I am taking my son to Pittsburgh to catch a hockey and baseball game in April. My brother in law used to be the assistant trainer for the local QMJHL here and the trainer there is now the head trainer

Holy f***, Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung, out 6 months, might end his career, sad news man as a fan.

Except your way, will collect you an ulcer or two. :P

 

Not at all.

 

I used to be the 'everything will work out' man and the 'this year is the year' guy...man, did I make myself sick and miserable in the playoffs. Now I call out s*** when it doesn't smell right. It's a lot easier to shrug off failure when you notice the warning signs early.

The NHLs playoff format is a crime against sports humanity.

 

Almost as bad as NFL overtime rules

Top 8 in each conference. Go!

 

It's really not that hard. Why do they make it hard.

I think the NBA got the playoff format right.

Or you shrug it off as it's just a game, every team will have holes. And any team can win in the playoffs, regardless of sport.

no reseeding and getting two games finished in the second round before the first round finishes?

I meant regarding how teams are seeded in the first place

Looks like there's a small chance the Leaves could miss the playoffs. You know, those same playoffs that literally half the league qualifies for.

 

Lol go leaves go

As nervous as I am, there's basically zero chance of that happening.

 

Going out in 3 against Boston is possible though.

Montreal is only 5 points behind them.

 

If the Leafs miss the playoffs, what a f***ing embarrassment.

 

Boston in 5 regardless.

I'm not sure what brought this comment on specifically this year. The seeds are pretty much in order give or take a point and no 6th place team would be sniffing the playoffs in another division. Boston and Toronto is a far better rivalry than, say, Boston and Pittsburgh. It's a reasonably effective format.

 

MLB is the one that is completely tardf***ed, where the Twins and the Rays basically have the same chance to make the playoffs purely because of the massive difference in strength of schedule. NFL too but that is a symptom of only playing 16 games.

I know the Canes have had a phenomenal season but s*** I didn’t realize they have only 4 points less then us. Oh. Sparx sux.

 

The parity is certainly something to behold.

 

The only saving grace is that, barring injury, that was the last time you'll see Sparks this season.....and possibly ever in a Leafs uniform.

Alright boys, just laid down a cool $25 at +130 for the Leafs to beat the Bruins in the series. Anyone who is not doing this is literally just throwing money away. Also laid down some money on the Jets as a Canadian team fan boy (the payoff on Calgary is s***) and considering the Canes and Sharks.

Jake Muzzin, one of two #Leafs that have won a Stanley Cup before, on Toronto heading into the playoffs: "These guys are hungry, man. They want to prove themselves, they want to win and so do I. Let’s go."

My first Bruins/Leafs playoff memory was it being like 10-0 for Boston and Quinn hurt Bobby Orr and in the ensuing riot Forbes Kennedy fought the whole B's bench and slugged the linesman (getting a life suspension)

 

It has been just as painful the other times we've faced the B's to varying degrees.

 

Not a penny on the Leafs.
