[Dion TheFluff]

Assuming we get past Columbus, which team team would you wanna be matched up against in the 1st round?

Boston. I like benchmark measurements.

 

[kb]

All of them. At once.

Bring it on.....

 

[Buds17]

PHI? Keep that Metropolitan Division thing going considering the play-in vs CBJ...Tampa would be interesting though since there has yet to be a playoff match up between the teams. Been there, done that, as far as series vs Boston or Washington go recently.

Happy to be in the playoffs - surprise me!

 

[Dekes For Days]

1. Philly
2. Washington
3. Boston
4. Tampa

 

[Maplebeasts]

Anybody but Tampa. I expect them to be the team to beat from the East.

 

[Shanwhatplan]

I want the Bruins. Would like to slay that dragon and put it to rest once and for all!

 

[saltming]

All of them. At once.

Bring it on.....

With only 6 forwards 2 defensemen and no goalie

 

[X66]

Boston, gotta beat them.

Plus if they beat the bruins they’d play like they’re unstoppable from that point on.

 

[kevsh]

Boston.

The only downside is not having the opportunity to clinch the series (read: rub it in) in front of Bruins fans ... Or Toronto fans.

 

[OVO16]

Im not even gonna answer due to bad Karma....because us getting past Columbus is not close to being guaranteed.

We're the Toronto Maple Leafs. Everything is difficult

 

[Leafidelity]

Tampa. The Leafs always match up well against them.

 

[Stephen]

Anybody but Tampa. I expect them to be the team to beat from the East.

I want to see us lay a beating on Tampa.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I don't want Philly, in fact nix on the entire Metro division.

 

[Zybalto]

Tampa because they would make for the most exciting series IMO.

 

[leafsfan5]

Boston, it's time to beat them

 

[rojac]

Have the Leafs ever played Tampa Bay in the playoffs?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Have the Leafs ever played Tampa Bay in the playoffs?

No, pretty sure not.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

1st choice is Philly, 2nd is Tampa.

We don’t match up well with heavy skilled teams like Washington, Boston, St. Louis, etc

 

[Mad hatter]

Any playoff series win would be welcomed but it would feel better against Boston then anyone else I think. I also think getting over that Bruins hill might be the momentum builder needed to find the next gear that we know this team has.

 

[BlueBaron]

Tampa would be fun, Philly and Washington feel easier, Boston is sweet justice.

 

[hotpaws]

I think Phi would be the easiest matchup so i voted to play them .

 

[The Man with a Plan]

If the boys are to go anywhere they need to put the women and children to bed and go Bear hunting. Anything is possible once that dam breaks.

 

[Nineteen67]

Boston and Washington might be the least motivated.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

We have to beat everyone that comes at us. Hopefully they come out of the gate serious and a chip on their shoulders when it comes to burying teams when they have them down.
