Toronto definitely isn't defensively better. The only reason they aren't letting up 5 or 6 goals a game is because of Andersen. Like every other season, he will burn out near the end of the year and they will drop wins left and right. On paper sure they are better, but they have no identity and aren't well structured. How is Montreal going to fall off? They proved last year that they have what it takes, we are still ahead of Toronto despite Price playing like an ECHL goalie in November and are missing pretty much half of our team. Sorry, but unless Toronto somehow fixes something, I don't see them making the playoffs. It's really Florida's spot to lose.

You are just ignoring whats happened in the past 9 games, which isn't a surprise. You are after all just a Habs homer that doesn't pay attention to anything else.

Ignoring what? Did you not watch Toronto play last night? How many 3rd period breakaways did they give up? It would've been 5-3 if Andersen didn't stop those goals. Continuously coughing up Breakaways and 2 on 1's and eventually it will catch up. Keep insulting me because you have obviously know nothing.

That isn't entirely true under Keefe. There are still issues that need to be corrected but in the last 9 games, TO has cut down grade A chances by a pretty wide margin. They've also increased their possession numbers and high danger chances for by a wide margin. They are a very different team under Keefe. Which is why they have won 6 of the 9 games he's been behind the bench. TO is a playoff team, they'll likely battle Florida and Tampa for 2nd in the division. Montreal is going to be well back by the deadline.

Go look up the advanced stats under Keefe, TO is dominated possession, shot metrics and high danger chances. Teams that do that, win. Montreal doesn't do well in most of that. On top of that look at the last 10 games. Montreal is 3-5-2 while TO is 6-4. Your window to chirp the Leafs was almost as short as your window of contention.

We are 3-5-2 because we lost 8 straight and are still ahead of Toronto in the standings

Trust me, I can chirp tons about the Leafs, but it really isn't worth it. Their window has already closed

Hell I don't even care if Toronto if actually better than Montreal. Toronto has no future and is already handicapped with contracts.

You are going to hate watching TO in the playoffs while Montreal misses again.

Nawh. I don't want Montreal to make the playoffs. I can't wait until Toronto watches Carolina get a good player with their pick though

I am going to enjoy chirping you.

Alright. Enjoy not making the playoffs

The only thing better is Dubas making a panic trade to make the playoffs

Which he won't do

It's Dubas, of course he will

Because he has a huge track record of that? Cause he doesn't and once again you are just dumb.

Running a team into the ground. I don't think he's made a good move since he's been at the realm. One of the worst GM's in the league.

So you hate the Leafs what a surprise that you'll say everything they do is garbage. You'll say the same thing if they have a deep playoff run. I would wager a fair amount that if they win the cup you'll still say it was refs or luck or whatever else. But hey I guess you can look at all that success Bergevin has mustered recently. He took a team with the best goalie in the world and did nothing. And now they need a rebuild because they aren't good enough. Yeah keep talking chump, lol.

They won't have a long playoff run because they aren't good enough. They aren't winning a cup, so I don't have to worry about that. Don't worry about Montreal, we've won the same amount of playoff rounds in the last 4 years. Shall we go 5? because guess who wins.. not Toronto.

They are the 3rd youngest team in the NHL and have had to take on a top 5 team in each of their last playoff rounds.

3rd youngest team... If only they didn't overpay every single one of their players. No cap space, no good rookies coming up. Gonna have to pay Reilly, Andersen in the next few years. Good luck!
Thank god I'm a Habs fan an not a Leafs fan. Enjoy another 52 Years (Holy **** that's bad) without a cup.

You have two guys on your team that are massively overpaid and are under contract for another 6 years. Lol good luck with that. Remember when Bergevin was going to go all in on Tavares and he wouldn't even give you the time of day? Yeah you're dust and your team is dust and your arguments are just weak.

DFD on pace for 66 Points and a Vezina caliber goalie... Yes overpaid. Congrats, your 11 Million dollar center who's never won anything in his career just gave you another anchor contract. Got me there. Maybe your might actually have a chance if your idiot GM spent that on defense instead.

Lol big talk, we'll see at the end of the season.
