Who would you like to see in the playoffs?

[Bardown warrior]

Okay, before everyone gets on me for jinxing everything that leafs only really need 6 more wins in 15 games to make the post season, should be doable and frankly if we can't manage that we shouldn't be in the playoffs anyways

Potential match ups range from Boston to Montreal to Tampa... so Who would you rather see in the first round?

My heart says Montreal, from a strictly entertainment perspective but the logic in me says Tampa because they seem like they would be an easier opponent now with St. Louis gone.

Tampa.

Montreal can beat Boston so let them go first. Plus if we win against Tampa, Stammer might fall in love with his hometown and come home and sign

 

[Pinto]

I'd like to play either Tampa or Montreal really.

A Toronto/Montreal series is just too good to pass up though.

 

[Revolt]

I want Tampa. I just think it's our most favourable match up. We should win that one.

 

[Igy]

Montreal would be epic.

 

[Bardown warrior]

Montreal would be epic.

I get goosebumps even thinking about it... However a Boston MTL series would be fun to see play out as well and I think our odds stack up much better against a Tampa Bay especially with Stamkos looking actually human nowadays

 

[ACC1224]

Any Western Conference Team will do.

 

[Mess]

Montreal.

Still remember that series in the 1970's where Larry Robinson ended the Leafs season with a Tiger Williams elbowing penalty.

Leaf revenge is best served cold.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Montreal. I'd love to get the satisfaction of eliminating these French ****s.

And want Boston in the second round. Need to get revenge after last year's series.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Montreal would be epic.

Imagine if it is going to be in Conf. Finals instead

 

[Gallagbi]

Any Western Conference Team will do.

 

[HockeyGuy82]

Boston!! Let's see how those guys would play after what happened last year. If the Leafs would win against Boston, the momentum and confidence after that would make us dangerous...

Montreal 2nd choice. What a great series this could be. It's been too long!

This guy gets it.

 

[Diatomic]

Tampa would be easier IMO but I'd love to face Montreal. Rather face pens/bruins in later rounds

 

[Suntouchable13]

Boston!! Let's see how those guys would play after what happened last year. If the Leafs would win against Boston, the momentum and confidence after that would make us dangerous...

Montreal 2nd choice. What a great series this could be. It's been too long!

I'd want a re-match with them but only in the semis or Conf.Final.

 

[Joey Hoser]

I really don't see how Tampa could stand a chance against us now with MSL gone and Bishop cooling off.

I'd take that matchup in the first and hope the Habs can make it to round 2, then take on the real challenge in the conference finals.

 

[Bardown warrior]

I'd want a re-match with them but only in the semis or Conf.Final.

Exactly... I dont wanna risk being eliminated in the first round again... Our guys need all the expereince they can get.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Montreal would be epic.

Possibly too epic.

 

[mikebel111*]

Boston or montreal

IDK Tampa Tor series doesnt look traditional to me.

 

[jmart21]

I don't care who we play first; as long as we play boston at some point. I want revenge.

 

[Deebo]

Is this considered a jinx thread too by those of you who believe in jinxes?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Any Western Conference Team will do.

yup. I say this every year. I can be all realistic and go 'we don't look like xyz" but there's always a Cinderella team, and the Leafs aren't your a-typical Cinderella team. No one in the eastern conference scares me [MAYBE Columbus ] i've stated my reasons why.

for the young'ins - I want the team that we can beat - but we can learn something from. I want the Leafs to claim 2nd in the Atlantic (third in the east) and lay the boom on Montreal/Tampa. the end. [if it's Montreal - how to really use that annoying scramble thing they do - it usually burns us 1-2 goals a match with them - if it's Tampa, I think it's just continually using our speed, and not stop/start/stop/start so much].

then depending on how things shake down for the 2nd round, we potentially face Boston. I'm sorry - they do not scare me. They didn't scare me last year, they didn't scare me this year. the reason why we lost the 2 games was because our PK was going through that epic swan dive [it took like what? 5 goals scored on the PP before they got an ES goal? - that's how bad our PK was at that point] We were on par with them on ES - the end.

 

[Damisoph]

Montreal ainec

 

[Michael Gary Scott]

Not sure if its even possible, but I'd like Tampa in the 1st round, I think we could walk them in 5. Montreal in the 2nd, again we can walk them, probably 6 depending how good Price decides to be. And have Boston in the conference finals. We'd likely lose, but it'd probably be one hell of a series.

Montreal without a doubt .. Home ice preferable to avoid shaky reffing
