The Leafs 1.1% at winning the lottery is better than their odds of winning the Cup.
- JohnFergusonJr

how do we know what Odds the Leafs pick is at #1?

Also, an unbiased Leafs odds would probably be 3-4 at winning the cup%

It's funny, I just had this exact conversation with my daughter. She seems to think Boston got screwed in this format.

My hot take: the world is upside down. The NHL had to do something, and if fans don't like it, they can go suck an egg.

The only reason I like it is because the leafs could now theoretically get through Columbus and avoid Boston/Tampa in the next round.

I don't think so.
- TheMussel

Yeah, definitely is enough.

Still can't believe Stammer wouldn't give up the stupid sun and unbearable heat and terribly inefficient jetskis in order to play hockey in toronto
- TheMussel

Meh, we got JT.
Plus he could have had unbearable heat and inefficient jet skis in toronto for 3-4 months a year.

This is exactly how the current system works.
- Atomic Wedgie

That is exactly why there is escrow ... and why the players argument to remove escrow is essentially them asking for more money, or rather more guaranteed money, which is contrary to the whole basis of the CBA.

You missed out

Yeah, definitely is enough.
- JohnFergusonJr

mmmmm

I don't think so.

The question was which would you prefer,#1 pick or a 3rd round appearance.
Not the validity of either.

And in these play-offs who the hell (other than JFJO) knows what might happen. Who have we beaten, what upsets have happened? But we know for sure we're going to lose? That makes as much sense as trading for Doughty

Which Famke Janssen?

If the Leafs lose to the Columbus Blue Jackets, they have a 1.1% chance of getting the first pick.
- Atomic Wedgie

Much as I don't think they are ready to win a cup... if someone was to give me 98.9:1 odds on them winning, I'd put some money there.

but not much, I hate gambling.

Newsflash!
Eichel not happy with the way things are going in buffalo........and its finally raining outside

You did miss, but she won anyway

but googling Lynda Carter today was an eye opener. She truly was as hot as anyone in the bracket.

Frankly, I think the Leafs are the biggest darkhorse in the tournament. Capable of going on a ridiculous run if they can just get Freddie to play with a bit of consistency.

Plus, didn't Trump supposedly have a 1% chance to beat Hillary? We are living in a very strange timeline.

Maybe he should throw another tantrum, or chirp the Leafs fans when his team is well out of the playoffs. I have been told that is the true definition of Leadership.

Leftke or Rightke?

For sure! She was part of a string of temptresses that informed a young mjones242's, ahem, awakening.

Well the leafs would be fully healthy, as with most teams.
Anything can happen.
I just dont care to watch hockey in the summer, or not be able to watch a deep run with some pub visits or celebrate a cup win with millions of others.
So.
I was hoping for hockey to be cancelled.
But its not.

Who knows what kind of hockey this is going to be? Leafs are great at starts but these are kids so???

Rossi will be better than Ceci?

Unlikely.

Gabe Kotter knows what's going on.

Anyone can win this thing.
