It's hard not to go into a game thinking the Leafs won't steamroll the opposition. They are that good.
p.s. we're better than tbay
I have to admit, Brown looked good tonight. If he keeps this up, he'll be a serviceable 3rd liner on a deep team.
And later on he was petting himself for advising Babcock to play Nylander with Matthews and seeing that it really happenned... Except for that happenned for one shift only after Kappy had to play on a penalty kill. Lol.Also Greg Millen is the absolute worst.
Not even 10 minutes into the game he starts showing his ***** for Luongo “the way he looks tonight you’re gonna need some traffic, he’s in one of those grooves” dude we’re not even half way through the first lol.
Marincin played amazing yesterday, he was super aggressive and went on rushes many times.
I think he knows he has to change it up a little to last in this league.
Lol. This is based on nothing aside from your emotional attachment to the Leafs. Tampa’s defence is one of the best units in the league, the Leafs isn’t even close.
Yes, we badly need a confident Nylander, he looks out of sorts, maybe it’s Matthews he needs.What a fun game. Complete effort by the Leafs. Only thing missing was a Willy goal.
It's not hard for me. We've lost plenty of games this season, some to teams we shouldn't have much trouble with and some were downright ugly.
It's a long season and I'll judge this season mostly on how we do in the playoffs and that means I won't be making any judgements any time soon. We look pretty good most of the time but we still have a long way to go.
Until we start beating teams in the playoffs we aren’t better than anyone.actually it's based on Tampa padding their record against an easier schedule, and not playing the top teams nearly as well as we have.
and what isn't close, exactly?
TOR: 2.74ga/gm (#4), 32.9sa/gm (#24)
TBL: 2.86ga/gm (#12), 32.3sa/gm (#22)

We are hopeful like everyone (with good reason to be). But each playoff series is a small 7 game sample size where any stats can be thrown out the window. You can put Corsi and lose. You can beat a team all regular season and lose. It’s a different beast and that’s where you earn your elite (better than others) status.

.
how many of those games have we had, exactly?
I don't know, it's not like I'm keeping count or anything. A couple of Boston games come to mind.
a) nonsense
b) what has tbay done in the playoffs?
Why?
