The historic record season the Bruins had last season meant nothing after blowing a 3-1 lead in round 1.

Bergeron their top Center only played 3 games. Krejci their number 2 center played only 4 games. They were both injured.
Another reason why regular season is not playoffs. Without both this season there's a 1 point difference in the standings with Florida. Hence it went to OT in game 7. It was that close.

Leafs looked shit but they beat a shitty team. The Leafs will have a much-needed break and play the Flyers on Thursday.

I'm not worried about one meaningless game. The playoffs will be a different story mark my words.
It will be. They'll get bitched slapped even worse than they are now. It's obvious they're tired. Goaltending is iffy at best and their defence is meh.

The Leafs got crushed by the Bruins 4:1
Nylander surprisingly made mistake he
Should not have made. MYthews scored nothing. Neither did Tarvares. I really don’t think they are Stanley Cup champ material.
Players get paid a lot, too much for this
Level of performance.

CP
The Golden Knight highest paid player Jack Eichel makes less than all 4 of the core 4. And you wonder how if 5 years of their existence they can play in 2 Stanley cup finals and win one and still be the odds on favourite to win another.

Is that your prediction? Or you are just trolling Leaf fans cause you hate the Leafs?

I'm a Leaf fans as well and I'm not trolling. Hardcore Leaf fans are ignorant homers and every year believe that they're winning the cup. They don't have the goaltending or defence to make a serious run at it.That's my honest take.

Keep the faith. Anything can happen in the playoffs. In 1993 everyone thought the Leafs had no chance vs Detroit but the Leafs went to the Conference finals where Kerry Fraser (he even admits it today) fucked up a call.

Vancouver 91 pts, 1 pt behind Florida. Vegas 75 pts, currently 8th seed in the West. Possible 1st round matchup.
Playoff betting odds Vegas ranked 5th. Vancouver is ranked 9th tied with Toronto and Winnipeg.
Regular season is not the playoffs. Interestingly Boston is also 1 pt behind Florida and is ranked 8th
Vegas is also just as likely to play Edmonton in the first round since LA and Vegas both currently have 75 pts.

There is a small chance that Vegas won't make playoffs, if they miss the playoffs that would be something after all the deals that they made.

Ryan O'Reilly chose not to stay with the Leafs and signed in Nashville.
He's the top center in Nashville with 24 goals and 56 pts. Cap hit 4.5 million
Nashville is 8-0-2 in their last 10. The team is on fire.
For comparison Tavares this season has 20 goals and 46 pts. Cap hit 11 million.
Both Tavares and O'Rielly are 33 years of age.
O'Rielly averages about 20 min per game and about 2 min on the PK and is a +7
Tavares averages 18 min per game and does not do PK and is a -3
Leafs just traded for Dewar specifically for his PK
O'Rielly also averages more PP time than Tavares.
Leafs traded a 1st round draft pick for O'Rielly.
When the Leafs had O'Rielly they moved Tavares to LW.

Imagine the Leafs if they had O'Rielly rather than Tavares as their 2nd line center with money left over.
Imagine further if Leafs instead of Bertuzzi kept Hyman. Both with cap hit of 5.5 million.
Hyman was also an exceptional defensive player for the Leafs. They could use a guy like that for the PK

Sammy played a good game. I was pissed that the Leafs let him down for that 2nd goal...a shortie with just a minute and a half left.

You're guilty of projecting. Because every hardcore Leaf fan I know thinks the same as I do. That this team is not built to win 4 rounds in the playoffs.
