Fellow fans, we are in the playoffs. That is all.

That is not all. You have a heck of a rookie of the year candidate as well don't you?

We sure do. I think we have the Calder trophy winner and perhaps Coach of the Year.

Now that is a stretch. But good luck in the season that matters. Glad to see the Leafs in it again.

Thanks Danny, even if Mathews doesn't win it, we have at least three players breaking franchise rookie records. The future looks bright for a change.

Oh I think in the next 3 years they are genuine contenders. Even before.
It is that stupid salary cap going to bite them in the but. Plus with the Canadian dollar not that competitive with the US dollar it makes it rough to get players as all contacts are in US dollars. Taking in 20% to 40% less on ticket sales and using that to pay US dollar salaries is tough. It is a disadvantage not many realize. But Toronto has an advantage of being an absolutely vibrant and beautiful city with a rich hockey tradition behind it. Oh and Matthews should win it based on the first game alone! Not really, he had a heck of a season. He deserves it.

Had we beat Columbus in the final game we would be facing a series woth the Sens. But we didn't, so now we have to face the Caps.
...Not cool. |

Agreed. The Great 8 is frothing at the mouth for a cup win and he has a very strong supporting cast.
Not to mention Holtby is a shutout machine and now they've added Shattenkirk to the blueline...wow. Back to back President's Trophy winners. Im favouring them for the Cup. |

The playoff structure needs work. They are pretty much guaranteeing bad teams advancement and good teams going home first round.

Seems to me that anything other than a final of Washington or Pittsburgh vs Chicago would be an upset.
OTOH the Edmonton McDavid's might go far.

It is one place for certain where hot streaks help.

I do hope the Leafs win the series against Washington! Go Leafs Go!
My team Pittsburgh handled Columbus in a very strategic manner after their horrendous 1st period! Thank goodness for Fleury stopping all of the Blue Jackets 16shots in the 1st period! Though, I have a little more doubt than last year without Letang playing. Can't replace someone who plays 26-28 minutes a game that has such incredible skill both defensively and offensively!

Pittsburgh has a great shot this year not having to worry about the Flyers. The series ALWAYS is a physical one and takes do much out of Pittsburg. They win almost invariably but at huge cost.

With Kris Letang injured for the playoffs, Pittsburgh has their work cut out for them.

Leafs will win Game 1 in Washington.
...oh yes I did... |

I would like to see them win 1-4. That may be based more in hope than expectation.
BUT since you are so confident, and since I like the underdog (What an AMAZING cartoon!) I have marched down to the local sports betting parlor and put money on your pick. Good luck to me.

Wow! Just Wow! Without Kris Letang Pittsburgh up 3-0 on the Blue Jackets! Who would have thought!! And who would have thought the PENS being the only team in the playoffs that have a 3-0 lead in their series! My bad, the Blues are up 3-0 on the Wild...
Go PENS!!!
