Before tonite, TO's record over the last 20 games was 11 W, 9 L, that record over a season would put TO at around 90 points and out of the playoffs, this is an eerily perennial occurrence, TO limping into the playoffs.

Is different better, even tho that different is worse.

TO's PP looked effective, no, was effective, why, I think it's because there was an actual d-man that knows how to contribute on the PP. TO's PP has been ineffective lately, like every year at this time of year, Gustafsson wasn't simply dishing he was actually moving and dishing the puck on the...

I expect O'Rielly to play on the 2nd line, what we saw tonite might be what we see in the playoffs, I don't think the 3rd or 4th lines are settled, 2 or 3 good games by a 4th line is better than none but 4th lines settled or not doesn't amount to much.

The 4th line having the most TOI is like Keefe gifting the game to Boston, they are playing 4th line good/excellent. There can't be anything wrong with Matthews setting up Jarnkrok/Bunting, instead of giving Matthews linemates that can get him the puck, could there be?

That was the best I've seen from the Leafs all year, everyone seemed to be doing their jobs in spades which wasn't enough because TO lost but TO playing like that shouldn't lose very often no matter the opposition. I've been less than impressed by McCabe and his ill advised swat at the puck in...

Doesn't make me feel good especially because TO has committed $7.5 mil. per year to him for the next 7 years, what would make me feel good, guess. He's played well lately, all the more reason to sit him after he already missed 16 games, he must need the rest.

Florida has been burning up the league lately, seemingly scoring at will, they play TO and TO only allows 2 goals, that was TO without Rielly, coincidence?

I think what we need is a dominant 1st line, a no more excuses 1st line that can and will be dominant in the playoffs. I think Matthews hasn't looked better this year and the idea that he does exceptional work only to have to pass to Jarkrok and Kerfoot is preposterous. Passing to and working...

Imagine, Kerfoot and Jarnkrok on the same line as Matthews, who would get the puck to Matthews, what genius thought this up.

With TO's draft results, trading Engvall for a 3rd rounder is the same as giving him away or letting him walk. Chandler Stephenson with Vegas might be a similar type of story, he was a Capital for about 4 1/2 years and in his best year he got to play 12 minutes per game, a 3rd/4th line tweener...

Gustafsson, I saw a move from him on Friday, he side stepped a player who was attempting to block his shot and then got his shot off, that wasn't earth shattering but it was something I never see from Rielly, Rielly would/does shot directly into/at the blocking player, consistently. Rielly is...

TO is 11-7 since Feb. 1, this surprised me, I don't feel TO's play justifies this record, seems to me TO is being outplayed and outshot pretty much every game. This is the same type of TO going into the playoffs for the last 6 years, I'm always expecting that changes like Plakanec, Lubushkin...

Babs used to complain that the Leafs didn't show up on time for games, lately they show up on time but seem to fall asleep after the 1st, get out shot, get out played consistently in the 2nd, lately?  It's an odd team, hard to understand.

I find it interesting that the media insist that teams load up at the TDL as a reward for a team, their players, due to the great season they're having. I would think that a great team, having a great season wouldn't want to upset the chemistry of that team by adding new players and displacing...

It's hard to understand how/why Rielly is so well regarded by so many Leaf fans, his d has always been questioned and his offensive numbers have usually been good, he has never been the author of his success, he more benefitted from TO's improved team rather than having been a catalyst of TO's...

I saw Morgan Rielly be physical, two games in a row, no, no it's true, maybe the addition of 3 physical players has awakened Rielly to the idea that hockey players can use things other than their sticks to defend, wow. I don't think most are aware that he's 6'1", 222 lbs, not small but not...

Wow, 2 games in a row Rielly used physicality, used his body to influence a game, once in each game, wonders may never cease, I like it. Last year those shots would've gone in for Matthews, he seems far more dangerous with Marner, which makes sense. In the 1st and parts of the 2nd TO looked...

I agree the Engvall trade was probably a mistake but Engvall was probably the only bottom 6er TO had that would be of interest to any other NHL team. Outside of O'Rielly and McCabe(maybe)I don't know if this incredible volume of moving parts will make much difference in the end. TO's PP goes...

I didn't like how TO played after the 1st period against Seattle, it was pathetic. The idea of having Matthews and JT was TO having 2 #1 lines and therefore very difficult to defend against, Boston is very difficult to defend against and they have their top 3 forwards on one line, most of the...
