LEAFS GDT Atlantic Division - Race to the 1st

[Evilhomer]

Meh, I’m not sure those guys are as scary as people think.

Bennett hurt today and Florida losing. They will drop to third place.

Stop jinxing it dude.

It's a jinx when I've been saying it for weeks?

You say a lot of things

And correctly most of the time. My comments about Florida are limited to regular season only. If they get a healthy Tkachuk back for the playoffs, they could be a different animal.

 

[Roo]

Habs doing us a solid

 

[Ianturnedbull]

The 1st place finish doesn't really matter does it?

 

[Schennanigans]

A chance to take a 3 point lead after today.

And 4-5 if they beat them on Wednesday.

Which means we all know what's going to happen. Lol

 

[notDatsyuk]

Three back to backs left for the Leafs. They had the most back to backs this league.

LA/Ducks (today)
Florida/Tampa (April 8-9)
Habs/Canes (April 12-13)

We're going to need Woll to step it up if we want the division as he likely has at least 3 more games in him and that's if we only play him back to back. Against better teams than Nashville and SJ too.

This again? They are tied for the most with at least two other teams, and almost all teams are within one or two.

You make it sound like we play 20 and nobody else has more that 3.

No not really, but it would be nice to play a different team in round 1 and let the Florida teams battle it out

They have the most.

Yes, there’s a team with 8 while the Leafs have 16. Tampa has 12. Florida has 14. Boston had 10.

Anything can happen but it’s about the likelihood. Would in not be better to play Ottawa, win the series and watch the other two teams slug it out over 7 games. We would face a somewhat tired team in round 2. If Florida romps though Ottawa, which they should considering they anre 7 annd 1 in their last 8 meetings, and we are in a 7 game series with Tampa. Florida now has an extra edge on us.

The small problem with playing Ottawa though is we are currently 0 and 5. lol!

Leafs can't handle the sens let's see what happens

Haven’t we seen this before, sens own us during the regular season and we eliminate them in the playoffs. That’s quite awhile ago though. Lol

Hopefully history repeats itself lol

 

[TorMapleJays]

These guys are going to win the division and have half the fan base on the verge of rioting the whole season. lol

The following Dwight quote is an extremely accurate summary of the TML fan experience:

Yeah, instead we can play Ottawa, even though we seem to struggle dealing with them...

 

[Apex Predator]

If the leafs can’t win the division at this point shame on them. This is there's to lose now.

 

[Apex Predator]

If history repeats itself then leafs will win the series. They always struggled with them during regular season and beat them in the playoffs.

 

[cyris]

I’d rather play Ottawa than Florida. Tampa is probably the team we play best against but they have improved and we can hope to get them in the second round.

Panthers get Leafs on the 2nd half of a back to back Wednesday, great chance to seperate
