Dermott, Borgman, Rosen, Liljegren, Nielsen, Rasanen. So...good. And internally.
Holl projects to be a goal per game defenceman

Don't forget Justin "Goal Per Game" Holl!
Wasn't Morrisey suspended in the first round?
Here they are headed to the WCF having beat some pretty good teams. They look legit.
When they inherited Atlanta’s roster it wasn’t anything special and they were a bottom feeder, just like Toronto. Yet they appear to be in a much better position than us. Why?
Oh I get it, this was your petty attempt at a shot rather than real discussion. Funny how you constantly cry about others doing this.Well Morrissey is a top shut down guy. Not really comparable
But then again 1 point in 13 games is probably about right.
Could go either way on this one.
Your call.
Thanks for bringing it up

Its an easy choice, I'll chuckle at your garbage and call it when I see it.I’m pretty sure I don’t cry. If I did I would be dehydrated and I friggin had to get up twice last night.
So no.
You can play it serious or have fun. Your choice.

First signs of becoming an old man... trading that Beemer in for a Crown Vic?
In 1 season.
Ottawa went from a goal away from the Stanley cup finals to finishing near the bottom
New Jersey went from finishing near the bottom to the playoffs.
Winnipeg went from missing the playoffs and looking confused and lost with scattered play to quarter finals (at least) and looking and playing like a well structured team
Edmonton went from second round playoffs to bottom 5...
Do I need to go on? There is nothing to worry about. We are pathing correctly. Our kids are developing nicely. We have good defenders on the way and really we were 1 period away from beating Boston. I think the players all need to play on the same page. Like all the teams left in the playoffs. Winnipeg, Vegas, Washington, Tampa. They all are dialed in on the same page playing to how their coach wanted, and communicating.
I felt that the Leafs only in short periods would play up to the structure that Babs wants. Now that could be do to their core youth? Or maybe it's a clash of personalities or the lack of a dedicated leader? I dunno.
But that's the problem and the difference that will, if solved, take this team to the next level.

Yup. i find it silly people are handing the division to Boston.Tampa for years to come. Is washington really that good? This is the least talented Caps team in 2-3 years yet they are getting it done.
This makes it sounds close than it was. In the deciding period we looked like we didn't even belong in the same league as Boston. Men playing with boys is what it looked like.
You make it sound like we were not a 105 point team who could skate with any of the top teams in the league.
It was 1 bad period.
And lots can change by the start of next season.
Winnipeg didn't do anything different or "better" They are all playing as a great team. As a collective unit under the same coach with the same systems that had them miss the playoffs last year.
Leafs could easily, with the same team, either play as a structured collective and we take the next step or they could all play as individuals and we miss the playoffs.
And no, that's not on the coach. that's on the players, and those that lead the team in the dressing room.
Fill me in, what center of ours needs good wingers to make them look good?I know right?
If he can regain the trust of being a defensive player and continues to produce at 8 point paces, and cross checks people in the head, he could be our shut down D. Our Josh.
We could then rely on Centres who don’t need good wingers to make them look better.
Situation solved.
@IPS will be happy
How lazy/dumb is Boston for not just walking over the Leafs in 4 games then? I mean they clearly needed the rest, why not just turn on the switch after game 2 and close it out?This makes it sounds close than it was.

The season wasn't on the line in Game 5 or 6 for the Leafs?If that's a fair question than I suppose this is also a fair question:
If the Leafs are a 105 point team that skates like the wind, why didn't they bother showing up when the season was on the line?
