But with Babcock behind the bench, I gotta think they're gonna be in it again. His problem will be keeping these youngsters hungry and uninjured. He doesn't really have the depth in great, well seasoned talent he had in Detroit most of his reign. If he loses Mathews or Kadri, or they don't show up for any amount of games, gonna be a tough run. Their depth is pretty shallow. (But MN depth was deep as fuck and they sucked so...who fucking knows). I'll be they have a daily schedule for Mathews this off season...like no running with scissors or taking stairs two at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got no defence other than Reilly. You think Tampa will miss again? I don't, they were banged up as fuck this year and still almost made it. Someone's gotta miss for them to come in, I don't see anyone else who made not being able to next year. Bruins maybe but the tweaks that Cassidy made seemed to make a huge difference. Got to admit they're fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruins maybe but the tweaks that Cassidy made seemed to make a huge difference. Got to admit they're fun to watch! Bruins will be there and be stronger. I don't know if Chara will be a part of it though. It's coming time for him to make some decisions. I think Babs will beef up defense for the Leafs. In fact, I'd bet that's his first thing on his "to-do" list. I don't know about Tampa. They were kinda all over the place this year. Off and on play. Yeah, some injuries but, they still should have done better. Just aren't that deep. I'm focusing on Minny. Not sure what our problem is but I hope we can solve it. It's time for us to shop out some "stars" that are banking good money and not producing. I think it's causing problems in the locker room. Who knows...but there is a chemistry mess there that makes them act like little girls pointing fingers when times get tough. I just think we have, and have had, a cohesion issue. I will say this though, your SENS are spectacular. Karlson and Anderson are playing lights out hockey. Fast and fun to watch. Good D (last game was off though). They've come a long way in just a few years. Pitt and them will be the matchup to watch in Conf finals I believe. Cindy got his fucking bell rung good the other night so that may factor in to the Pens line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy got his fucking bell rung good the other night so that may factor in to the Pens line up. Stamkos had 17pts in 20 games played or close to it. Insert him in the lineup for the full season and they woulda made it, not to mention a plethora of other injurys to key players. Soon as Min gave those twin contracts out I knew it would be future problems. I agree you guys need a "shuffle". Hopefully my boys can keep it up, been an awesome year so far!!👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet they are gonna start stacking their defense with some big names. Oshie is a free agent this year, only 30 and needs a cup. Washington has proved to not do well in the Playoffs and he has only been there 2 seasons so no real ties..... 5-6 million a year and with the promise of Toronto lately it would be a good move for him and us. Another 50 point guy is needed. Who wouldn't want to be on the Toronto team that wins the cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer sheets on rfas, especially high end ones, are extremely rare. Not to mention they usually get matched. Why do leaf fans think every available player or semi available (rfa) want to go to Toronto? In two years you won't have anywhere close to enough cap space to facilitate everyone, so it's not all sunshine and lolipops. For the record I believe you had 9 rookies (?) so that makes cap hell even worse in two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really only Mathews, and Marner, Nylander to a lesser extant will have big pay. Others will be dealt away or paid low. Not all players want to come to Toronto but most Canadian players are from Ontario and Others from non NHL provinces. EGO is the reason, growing up watching Leafs every Saturday night, insane fans and a team looking good.

Parade has been planned for decades lol - They are not ready as we just stated they need defense to win in playoffs.. They did well against the best team in hockey From last place to 15th in one year is promising I am a Hockey Fan not just a leaf fan...

Renegade X Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Leafs will sign some good players this summer including d-men. They already have some depth guys. I bet Toronto actually finishes close to the top in their division. Leafs didnt do very well at the beginning of last year and if they had of got half of those points, we would have probably finished ahead of Ottawa. Leafs would still be playing had they played anyone other then Washington in the 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a close series could've gone either way really. As proven so far in the second round finishing first doesn't always equate to being the best.

Washington showed what I said earlier, they don't do well in playoffs. Having a hard time with the leafs proved that again. Pitts won't be so easy and I see Pitts winning 4-2 in games.... Toronto playing Washington was good for the leafs as it didn't create false hopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only 2 teams the leafs would have had problems with were the capitals and the penguins. They would have beat the sens or bruins no problem.
