2 years ago they shouldn't have made the playoffs and over exceeded expectations. Last year they got to game 7 against the Bruins and cold have won it. This year they're top 5 in the entire league. Matthews is top 5 in goals per game.
I'd say their progression from last to first is about as good as it can get, and has exceeded all of my expectations going into the rebuild. Babcock choosing the Leafs 4 or so years ago is a huge part of that. The fact that they're top 5 in the league and people are talking about how the season isn't going very well show how far the team has come.
It's really been a fun ride since Babcock came in. - 13sundin13
First?? Theyre not "first" in anything....in theyre own division, theyre THIRD....and the only FIRST they see in the playoffs has been first round. What on earth is tbe next move for the defense once all the money kicks in next season up front, noe that Muzzin have been such a disaster? |

Who are you guys playing in the first round?
Surely that rebuild is close to finishing?
Didn't your (frank)ing rebuild start like 5 years before the leafs' did?
Like figure it out? - Cherry--Skoal

From James mirtle
William Nylander has produced at a 62-point pace the past two months, about his prior career average. Only Marner, Tavares and Matthews have scored more among Leafs forwards. Needed six weeks to get up to speed but has been fine since. Predictable. - bryant
Nice.
But what is his pace since returned? |

5th in the league
Muzzin has been great
Say all this crap if it helps you sleep at night. We will just keep laughing at you.
Us Leaf fans are happy with being a top 5 team in the league and are excited for playoffs.
Enjoy watching and cheering for the Bruins against the Leafs. I hope us Leaf fans care about them winning more than you do them losing. At this point I don’t think that’s true. |

5-5 in the last 10. Getting blown out by the worst team in the league. Falling behind in a large number of games. Having to pull your #1 goalkeeper on more than one occasion. But most of all, looking like another first roind ecit being an almost certainty - RippedFuel
Cool.
Who are you? |

Haha sorry I misspoke, I meant from last to where they are now, a playoff team with expectations. That progression has been a really fun experience as a Leaf fan. |

Absolutely...i think the Sabres are a joke. Eichel has quit and Dahlin is already broken. They are looking at at least another 5-7 years before they even get close to 8th.
I used to go to 20 games a year. Havent gone in 3 years. Joke franchise. Edmonton of the East
Best thing they could do is trade Eichel and Dahlin and reload....again |

Dude, I watch the Leafs for entertainment. As does every fan.
Boston vs the Leafs will be fun. Two even teams and a good rivalry.
Stop caring so much about a team you don’t even like. |

I come here looking for knowledgeable hockey debate...but its hit or miss...sometimes i get the knowledgable fans...other times i just get the clowns that hurl insults to cover the fact theyre overmatched.
Tonight is still to be determined |
