yeah sometimes coming in hot is meaningful, certainly better than nothing, like with the caps:

It leaps out at you in bright red on the NHL's own standings page: minus-37. That's the Washington Capitals' goal differential on the year. Only the lowly Canadiens, Blue Jackets, Ducks, Blackhawks, and Sharks have worse, and it's not like this is an early-season trend the team has turned around. In their last 25 games, they've been outscored 69-78. In their last 10, it's 21-27 [...] Nobody but basement-dwellers Chicago and San Jose lost by three-plus goals more often than the Caps did.

who just flat-out suck. like seriously, how did this happen?

anyway that doesn't matter now, regular season in the past and we're all back at 0. i am curious where they rank among the all-time woat playoff teams tho ... and obv it'd be hilarious if they beat the rag$

How about those goals he scored that went off the bar and in should we count those as non goals using your logic.
Like OT losses don't count as losses but OT wins count as wins.

Say what?? LOL

This actually right from the broadcast and is true, he hit alot of posts this year.

I hate the Leafs as much as anyone but they are my dark horse this year because no one believes.

Housenuts starting to come around:p

I said this to my friends, all die hard leafers, on Thursday when they started getting real excited about Matthews hitting 70.

It would be cool to see him do it, but we all know when leafs fans get their hopes up they get utterly crushed. On a positive note, this is probably why they'll actually do well in playoffs this year because there is no belief.

My new theory is if he hits 70, they lose first round. If he sticks at 69 they'll win 2+ series.

I'm SO pumped for Leafs Bruins

game 1 goalies?

hmmm not sure to be honest, both Woll and Sammy have not been great most of the last week.

Hehe.

They actually might surprise, not as much of feeling of we don't want to play in May/June as want to go to cottage but that could still be there. Boston will have to have injuries or fighting with each other or something for the Leafs to win, if that miracle happens I don't see them going past 2nd round again.

Exactly why they might do well lol. Leafs fans have no hope.

Right, they have to get them to buy-in, maybe as evil as two rounds, then cut off their balls.

Settle down. It's only the 1st.

On an related note. I bet STL to win $43 on a $20 bet against the Stars as an emotional hedge. Win win!
