What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
I agree, but our record against our division is sub par. That is concerning and needs to change.

I'm sure the Leafs will win, but I would like to see them win 2-0 or 3-2 rather than 7-4 or 6-3. I hate these games against bottom-feeders because the Leafs usually make them more sloppy than they need to be (like the Arizona game last week). I don't want to see a 9-2 game - just an efficient, low-scoring grinding game.
That's a bingo.

If the Leafs interest level in playing this game matches my enthusiasm to watch it, it's going to be a rough one.
ya ya......everyone shows up to play the Leafs. Maybe the Leafs should show up to play their divisional rivals a little more often.

So just like last time
I'm expecting a win though. If the team has any pride they'll avenge the last outing.

I am just hoping we go out there and learn some lessons
Leafs just have to find a way to win. They've played really well for a while but that game last night was the same ol I expect against Boston.
Beat Buffalo tomorrow and then f*** up Boston in their barn.
This team seems so fragile sometimes. I don't think as bad as past years due to some of the newer guys here but they really need to stop losing to Boston and letting places like Buffalo matter at all.
Get back on a winning streak starting tomorrow.

Leafs played great when when Reilly was out……just saying.
They are mentally fragile for sure. There is none of them that is battle hardened

Reilly has been horrible for awhile now.
He played great against TB last year hope that version starts to show up.
Our #1 D mirrors the fragility of our D group.
Well that is true when he was out on the suspension but I'm still a fan of Mo. He'll elevate in the playoffs and he still is one of the only guys who has a heart on this team love him or hate him.

I noticed against the Rags we were slipping back into the bad habits we had cleaned up while he was suspended. Hopefully they get back to the attention to detail style. It was nice to see.

Fair but look at the competition of who we’ve played with him in vs out
Out: ducks, blues x2, flyers, coyotes
That’s 1 playoff team, 1 bubble team, 2 bottom feeders
In: Vegas x2, Avs, Coyotes, Rangers, Bruins
That’s 4 playoff teams, 3 teams ahead of us on the standings even, and a bottom feeder
So obviously quality of opposition played a bit into how well we were able to play, considering the one playoff team we played without Rielly, we blew a 3-1 lead before securing it in OT
This isn’t to justify Rielly’s play so far, he’s been mediocre since coming back, but i don’t like the argument that we were just better without him, the team tightened up against weaker teams because they were missing their #1 D.
He needs to be better, especially with his decision making in the dzone.

I agree that they tightened up when he was missing so that begs the question, why the hell did they loosen up when he got back? That’s what’s so frustrating. We have seen how well they can be but it’s only when they feel like it, this is why so many fans do not like this core.

If they choke again this playoffs, he’s a guy I’d look hard at trading, he’s a good player with good value, but he’s a black hole on the defensive side of the game, plus it’s been proven more than once that they can win without him…….

In 99 I sat at the bar in the Embassy Suites in downtown Denver with a heavyset guy, watching the Leafs lose game 5 to the Sabres. He explained in great detail how the leafs couldn’t break out and were hope,easily out coached.
Game ends, he turns around and tells 3 young 30 something guys to hit the hay. One of them was Brett Hull. Turned out I was getting colour commentary from Ken Hitchcock.

Another point by Boston, and another 2 for Florida last night. Looks like 3rd is our spot unless inexplicably Tampa or Detroit catch us.
