Like I said, 10 days from now the Leafs will be well up on Florida. Barring the unexpected, it will be Ottawa in the first round.
Post-Game Talk: Leafs smoke Flames 6-2

Good game, nice to see them getting back on track. But it was a mediocre team and I’ll feel much better if we can do something similar on Wed against a stronger team.
Some of those teams will bring an effort and play better than Calgary did tonight. The Leafs did nothing different in this game that they haven’t done in the past two weeks, however they had more room tonight.
Seriously? I thought they were a much quicker team tonight and won way more battles as a result.
Not sure which is more embarrassing - - the bandwagon jumpers chanting “we want Florida” after winning the first round, or the bridge jumper who want to blow up the most talented team Toronto has had in over 50 years.

In terms of play, Rielly is, what, the fifth best defenseman on the team now?
I don't expect him to play like he did in the '23 playoffs or anything, but if he can just be a solid top four defender down the stretch and into the playoffs, he has enough support now that he doesn't need to carry the defense.
Matthews shot is still gone, and his hands are still sloppy, despite the two goals. He can't handle passes and his one timer is gone.
He needs to get it fixed ASAP after this season is over.

Great game. Mediocre opponent, but great game by Domi and that third line. Brought the energy. I was proposing to trade Domi, glad to see him starting to pick up his play. We need him playing like this and hopefully Laughton can pick on this energy too.
Listening to TLN after dark all the callers as well as the hosts seem to think Willy is our best player and leader what a take huh?
Surgery for sure coming up
I didn't catch it all but from what I saw a much-needed solid performance and what looked like an almost-60 minute effort. A rarity for this team.
And a lesson to other teams playing Toronto: A passive PK against the Leafs - giving Mitch, AM & Willie time & space - is never a good idea. Not sure what the Flames were thinking?

All I’m going to say is, an injured AM34 is still going to pace 40g per season. That is insane. But some on this board claim he is worthless and we should get rid of him. Even more insane.
It's not pretty but I think they have to stick with the Domi-Robertson Tandem in the bottom 6. That's the only "depth scoring" this team has been getting lately
Matthews injury can be narrowed down whatever part of the body is most stressed on a vicious one-timer. He just wont fire it. Guessing back and the twisting motion.
We need offense in the playoffs, so I agree. Maybe give them Marner and see what else they can do, with a responsible winger. But I like that pairing honestly.
