is anyone saying the Leafs are cup favorites?

I mean leaf fans?

He has them and the Sabres in the finals.

Just like every year.

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”

Carlos Castaneda, Leafs very special teams coach

Vegas will beat out Colorado to take that division.

Jesus, did you not read my predictions in the prediction thread?

I thought that was cheating. I just read Max’s to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Turns I’m very, very sane

We’ve already lost two wheels!?!?!

Avs better hope they get Mackinnon and Makar healthy soon.

Zezel has it tattooed on his ass.

Roeper has 4 tats already and he's adding a 5th one soon.

Dubas has made some bigger moves leading upto the deadline like Muzzin. I don't think it's coming this year.

Just a feeling. Could be wrong.

Deadline. Muzzin. I see what you did there.

Too soon. The body is still warm

Just like they were when we didn’t get Pietroangelo. There was so much sadness

Trade deadline will be 8 hours of the TSN and Sportsnet guys declaring the Penguins the Stanley Cup champions for acquiring Bobby Ryan and Luke Glendening.

Friedman already did a Tarot card thing to figure out when the Leafs trade for Taylor Bennett

His brother Sam is much better.

Considering Mike in Buffalo indicated that in this blog he was looking at forwards the Leafs may target, no, not weird.
- Atomic Wedgie

Who reads the blogs? But really fair point.

What part of the last 2 games tells you that the team is really close?

Poor Sam. I’m going to demand a trade. They either move me or maybe they’ll bring in a new coach.

“Sam, come say hi to Coach Darryl.” “I’m sorry did you just mumble something?”

3 goals and 1 assist on the season. New coach. Clean slate. Maybe Sammy Boy will be a "Sutter player?"

No, it wouldn’t be enough. A late second, 2 years of Kerfoot at $3.5 and Lili could be beaten by someone else also looking for a major add.

Hall has a full NMC. They might get offered more, but Hall will have to waive.

I only read the Leafs prospects blogs. Currently I'm reading about Korshkov. He's ranked #9.

Exactly. This team has been frequently outplayed and outworked this season by much lesser skilled teams. A hot power play and a lethal offense that can strike quickly has often carried the day.

Granted, there seems to be more commitment to play better team D and the actual d-corps has improved from last season (the right side especially) but I'm not feeling this team being 1 piece away from legit Cup favourites.

President's Trophy? Sure.

It's a competitive league. Contenders don't come out and crush teams and pitch perfect games all season. They find ways to win. Although the Leafs did totally demolish Edmonton, and they deserved a point or two against Vancouver recently. I know it's hard as Leaf fan to get your hopes up, but they are a team having their best run in a HUNDRED YEARS man. They are a contender. To say they aren't is honestly silly at this point.

Maybe. 11:01 and 11:45 in ice time first two games with nothing much to show for it.

Any team trading for Hall has to believe they have a shot at the cup

Sure, the team might believe that, still doesn't change the fact that Hall will be the one deciding which one he waives for.

“Hey Taylor, we were wondering”

“I’ll waive. Trade me anywhere.”

“We were actually just wondering if you could move your truck - it’s blocking the Zamboni doors.”

“Frank.”

We managed to convert him into a 3rd overall pick, so I believe we won that trade.

You mean hall would rather play for a last place team instead of a potential playoff team?
