Glad the Habs got a point.

I wanna face them 1st round.

The NHL created this format for rivalry’s....meanwhile fans are getting bored with the same damn 1st round matchups every year.

Meh
Bored of the habs as well. Be careful what you wish for.
Leafs have played two different teams the past two playoffs.

Every Leafs goal looks like a jerking off contest in Augello's thread... I'd say we're pretty moderate.

I don’t know, Austin kinda looks the same ilk as Laine at the moment. Streaky offensive guy.

Marner seems justified in his belief he is as good as Matthews. At the moment.

- gamerdoc


Marner is better than Matthews. I don't see how anyone can argue that he isn't.

Well leafs better come up with a good reason to argue otherwise. Or else they are screwed with another $11M contract.

Babcock wants safe hockey, he's said repeatedly.

Watching the pp continue to do what isn't working and seeing them not be creative and not move from the same spaces, sure seems like that quote isn't far fetched.

When I watch these pp I'm seeing exactly what was described, so not at all surprised based on all that that the coaches are saying exactly that.

They have the talent to have an awesome power play.

The problem is that as soon as they go on the powerplay, they stop moving and dont win any puck battles.

Nylander has been improving steadily the last 4 or 5 games!

So how do we get rid of Zaitsev this off season? Who’s gonna be crazy enough to take on 4 remaining years at $4.5 M?? Sadly, we will still need him in the playoffs this year. Would we have to add an asset, picks,?

exactly, not enough movement when on the powerplay... at the beginning of the season the amount Rielly and Marner had at the top is pretty indicative.

Nearly identical PPG.

Marner plays with Tavares.
Matthews plays with Kapanen.

I'm guessing they hang onto him... because they probably expect him to better when he isn't paired with the Gambler...

Neither would Toronto.
So we have a mutually agreed upon no trade.

Add Werenski for Zaitsev and it's a deal.

Loved the Petry stick smash on the crossbar after JT sends us home happy.
