Sabres lost in the shootout to the Wings. lol

Well, Florida exposed as the frauds they are in a 7-2 beating and Philadelphia loses huge which is good.

 

[Warden of the North]

Florida playing like absolute garbage. If not for Ceci and Hutch and Bob going Vezina for one night, we'd of crushed them.

On to better things. Sweep this weekend and dont look back.

Hopefully Florida's luck finally ran out after their 3rd period comeback against Toronto, since they have now lost 2 games in a row.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Tonight was a good night, Florida and Philadelphia lost bad,, win tomorrow and they are back in.

Huge loss for the Panthers. cancels our stinker against the rangers. Win tommorrow and satourday and pray for a Panthers loss and weve made up 3 of the 4 points we were behind going into the all star break. Thank God the Panthers play the pens who will probably look for a win after they probably lose to the bolts.

Don't forget that inbetween, the Panthers also lost to the Blue Jackets but got the loser point there. Well at least now they are only 1 point ahead of us with only 1 game in hand.

Looking at Philly and the Panthers tonight, I guess we are not the only team that get embarrassed when playing for their playoff lives (we just lost 2 games by a score of 4-3, these 2 got embarrassed tonight). Let's hope this new blue blood from LA can get us back in the win column.

Since Toronto is getting Anaheim on a back to back hopefully that will help. However on Saturday Toronto is on the second night of their back to back and Montreal will be rested, which sucks because their previous two games against the Canadiens the Leafs played the night before and Montreal did not.

Habs just lost Weber long term, I think they should now certainly be done, but they definitely tend to step up when playing the leafs regardless of how good or bad the team is

Sabres lost in the shootout to the Wings. lol

ouch our worries are nothing compared to the sabres fans they ought to be totally pissed.... dont blame them, Jack will want out soon too.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

With the FLA loss, Leafs are back to controlling their own destiny. Let's keep it that way.

Florida is a different team without Barkov in the lineup. That should be up on the board when the Leafs play them next. Put somebody on Barkov like glue and limit him as much as possible. Jeez kadri is gone lol. We really need a shut down line again. I don’t know if anybody ever remembers the concept of it ha. We need one

Love it that they got smoked and bobby bro got pulled. Hope it get into his head and he stumble for a bit here

My heart isn’t bleeding pints of purple panther p!ss for them either.lol I’m kind of rotten today maybe i should go watch a movie ha. I said earlier I’m glad Ceci is injured and i dont care because its not life threatening . Worst part is I’m feeling it. I hope every team chasing or ahead of us crumbles in a dusty waste

Maybe Kyle Clifford can go up against Barkov if you put him on the Tavares line.

Let's bring Shane Corson out of retirement...

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

All in our hands from here. If we can’t beat out Columbus, Florida, Philly and Carolina from here then what’s the point in being in the play offs anyway.

I was at this game last night, rooting for Vegas obviously.
Bobrovsky let in a stinker that just seemed to deflate the Panthers.
Sound familiar?
They actually dominated the first, but couldnt keep it up.

I was just scoreboard watching with a grin like a cat that swallowed a canary haha. I enjoyed it. I hope they implode for a bit

I think they should only focus on the Panthers for 3rd in the Atlantic, let the others fight for the WC spots. It's great that after the Panthers beat us, they have lost 2 straight and we have lost one after that. 4 points in these 2 nights will be a huge boost for us.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Maybe Kyle Clifford can go up against Barkov if you put him on the Tavares line.

Kadri would do that all day. Can Kerfoot do it? If so what wingers does he get? Kappy and Clifford?

Clifford/Kerfoot/Kapanen for a shut down line? Are they the guys that can do it, I don’t know but i would think they wouldn’t have to worry about playing physical with the big red dog on the left side.

Maybe keefe should do it. Show a wrinkle and get that defensive first mojo going in the locker room by implementing it. I wouldn’t have much confidence in doing so before Clifford arrived. Spezza could be the center also doing it.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

No need to worry about this every day. 2 wins this weekend and everything changes again. I hope we can go on a 7 game heater and give ourselves a little headway.

 

[The Apologist]

I keep saying it, we'll be there. Probably against Boston.

haha this response is simply how I felt after the last 2 games at times, its not good but its the way I feel when the leafs are on the skids, hoping for a great weekend 4 points would make me smile!

 

[Koolboss]

Wake me up when its April and Leafs are out of the playoffs for good and Dubas is fired.

Let's hope not. Tampa would be a better chance.

 

[ottomaddox]

I never cheer against the leafs. I just can't. I am not a fan of Dubas either, but his failure is an overall failure. I do appreciate him making attempts at improving the team and give him credit for that. I just don't welcome his demise like you do.
