"Ottawa has the grit and toughness to edge the Leafs; and maybe the better goaltender in Linus Ullmark.

Prediction — Ottawa in 7"

Really getting tired of this narrative....what is it based on?

The grit and toughness narrative is hilarious.

Ullmark is trash in playoffs and had a really up and down year.

Our issue is more our PP and lack of offense. If our PP catches lightening in a bottle Leafs win easy. Let Lorentz, Marner, Holmberg, Laughton run the PK. Special teams will be a huge factor for sure but so too our 5 on 5 scoring and Kampf doesn't help there either. Don't want a guy in there to just kill penalties. Patches is more well rounded for our playoff needs imo.

Ottawa was 3rd last in 5v5 goals...and 1st in PP oppurtunities which won't be the same in playoffs.

Reinhart missed three of Florida's final six games. Those were the first games he missed in three years.“There’s trust in the staff that they know how we’re going to play when it comes to it," Reinhart said. "So, we’ve been trying to use that to our advantage and get some added rest and be the best we possibly can for next week.”

Game 1 could have been Saturday, in theory. It isn't until Tuesday, so even that brings a few more rest days that the Panthers weren't necessarily expecting. It also gives a couple more days for Tkachuk to determine if he can play in the playoff opener.

“We'll get an extra day's skate. It lets us accomplish both things: getting a right amount of rest and also be on the ice enough so we can stay sharp,” Maurice said. “We have to balance both of those two things.”

TB wins that series.

Florida just not healthy and Eks. suspension.

I'd have Patches and Jarnkrok out, Kampf and Robertson in. Patches can come in later.

Looks like they’re going with
Line 1 - as is
Knies-JT-Domi
McMann-Holmberg-Nickie
Lorentz-Laughton-Jarnkrok

It does benefit FL to have the extra days off before starting, but, Idk about any catering. They will play entire series every other day, while other series get days off scattered in. The rest days are just at a different time.

Because the Leafs choke every year, people find them an easy target to pick as an upset victim.

Just say that. Don't say the Sens are going to win because they're better (no evidence of it) in certain areas. Say Sens in 6 because Toronto will lose the series, not because the Sens will win it on fabricated areas of strength. Also is a team that's expected to lose still considered an upset when it happens?

I am not ready for another disappointment.
Leafs in 6.
Will start drinking tomorrow 2 hours before games starts, no chance I can handle it sober.

Tkachuk will be playing hurt, he scored less points than Knies this season. Leafs should be finishing every check on Tkachuk. Leafs are far superior at 5 on 5 hockey, and over 85% of the game will be played 5 on 5. Leafs were 7th best in the NHL and Sens were 19th in 5 on 5 situations. If you're curious about 4 on 4 hockey, Leafs were 2nd in the NHL, Sens were 22nd.

Hope it translates. Our offense of the regular season seems to always disappear come the playoffs.

Same, and we all know it's coming. I might just start drinking today in prep for the game tomorrow.

One noteable change is Berube and that may get things going

I love that but I bet shanny and mlse won't let him talk like that with our players. I remember Keefe being critical once and they made him apologize

F Shanny and double F MLSE. Free Berube and his magic words.
All hockey players are pretty tough dudes, they don't need safe spaces.

If the Leafs out after first round he should be shown the door. It is time for the change in front office.
