Just got beat by a team who loads up one line, forgive us for thinking it may work in Toronto.
Exactly, let's eliminate some of the top teams points wise ASAP. It's bad enough that there were upsets in the 1st rounds under the old playoff scheme.I will say this
This playoff format SUCKS!!!!
105 points with no home ice and you face a 112 point team in the first round
Just brutal
There's no way of knowing we would have lost to Pittsburgh?In the 1-8 format we would've faced Pittsburgh and lost so the format wasn't the issue.
both Matthews + Marner said they want to play more together next year.
When we shut down that line, we beat them. It's playing with fire if you ride or die with 1 line.Just got beat by a team who loads up one line, forgive us for thinking it may work in Toronto.

The NHL NEEDS to go back to 1 verses 8, 2 versus 7 etc. in the 2 conferences!
After a 105 point regular season, our Leafs deserved to have home ice advantage in the 1st round! Not that we would have had it this season!
Yes I would have rathered Pittsburgh. I didn't say we feared anyone, but the stats and standings say that Boston and the Leafs were both better teams than Pittsburgh this season, I don't care what they did the past 2 seasons. I think we could have beat them and we also would have had home ice advantage.So you'd rather have played the champs from the last 2 years? Nashville and Winnipeg aren't complaining they're actually pumped for that series. The Jets were even chanting it. Great teams fears no one and makes no excuses.

Agreed, but I'd argue the Leafs have better depth than the Bruins. At the very least we would have two very capable lines, and most likely it would be 3 good lines.When we shut down that line, we beat them. It's playing with fire if you ride or die with 1 line.

Doesn't feel like someone that he will or wants to be back? That is a bizarre way to answer that question question.
