Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

Unfortunately, I still think they’re going to make it because I think Carolina is going to rest a lot of their starters because they have nothing to play for.
Carolina is still deep and better structured cant rest the whole roster I think they still win
 
Set your sights higher. The Leafs will do much better than round 2. There isn't a team in the Eastern conference that will beat them this season.

Yes, and we’ll have a better chance of going far if the Florida teams spend time beating each other up in round 1. That’s in jeopardy as long as Tampa has a chance to pass us.

And don’t give me the odds of how unlikely that is. What were the odds the Leafs would blow a 4-1 lead in the third in game 7? The odds we’d blow a playoff spot with an 8 game losing streak in 2014? The odds we’d lose to a Zamboni driver? The odds we’d blow a 3-1 series lead to the Habs?

This franchise lives to defy the odds in a bad way. Any tiny advantage we can get is most welcome, and we will very much lose one if Florida goes into Tampa not only on a back to back, but unmotivated to try and take points from them.

Your scars clearly run deep, but they will all be healed this season.
 
Yep Rangers win. Florida has nothing to play for tomorrow. Easy two points for Tampa. Must win game for the Leafs in Buffalo if they want any hope of taking it easy even a little bit before the playoffs.
 
lol!!!! MSL is getting roasted on the Habs board. They just blew it I think. Columbus is going to win tomorrow and Carolina is going to beat Montreal on Wednesday

LOL @ MTL fans thinking they should be able to retake their second shot because Chicago's first shot went in unnoticed

Like that would have changed anything! Literally has no barring on the MTL chance
 
LOL CBJ is somehow still alive. They'll need to win both of their games in regulation while MTL needs to lose in regulation

Quite the turn of events.

Who would have thought last Thursday that MTL wouldn't have a playoff spot locked up yet?

CLB's last two opponents are very beatable (PHI and NYI). I hope CAR tries against MTL and doesn't gift them a playoff spot. They were uncharacteristically nonchalant against TOR after the first 15 minutes.

Nobody ever said Habs fans were smart

All my life i've heard how intelligent and sophisticated montreal hockey fans are, i see no evidence of this.

Like Laine's strategy would be all different if he knew Chicago had scored

The problem with CBJ is they've been so dogshit on the road. Plus, Philly has been pesky since Torts got fired, so I'm sure they'll be tough to beat
 
I feel bad for what happened to Laine and his mental health issues over the years but wow has he fallen off a cliff as a player. He is brutal to watch.

Don't really care if MTL makes or misses out on the playoffs but I am glad it's coming down to their very last game.
