graphic.

Lol yeah i noticed that after, don't you underestimate my leafs though. We could do it.

 

[The Iceman]

Boost ratings, game 7 is always a big draw. Why not host it before game 6

That the Canadian teams have to play back to backs in the playoffs is the biggest f***ing joke imaginable. f*** this stupid league, who gives a shit about the Flames and Canucks? Start us earlier so we don’t have to play back to back nights. It should never happen in the playoffs.

Ya,
then, I heard on the local radio, all 4 Canada teams pushed for an earlier start. So, we may see game 1 on Wednesday night since Canucks / Calgary will finish their season Wednesday afternoon.

1 billion % agree.

How can they think this is fair and a level playing field when we are the only group that has to play back to backs?

This s*hit can decide a series and since all of our backups have been travestys lately it leaves a bad feeling in my mouth.

What a joke.

I hope this is true and they are lobbying for the earlier start to avoid that SILLY STUPID ASSININE back to back.

There is already a full schedule released by NHL. Jets/Oilers will play on Wednesday.

By the time the 2nd half of the back to back will be played leafs will be completing the sweep.

Leafs just got to play their game. We have a huge advantage at basically every position and the only way we lose or this series goes long is if we shoot ourselves in the foot with bad decisions and have trouble finishing routine danger chances again

And if they didn't play b2b's now and their series finished later, you'd be complaining that the other 3 teams in the Final 4 got more rest than the Canadian teams.

Always someone complaining about something.

Hey guys, both teams are playing the back to back lol. And we’re the better one

Yes and wear and tear adds up quickly in the playoffs so it makes sense to say something when the only division playing any back to backs is the Canadian one...no reason not to start the playoffs with the rest seeing as it’s all locked in and the ‘nucks v flames game means literally nothing

 

[Menzinger]

Not at all a fan of this schedule.

Curious to see what the Leafs do with Goaltending kn the back to back

Will the habs have Price back?

 

[rojac]

If one back-to-back is going to destroy a team for the whole playoffs, then that team probably doesn't deserve to win anything.

Yeah if we get Primeau, I'm all for the B2B

> Be a top NHL player, make the playoffs
> 1st RD features a b2b
> Unusual but you’re a pro, deal with it
> 2nd game of b2b, both teams exhausted
> Out of fatigue, opponent makes dumb play injuring you
> You’re out for the season but team moves on
> Team can’t handle adversity of losing you, loses in round 2 or 3
> Sit at home watching on TV, knowing you could’ve made a difference
> Rojac: If a back to back destroys you, you don’t deserve to win
> YFW

Unless a team loses more than two of their top 5 or so players, they should still be able to be competitive. If they can't then that lack of depth is an issue.

And if a team falls apart because of losing one top player, they're not much of a team.

Do you remember they had a b2b in last year's playoff? The second-night game suck.

Campbell is 4-1-1 against Montreal this year (.918, 2.16)
Andersen is 3-1-0 against Montreal this year (.912, 2.73)

I'm not particularly worried.
