Many comedians on here. Pre-season picks had the Leafs buzzing around the 8th spot. Not everyone had them making the play-offs, I'll agree with that, but I didn't see anyone saying "top pick again in 2017".

They slightly over-achieved. Congrats for being 5% better than expected.

Archangel sucks

2 things:
1) they're an old team with a number of injury prone players.
2) even healthy, they don't have the offence to compete. In a 7 game series, teams will figure out their defense, and they won't be able to keep up.

Ya they never really had a window so to speak.. Probably a good time to build a new rink to distract from the coming lousy teams.

and then when their new downtown rink still fails to sell out every game they'll blame the church. everybody is too busy going to church to make it to the game.

Hi systemtool

well personally i think my opinion is fact as usual

Sometimes you just gotta play the game to see things for how they really are. I just can't see Crosby losing 4 games in any series.

If it's a Leafs-Pens second round, I have a plan. *grabs pipe wrench*

They blame it on location.. saying there's used to driving out to Kanata and now it's too short of a commute..

We should do a playoff bracket...

'Tis a mighty fine plan.

Pre-season picks had the Leafs around 80 points, or around 13th spot, with hopes of makng the playoffs next year, so we're one year ahead.

Meh..

Pens>Caps in every way..

Pens take it again.. Probably vs NSH.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

I'd take Caps over Pens but both are great teams. Top two in the league imo

(I doubt Sestito will play, Crosby is going to have to pay)

Guys, I'm almost thinking the Caps are the team to play vs. Ottawa.

Caps are very good, no question, but when have the Caps made it past the 2nd round? They have all the pressure in the world, their window is right now, Leafs?

Nobody expected us to even be there, so we'll be loose and could give the Caps all kinds of problems.

Caps are (frank)ed, I bet some of them are crying right now.

the location excuse was always a joke to me. people take the freakin go train to see the leafs and jays from 2 hours away. if you like the sport you take the 30-40 minutes to drive there without thinking twice. there's just not a huge sens fan population there. there are probably almost as many habs and leafs fans.

Pens are faster, deeper, and have the best player in the world and they clearly know how to win. Caps have to somehow get the playoff monkey off their backs.

He was a great player, but his time is up. He'd make a great sacrifice to our Lord KOMAGOD, and his son Matthews.

GO Train? I took the freaking GO Bus to watch my one and only Leafs game.


Sens fans are wimps.
