But I was steamed after that 2nd period. Leafs really need "razor" to step it up considerably if they want to get anywhere. That and get another brain other than Kaberle's for the defensemen to all share. <BR/><BR/>Frankly, I'm happy the leafs denied the habs a place in the postseason. I'm almost hoping the isles win tomorrow to save us the mocking if the leafs get blown out in the first round. Although, they have slapped buffalo around on occasion. <BR/><BR/>I'd frankly rather not have leafs management point to the being in the playoffs as a "success", frankly it was just there were more teams in the east who sucked even worse than them.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744774856513097222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31097487.post-43790601844190154302007-04-07T23:43:00.000-07:002007-04-07T23:43:00.000-07:00"they're already written off by everyone, and for ..."they're already written off by everyone, and for some reason that's when they tend to do their best."<BR/><BR/>It's true. I wouldn't write them off completely against the Sabres if they make it, but the odds are stacked against them.<BR/>This team has to learn in the next few days to play better defensively or they are fucked. <BR/>I do admire how the Buds step it up considerably in the post season though, but even so, they are always prone to give up a lot of odd-man rushes.Sean Zandberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367951232268606248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31097487.post-10173845665420451662007-04-07T22:49:00.000-07:002007-04-07T22:49:00.000-07:00you'd hope Lou won't... but still, I refuse to get...you'd hope Lou won't... but still, I refuse to get too excited until after the game. the leafs may not be good at many things, but they are good at crushing hopes and dreams; witness the past 50 years.<BR/><BR/>even if they make it in, i don't put too much hope into them making it through the first round. except that they're already written off by everyone, and for some reason that's when they tend to do their best.<BR/><BR/>maybe they should get a few more serious injuries to spark them to a winning streak...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31097487.post-59274324901944599632007-04-07T20:08:00.000-07:002007-04-07T20:08:00.000-07:00I don't know if the Isles have a chance tomorrow. ...I don't know if the Isles have a chance tomorrow.
