Mike Augello: Has The Road Been Cleared For Toronto? Leafs vs. Panthers – Game 1
- mikeinbuffalo

The road has been cleared for the Leafs to have a giant asterisk engraved on the cup because they didn't play the president's trophy winner or previous cup winner.

The difference between the 16 best isn't what it was.

Parity is the way ..

G. Bettman

I can't believe the Leafs 7th game of the playoffs is against another team.

Time for Leafs to take advantage of a tired 16th seed like only the Leafs can


Let in 3 goals in the first period

The Leafs slew the dragon. And now they have a clear path to the the cup! Expect the leafs to beat the panthers in 5 , the Devils in 5 , and stars in 5 .

Put score 3 in the 3rd and 1 in OT.

The Bolts had their road to Cup smoothed out both times. Taking on Dallas or Montreal in the Final is far from a worst case scenario. (No offense Scabeh). Leafs could have had a rougher road this year maybe. Time for this core to take advantage.

None taken.

It's not Tampa's or Montreal's fault if the other teams failed along the way and what was left for the Bolts to beat was a Habs team completely out of gas and breaking apart.

I actually felt bad for Price and Weber after the series. Both of those guys had the heart of lions, but the Bolts were just too stacked that year.

It really was heartbreaking as both guys knew it was their last shot.

It was the end of their career and they got so close.

I never ever feel bad for any Hab.

Both Webber and Price were fine players for team Canada, but I'm thrilled they didn't win a cup. Last year or not.

He's enjoying life and showing up at different events with the Habs. Sometimes pops in at practice to see the guys and was there for the last game of the season.

Rumors are he's moving back west after this season so I don't know how long he'll stick around to team moving forward.

No. He's getting paid, so ltir. If you straight up retire, you don't get paid.

Nice. I'm getting my license for duck hunting. Gonna start eating primarily fish and birds I kill.

Who does Keefe line up against Bennett/Tkatchup? I'm thinking RoR/Bunting and McCabe Brodie get them a lot. Matthews v. Barkov .....JT/Marner get to mop up against Lundell.
