Tuesday's perfect as that extra day of rest for the Leafs may be more of a factor with a quick turnaround.

Also, anything to keep these playoffs from going until the end of June. The fact the second round isn't even started as of May 1st is crazy.

Watching the way Florida attacks...

The Leafs better figure out how to properly support a breakout if they want any chance against the Panthers.

That being said, Florida's going to come in with a ton of momentum. Hopefully the Leafs can take advantage of the fact that they had the extra day, and start on time.

Oh man just realized how much Paul Maurice is going to milk the media scrums and press conferences with his sweet talking skills :laugh: :laugh:

No Holl, I think we'll do well.
 
So you are clear, the buyout for Murray next season is a measly $680K and $2M in 24/25.

They are not giving up a 1st round pick to move Murray.

Now that you know, do you really believe they are parting with a 1st rounder rather than a buyout?
That $2M is 100% necessary and not even a discussion imo. I believe the Sandin trade was specifically to return a 1st to be used on improving our cap.
 
We need Nylander to step up here, he produced last series but was nowhere near as dominant as he needs to be

There will be more open ice this series so he should be able to do well

The Panthers are a good team, we're better though.

Even game 6... the Leafs were constantly shovelling the puck out or to the line, just for Tampa to regain possession because they didn't support their breakout properly.

Adjustments will be made I'm sure and we only played 1 game with possibly our best line up. I'll be concerned if we go down 2-0 in the series but I think we'll be fine.
 
Call me crazy but is anyone actually terrified of the remaining eastern teams?

Florida
Carolina
NYR/NJ

Is this an easier path than the 2021 Canadian division?

Habs faced Leafs, Jets then Knights.
Leafs could face Florida, then Carolina/NYR/NJ

No Tampa and No bruins.

We have always said if these 2 teams are outta the way and if the Leafs can play 2 way hockey and have some big boys hit and fight…

The path is easier no doubt.

With that being said, Florida is looking pretty good. But we just beat Cooper and Tampa

Can’t wait for this series. We play well in Florida!!!

NYR worries me, Shesterkin + great finishing talent is a lethal duo come playoff time. Florida is also a solid team, I think we're going to have a lot of issues with their forecheck. It provided us problems during the regular season and it's only going to get stronger come playoff time.

But overall I'd say we're the top team in the East at this point
 
Shesterkin
Thats the one goalie left who could steal games.
No Tampa and No bruins.

Carolina put in Anderson in game #7, Devils and Panthers switched mid way.

Habs faced Hellebuyck, Fluery, and Vasilevskiy
