11th in goals/game, too (excluding guys who only played a handful of games, obviously). His down seasons are still career years for the overwhelming majority of the league.

The sens almost always had got the better of the Leafs in the regular season in the years they met in the playoffs. Regular season head-to-head doesn't mean much once the playoffs start. Playing a series against the same team is a very different beast than a game here and there during the...

In theory, yeah. They may have to play a game with not enough players to make that option available (we've seen that be the case in the past). Not sure how much scrutiny the league would give to a move like that, though.

I mean, that's generally how the playoffs work these days. There are very few - if any - matchups that don't have potential to be a handful for their opposition.

Problem is that, right now, the Leafs don't have the cap space to bring up extra players to cover for guys to sit and rest. They have to go with the healthy bodies they have on the roster. Because they're in LTIR space, they have to be able to fit the full season's cap hit, and they have less...

Yup. I'm just including that 5th point until the tiebreaker is secured. Same thing recently happened with Ottawa - the Leafs clinched that tiebreaker with their win on Saturday.

Update on the chase for 1st place in the Atlantic. Magic numbers for the Leafs to eliminate the teams behind them: TB - 9 FLA - 5 OTT - 2

The leafs and bruins were locked in as a matchup for weeks before the end of last season.

I wonder if fatigue is starting to set in for Florida. They’ve played more games in the last couple seasons than anyone else. Some tough losses in there, as well as some significant injuries, but they’re really fading badly.

In classic style, no less.

Update on the chase for 1st place in the Atlantic. Magic numbers for the Leafs to eliminate the teams behind them: TB - 12 FLA - 11 OTT - 5

He just needs a torpedo bat

Early season win streaks do wonders!

Playoff spot officially clinched! Chase for 1st in the Atlantic is in full swing. Magic numbers for the Leafs to eliminate the teams behind them: TB - 14 FLA - 11 OTT - 5

Magic numbers for the Leafs to officially eliminate the possibility of teams from passing them (not including FLA & TB, because they both basically require clean sweeps at this point): OTT - 7 MON - 1 CBJ - 1 NYI, NYR, DET, BOS, PIT, PHI & BUF already eliminated. Leafs can clinch a playoff...

Yup. If Stolarz is going to start in the playoffs, he has to be able to perform against a team like Florida. Tonight is when the real auditions for game 1 of round 1 begin.

Yeah. Even though some of the performances weren't great, I'll gladly take a split with the O's right now, considering the expected strengths of the two teams. Still a lot to figure out, but we're not even a week into the season. I don't have high expectations of this team, but, I do think they...

I would, too. Clinching a playoff spot is a non-issue for the team right now - it'll happen in the next few days, one way or another - but the top spot in the division still requires a lot of work and the Leafs will take all the help they can get there.

Sure. Except it’s tomorrow.
