What do you think our odds are? We definitely need October/November/December Jack in there. When they crushed us 8-1 I took notice. This is an elite team. We've got a puncher's chance. I say run the body as much as you can. Guys can get taken out legally with good hits.

Keefe said "the harder the better. It's what we need right now."

We're definitely underdogs. We'll see if that suits us. Hopefully Bunting, Sandin and Kase can get in there at sometime.

Kase looks like he might be playing in game 1. He also practiced on the 2nd PP unit today.

Is spezza injured? If not, Clifford over spezza seems kinda nuts.

Leafs will have last change and they'll likely be matched up against Tampa's also-physical 4th line: Maroon-Bellemare-Perry. I guess they don't want that 4th line setting the physical tempo right off the bat. Highly doubt Clifford plays every game. Hoping the the plan is to have Bunting back for game 3 and the 4th line could turn into Kerfoot-Blackwell-Spezza/Simmonds.

Florida is going to run roughshod over the conference though.
 
Some people's only focus is to make everyone else's lives as miserable as theirs is.  Don't let him bring you down to his level Bender - most of us are cheering for the Leafs here!
 
We?ll either be emotionally ?crushed? or ?over the moon? at the end of this series. No middle ground here. GO LEAFS GO!!!!

I can be as pessimistic as the next guy after watching the Leafs for so long, but I have a good feeling this time around.  If Jack plays anywhere near his capability I have Leafs in 6.
 
I think this is too close to call right now , but if the Leafs can win they?ll grow 10 feet tall and sprout wings for the rest of the tournament .
 
First round is always the toughest. Im offering no predictions because I was super bold last year.

I know this will sound stupid, but let?s just say last year the leafs somehow found themselves in the final and either won or lost, you just know anyone outside of Toronto would not have taken this ?Covid finals? seriously.

They need to win the old, hard way. Or as we call it, the leafs way.

Silver lining of the Marlies being eliminated - a long list of Black Aces
 
I have Leafs in 6.  I have a feeling they come out on fire tonight and put Tampa on their heels but lose Game 2 and 3.  Finish the series off winning 4-5-6.
