With a big win, the Leafs are moving up the standings.
Now tied with Montreal, although they still own the tie-breaker....
its progress.

Road to Stanley goes through Amalie Arena.

 

[leafsfan5]

Same 4 as last year, but Buffalo/Ottawa will close the gap

Next year is when we start to see some change, imo

whats the magic number??

Boston and Florida are such wild cards for me.

Boston because of the injuries/age and Florida because of their poo defence. you never know

Not necessarily in order:

3 teams-TOR/TB/FLO
4 teams-TOR/TB/FLO/BOS
5 teams-TOR/TB/FLO/BOS/OTT

Over twenty percent of voters on the Leafs board, didn't pick the Leafs. What a fine bunch we have in here.

I get the feeling 50% of our traffic are trolls with "Leaf fan accounts" or just straight up other fanbases enjoying the succulent drama.

It's early, but I didn't vote for TOR.

I hope to god I'm wrong because I don't support anyone else.

It sucks I know, but they have to be better.

The return of Martina Ortiz Luis!

Updated it with some more stats, context just within division.

Look like Montreal might be riding some opportunistic scoring and hot goaltending, similar to the Jets teams of the past.

Florida is the opposite - very good 5v5 play, should have more points.

Detroit is a lot like Montreal, the underlying numbers make me think they might start to fall.

One thing that could turn the season around:

The return of Martina Ortiz Luis!

Your kidding. The last thing we need is another small, soft, lightweight, skilled, perimeter player.

 

[Fogelhund]

It's early, but I didn't vote for TOR.

Everyone misses her no doubt but the new girl has done a decent job.
No one can replace her though. I'm sure she'll make the odd appearance.

I mean posters are allowed to pick who they think makes the playoffs, not picking the leafs because of the start they have had is there right no? im a leaf fan never picked them im not convinced they are a playoff team right now.

Every team in the East except Boston is within 2 games of the Leafs.

 

[Nineteen67]

I’d love to see the Sabres make it. I get the feeling they’re going to surpass TB and Boston and become the big dog in the Atlantic in the near future.

 

[GoonieFace]

I think they make the playoffs, but I don’t want them to. This franchise needs a cleansing and this might be the only way
