So Toronto choose Tampa themselves. 

 

We all know how this goes. Tampa in 7 with the Leafs starting the 3rd with the lead.

You actually think they can take them to 7?

 

This thing will be over in 5 or 6.

Lightning in 7 and continues the curse of the Leafs. Imagine being a leafs fan and graduating never seeing them advance past the first round.

[Apples]

Another 1st round exit

I'll say the leafs because in any other year the Leafs pt total would be top of the standings in the conference or maybe even a presidents trophy.

Because they are so scared of Boston, they chose the 2 time defending cup champions, good luck.

[King Heffy]

Lightning might as well have gotten a bye.  They're going to absolutely steamroll Toronto.  Laffs will be lucky to win a game.

Neither Matthews or Marner score in the first 2 games and Leaf fans burn them in effigy.

[D-Money]

This is gonna be fun.

 

Toronto has been losing to Boston, even when Boston wasn't all that good. But Tampa is going to steamroll them. Love to see how the Dangle army spin this one.

TB in 4.

[Coconuts]

Tampa in 5

[Canuck Surfer]

This is going to be high scoring. And fun to watch...,

 

Just not in Toronto's favor!

 

TB in 5

 

 

(Edit; this is Toronto's best team in years.  But it still has flaws & its, well, a tough match up)

I think last year's team was better. The defense was stronger (Muzzin has not been nearly as good this season, and Bogosian was solid depth). Tampa is going to cut right though it.

I don't know if their fans could handle it again! I was downtown Toronto watching the game 7 meltdown against the Bruins with some friends and let me tell ya! I tried my hardest not to laugh out loud. Haha! 

[The Lock]

I kind of don't care about either of these teams, but I guess I'd cheer for Toronto? Never thought I'd ever say that.

Hate the LOSER LEAFS.  Sadly though Batman will do whatever he can (managing refs) to get the Leafs and the Rags through as far as possible.  Big money for th3 league.  So fully expect the Leafs to have 7+ PPs each game.  Lots of 5 on 3 too.  TBay will need to beat the league’s plans for a Leaf v Rags Eastern Final.  

Be prepared for a grotesque summer of Leaf Loving media across all Canadian sources.  Leafs make Final.

Toronto finished 4th overall in the league, and their prize is the two time defending champ. That's rough.

 

Tampa in 6 to start another deep run. They're just too good in every position.
