But they haven't won the two games they have in hand on Boston. You're awarding wins that haven't been earned yet and talking about a lot of what ifs. Even if we just completely eliminate Boston's hottest stretch for no actual reason, we would have to play at a 112 point pace the rest of the way to overtake a Boston team maintaining their past 30 game pace. It's entirely possible that the Leafs overtake Boston, especially with their goalie getting injured, and I'd be very happy to see Boston shrivel away into irrelevance and will cheer our rise every step of the way, but give credit where credit is due to the 2nd place team in the league pacing 115 points and wait for it to happen. You were already wrong about your New Years prediction, and it's hard to gain ground in this league. That's why the whole playoff teams being set by Thanksgiving thing is a thing.

Well, I'm pretty sure they are going to gain two points on the Bruins tonight, so I guess you can re-run the numbers after that.
We're in the middle of a tie game, and Boston hasn't even started their game yet. A bit premature.

A tied game against the Islanders going into the third period is basically two points.

Welp you got the win. Leafs lose. You’re constant reverse jinx crap is annoying though.

A ton of games went to OT tonight
Most of them in the Atlantic, unfortunately

Bad day on the scoreboard. Tampa wins and Florida gets a point maybe two.
The more time goes, the more it shows Leafs are not better than the other good teams in the division. They are on par at best.

Jersey has to be the biggest disappointment of the season so far. I get the injuries, but they have not been good.

9 straight wins for Panthers.
Wow. 9 straight for the Oilers too.

Guess we'll have to end that streak on Tuesday, assuming they beat Montreal on Saturday.

Kraken are at 8 straight and the Jets can go to 8 straight too with a win against the Hawks tonight.

Seems like just a matter of time until the Oilers pass the Kings. This is why I don't sweat the Bruins having a 5 or 6 point lead on the Leafs.

It shouldn't surprise anyone. They're once again one of the best defensive teams in the league, and now the goals are finally going in while they're getting good goaltending after Grubauer went on the IR.

Seems most have forgotten Fla won the President's trophy the year before they made their run to the Cup.
Last years subpar regular season seems more like the abberation

Florida just keeps on chugging. Leafs won’t even get home ice, let alone win the division.

Florida won't win forever. All those wins and they are only 6 points ahead of the Leafs with two extra games played. That lead won't last.

I hope you’re right. And honestly home ice doesn’t matter all that much. Especially with the Leafs given how poor our record is at home in the playoffs under Keefe.
