Ya TBL TOR series is going to be huge this year. Both teams have been loading up…
As a non fan of either team… I can’t wait for this Cold War series to begin!
Totally agree - but it's the media far more than the haters. I doubt the players give a crap about the haters out there, but they definitely are put off by the media hordes, especially the a-holes like Simmons and Feschuk who seem to do nothing but crap on them (see Kessel and hot dogs), or if you're a guy like Marner who seems very sensitive about this kind of stuff and finds it tough to handle. I think the fact they haven't won in now 18 years though feeds into that massively - watching that last ESPN special after they lost to Montreal, seeing Marner squirming in Dubas's office prior to Game 7, you just know they were super nervous and felt the pressure immensely.
That's why I think it makes a ton of sense to bring in a guy like O'Reilly, he will help calm things down big time - so will Giordano although he's never won a cup, fact he was there last year felt like it helped against the Bolts.
Man what a series that is going to be...

It’s time for Matthews to stop acting like the kid in the PG-13 movie who we’re really hoping it happens for this time and to start acting like the guy in rated R movie who we’re quite sure we can trust him yet…not to just slay the opposition. Get rated R you know.

I hope he's hurt cause then there's an explanation why he hasn't been himself.
I can't remember the last time we had a "Matthews goal" where he curled, dragged and sniped.

JT practiced today. He said he felt great this morning, but as a precaution he won't play. Sounds like he could play Saturday though.

That game against the Isles was probably unimportant to the Leafs but the Isles have been playing playoff hockey for a bit now. They frustrated the Leafs (especially Marner) by finishing off their checks and closing off the neutral zone. Could be a blueprint on how to beat the Leafs. Marner looked quite uncomfortable with the Isles physical play. As I've stated before, the Isles are the last team I'd want to face in the 1st round. NYI vs BOS would be very interesting.

Leafs signed Knies last night. The way the rules are he will burn a yr off his ELC.

What's your playoff roster?
Jarnkrok-Matthews-Marner
ROR-JT-Nylander
Kerfoot-Kampf-Bunting
ZAR-Accairi-Lafferty
or
Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Jarnkrok-JT-Nylander
Kerfoot-ROR-Lafferty
ZAR-Kampf-Acciari
Having Knies swap in for Kerfoot or an injury if need be?
D I think is easy
McCabe-Brodie
Rielly-Schenn
Gio-Holl
With Gust coming in if Rielly is hurt. Liljegren coming in if a RSD gets hurt or sucks. Timmins as a super extra that shouldn't come in unless the sky is falling.

I expect Knies to be playing game one of the playoffs, somewhere in there and ZAR coming out of the lineup. We'll see.
