Threshing is on for tomorrow but I might go to bed early and try to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the game.
If we can't beat the ducks then there truly is no hope.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

The playoffs are the Second Season.

If you can just make it there, you never know who is going to get on a roll all of a sudden

It's more an issue of looking who the Loafs would have to get through

Tampa, Boston, Washington is a tall order

A Stanley Cup Finalist and two Stanley Cup Champions

It really comes down to experience, and the Leafs are still very young and inexperienced

There's always hope until you're out, Washington did come a hairs breadth away and then went on to win

Realistically though, don't bet the farm.

This game has been a combination of the previous two games

Low Energy Loafs shooting blanks, and running around in their own zone at the same time

9:00 left in the third away from being shutout two straight games

0-2 Ducks

Looks like both Loafs East and Loafs West are gonna lose to the Ducks back to back, sad. Of course the Avs got a point out of the game, hit one million goal posts, Miller stood on his head, and they outplayed them very clearly, so at least they have that.

Loafs East is in another one of their spirals,

They've gone completely flat, no energy, they've flamed out offensively on top of their defensive woes

Keefe pulls the goalie with three minutes left with nothing to lose

Nylander steals the puck and shoots it in the net, 30th of the season

1-2

Too little too late, they pull the goalie again, but the power play continues to flounder

They play the three worst teams in the West and only get one point

Pathetic

Avs defense played horrendous tonight, leaving dudes wide open in front of the net and shit. Brutal.

Anaheim is missing their entire top four on defense, that's how pathetic this was

Matthews, Marner, Tavares, all bumbling around playing sloppy

Nylander was actually the best forward on this road trip

Both goalies were great, so they squandered their rock solid goaltending

If it wasn't for The Hockey Gods and Ryan Miller, the Avs would have steamrolled them, but they stole the game.
