Toronto Maple Leafs

Kadri/Komarov are great together, I wuoldn't change a thing about that line.

Would love to see KK get a crack at one of the 3 primary lines next season... perhaps in Brown's spot on the Kadri/Komarov line.

Would be worth it just to be able to call them the "KKK" line LOL

Thought this was a nice article. Maybe you saw it already.
What some other coaches are saying.....

"I know when we played them, I thought Toronto was a matchup nightmare because you couldn't match them line for line," added the Eastern coach. "So, to me, what's happened so far in that series of how representative of how close they are. I expect the Leafs to be an Eastern Conference final team a year from now."

The hype train is getting out of control

I hope Babs is keeping them hungry and focused on the task at hand. They better not sit back and be happy with what they've already done or this will be a short series.

All year, and last yr even teams were saying the difference from these two yrs vs the teams previously was their structure, and now this yr the speed. Game after game for the last 100+games we've heard players and coaches from other teams praise the Leafs. Honestly doesn't shock me other coaches again are saying this, I am shocked at the "next yr they're a ECF team".....and how well the Leafs have played haha.

If anyone watches basketball, i was expecting it to be like the ECF last yr with Raptors vs Cavs. Cavs blowing out Toronto the games they won, and Toronto just scraping a win here and there out. Like Cavs won 4-2, but it never felt like Toronto had a chance. Was expecting that in this series, but it's not even close to the same.

It's some funny listening to Grapes talk about Zaitsev. Man he hates that guy. Sad part is, Grapes is right. LOL!

[ericdaoust]

He hates him because he's Russian.

I heard him say that but I don't believe that for a minute.

With Babcock coaching, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Actually, I could see a Cup Final appearance within 2 years with him behind the bench. He is in a class by himself and can mould this talented squad into a serious contender for many years to come.

Ya, you're right. Him and Quenneville are in a class of their own. Great game whether you're a fan or not!

Babcock isn't close. But yes great win

Common Ev. Even you should be able to admit that they are the two best coaches in the game. They are not that far apart. You don't get selected to be the head coach on the biggest stage for nothing. You do cheer for Team Canada right? Or do you cheer for Sweden....

Quenneville:
Three Stanley Cup appearances as head coach, three wins

Babcock:
Three Stanley Cup appearances as head coach, one win
Two Olympic Gold Medals
