10pm start in the Maritimes, hoping Leafs score 4 in the first so I can go to bed at a decent time.

They do work hard. I’ve found myself quite enjoying their games this season.
I sometimes wonder if people that are extra high on the Leafs actually watch many games not involving them.
It would explain a lot.

Anyway, like you say Calgary won’t be giving them easy points, they’ll need to earn a victory. Plus Wolf can get into some grooves where he is exceptionally difficult to beat.
Should be a good battle.

I'm not as low on them as some people are here after some losing skids etc, but I'm no fool knowing they have some major flaws to their game. One of them is not having the ability to ever outwork the opponent (might have to do with having all the skill in the world, but fail come playoff time).

Actually I think Toronto being only 6 points from being out of a playoff spot and a bad week away from being out of a playoff spot is a good thing for them. It's going to make them have to play harder to get those points. Or they fold like a cheap tent & that might not be the worst thing for the organization.

Too many times at game 65-70 they already know who they are playing and just kind of glide into the playoffs.

GAMEDAY: Maple Leafs seek to extend solid run in Calgary

The Maple Leafs have won eight of their past 10 games in Calgary, where they will play the Flames for the first time this season.

Nope it's exactly right

Thank dog! finally no Marner which which frees the team from his infernal assisting, now Matthews can just shoot it in the net. Thinking 4 goal night for the big boy now that the albatross is off his back, he no longer has to stand around waiting all night for Marner to finally pass it to him.

Utter meaningless unless you can normalize for all the other factors such as quality of opponents, other injuries, significance of other people out of the lineup, players playing through injury, and hot/cold streaks, just to name a few.

Winner winner chicken dinner

That's some rock hard rationalizing

excellent job

You have to WANT to outwork the opponent, the Leafs can, I know because I've seen it. The problem is they don't often WANT too! It's the fatal flaw.

I have Sens seasons tickets so I see a lot of that team, if the Bud's draw them in the 1st round it could get ugly in a hurry.
