Eastern Conference playoff picture: Leafs HOST Tampa Bay

[diehardleafsfan9878]

STAMMER HAS 103 POINTS HOLY CRAP

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

The leafs can win in ot tomorrow and with a Tampa lose, it will be a Leafs Bruins matchup. No need for them to lose outright just need that point for Boston.

 

[DarenX]

Wow looks like a legit chance to play Boston.

If Tampa wants the leafs they are gonna have to play one of the worst teams to finish a season off in terms of roughness.

Bruins, well I think we will know tomorrow if they want us or metro.

What a crazy year haha.

 

[Matty Sundin]

I want Boston not just because they are the “easier” team, but I want to finally beat them so f***ing bad.

 

[Chief Leaf]

If Tampa plays like this against us, I think we will do alright.

But, I really hate Boston.

Would love to watch the great hockey of Toronto and Tampa, but the Leaf in me wants blood.

Boom!
Now that's a goal!!!

 

[OVO16]

I think its Boston. Inevitable

If you can't exorcise your Demons against Boston now (With the most stacked team we've had in decades and Home Ice)......than we're never gonna beat them

 

[OVO16]

Boston is beating us tomorrow. Tampa will lose to the Islanders.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Boston is beating us tomorrow. Tampa will lose to the Islanders.

If tampa loses, Boston only needs 1 point to pass them. Boston holds the tie breaker. No way is Boston winning.

Loss in OT?

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Yeah Vasy scares the hell out of me. Please lose tomorrow.

 

[BayStBullies]

I want them simply because they are easier. Nothing against them, it's by far the hardest division in the hardest conference. Them being "easier" means little, compared to the Tampa champion squad. Keep in mind that this also sends Tampa to a different bracket.

 

[zeke]

No shame in wanting an easier opponent in round 1. We earned as much.

We'd probably have to go through the Bolts in the ECF anyways, but it would be nice not to be forced to play them right off the bat.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

I NEED us to beat Boston, the beginning of the dynasty starts with climbing our everest, and that has been the Bruins.

This is the greatest team assembled in blue and white in the last 20 years.

It is OUR time, start with righting the wrongs of the past and create our new future, our new definition, one that when people think Leafs, they think champions.

 

[Frostitute]

Ohh man was I happy to see the scoreboard after tonights games. I want us to play the Bruins in then 1st round so bad and was starting to believe it was an impossibility. Play Shally, bench our best and cross our fingers the Islanders crush the Bolts.

LFG!

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tampa will lose to the Islanders. They want to face Carolina instead of us

 

[mikeyz]

Also Krejci - notable Leafs killer.

This really isn't the same Bruins team at all. Honestly I'm kind of warming up to facing them instead of Tampa.

So if Boston beats the Leafs tomorrow and Tampa loses in any fashion, or if Boston gets 1 point and Tampa loses in regulation then Boston finishes 3rd right?

IIRC, I think Boston has the tiebreaker with more RW then Tampa.

That's correct

We're all NYI fans for a day!

They were nice enough to gives us our/their captain..

 

[Gabriel426]

How about both Bruins and TB lose tomorrow and Leafs get to play a team that lost 2 or 3 in a row heading into playoffs while the Leafs would have won 3 straight.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

It just kinda feels like fate, don’t it?

 

[Le Cobra]

for us to lose the last regular season game, we need to bench Matthews Marner Tavares Nylander and start Hutchinson better yet the zamboni driver

 

[OVO16]

Islanders will most likely wanna treat their pathetic fanbase to one more win before ending the season. I think Tampa most likely loses tomm. Have to assume they're resting some main players too.

Dont know whats gonna happen in the Toronto/Boston game. We gonna trot out the marlies so idk

 

[ErnieLeafs]

The only worry I have about Boston is how dirty they play, and the refs let them get away with it in the playoffs.

 

[taurine330]

I want us to beat Boston. Just like Washington finally head to beat Pittsburgh.

Islanders can’t even improve their lottery position. I can see this being their “Stanley Cup” this season beating the cup champs on the last day before their sunmer.

I don’t mind facing Tampa, but Boston would be sweet to beat finally. Bring on whoever, getting out of the East is going to need a few tough series wins regardless.
