Ouch.  The Leafs choked on their 2-0 lead and now have to dance with the Capitals.  That's gotta hurt.  A pretty anti-climatic home finish to their season.

Oh, well, at least they made it in - and you never know....

[UFCanuck]

Caps in 3?

Huge loss by the Leafs against CBJ.  1 point and they would be playing Sens.  Liked their chances against them, not Caps...Caps in 4

[pluralsight]

Not surprising the Laffs blew that game, they seem to choke when it matters. However, I'd be surprised if they won a game. Caps in 4. 

[Toni Zamboni]

leafs in 7, haha

[J-23]

Leafs will get under the skin of Ovechkin and rest of the Caps, Leafs in 7.

In the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs, LA beat the President's Trophy winner the Canucks so anything could happen.

I think Toronto wins Game 1 or Game 2. Washington in 5, they're just too damn good. I said this the last 2 years but this is their year and I'll keep saying that until their roster gets decimated.

EDIT: Typo

Caps in 5. A loss to the Leafs would be the end of the this Caps core and signal it's time to blow it up.

[Alflives]

Hate the Leafs, and will cheer for the to lose and suffer injuries.

I hate how some people still use this reference. The Kings were never an underdog team that year, many projected them to contend for the cup at the start of that season (especially after acquiring Richards and Carter). They just had a bad regular season and ended up squeaking into the playoffs, but other than that they definitely had the team on paper to contend and they ended up winning.

The Caps may be playoff chokes but they've gotten the job done in round 1 the past couple of years. 

I think the Leafs steal a game in Washington and make things uncomfortable for the Caps but Washington wins in 6. 

[Bruce Boudreau]

I honestly don't think the Caps could have hand picked an easier opponent a veteran team vs a bunch of green playoff rookies albeit coached by a veteran winner like Babcock.

 

TO is gonna be on fire crowd noise might rival the Habs and Jets as the loudest in the NHL.

 

I might watch this series...

Don't think the Leafs will beat the Caps. Caps win this in 5.

[Madness]

Caps in 5

[WHL rocks]

Go Caps Go. 

 

This is the final year for this group in WSH to get a Cup. They will be losing some players to the cap and free agency. I think they get it done finally. Been cheering for them ever since OV came in, he deserves a Cup. 

 

Caps and Oilers SCF would be great. 

 

Great to see the Leafs in the playoffs again along with several Canadian teams. It'll be a good experience for this rebuilding team. 

[The Weasel]

heheh. caps are going to dominate them. 

[Jam126]

Caps in 5. Leafs will get a lucky win.
