AKRISONER Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Matthews has been cleared to play tonight. Imagine being 2 pts out of first place overall, and then acquiring William Nylander and Auston Matthews in free agency...lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostAnotherOne Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I know its early but this Atlantic division is so tight this year. Someones going to get a lot of points this year and not get home advantage in the first round. If Tampa say gets 110pts Toronto gets 108pts and Buffalo gets 107 points that would mean Buffalo would get screwed over even if they have more points then anyone in the Metropolitan division. Hopefully thats not too confusing guys. Just pisses me off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were gonna have a 2vs3 first round elimination while potentially 6 and 7 play eachother...it makes no sense at all the extra poopy part about it is that toronto is most likely one of the two teams getting the shaft. In other news...matty didnt skip a beat eh...marner 6 pts in 2 games...Johnny T pots two...firing on all cylinders, and nylander joins in next week...oooo wwwweeee Gotta love that all of the buzz is about Marner and Matthews, while Tavares is quietly on pace for a measly 53 goals lmao Edited November 29, 2018 by AKRISONER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Agreed with the guys who mentioned how horrible the playoff structure is now. I think it is the worst format it has ever been. I was a fan of 1 vs 8. I'd be an even bigger fan of 1 vs 16. I've heard a lot of the experts saying doing 1 vs 16 the problem is the potential travel time. If you have Boston vs San Jose in the first round, the travel really isn't fair. To that I would recommend they change the playoff format as well from the current 2 home, 2 road, 1 home, 1 road, 1 home to 2 road, 3 home, 1 road, 1 home. I always hated how 'home ice' meant you have to win both at home to open up or you lose the advantage. With my format (I think they do this for baseball) you win 1 of the first 2 on the road and you have home ice advantage, then you get 3 at home with a potential to close out at home. Takes the pressure off of the top seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) A totally dumb way to do it, needlessly complicated too. It should be 1 vs 8. If the season ended now, the Leafs would play Tampa. What kind of reward is that for TOR and TAM having excellent seasons? It makes a long season even less meaningful. I think this system was set up to create division rivalries. That's fine, but it still should be 1 vs 8 when the playoffs start.

jimmer Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I agree with everyone, the playoff format stinks. I did hear the explanation of why this format was put in place, but I still didn't get it and can't remember why they went this route. Something about rivalries???? Rivalries can beginning in the playoffs for grumps sake! The game last night showed the Leaf's amazing speed with an exclamation mark. They also seemed much more creative if that's possible with only one player being added. He seems to be able to raise everyone's game when he is playing.

Was the play of the game. He didn't even slow down while grabbing the stick. Between that play and Tavares first goal, dear god is Marner ever good.

Jds63 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Matthews just doesn't realise his impact here in the big smoke yet …. Could these guys take us to the promised land ????? Hold on to your hats !!!!!! Coming back off a injury and potting 2 goals and an assist … get your Matthews jersey's boys !!! he maybe the real deal … I have 3 jerseys (Gilmour , Domi, Sundin ….) may have to add a 4rth now .. wifes gonna kill me …LOL Hard to get your head around the Talent on this team …. (Mathews , Tavares, Marner, Andersen, Riley , Nylander ?, Kapanen ….. Analysts say if they sign Nylander they will probably trade him next year.

Don't schedule any off the grid fishing trips for late May/ early June Julian, lol, I know I'm not, just in case. IMO there's about 6 teams that have a decent shot, including the Leafs. So, with everyone staying healthy, a bit of luck and some bounces, it's possible. Edited November 29, 2018 by chris.brock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I was watching the highlights from the Boston game (not to jynx the kid) does Marner ever remind me of Gilmour. If he gets a chance to set up, especially behind the opponents net, its gonna be a good scoring chance. The speed, the vision. Its incredible!
