If he was healthy and had played himself into game readiness, I’d take him over any of them. Of course in order to get game ready, he’d probably re-injure himself.

On Woll vs Sammi, it seems pretty clear that Keefe hasn’t decided which is while they’ll split the remaining games. Unless Woll shows himself demonstrably better, Sammi would likely get the nod because of experience.

Sammys playoff record and stats suck.

His experience has been pretty bad.

Woll in a small sample size has been better.

Woll looked locked in and healthy last night...if they both get 6 games down the stretch I am pretty comfortable saying Woll will outplay him.

Or we can see Sammy getting blown up game 1 like last year again, always fun.

I should make multiple versions of this meme. If the Leafs put distance behind them, the Lightning logo gets smaller in the mirror. If the Bolts gain ground, the logo grows.

I trust Wedgie's mathenating though. I don't expect the Lightning will catch them, but it's fun to introduce some suspense, even if it's mostly imaginary.

If tampa takes those 2 games, oh boy.

If Tampa gets Vezina caliber Vasi, I like their chances in those two games.

If not, I think it's a toss up.

Lightning are no longer the juggernaut and the Leafs are deeper.

I agree with the sentiment - they still almost pulled it out and with some puck luck maybe would have. I don’t think the full 60 was bad at all especially against a team as good as that. But the lapses were awful and those simple things that they do a lot unfortunately.

But it was the way they played. They lost because of the lack of structure in their play defensively. Some Leafs fans are just chirping cause they are hyper critical - but the knock of the inconsistent play is correct to me. They seem to be able to pull a couple together or even a stretch. To me though the playoffs require a consistent dedication to playing within a structure and stick to it game in/out.

I hope they find their rhythm playoff time or at least manage to string together a run of solid games at both ends.

the 0 for 4 on the PP partially killed the Leafs as well.
Get 1 or 2 PP goals, this game is different.

Tampa is 4pts back of the leafs.
Leafs have a game in hand.
Two games left against each other.

Should be fun

Let's hope it doesn't matter. I don't really feel like swapping to the rangers or something. I think if the leafs can keep Boston out of their heads they can easily beat them.

When you first posted this scenario a week or so ago, i thought no way.
But theyve closed the gap.
Hope it doesn't occur and the leafs keep the lead.

But it could get interesting

Yup. Does special teams so important playoff time. Leafs are certainly missing Marner on those for sure. I’m not sure where there PK has been all season but never looked in sync to me all season even with Marner. I could be incredibly wrong though…the PP has been hero or zero it seems.

Fans of 31 other nhl teams may not be able to get enough of the constant TO media chatter about AM and his quest for 70 goals, but as a card carrying Leafs fan I can’t take it anymore!!

In Woll we trust 💙

Weather is pretty nice today. Shouldn't you be shaking your fist at some clouds before your nap?

I don’t think most leafs care that much about it. We just want to win in the playoffs. Oilers fans seem to put alot of stock into personal stats.

Cool but bottom line is that Keefe hasn’t decided and is playing his goalies 50/50 to get them both in a position to start game 1.

Meh, it doesn't happen often.
Besides if it were any other player they would be discussing it often as well.

Are we really complaining about 70 goals?

Great if he can accomplish it but no one gives a poop if it ends in a 1st round loss.

Agree mostly. The play that really hurt was on the power play JT with the puck behind the net, his stick is broken/slashed whistle goes, and the ref changes his mind.
a) because Leafs are not allowed 5 on 3 PP's
b) ref checked his pro-line ticket.
