Beat everybody. This losing to play a certain team is silly. These guys need to start winning things that are meaningful and to me it starts with division champs (in a real season). After that beat everybody that comes their way. Do nothing but win.I wouldn't be upset if we lost this game.
I agree. Regardless they will have to beat Florida and or Tampa along the way.Beat everybody. This losing to play a certain team is silly.

I'm with you. A win tonight is huge, these are statement games.Beat everybody. This losing to play a certain team is silly.

Only 6 games remaining and will be playing for keeps in two weeks time.
This is where we need to see our core finally rise up and carry the team to a championship.
Noone league wide really believes they can do that and lets be honest, most of our fanbase doesn't either, so this group needs to go out and take it.
Our desperation and intensity needs to higher than any team we come up against.
I dont think Florida is messing around trying to intentionally set up a matchup against us but regardless, go into their building tonight. lay a beatdown and send a message that this year is different.
Winning the division is big, who cares who we face. That is a confidence boost alone because we have never done it and never been a clear favorite in recent memory (Habs series Matthews was 22...). These guys are in their primes now, clearly established, with a vet supporting cast and a vet coach who has a cup, with the most leadership on the bench ever.
This is it. This is the year. We are better than everyone else in our division. I hope each one of them doesn't take us seriously and I hope the Panthers actually tank to face us
I even wore my Leafs jersey to a home game, and they won... that's never happened before. Hell, if I wear it at home before this year, they've never won.. but it's happened several times this year. The curse is lifted!!
And it’ll be the cup winning goal too. It’s meant to beI knew this was the year when the first goal of our season was scored by #67 Max Pacioretty
I hope this game is as good or better than their last meet up, I missed that due to having no power, they better not lay a egg tonight. Imo, tanking for any reason is unacceptable in professional sports especially with the amount of betting that goes on these days………The same final score, in our favour, as the last game would be nice.
At some point Florida is going to end their losing streak, but I'm not sure this will be the game. I could see Florida losing this one in OT, and then winning a few games after that to break their slump.I hope this game is as good or better than their last meet up, I missed that due to having no power, they better not lay a egg tonight.

Tommorow's game vs Tampa should be better, especially if Leafs lose in regulation tonight.I hope this game is as good or better than their last meet up, I missed that due to having no power, they better not lay a egg tonight.

Panthers HC Paul Maurice announces Sam Bennett will be rested for the rest of the regular season. Reinhart, Barkov, and Forsling are all slated to return tonight against the Leafs.
They play Sunday at 5? Has the NHL never heard of The Masters?So we really can’t recall anyone? The whole roster will have to travel and play in Carolina on Sunday at 5pm on a back-to-back? That would be brutal.

The NHL hasn't heard of anything, probably why they get rinsed constantly on marketing and promoting the league.They play Sunday at 5? Has the NHL never heard of The Masters?
Come on, the Leafs are not going to fall to a wild card spot. I get being antsy about Tampa (even though I don't think there is any reason to worry), but a wild card spot? Not a chance.Nothing is in the bag yet. We haven't won the division and we could slip a wild card spot if the team doesn't play well.
We should try to win every game, just try not to get injured.
