Who wins the Atlantic?

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

It's a trap. The Lightning have gone out in the first round the last three playoffs so they could get rested up for the big push this year. Go Bolts.

Maybe, but the lightning have more or less the same inner core, and you can't roll back the accumulated clicks on the odometer even if the car stayed more idle in recent years.
 
This idea that fatigue carries over months of offseason into the following season and across multiple years is complete bs anyway. It’s an excuse and nothing more.

The number of additional games these teams have played vs say clubs who make the final 4 year after year and nobody makes the same claims about is fairly negligible.

Toronto will win the division. Florida's bigger concern will be whether they see Tkachuk on the ice before September.

The last three playoffs were 2024, 2023, and 2022. Though to be fair, if I were a Bolts fan (which I sort of am after Utah), I'd probably be trying to forget what happened in 2022.

You appear to have succeeded in that endeavor. :P

So we agree that the past isn't relevant to current teams. So now can we drop past failures of the Leafs teams when talking about current players?

I don't know where you learned how but where I come from 87 is = to 87.

And seeing as both teams have 87 points they are tied.

If they remain tied after game 82 at that point you need a tiebreaker but as of today they are tied with 87 points

The tiebreaker is in effect at all times to determine the standings. The waiver order goes by these tiebreaker rules.

Pointless win, means nothing in the big picture. You are running into a hot team playing playoff like games to make it in the wild card spot.

Ottawa definitely has that “we’re gonna play over our heads and be a Cinderella team” vibe going on.

I don't know if they are a Cinderella. They've been priming for the playoffs for at least a couple years now and haven't met their own expectations since then.
