I wanted Boston.
Tampa will pick it up for the playoffs when the games matter. Make no mistake.
I think TBL's offense and defense will pick it back up to 90% of their potential right in game 1 but goalie hot streaks/cold streaks continue into playoffs and Vasi is arctic cold, so we def have a chance in this seriesI wanted Boston.

If Marchand was a Leaf he'd be in the box for most of the seasonBoth will be a tough battle, but Boston is scary right now.
Plus, when Kucherov or Stamkos scores on us I can at least respect that. When Marchand scores on us, I'll feel dirty....
Fantastic player, wish he was on my team, hate him so much.
your opinion bro

You'll always have some but I don't think that would be a majority.If Marchand was a Leaf he'd be the most popular player on these boards.

Well they certainly have something to play for tonight. Do you genuinely believe either Boston or Tampa wants to play Toronto in the first round?
The irony here is that New Jersey (I think it's Jersey) would be the alternative.
Jersey isn't that far removed from Toronto.
setting a franchise record for wins and point doesn't mean we have to win a playoff round. our franchise high for wins and points is very low compared to other franchiseswhat is the point of this talk and debate over which team Leafs want to play???
If the Leafs want to have success they will have to beat both. BOS will fly through NJ on their way to round 2.
This Leafs team set the francise record for wins in a season will also set the franchise record for points in a season. So after 101 years Leafs Nation is seeing the best team to ever wear the jersey. SO winning one round is not enough.
Leafs have to win 2 rounds. BOS and Tampa in whatever order, it doesn't matter. Leafs will have to go through both.

um i beg to differ. they are a slightly worse version of pittsburgh. if a team can take them out its them.The Devil's are a much less dangerous opponent...

they're like one of the few teams to give pittsburgh fits. i'd rather not verse themHow many Devil's games have you watched this year? Nico is one of my favorite players, so I watch them on a semi-regular basis. They're not a team I'd be afraid of...in fact they'd be one of the teams I'd prefer to play in the East.
Team | HDCF / HDCA | HDCF% | Share of Shot Attempts (%) |
Boston | 862 / 801 | 51.83 | 53.6% |
Tampa Bay | 918 / 798 | 53.5 | 51.8% |
Toronto | 1060 / 924 | 53.43 | 49.9% |
We can beat either team.
I want Tampa because they let us skate through the neutral zone uncontested and don't have a dirty rat named marchand running our players.
