Toronto looks alot like Tampa but that coach won a cup and two gold medals, Babcock can and will adjust if he sees us running a trap scheme.

Boston probably does what the jackets do , it's helping them right now slow down the leaf speedy offence.

I like the jackets, and I like Tortorella.. if it's the Leafs, it's another slugfest. Columbus reminds me a lot of a younger Bruins team, and they play a similar game.
I think the long break kills the momentum of taking down Tampa, and you will need it for either the Leafs, or the Bruins...
If it's the Leafs, go Leafs...
If it's the Bruins, go Blue Jackets.

"They have top heavy scoring with Tavares (47 goals) and Matthews (37 goals) scoring a lot of goals and secondary scoring dropping of quickly (only 3 other players with 20+ goals). "

Ummmm?

Tavares 47
Matthews 37
Marner 26
Hyman 21
Rielly 21
Kapanen 20
Johnsson 20

I think they actually had more 20 goal scorers than any team in the league. That's also not including Kadri who had an off year after back to back 30 goal seasons and Nylander who missed the majority of the season. How's that for secondary scoring?

You are right, I'm not sure what I was looking at yesterday. I must have rushed when analyzing the TOR stats. Certainly shows they are a more balanced scoring team. CBJ will have their hands full if it is TOR with more to shut down than the top three like they faced in TBL.

No he won't, he's always way to stubborn to make adjustments. That's what drives us Leafs fans crazy.

Just watch tonight.. Boston has completely owned our PK all series. And not one change will be made, I guarantee it.

leafs are the deepest offensive team in the league
they suck defensively
andersen is their mvp, regardless of what the numbers say
babcock will not make any adjustments and gets outcoached constantly.

just thought i would clear everything up for you. seeya in round 2
