Looking forward to it. Feels like it was super long already.

Hopefully they can win both these. Don't look past any of them but the next 5 are all winnable. Not saying they will but it'd go a long way to getting home ice.

Go Leafs Go

I am guessing 3-1-1.

In the prediction thread I will have the Leafs winning all 5 but I doubt it happens

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Next 5 games

Columbus x2
Chicago x2
Montreal x1

God we better start picking it up against the bottom feeders.

The Leafs had home ice against Columbus, Montreal and Tampa Bay the past 3 playoff seasons.

Just saying.

No... they haven't faired well obviously but I'd rather they have home ice over not having it.

2 more Sleeps! How I will wake up on Fri Morning knowing the leafs are back!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Go with Sammy on Friday and Woll on Saturday if Murray is still injured.

Two games against the Jackets and Hawks with a game against Montreal in there .. So probably like a 1-2-2 record

And this is who I want to wake up looking at ….

 

[Aashir]

These 5 games we should pull away from tampa a bit, at least grab some breathing room.

Should go like 4-1-0 but we will go like 2-2-1

 

[Niagara Bill]

I hope this break has allowed Bunting the time to shut his mouth and play.
His mouth serves nothing but to wake up the other team and gives them the emotion of hate to play harder. The refs are fed up with his antics, and so am I.
Let Columbus sleep

Next 5 games

Columbus x2
Chicago x2
Montreal x1

Split with C-Bus, split with Hawks, Lose to MTL. One of the losses will be in OT.

2-2-1.

 

[ACC1224]

Split with C-Bus, split with Hawks, Lose to MTL. One of the losses will be in OT.

2-2-1.

5-0.
Team is going to come back re-focused and rejuvenated.



Yeah right, who am I kidding!

Its hard to image the Leafs losing any of those games, even without Matthews.

Next 5 games vs the worst teams in the NHL.

Agree 100%

However as history has shown us, it makes little difference in a positive outcome despite the advantages it that come with it, with this coach and this team.

The regular season results have been reduced to simply making the playoffs with this team, because even as series favourites with more points and home ice advantage, it doesn't benefit the team.

Maybe playing on road is less pressure for this group, then in their home arena.

Feels like ages since I've watched hockey....

And we already know our opponent, thanks NHL!

Outside of the TDL it's going to be a snooze fest the rest of the way

Its possible:
Coming back from the beach
back to back
Chicago plays us into weird games...but we win
Montreal maybe a loss.

At this point I will take OT loss to the Habs...anything to keep Bedard from being a Hab
