They beat us before and i don’t think we’ve done anything since to have me believe this time around will be any different.

I would expect FLA to win as well, but I do think TOR's back-end is better-equipped to handle FLA now than it was in 2023.

Tanev is the kind of guy you want when you're playing a team like FLA. The defensive depth is better as well IMO. It sucks that Rielly has regressed so much, though.

Stylistically, it still isn't a great match-up for TOR.

Is it really though?

We are just as bad, if not worse at transitioning the puck. Tanev is hit or miss when he plays against fast physical forechecking teams in terms of moving the puck. McCabe is still prone to blunders and our most consistent puck mover Rielly might be our worst.

Our forward depth imo is worse, with no acciari Oreilly and only having Laughton.

Goaltending should be better between the two of them though.

I also doubt Bob is as good as he was last time around

Yet I still don’t feel confident we’d make it past 6 games. I want first and pray we beat the sens. Hopefully them and tampa dummy each other and are hurt if we play them.

Carlo and Laughton don’t move the needle?
No, doesn’t mean they are bad adds though.

Just like ROR Schenn Acciari McCabe didn’t

Just like Giordano didnt

Just like Foligno didn’t

These aren’t bad adds either (well most of them), but if the core 4 don’t show up, then who gives af who we add. They haven’t done anything since last florida series to convince me and florida won the cup last year so….not hard to pick.
 
I'm split 50/50 to be honest. Can't decide if Florida gets swept, or manages to win 1 to stretch it to 5. Gun to my head I'll say it's a sweep.
