So the Jays look interesting this year...
Pasta is a mutant and a big problem but I'd be so disappointed if we lost to a team whose tops centre's are Coyle and Geekie. We should in theory be able to win that series. Won't be easy but that's an obvious weakness compared to Barkov and companyGive me Boston any day, I like the Leafs chances there.
I don't think they have much chance against Florida.
Only in Toronto can 4 players get paid more than the other teams star and everybody then only talks about how good that OTHER star is vs our guys lmao.Pasta is a mutant and a big problem but I'd be so disappointed if we lost to a team whose tops centre's are Coyle and Geekie.

If they lose in the first round everyone from Shanny right on down to the assistant coaches should be shown the door as well as some of the core.
No more excuses, no more moral victories and certainly no more respect in the handshake line
How that hasn’t already happened is mind boggling to me.
You are only as strong as your weakest link.Pasta is a mutant and a big problem but I'd be so disappointed if we lost to a team whose tops centre's are Coyle and Geekie. We should in theory be able to win that series. Won't be easy but that's an obvious weakness compared to Barkov and company
indeed. Every game we should have 3 of the 4 best players on both Toronto and Boston and if we don't, that's a problemYou are only as strong as your weakest link.
Did you not play red rover as a kid ?
Boston won again.I want Boston.
Only in Toronto can 4 players get paid more than the other teams star and everybody then only talks about how good that OTHER star is vs our guys anyone lmao.

Let's face it ,the shanaplan failed.any team the leafs face in the first round if the Leafs beat them ,the coaches will be fired
The leafs ,if they win or round or even 2
Are as good as this bunch will be .
It's been some nice entertainment ,but it's not playoff worthy team
Sadly Leafs core 4 forwards are too soft and aren't built to beat either Florida or Boston physical style of play.
Boston is getting carried by goaltending. Their C depth is atrocious, and their scoring is way too dependent on Pasta/Marchand, and their McAvoy-Lindholm pairing also carries too much of the load.
The Leafs' top 3 lines will be too much for a team with only one good forward line and one good D pairing. Only the goaltending can save them.
No for multiple reasons.Bertuzzi matthews domi

Ontario GTA native, Bruins fan. Just wanted to mention that the Bruins don't play physical. if you read that board you'll see that it's the #1 complaint about the team. Maroon and Peeke were brought in to help. Peeke is helping. It's not clear what Maroon has left. But essentially all year despite being 1st, fans have groaned at how soft the team is. It's running away with being the #1 complaint about this Bruins squad.
The Bruins have scored 5 less goals than the Leafs. I think they average a quarter goal less per game than Toronto, and are in the top 10 in the league for scoring.
There is no McAvoy-Lindholm pairing. Lindholm is paired with Carlo. Also if your concern is for Marchand, he does not play with Pastrnak. Marchand plays with Coyle and Debrusk.
I remember Knies getting ragdolled and injured with no response and then us having no offence once Knies was out of the lineup. I also remember game 5 being disgusted the first 2 periods because we couldn’t get the puck out of our zones. The response from fan base was we couldn’t be happy with a series win because how badly we got out played.that never happened. how were we dominated for 2 periods every game when we outshot them in literally every game except game 3. we lost every game by 1 goal and the 1 game we lost by more than 1 was because we had a goal called back.
It seems like the Leafs play one of the cup finalists in the 1st round every year.
Remaining strength of schedule has Boston with the #1 toughest remaining matchups.Boston won again.
Florida solidly in second now.
Boston 3 points ahead of Florida now.
I agree, but usually the tough teams start in the later rounds not the 1st.Maybe they should rise to that level then? I don't get this. If they want to win the cup, they have to beat good teams.
if Boston were a weaker team than us you might have a complaint, but they are a better team and currently have beaten us 6 straight. Only in a fluke do we beat them. So if we don’t get flukey fire everybody? lol!If they lose in the first round everyone from Shanny right on down to the assistant coaches should be shown the door as well as some of the core.
