[POLL] Is Toronto going to make it out of the first round?

[SensFactor]

Going to be a close series IMO Leafs in 6 ot Sens in 7

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Ottawa kind of owns them this year. So I'll go with them.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

How is it not going to be Toronto/Ottawa?

Ottawa is locked into WC1.
Panthers can’t win the Atlantic now it’s down to Leafs or Tampa. Leafs are 4 points ahead of Tampa.

Yeah Tampa could still win the Atlantic but with Toronto already 4 points ahead in crunch time…

I’d say with 95% certainty it will be Leafs/Sens in round 1.

I’m betting Leafs and Sens fans know this and are getting ready for each other.

Tampa also has a game vs. the Cats, who are resting forwards and have plenty of top players injured.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Is this some weird reverse jinx post?

Ottawa will beat the Leafs.

Not a reverse jinx, we're burnt toast

 

[DueDiligence]

What will the excuses be if the Sens don't win the series?

Young team that needs to learn how to win in the playoffs. On the other hand some teams never learn how to win like the Leafs.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Not a reverse jinx, we're burnt toast

No we're not. We're a team.

 

[Seras]

they winning the cup baby

 

[MCR74]

Young team that needs to learn how to win in the playoffs. On the other hand some teams never learn how to win like the Leafs.

So if the Leafs win, they don't know how to win in the playoffs? Sens logic 101.

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Leafs will make the SCF. They will lead the SCF 3-0 before imploding and being shutout in game 7.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Leafs will make the SCF. They will lead the SCF 3-0 before imploding and being shutout in game 7.

What's your f***ing problem, man

 

[34]

look at this, Toronto is the only team that gets its own thread already lol

Rent free

 

[HomeNylander]

If we beat the Sens I hope Tampa beats Florida because we can beat the Lightning not as optimistic when it comes to playing the Panthers

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Leafs caught a massive break by Boston missing the post season.

 

[MCR74]

Didn't take long either.

 

[Bradely]

Yes because Boston won't be there.

 

[Aashir]

Leafs will make the SCF. They will lead the SCF 3-0 before imploding and being shutout in game 7.

at this point ill f***ing take that

at least we get 3 series wins

It's less as a "rent free" thing and more of a funny 58 year old ongoing meme that the Leafs can't win in the playoffs. It's like Christmas, it comes every year.

It's a Leafs' fan who started it... no other fanbase is that self centered.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Leafs caught a massive break by Boston missing the post season.

lmao... they would destroy BOS this year. They went 3-0-1 against them in the season.

Conversely, they were 0-3 against OTT.

I would admittedly much rather have them face BOS than OTT.

Realistically, they only lost that series last year because of injuries (Nylander missed three games, Matthews got sick/hurt in the middle and McMann missed the entire series) and since their PP was absolute trash. The way BOS played toward the end, I knew FLA would take them out easily, and after they lost their first game of this season to FLA, I said I could see them missing the playoffs this year.

 

[swiftwin]

This has become the defacto Sens vs Leafs series thread.

Can the mods open up the real series thread already? The odds are 97.9% at this point.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Sens beat the Leafs and then I wake up and it's April 21st, 2004 and have to go to school.

 

[leafsfan5]

They treat it like a divisional/provincial rival, and a 4 point swing game, like all teams should do lol.

Just like the battle of Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Alberta etc teams do.

You dodged the question , why is it that crazy?
I just showed you the stats, since March 1 and December 1.

Yeah they really don't, there's no 4 point swing with a team far below you in the standings

Toronto cares about games against TB/FLA/BOS in the Atlantic. They haven't cared about Ottawa for years. With that said, that will likely change if Ottawa can become a consistent playoff team

 

[Adrianopolous]

Ottawa has no playoff experience. I am concerned about that

 

[MessierII]

Ottawa has no playoff experience. I am concerned about that

Yet somehow the pressure is still on the other team. They drew the Atlantic free bingo card. Go directly to the second round. Do not collect 200 dollars.

 

[Czechboy]

I absolutely love the leafs in the playoffs

If they want to win 16 games and hoist the cup I will enjoy it and cheer to the end.

If they bow out in Round 1 for the 10th time, I will laugh my ass off.

Must see TV IMO
