Don't know man. They play a game that can cause trouble come playoff time.

No need to panic. We've been guaranteed that the Leafs will win the Atlantic and the Stanley Cup.

It's like no one has watched the first 50 games. Ottawa, Tampa, Montreal, Detroit...they're basically all the same team. Win a few, then lose a bunch of games to other bubble teams, then win a couple again. They will all battle for third in the Atlantic and the wild card spots. One of Ottawa or Tampa could also catch Florida for second. Boston, on the other hand, is done. I don't think they will even get a wild card spot this season.

Goaltending is good. Regular season means nothing. Need to see if they are willing to play outside their comfort zone in the playoffs.

I agree that the regular season means nothing. The only purpose of it is to finish first in the division to get a more advantageous first round matchup. Everything else, including personal stats, is irrelevant.
