Toronto, but I think it'll be a close one

Sorenson

who's this guy

[Matthew]

Sorenson

who's this guy

One of the many no name players on Toronto. Luckily for him he has ~ 6 Super studs.

[kyuss]

checked out Toronto's roster... it's Sorensen

[Chuck Norris]

Toronto. I predict Matthew's goalie situation will cost him the series.

[CasperX22]

Leafs should have the Ducks covered, but anything can happen.

[Matthew]

I think this will come down to goalies.

He has 3 insane centers (matthews, McD, bergy) but my 3 centers (aho, staal, gourde) are also all top 20 on fantrax, even if they are a step down. I have better wingers and our defenses are probably close.

picked anaheim, god help me

[kimmer]

ana

McDavid having two games and no Wheeler made me lean ANA.

[CanadianRednek(TOR)]

Either way should be fun. I'm hoping I can weather the storm this week and possibly get Wheeler back soon

[Matthew]

Auston Matthews shutout last night. 4 gp remaining between McD and matthews, so if I can weather those (aka they don't put up 15p in 4 gms) and get a couple goalie gp, I should be able to pull the win off. Currently up 8-4-4 with zero goalie starts.

[Matthew]

Sounds like Auston Matthews is day-to-day and will miss tonight's game. But also sounds like Nylander won't be back tonight. Vancouver game Saturday
Could get postponed. Would amount to zero gp of 4 for nylander and only 2 gp for Matthews this week.

I'll take it as it would mean I only need to face matthews twice and mcdavid twice this week.

I will need to get a goalie gp in the next 3 days regardless...

[Matthew]

I declare victory.

First ever playoff series. First ever playoff series win.

Thanks for the match, Toronto.

Looking forward to the winner of van/col.

Congrats.

Your playoff record will progressively get worse in the future

[thom54]

Booom!!

[Shoalzie]

Have we decided if we're reseeding after the first round?

[Bruyns]

Have we decided if we're reseeding after the first round?

Ya we said we were

[Matthew]

Congrats.

Your playoff record will progressively get worse in the future :)

That's it... I'm cheering for Thom.
