Playoffs

The leafs are headed for playoffs, and as it stands now it appears that boston will be playing them. The physical teams will be clashing and its apparent that no matter what happens, leafs still made it to the playoffs. My predictions for the series are that it goes to 6 games and that leafs win 4-2. Its very important that the leafs match the physicality and also point shots with screens so that Tuukka Rask cant continue to be on point for success. Much more to continue.

Leafs Vs Montreal

Hockey Night in Canada happened last night and this was the huge rivalry, of Toronto vs Montreal. Toronto killed the rivals last night 5-1 as they get closer and closer to the playoffs. 7 Games out from the playoffs and its almost a guaranteed spot in the playoffs after 7 years not being able to make it, an/or not even get close. Randy Carlisle has been able to bring a very physical team in this year with Phaneuf, Maclaren, Obyrne and others who just destroy on defence and offence. Even Boston could not bypass toronto's offensive prowess and create a great opportunity for a strong team this year. Lupul has had injuries but has come back stronger and that is what he is going to be able to do. In the first period Maclaren dropped gloves with Brandon Prust and put him on the ground. This sparked up a rivalry between Kadri and Galchenyuk, Kadri 23, and Galchenyuk 20, starting to get heated as the game went on. In the third period there was no goals and the leafs should have had a shutout, but Reimer got unlucky.

Leafs Making a Statement

Leafs these days are killing it in the franchise. Joffrey Lupul got injured and came back and pulled a crosby performance. It is unbelievable how well the leafs are playing this year and fingers crossed, will make the playoffs and heaven forbid win the cup. The leafs just picked up Ryan O'Byrne from Colorado Avalanche after trading away Mike Brown F, and David Steckel to Tampa Bay. The Leafs are in 5th place right now with playoffs closely approaching. Hot teams right now include washington, Pittsburgh and Boston, the hard hitting team. It shows that its been long enough since the cup has been in Toronto's hands. About as old as my mom which is almost 45 years ago.
