I got let go 15 months ago. After 35 years in the investment industry, I'm retired.
Mrs. HOHO who is the regional director of investment at a major bank gave notice last week that her last day is May 1st.

Selling the house in the Beach and building a new house on 17 acres on a lake out near her family in Yarmouth NS.

Yeah, the Leafs won a game.. Woohoo.. They can only beat Tampa once, not 4 times.

Leafs beat Tampa.
Can we just enjoy the win without Uggy and Max telling us what's wrong with the team? FFS

Leafs win! Beat an elite team

other than a couple of doozies, the leafs have a relatively easy next 10 games or so, and with the Panthers seemingly losing their minds and imploding, the leafs should be fine for a playoff spot
- sensarmy_11


At this point, I would guest most of us have no idea what to expect or what is going to happen.

I think it is clear that the talent is there to contend, although a ways to go still before winning. The problem is that the effort is so sporadic that it is impossible to have any confidence in any assessment of the team.

havn't we all - hah! hang in there, 2 of last 3 were solid efforts!
- Lucas.Neilson


Let's hope it can FINALLY be sustained. JT stood out for the 1st time in a while as well. Hopefully he's out of "bland oatmeal" mode and can light a fire under the teams ass, like a captain should.

I don't like their chances against either.

On the other hand, if fully healthy, and actually motivated. It would not surprise me to see them beat either team.

The problem is they have not been healthy for even one game this year, and motivation seems to be a coin toss with this group.

Was saying that all game. Leafs and Tampa play a similar run and gun game. If the Leafs can drag them into that it's anyone's game. But once they run into a physical team, the worry seeps in exponentially.

I think they can do it as well.

With Tampa, it comes down to the play of Vasilievskiy and Andersen.

With Boston, it comes down to how many more powerplays will the refs give the Bruins before the Leafs get one PP chance?

With Florida just finishing up a long west coast road trip, the Leafs are set up to put it to them, very tough coming back to the east coast & wining that 1st game, 6-2 Leafs!

BIG 2 points

Its one game.
Lets see if they can play well defensively for multiple games...win or lose.

So what are those HB experts saying now?

11-7 record for the remainder of the season to make playoffs or what?

If we beat Florida tomorrow does it make it 9-8 since it's basically a 4 point game

Got to focus on selling the house here, building the new place, selling the Benz (as the nearest dealership is 3 hours away in Halifax) and getting a new car. But yes a boat or two is definitely on the list of things to get.

These posts ...and the replies are great

Since the Leafs coaching change they have a .634 points %. People are very pessimistic about the Leafs. Over the same time period the Colorado Avalanche have a .638 points %. People are very optimistic about the Avalanche.

Your comparing a pretty much healthy leafs to a team that’s been decimated by injuries but okay..


Say what?

this is pretty interesting. Same record...much different standings

Teams with a better pt% in the conference:
Toronto: 9
Colorado: 1

Easier to be optimistic when the road to the final doesn’t contain Tampa, Boston, and Washington/Pittsburgh
