Is it too early to start believing in the perennial loser Leafs? Now up 2 games to 1, could this finally be a year where they do some damage. Haven't won division since 2000, and haven't won cup since 67, longest drought in league.

They can play all night for all I care I cashed my over in the 3rd period and that's all that matters. Of course I'm just watching now because this has been an awesome game and it might go on for a while.

I wonder what the odds were on that?

**Checkerboard** · 05-26-21, 09:14 AM

Leafs better walk the date home over habs. Yaayyy Jets!

**batt33** · 05-26-21, 12:39 PM

Should be a great night. 3 games with every team facing elimination. 2 of the 3 facing elimination on the road !

**mr. leisure** · 05-26-21, 08:12 PM

Pens are out

**yisman** · 05-26-21, 09:08 PM

sad to see PIT and EDM go down so quickly.

**jrgum3** · 05-26-21, 11:08 PM

Vegas is going to be popping Friday night for a Game 7 against Minnesota. The only sad thing is that both of these teams is good enough to beat Colorado and one of them is going home. At least we get a Game 7 on Friday night should be a good one.

**Checkerboard** · 05-27-21, 09:26 AM

Let's see if Leafs can close it out early tonight, instead of their usual habit of making it harder on themselves.

cant wait! nothing better than a game 7!

Nashville trying to force Game 7,. Hope they do

**Checkerboard** · 05-27-21, 11:14 PM

Toronto loses in OT, Montreal with a chance now to tie series up.

OT , lets go Preds .

Bummer , Canes win .

**yisman** · 05-28-21, 10:08 PM

Vegas advances .

**jrgum3** · 05-28-21, 11:19 PM

Good game tonight but it didn't have the drama I anticipated. Vegas won that easily setting up a showdown with Colorado. I really think the winner of the West division finals will win the Stanley Cup.

**Checkerboard** · 05-29-21, 10:46 AM

Habs big dog tonight facing elimination again, trying to force a game 7.

**mr. leisure** · 05-29-21, 03:20 PM

Thinking the Leafs close it out tonight .

I think so too I took them -0.5 1p as I think they come out fast and lead after 1 period. I don't think they want to go 7 games with the Habs as anything can happen in a game 7 so I'm with you Leafs take this one tonight.

Welp that definitely didn't go as planned for me or the Leafs. Now the Habs have a chance to steal this series and all the pressure is on the Leafs because nobody expected the Habs to be in this position.

**yisman** · 05-29-21, 10:49 PM

I keep betting Toronto and paying the price. Bad month.

**mr. leisure** · 05-29-21, 11:11 PM

A hell of a game , Toronto out shoots montreal 13-2 in OT , a turnover and they give up a goal .

Game 7 is going to be epic .

I'd like to see the Leafs win, but when I saw them go up 3-1 in the series, I right away though start taking Habs. Leafs have that long history of choking on leads.

Win or lose, I'll stick with the Habs for game 7, and I want to see the Leafs win.

**hotcross** · 05-30-21, 01:45 PM

I had the exact same thoughts, Checkerboard

Next thought, if Habs advance, thinking Winnipeg could be the sleeper team to make the Final

**yisman** · 05-30-21, 08:02 PM

Colorado just keeps rolling. I think they'd beat Winnipeg.

**mr. leisure** · 05-30-21, 11:14 PM

Colorado going to be hard to beat .

**jrgum3** · 05-31-21, 12:40 AM

I think they've been the best team all year long. That's why I picked them to win the cup in the NHL contest. Of course I also picked Toronto to meet them in the Finals which might happen but not if Toronto chokes tomorrow night.

Now that we're doubting Toronto, watch them pull off a 5-1 type of game to advance.

**Otters27** · 05-31-21, 11:04 AM

I'm going to the Toronto well one more time

I placed a Cup Futures on them when they had that funk losing streak a bit before the very end of the regular season

Have not been eager to wager on these individual playoff games, but Leafs should not lose 3 games in a row to this Habs team

Also, looking at it like this... all other divisions we get the best 2 teams facing off in Round 2...

Colorado vs Vegas
Boston vs Islanders
Tampa vs Carolina
For the North, its Toronto and Winnipeg

**yisman** · 05-31-21, 09:52 PM

just smh at toronto AGAIN

**jrgum3** · 05-31-21, 10:06 PM

Toronto has some soul searching to do this off season. They definitely shouldn't have lost this series to the Habs but tip your cap to the Habs and especially Carey Price he was on his game at the absolute right time for the Habs and is a big reason why they came back to take the series.
