Leafs tomorrow will be fun unless Leafs blowout. A Florida blowout and the resulting meltdown would be great. As would a bonehead error leading to a late Fl win. My celtics are breaking my heart so I am feeling especially cruel.

They still played hard enough to beat the Pens late in the year to punt the Pens from the playoffs, so they were also playing straight up. They did the same to the Sens. So I dunno, everyone involved in 2010 is either gone or fired. I think it's time we get over that and just move on with getting that franchise back to being good. It's good for league revenue and it's good for the game. I think that was one of the best possible places for him to land. Agreed that Montreal and Detroit were probably also decent spots. But lol Anaheim and Columbus. Those markets are basically irrelevant to the good of the game.
Living in Columbus now, and the majority of Blue Jackets fans have been crying "fixed" since the draft lottery. It's amusing. Even after seeing a video of the drawing, they claim it's rigged. I can't wait to wear my Blackhawks Bedard jersey to Blue Jackets games next year. Definitely going to be unpopular. Lol

The universe does deserve the comedy that would follow a sweep. Makes up for like 1% of the other goings on in this crazy world.

Price has been moving pretty up and down over here.

I'm torn, because the Leafs needing to start Woll is the sort of thing that might actually get them to try for a game or two. It's kind of a decent setup for a 4-3 Leafs win. Think the over is what I'm interested in. I'm a bit hesitant to bet Florida at only +105.

Yeah, it started out at something like FL+125 and Tor -120. It's definitely been moving. It's back up to -115/+104 Tor/Fl from the -109/-101 I saw an hour ago.

I'm just betting on the hot team in a close out game at home, especially with the Leafs having to roll Woll.

O 6.5 at -129 seems meh. These teams haven't gone over that total in the first 3 games. Woll's potential shakiness could also be another reason to favor the O, although, if you think the Leafs rally for a game or two around Woll, that would favor the U, imo.

FL +1.5 is interesting, but that's -228. 4-2 win, 3-2 win, 3-2 OT win. I don't see them losing by more than a goal if they do, unless it's an empty netter.

Maybe last chance to see this Leafs team before the lot gets cleared out, lol. The goal was to get past the 1st round, but the way the 2nd round has gone is back to not good.

100% agree. It was a totally stupid move on his part and vgk can't afford to lose him.

from what I'm gathering, vgk feels that the oilers have been getting away with some dirty stuff - in particular on mark stone - but what pietrangelo did isn't the way to deal with that.

Hey Vegas is right they were giving him some two handed cross checks in Game 2 but what Alex did was intent to injure and reckless
