If Toronto doesn’t not upgrade their roster - they will not get out of the EAST.

They must move Samsonov for money - and make a play for a major upgrade.

This is CAR conference to lose rn imo.

Even if they do upgrade this roster, they wont make it out of the first.

Disagree.

Not having faith in your roster isn’t good health.

They believe in themselves why shouldn’t you?

They’re not far off.

Lul have u not been watching Sammy?

The man's rebound candidate of the year

Was sent down came back 1 week later and has taken the net back

He's 11-2 last 13 games

Beating out WPG twice, NYR, AVS, DAL

Of the 4 meetings in BOS was only in net once where he lost in a SO but this was before his new found confidence so will leave that. But hes been good as of late

Its his net. And in the playoffs its a whole different game and if Bertuzzi and Domi do what they did last time they in for some fun


And its not CAR to lose as they dont have a goalie. One went on waivers, one's been out for so long, and the other guy gets hot and cold. If anything its still anyone's guess rn as nobody expected FLA to come out last time

I like what Don’s been doing but I’ll never forgive him for the KK move. What an unmitigated disaster

Believing the cycle will never end is part of the problem tho no?
I think they’re close.

He’s also been the worst goalie for the half the year so betting that his brief hot streak will weigh the same as the first half isn’t a good bet.

It’s about using the money elsewhere.

Also it’s never good to say; eh their goaltending isn’t great so we are fine with our “okay” goaltending too.

As said before was bad to start went down for a week came back and never looked back

He's won 11 of his last 13 and has given the team a chance to win every night. We saw it against BUFF, WPG x 2, AVS, etc.

Hes not been perfect but this year few goalies have

Be stupid to trade him. Leafs have 2.7m in cap if they do some send downs. If there is someone they want they will go get but rn not much of anything rn.

The Bruins had one of the biggest 1st round upsets ever, just last year.

In general people look at regular season and go oh we dont stand a chance

Playoffs be a different ball game. Leafs with a soft team took em to 7 twice with Rask in net.

This year it could be a bloodbath with scrums every 5mins. There are gonna be injuries thats all I can say

Watch the NHL just go alright both yall just go 2nd round before you cant even field a team lul
