It's kind of crazy that we're here and this is now normal. Two seasons ago Leafs were 30th (OK, they held back a bunch of young guys on purpose so the team might have been better than 30th) and now 2 short years later, we're not only expecting playoffs, but we're expecting some form of playoff success. 95 points last year, 105 points this year, I can honestly say this team might grow to be 110+ points in the next few seasons. I never thought i'd live to be a fan of a team that was this good.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

This has been the best season since I began following the team. For me, playoff success would be beating BOS (i.e., winning a round). That's a step forward.
I would be disappointed if they were blown out by the Bs, swept or in 5 games.
However, if they do beat BOS then I think the confidence boost would hike their chances in a second-round matchup against TB.

Leafs I noticed were getting much better at stopping 3rd period meltdowns. Learning that alone makes them a stronger team this time around. If they can keep their confidence high, all that skill and speed will naturally follow them around. Leafs in 5

I think we beat them with speed.
If Bergeron is going to focus on Matthews than Marner should be able to step up. I also see JVR coming up big as well.
I can't stand Marchand or the B's. Let's get some revenge.

I like that the Leafs got better as the season went on. Early season lineup didn't have Dermott, Kapanen, Johnsson, those 3 guys alone make our depth way better. Hopefully video-game Marner shows up and propels that 2nd line to mucho offense. Matthews seems like he's back and ready to go, I can't wait for this series to get going.

I like the optimism here and I definitely think we can win this series but Boston has shown it's very good at playing a shutdown game. And winning even when they have key guys out. And they have home ice. I don't see the Leafs winning this (if they do) in less than 7. It's going to be a war.

Toronto's shot generation numbers are insanely good:
Those red and purple shades show that they get a crap-ton more shots off in the slot than other teams.
