Maple Leafs Fan Cheering Guide - February 2nd

PrintWell last night didn't go as well as hoped as it continued to draw out the battle for 3rd/9th place between Washington and Florida with the Panthers getting the 4-2 win. Hopefully tonight is a little kinder to the Buds.
Montreal Canadiens at New Jersey Devils
I can't believe it's come to this, but hold back the vitriol for one night and change your NO HABS NO chant to GO HABS GO. The Devils sit 1 point back of the Leafs with 2 games in hand and are desperately trying to make this the year they forfeit a pick for attempting cap circumvention the Playoffs. So tonight, we're hoping for a Habs win in regulation.
Winnipeg Jets at Tampa Bay Lightning
Even with the Leafs but 6 points back are the Atlanta-Winnipeg Jet-Thrashers. 4 points behind them, but with 2 games in hand are the Tampa Bay Lightning. What we're looking for here is good old parity. Let them duke it out for 3rd place in the worst conference in hockey while the Leafs make the Playoffs. Tonight, we want Lightning to strike as many times as they can against their former geographical neighbors. Tampa in regulation and it's all good.
Carolina Hurricanes at Boston Bruins
Despite one being a lock for the Playoffs and the other a lock for not the playoffs, SCS tells us that a Boston SO win will improve the Leafs playoff chances by 0.1%. Good enough for me. Go Bruins!

The Bruins result makes sense: we’re farther from catching Boston than Carolina is from catching us. We accept Boston as a sunk cost of sorts and hope they win every game not played against us because we have no hope of catching them.

Sometimes I shower both night and morning. Always morning and some nights after I go to the gym or hockey or something. Or in the summer on hot nights because I hate sleeping with that sticky feeling.

yeah, there’s a few teams like that.
for example, the SCHers will have to cheer for the Nucks when we play Detroit tonight and Nashville next week.

Wow that’s surprising. People were drooling over that kid not that long ago.
In the court of public opinion, Steve Simmons is Lionel Hutz.
One concern prior to the draft was that MPS had trouble finishing his shots. I think he’ll score goals eventually, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

I’m really proud of our team. Remember last season when we beat Washington in SO after trailing by 3 in the third? Or when we demolished them 7-1? Washington responded by going into a shame spiral, while we manned the fuck up last night.

If you exclude all the games against good teams, our record looks even better.

But now we can resume with FUCK THE HABS…

so lame.
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
NJ wins, Montreal gets closer to a top 5 pick, Tampa/Winnipeg go to OT and the team closest to us wins…everything went wrong. Luckily we can control our fate a bit by beating Ottawa
Is it just me, or do nights like tonight seem to being happening a lot lately?
by LeaferinOttawa on Feb 2, 2012 10:07 PM EST up reply actions
Yup. I don’t get how Florida and NJ can win so much…or at least go to OT. On the bright side, Ottawa is collapsing..and somehow we avoided Florida/Washington going to OT last night
I’m getting pretty used to the idea of NJ making the playoffs, but one (or several) of Washington, Florida, and Ottawa should fall back. Of course, if that happens theres a decent chance of the winner of the Southeast (i.e. the 3rd seed) having a lower point total than 8th.
by LeaferinOttawa on Feb 2, 2012 10:11 PM EST up reply actions
I feel fairly confident in the Leafs controlling their own fate here and think they’ll do what they have to to clinch the playoffs(!!!1) this year.
BUT. It’s entirely possible the Leafs miss the playoffs and end up with more points than the 3 seed. DON’T YOU DO IT, UNIVERSE.
Won’t happen unless the Jets really get it going. Can’t see us having more points then Washington and Florida and still not being in the top 8.

Actually, it’s next to impossible unless the Islanders, Buffalo or Montreal pick it up. Right now 9th, 10th, and 11th is in the Southeast Division. Sure, third place could possibly get in while having less points than the Leafs but that means that all the other teams in 9th, 10th, and 11th will have less points than TO as well.

I’m betting on Ottawa being the ones to drop out of the top 8. I also don’t think Winnipeg will make the playoffs. They’ve still got 14 road games coming up. And they got beat in 3 out of 4 home games in January anyway.
I think the top 8 will be like it is right now, but with Ottawa out and with Florida in.

The flipside is I guess teams like Florida / NJ are probably thinking the same about our games.
That's "Da-ooo". Like the drink.
I’m getting really sick of these nights where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.
If I bled any more blue, you'd think I wasn't human.
I don’t really think it’s particularly relevant to our playoffs chances, to be honest, but how the fuck did Carolina beat Boston?

honestly, i’m not worried for now. we got 3 of 4 points against the Penguins, and like all the papers say, our defense has really shored up its problem areas in 2012. We’re pretty low in GAA as a team.
Saturday we play Ottawa who will be on the second half of a back to back. Now, that didn’t go so well against Montreal two weeks ago but I think the Leafs will remember that lesson well. Also, on Tuesday we play Wintlanta at home, but they’ve lost 3 of their last 4 at home.
