The Leafs will win either series without question but Montreal is more likely to throw them a scare. Winnipeg is an absolute tire fire right now and they don’t have time to turn it around.

I'm scared of the playoffs regardless. It's the Terror That Unites Us All.

He could get traded to Boston and end up on a line with Marchand...

Allan is the reason why the Leafs didn't get the W.

Marner and AM34 somehow messing up a 2-0 breakaway in the OT frame didn't help either.

- mjones242


Suzuki's line grossly dominated the matchup vs Tavares's line during the game. Pretty much put all the leafs offense on the Matthews line.

Sure, in most cases that could still fetch a win but being a one line team just can't work all the time.

The game never should have gone to OT, and Marner and/or Matthews should have ended it. Not sure your hatred for Nylander is warranted here.

Campbell back to his old self after one game? A little recency bias maybe?

Jets vs Leafs would be a pretty entertaining series IMO. There seems to be some real dislike brewing on both sides that could make for some fun games. Leafs vs Habs would be classic.

I don't care who they play in the first round, as long as they make it out of it.

Jack Campbell is 15-2-2, with .925 sv% and 2.11 gaa.

The narrative that he “is back to his old self” is so franking stupid it hurts my ass.

This is why Leafs fans can’t have nice things.

Thought Campbell played well yesterday.

Stopped a few quality chances.

If it's about the last goal, Suzuki just cost him a fraction of a second by faking a shot and passing it to Danault. It made the difference.

Habs couldn't scored 5v5 but were bailed out by some highlight reel goalie-ing.

Leafs looked like they were sleepwalking.

On to the next one!

I say the same things about the Habs.

The positive side is we want and expect the best.

The negative is we never let them forget that we want and expect the best 24/7.

Leafs third line has been no show, but 4th line has made up for it. Hyman’s return, assuming that Foligno is ok means one of them and maybe Nash if they want to keep the 4th line together end up on 3rd.

Obviously, other options are available when you add those two

As much as it's a blow to the team for sure, Foligno didn't get the Leafs into first place. He's an added bonus. Leafs will be fine. (Until you play the Habs in the playoffs.)

I know, but he provides more options. We probably won’t get to play the Habs now: Jets, then Oilers. That amazing pretend rivalry will have to wait

Reading the comments here, you'd think he'd low bridged the guy. Wilson gave him a love tap when he was down. He rag dolled Panarin cuz the guy jumped on his back.

Not you Jones, but all these other people, crying like a bunch of flunkies who worked in some government safe space.
