I think vanecek will score before verghaegheThe offense is more concerning than giving up 3.
Sure, coasting or whatever, but it's been cold for a bit. Something has to start clicking before the playoffs. I don't believe it's something as simple as turning it on in 3 weeks without the guys putting in more effort.
I don’t know about that . I’m pulling for you guys now that you added Marchand but the Leafs seem different this year. I thought the Panthers mailed it in today . Panthers will need a healthy Tkachuck to get by Toronto or Tampa . Marchand looked a little slow to me today .Lmao. If this team plays to their capabilities that’s going to be a slaughter.
Tomorrow? IdiotDont get why we start bob when we play the leafs tomorrow
The leafs play different. They’re still the same losers. If this team plays up to their potential they are the best team in the east.I don’t know about that .

Would you believe me if I told you our goals for ranking is the same as last year? It may go down by the end of the season but it won't be by much.The offense is more concerning than giving up 3.

They definitely haven't looked as good this year but the East is terrible. Tampa looks great right now but there are no scary teams. Kuli, Ekblad, and Chucky will be huge adds (assuming he comes back). The D core is so dead it's hard to put any stock in anything.
Look guys, either they’re truly getting fatigued in which case they’ll make the playoffs and be out in first round regardless of opponent. Or they’re doing a calculated energy conservation because teams DO run out of gas in the playoffs.
Especially young teams who simply don’t have the stamina. Remember Eetu in his first playoffs? He could hardly skate anymore after the regular season was over. Barky’s first playoffs was also ruled by fatigue.
Given all the recent history, the two SCFs, and given the experience the coaching staff brings, I would be absolutely shocked if they aren’t in energy conservation mode. They’ll move from green to nuclear when playoffs start.

Our PP is 11th this season when it was 8th last year. But the dropoff is to be expected considering the absurd amount of PP goals Reinhart scored last year (also missing Tkachuk)
thanks, i worked hard for thatTomorrow? Idiot
ETA: sorry to call you by your first name Mr Stick
I don’t think this team cares about seeding tbh. This is the one year where it really doesn’t matter lol. Last year it did because we got to play a beat up Lightning. This year, the Lightning is good, Ottawa is looking pretty decent, and the Leafs you never know.I see the overall stats, and sure, they are close to last year. However, the team has scored 4 goals just once in March.
Sure, when the playoffs start, most of the time, scoring drops a tad and it becomes tigher.
Just a shame guys like CV are still AWOL from scoring like he used to.
Reinhart not repeating his goals from last year was expected to me.
They've also blown 2 goal leads and/or failed to close out games in the 3rd when tied.
This team has gone to the Finals 2x in a row, so, they aren't the spring chickens of 2015 where this is their first time playing in late april. But just stinks seeing them blow winnable games, when seeding is on the line.
Seriously, one cup and we forget everything. This fanbase was humbled for far too long to be acting this way.People need to get off their high horses with losing to Montreal. They’re a lot better now than they were over the last couple years. And we’re down some big players until the playoffs.
Make the playoffs, get healthy, and play who you have to play.
Then I can’t wait for the playoffs to start because they’ve been playing very boring hockey for weeks now.
And I will feel better when Tkachuk starts skating.
We need a healthy Tkachuk if we want to make a long run or even just win R1.
