Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Flames

[Evilhomer]

By some miracle florida has lost b2b games

We also have 2 games against them in the next month and another against tampa. If we don’t win this division somehow, I’ll be waiting to blow this core up by end buzzer of game 4-7 of the first round.

The Leafs will win the division and beat Ottawa in the first round. Best case is that Tampa beats Florida in the first ronud so that the Leafs can play Tampa in the second round.

Idk this team has been way too ass the past couple months for it to be a guarantee

Even in the past we’ve choked 1st/2nd away in this division when we were a good regular season team

It starts with this Calgary game though, which they need to win

LMAO

Season ticket holders are the only people dumber than MLSE.

The Leafs will win the division because Tampa isn't good enough and Florida is banged up and doesn't care. The Panthers are in full coast mode.

Time to give the net back to Woll and give him a chance to run with it. Stolarz has been shit and Woll was awesome for a while

just rotate IMO, both have been ass for a while now so whoever catches fire first can be the guy you go with down the stretch and maybe the playoffs if they continue to play well

The only people dumber than Trump are the people who voted for him. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Yeah I saw the way they coasted right past us for an easy win the other night. IIRC we were 100% healthy while Florida was not, I can only wonder how badly they would have pounded us had they cared.

Rotate because why burn anyone out before the playoffs? I'll bet Stolarz starts game one though.

Would be hilarious if Sens catch Panthers and drop them down to WC2 spot.

This is the most positive, optimists take possible. If the first thing is true and we win the division, it'll be a miracle. If the 2nd thing is true, and we draw Ottawa, they always match up well against us, so feels like another miracle would be required.

Then, given those 2 feats are achieved - we'd need Tampa to beat Florida - and that's where I start to believe. I think these guys can actually beat Tampa, cuz that lil bit of belief from beating them before (twice, if you allow JTs 2nd series winner to count, instead of Justin Holl being a dolt) - is just enuff to get this fragile team to beat them again.

I guess I just think we're more likely to see Tampa in the first round, hope that the above stands true - then walk into a matchup in the 2nd round with Florida, or whoever beats Florida.

Leafs WC spot this season.

A decade ago we played Washington and defied expectations.

How poetic if its this arc that rallies the Team

1 Bolts
2 Cats
3 Sens
WC Leafs
