Series Talk: Leafs vs Jackets- Series Preview and Discussion - II

[weems]

Sports fans are going to be in for a treat when sports return.

Non stop action between NHL, MLB and NBA.

 

[Rob Brown]

That will be...awesome.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

I just saw what Button said about Montreal's chances against Pittsburgh and he said they need Carey Price to play like Jaroslav Halak did against Washington in 2010, because he said Pittsburgh on paper is the much better team.

We are chopped liver on paper of course eh lol

Times make sense, 4pm game played at the Marlies rink, then no worries of OT going to long.

Don’t have a lot of faith in MLB, travelling to different cities.

Yeah I'm going to be stuck to the TV all day lol.
I wonder what time slot the Leafs get. Have to think prime time so maybe 4 EST or 8 EST.
Only really focused on the Leafs in terms of prime time, because there is no way the NBA will give the Raptors prime time.

For those interested, here is an interview with Columbus assistant coach, talking about the series, and how they are preparing etc, it's from TSN1200 radio.
Shaw: Hard to plan and prepare for the return to playing

 

[ACC1224]

It wasn ‘t in the middle of a discussion. It was made the narrative like its a big deal. It was a stupid anti leaf hype type statement. Go listento it at tsn and get your own take

It’s ok I’m good.
I like to form my own opinions.

 

[stickty111]

PPP did a rough outline based on the scheduling info by Bob, and if we follow the usual 1 vs 8 which is series 1, which is now 5 vs 12, the Leafs would be series 4 in this case, they would begin their series on August 2nd at 8:00 EST. They would get this time slot for every game.

Rehman and McCauley each have a positive differential when it comes to penalties for and against us, so I’m glad they’re in our hub.

Pollock, Dwyer, and Charron all lean at a positive differential for us as well, albeit not as dramatically as the aforementioned two, but that’s still a good sign.

Hebert is just barely negative, and Lee is even. These guys should at least be neutral.

Furlatt will be an issue if he refs any of our games since he leans heavily negative with the differential. L’Ecuyer and Hanson also lean more negatively.

Overall I thing we got a good deal with the refs we’ll be dealing with. At least we don’t have to see St. Laurent these playoffs, until we make the finals of course .

Hebert was the ref in this Leafs and Penguins game during the 2013-14 season when Malkin scored this goal was clearly goalie interference and he allowed it to stand without a review.

 

[notDatsyuk]

It's possible. However Pittsburgh should be a much more heavy favorite and I think Button will end up giving Montreal much more benefit of the doubt and talking more positively about them compared to his comments regarding Toronto.

First, Pittsburgh was pretty heavily favored over the Islanders last year. Is Montreal that much worse a team? Isn't Price a better goalie?

Second, it's just his opinion, and part of it is being controversial. You don't have to take the bait.

The funny thing is that we have about our best win/loss with Furley, and one of our worst with McAuley.

That's all true but you gotta admit, Button is pretty annoying. IMHO he has one of the most punchable faces/voices in the business.

 

[therealkoho]

well we're doomed to qualify for the 1st overall.....Button say's so, in fact he say's the Leafs will get their lunch handed to them
TSN Broadcaster: "Leafs Will Lose First Round"

TSN broadcaster, Craig Button does not believe the Toronto Maple Leafs has what it takes. They are not matched up against the Boston Bruins, but he still believes the Maple Leafs will face a first round playoff exit.

Button feels quite strongly about this perspective on the Maple Leafs. If the players and coaches do not invest their time going over the fine details of the game, the Columbus Blue Jackets will "walk right over them."

So don't take the bait: don't listen to him.

 

[McSnypsky]

Just a curious question, since no fans are allowed would they let other teams show up to watch games?

The NHL will 100% want the Leafs to play on the first Saturday HNIC of the schedule.

No fans , means no fans

technically not fans as they would be co-workers

I guess that would be okay, but haven’t heard anything like that

I do think that no basektball + no warm bodied fans in the rink should help the ACC.
