Crosby now tied for 41st place in the NHL all-time scoring list, on par with Beliveau and Larry Murphy. Ten points to go and he'll enter the Top 40. Amazing player he is.

 

If everything goes according to plan and at this rate, he'll slip past Iginla in 34th place by the end of the season.

For the Leafs this season it's all about the D. We can score as well as anyone, but can we keep the puck out of our goal.

 

Based on Saturday's game vs Montreal, I'm not too optimistic 

 

And worst of all, now @Jattdoggis going to come in here waving his g'damn Habs flag all over the place!

He'll certainly get a nice new helmet.

Crosby's back from injury and has a four-point game. Incredible athlete.

 

Shame he's missed 28 games already. But maybe, just maybe if he keeps this up, he may even hit a 100 points again...

Even 400 or 500 is a crazy achievement. 700 puts him in very rare air.

The NHL is back.

 

Straight into the playoffs.

 

Bit weird since its now August, but...game on!

 

Habs and Pens looks like the most interesting first round match up.

All the teams to get through have done so reasonably comfortably. I think who ever wins the Avs Stars series makes it from the West but I’m not so sure about the East. Boston and Tampa must be favourites but Philly and the Isles are playing well. 
 

I don’t usually root for former players but if Andy Greene could lift the cup that would be sweet 

[spacemunky]

Leafs were up 5-1 on the Sens tonight.

 

Lost 6-5 in OT 

[spacemunky]

Leafs on an incredible roll led by goalie Jack Campbell, who's undefeated in his 11 starts this season.

 

Matthews and Marner tearing it up offensively.

Despite the good run, not good defensively.

 

We're fun to watch, but still won't beat the Caps or Lightning in a playoff series.

Habs will win again before the leafs and we have no chance right now..

 

I remember our last cup and it seems like forever. Dont know how you lot suffer  so much

[ShadowKing]

The Avs are having a great season and I could see them winning the whole thing as long as Grubauer does not get injured.

Simply an amazing player, his technical and skating skills are phenomenal.

For the first time in over 40 years, Montreal and Toronto will face each other in the playoffs.

As long as he is healthy Edmonton have a shot, but if they crash out in the 1st round I wonder if McDavid will want a trade or try to get management to make changes.

Yeah, only took a pandemic and all canadian division to make it happen. Habs have a chance to make a run of it if Price is up to it.

The Oilers have failed with their numerous number 1 & high draft picks to turn their franchise into a dominant one like in the 80's. In McDavid & Draisaitl they have amazing talent offensively and are elite players from the draft.... However you cant win a cup with 1 line. Is their depth adequate? What about the Goaltending situation, Is Smith really going to win a cup? I have doubts!

I think both the Oilers and Leafs have similar problems in that regard. Lot's of fire power, but big questions with the D and goaltending.

 

Of course, I'd love to see a Leafs/Oilers matchup, unfortunately it would be in the 2nd round of the playoffs, if it happens.

[ShadowKing]

I didnt pay attention to the Canadian division so I could be wrong, but wasn't that division very offensive?

 

When you look at those 4 teams compared to the other divisions goaltending and defense aren't that great. As long as Mike Smith only lets in 3 goals or less a game they have a great chance.

[ShadowKing]

Today big game for the Avs, win today and they get the president trophy and guaranteed home ice advantage through the playoffs.
