Wasn't pretty against a tired and injured Panthers team. But it wasn't terrible either. Hard fought game. A number of Leafs played well. I though Stolarz held them in there. Playoff berth clinched. 4 pts up on Florida for home ice in the 1st round with 7 games to play.

Their likely paths are: Defending Cup champ, Florida, still playing well A hot past Cup champ, Tampa or A pretty hot Ottawa who swept them this season So no easy path A win tonight helps them towards getting home ice in the first round.

He's probably going to pass a bunch of them in his last 8 or so games

It did not make much sense to me to give his gimpy knee a lot of wear and tear during the regular season. Sitting him out for as many as 60 games wouldn't have surprised me. Just get him in shape for the playoffs. But that window seems closed. How can he get into game shape now and play at a...

But his agent wouldn't have gone for that. "We'll take UFA at age 25 or so, thanks" So the Leafs get to flip him at the end of his 7th season to a contender for a low 1st or so because he's a rental. Or flip him at age 24 to try to get more. But they'll never get his talent value back. Never...

Sounds great in theory. But you have to ignore the context to go along with that. He was an injury risk. He wound up missing an entire season with a hip problem shortly after signing the deal.

By his 3rd season in Toronto, he led the Leafs forwards in time on ice in the regular season and playoffs. Three Leafs coaches came to that similar conclusion. I think Leafs management have handled it poorly - playing stupid games with the media while the player is holding all the cards. One way...

I cancelled cable a decade or more ago. I couldn't handle giving FOX Propaganda News a penny. I have had Amazon Prime for years - rarely use it to watch anything except the Leafs. That is good to know. I may try that. Have to calm down some as I was quite annoyed with Sportsnet. They woke up...

Last couple of seasons, I've signed up for Sportsnet only for watching the Leafs. Each season, I have to cancel because their video is so choppy, it is unwatchable. I've worked with their tech people but with only limited effort. I'm technically able and could figure it out but I don't have time...

Thanks for doing that :)

I'll echo everyone else. Terrible refs - and not just one or two calls. Not a bad game for a 3rd game in 4 nights. In control of their own destiny in 1st place in their division but a tougher schedule in April

With 35 goals, ignoring other potential goal scoring tonight, Tavares is tied for 9th in goals. With Nylander in 2nd, if they were to finish with both in the top 10, that is a fairly rare occurrence after the 60s NHL expansion. I think Andreychuk & Clark did it in the early 90s. Sittler &...

Maybe they need to be embarrassed by a bottom feeder just before the playoffs start ...

Good for them. Seems like they've had a pretty good run at the NCAA and other young free agents.

34 41 As others mentioned, not an easy choice. There were a few others who could have easily got recognition here.

That was the best game the team has played in a while

ppg typically dips in the playoffs but not typically as much as some of those. When a team lacks secondary scoring ("saddled with Connor Brown, Marleau, Galchenyuk, Foligno and Kerfoot for large portions of that time"), the opponent can focus on defending the fewer players that have scoring...
