Agreed. Tampa is definitely not that good.

They don't have to be as good. They have a great team and their tender just needs to do what he does and they win. It really is 50/50 because of the tending. Literally a tender that could stonewall us and then Boston right after.

I went with Leafs in 6. Results made me chuckle, we all had the same thought process. Leaf are winning this one, it will be close, ok we suck game 7, LEAFS in 6 !!! all day.


Tampa is weaker this time around. I'm still buffled they thought Palat @6mill is expansive .
 
Anyone who doesn't vote "respect in the handshake line" has no grasp on reality. 99.9% chance it will be respect in the handshake line, 95% chance it's yet another 7 game series for this core. It was another "fun" regular season, but let's not kid ourselves this time, we all know the offseason thread will be open after round 1 again this year.

They are at the point now that win or lose ‘respect in the handshake line’ is a given.

For as insane a statistical improbability it is for the Leafs to lose 5 straight winner take all games, it’s nearly as improbable that every series since 2018 has gone the distance. That trend has to end eventually, and like you I’m hoping that that means the result will favour us.
 
Leafs have to win this. To me, it's unacceptable to lose. Those that are saying "it's a coin flip" just want to excuse this core and Dubas once again. If they lose, Dubas/Keefe gotta go. Sick of all the excuses. Just get it done for once. This ain't a coin flip, Leafs have to take this. Enough. A loss shouldn't be accepted. No moral victories.

It'll be a tough series - nobody should think otherwise.

Think the Leafs in six though. Tampa is a step behind what they were and the Leafs are a stronger group than last year - even with Muzzin out.

Vasy is the only X factor that might worry me. But the Leafs are owed a bit of luck when it comes to goaltending - either ours get super hot or someone'l else's will go cold

Nothing gains respect after your team loses like setting your neighbours business on fire. Lol.

Just an observation, the games left against Bruins & Lightnings, they'll be well rested with 4 days & 2 days off respectively against us.
Things could get tight towards the end the way Lightnings are playing as of late.

For some reason Point wasn’t very good last year, buti doubt it had anything to do with the injury he sustained in game 7.

He wasn't 100% for the entire series. Game 7 was just the peak.

Muzzin took care of the rest.

This has to be a concern for almost everyone no?

This isn't minor stuff. Point @ 100% and no Muzzin is very serious factors.

Wish we could just fast forward to game 1, for better or worse.
 
Leafs in 7 only because I'm not voting against my team in the playoffs. That's absurd. You have to put it all on the line for the boys in the playoffs and save the shit talking for regular season and off-season.

Realistically though I think we're total ass compared to Tampa as far as playoff hockey is concerned (It's still regular season).

Honestly no clue how anyone can be optimistic about this team anymore. Are you all new fans in the past couple years?

People everywhere talking game 7 like its a given we make it that far. I don't see us making it past game 6 this year.

I see tonight's game caused a little snag in accumulating more Leafs in 4 members. Zero gain today. Business is slow.

I'm dying man. You run your mouth the most out of everyone but also wholeheartedly and genuinely think Leafs are sweeping Tampa :laugh:

Wtf
