The Sens did have a DMan playing better than any D I have seen in my lifetime. - RogerRoeper
I'm not a fan, but he did have a great playoff.
They were also luckier than any team I have ever seen. Literally everything went their way.

there have been one or two moments in the year when they looked like they were playing to their potential but not nearly often enough.
That is what makes me think the team is still a year or two away.
They have to hope some players make the same progression that we saw out of Kadri.
Also, teams that win cups have their veterans as their best players. Leafs need some time to get there. - Aetherial
The plus side is, they do have a really good record against top teams. Tampa actually is worse against top teams and allows more goals against despite all the non-stop talk of the Leafs D.
It is possible thsi team simply does play better and more consistent in the Spring when the real season starts. |

Very true.
Best thing I see from the Leafs perspective right now is Nylander. He has looked really good at times the last couple games.
It may be time to move him back up with Matthews, who obviously isn't enjoying the same progression in his play.

Yeah, Nylander is a blue chip talent. He will get hot at the right time.
6.9 will look like a steal within a year. |

Agree - it was frustrating, especially watching him in the first 15 games, but what a beauty goal last night.

I agree that they are overachieving but they have they do have some talent. Put Gallagher and Weber on the Leafs and I think they are true contenders.
Domi and Drouin are OK pieces, probably not as good long term as they have been. Kotkaniemi looks like the real deal... reminds me a bit of Koivu. - Aetherial
Every team has some pieces.
I hope Philly keeps it up and the Bruins get their shot together.. Habs are punching above their weight, I suspect theyâll fall!! đ |

Flyers are only 6 points out of a wildcard spot, but there are 2 teams ahead of them. Their chances are marginal. Hard to imagine the Habs missing the playoffs - well coached, great goalie, stud d-man, playing well as a team.

Itâs the NHL..
Anything can happen.
I think how the habs play their next game will say a lot for how the rest of their season goes. If they lose, the seed of doubt will be sowed. |

Love the trash talking by Leafs fans. Doesnât matter if they play Montreal or Boston in the first round - they likely win that series. They will be ousted by Tampa in round two. |

Tampa and Leafs would be a great series - love that sour Habs fans assume Leafs would be easy prey for Tampa. Bring your speedo.

Gotta love how the Leafs live rent-free in the minds of all the other fan bases. |
