Impressive to make it every year, but you are correct. It is past due to go on a run!

 

[Buds17]

'X' marks the playoff spot!

 

[Rob Brown]

An exciting time of year. Let's make it last longer than two weeks.

 

[crump]

Remember having to beat the Penguins on the 2nd last game of the season on the backs of Connor Brown, Kapanen and a McBackup post to post save to finally make the playoffs after a big drought in 16/17?

Its nice to cruise into the last few weeks pretty much set. Just win a freaking round now,

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Tampa looks weak this year.

Shanny Dubas and Keefe all gotta go if the Leafs lose in round 1

Now let's win some rounds!

Yeah the Panthers lost so we clinched tonight.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

The next step is to secure home advantage against Tampa.

 

[Jojalu]

The next step is to secure home advantage against Tampa.

Pretty much a given at this point. It is the Leafs however.

 

[Gabriel426]

16 Ws, that’s all I am asking.

The next step is to secure home advantage against Tampa.

Currently the magic number is 10 points, in the last 9 games, to clinch home ice. That will take us to 107.
If Tampa goes 8-0 in their last games, they'll end up at 106.

I’ll be happy with anything > 4.

 

[Fogelhund]

I’ll be happy with anything > 4.

4 is a minimum.. I think 8+ and I'm happy.

 

[Seras]

Win the cup or idc when they lose.

Firing anyone without having someone better to take their place would be a stupid mistake.

The next step is to secure home advantage against Tampa.

yeah worked out well for us last year

 

[BTP]

Definitely not taking it for granted qualifying with ease for essentially a decade. I remember getting in by the skin of our teeth vs Pittsburgh. And the days of not controlling our own destiny. f*** that

yeah worked out well for us last year

just because it didnt work last year doesnt mean it wont work this year.

The bar is too low for that. As the old saying, you shoot for the sky and even if you can’t reach it, you might still end up with top of the CN Tower but if you aim at the CN Tower, you might just fall flat on Skydome, lol.

I think TB has wounded animal energy this year and this Leafs group will potentially face the roughest, dirtiest team they ever have since we started making the PO on a regular basis. I think we can win but we will have to be at our most resilient. If we can stand up to their cheap shots and dirty plays and manage to stay out of the box, we can take them in less than 7 games.

It will be Vas. At the end of the day, Leafs cannot allow Vas to be the best player in 4 games of the series. Even if they lose a game or two in the series, they need to make sure Vas worked for that W. it doesn’t matter if it is a blowout, they still need to push, shove, shoot…to keep Vas busy.

yeah you know... I hadn't thought of that

 

[Arzak]

I like Palat-less Tampa

Leafs in 6

It's going to be an epic showdown with Bruins in the 2nd round.

So the GM put together a stronger team and he is the one who needs to go if the players cannot beat the weaker opponent?

Nice logic

 

[al secord]

We did it Naylor!

 

[Notsince67]

It's time

 

[Hellcat]

OMG !!! An X? THEY'VE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE PLAYOFFS ALREADY!!!!!
