Hope the Bruins fall apart before the playoffs.
On the other hand, the Habs are 3rd in the league...behind the Blackhawks and Penguins.
...but we are the bubble that's about to burst.
Hope the Bruins fall apart before the playoffs.
I understand the euphoria and excitement in Leaf land about the impending playoffs. I do not understand how sure some guys are that they'll crush MTL.
You don't expect your team to crush anyone in the playoffs, it's the playoffs. MTL beat Boston 8 straight in the regular season and it took 7 games to eliminate them. TOR and MTL have a blow out each and an ugly game that was close. Hardly cause for cockiness.

Right on the spot. I sure hope Leafs players have the same kind of overconfidence but I doubt it. You never know tho since they don't seem to have any playoff leaders..
I think it'll go Habs in 6.

I would absolutely love to face the leafs in the playoffs. As much as some injuries might happen, I'm not expecting this Habs team to march to the cup. It's a measuring stick year for us IMO. A series win against the Leafs would be a beautiful consolation prize this year. I'm confident Montreal will take it to them. We're way better coached and more balanced than them.
Imagine watching PK shut down Kadri every night! Soooo much gloating potential for us!
I don't equate the Leafs team as highly mature and rational. I mean Phaneuf the drunken karaoke machine, Lupul cry to the media that Subban is disrespectful, and Hannibal Grabovski are their leaders!
Although we have Gionta I can't win a puck battle along the boards to save my life, with the C so who knows?!

Wow what a hater.
That would be true if Subban's corsi stats didn't indicate he'd more likely play against the 3rd line than the second
Watching the Leafs march out Orr and McClaren for regular shifts would be fun as well.

I dream of seeing them getting exploited by the speed and intensity of the NHL playoffs.
hahaha. Of course!
Another reason I would look forward to this series is that every fan base will be watching. Which will surely put myths like this to rest once and for all!
That's because we havn't been in the playoffs in the modern era and have no memories of it since Jeremy Roenik scoring in game 6 OT 9 YEARS AGO. What time of idea could any Leafs fan possibly remember from that time period about how the playoffs were?
Bruins board having another meltdown, apparently the YETI might not be coming after-all as the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation is refusing to approve the transaction since they want the YETI for their WC team.
Notice how Carlyle's teams are on these lists 3 of the 4 times?
It's the way his system is, the Leafs might get out shot, but they are terrible shots in general. There have only been a handful of games where the Leafs were out-chanced by their opponents.
