I honestly don't know of the Leafs will ever be able to develop a defenseman properly to his full potential. The market is just too rabid.

Forwards will always have fans. Goalies are a crap shoot; you just roll the dice and hope you get a winner.

But defense is such a tricky position to master, even for the most patient of teams. Top drafted d-men have a lower chance of panning out than any position it seems.
- Leeman4Gilmour

its a difficult position to learn thats for sure.

still.. kid looks pretty good... the leafs just need to be patient.. not rush anyone... they're getting better at that nowadays

3 Jets
4 Habs
5 Sens
6 Leafs

It could happen. CBC would be in heaven.
- The Law

I honestly would like it better if 5 and 6 were switched. But that's perhaps only because I'm a Senators fan in Winnipeg

Nothing's guaranteed, but this team should be in there. We've gone through the hellish part of the schedule now.

Glad to have those Boston games in the rear view mirror. Played them very respectably 4 games of 4, too.
- Leeman4Gilmour

was thinking that myself.. so long as the leafs dont let off the gas so to speak the chances of them making it are pretty good.

i just dont want to get my hopes up just yet

DIE!

YOU LIKE BIG BUTTS AND YOU ALWAYS LIE!

Leafs Brothers won't deny, that when you walk in with your itty bitty brain we get Sprung.

Wanna get tough cause we notice your ego was stuffed.

Even with the fan tag your wearing, you can't stop staring.

At perfect, oh baby

you wanna get a cup and take a picta.

this.......

Senators fans exist outside of Ottawa?

Seriously, though, I've only known one Sens fan my entire life.

i met a sens fan in alberta once.

good times..

that's exactly how i'm looking at it.

things like the schedule are positives, but it's one game at a time for me.

and games against teams like florida are a must.
- joel878

yup.. one game at a time.

the leafs this year are in the thick of it at least... which is a pleasant bonus in itself

Before the Jets got back, the only jersey/paraphenalia I noticed more often was Leafs - True story.

Canucks and Flames were both pretty popular too, but they've all been blown away by the Jets.

A lot of Winnipeggers continue to view the Senators with some fondness, surprisingly... Considering the Sens have owned the Jets thus far.

About a monthago I asked what everyone thought about the possibility of 5 Canadian teams making the playoffs and I was laughed at.

- Dozzer

exactly.

win or lose.. fun to watch a team that can compete for the first time in almost a decade.

Wow wow wow. You have the power to do something. We have just taken 3 out of a possible 4 points from the Bruins for the first time since like 1954 or something. Why in the (frank) are you letting the usual twats, so called leafs fans or not, talk bollocks. you have a duty and a responsibility to tell UG..... sorry those guys to piss off for eva.

I would have laughed too if you'd said Montreal would be one of those teams. Just goes to show ya, I guess...

Ok, no longer disturbed, just slightly aroused.

I was jamming out to Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" the other day... Hilarious (and solid) tune

and NBC would try and force an additional 5 games to be played , with the top players from each Canadian team under suspension

Kadri tries to hit Chara all game. Kessel runs away from him. It doesn't matter that he's not scoring to me. It's the fact he doesn't even compete against Chara. Same with Bozak and JVR. They should watch Kadri, Grabo and Lupul play. Those guys don't back down from anyone. Kadri is a star!

Hope Blacker plays tomorrow, not because I thought Kostka was bad though. I'd just like to see him.

Trying to remember one...err, I think it was "Pump up the Jam" was like made for 100 bucks and made millions

yup.. one game at a time.

- Dozzer

We control our own fate, at least.

Of the final 15 games, 2 each against NYR and NJ. One against Carolina.

A ton against the Southeast.

Fun fact: The hot chick with the fanny pack in that video didn't sing it... Or even speak English.

She was a Congolese model who lipped-synced it.

Fun fact II: This video has been viewed more than a million times

Apparently we have a 87.2% chance with a record of 7-8. Don't know if there is a strength of schedule rating but I guess someone less lazy than me could look at how many remaining games are against playoff teams.

15 points from the remaining games appears to be the magic number...

11 of the remaining 15 games are teams lower than us currently. The 4 other games are the Sens and Habs - two each.

We should be able to split those 4 and pick up 2 wins there. It's really just going to come down to beating teams we can beat.
