Chat No spectators at the games will help the Leafs more than any other team.

Sure it won't be as fun without all the fans at the games. But the ACC has been known as the quietest rink in the NHL. The Leaf players are now used to playing in front of a quiet crowd. Most of the time, it's as quiet as a library for seniors. But by not having to play road games where opposing fans are constantly harrassing them, will be a huge advantage for the Leafs. I just hope they don't blow it again. They seem to always do.

It'll be entertaining to watch but it's not the same, I think a lot of people are still going to put an asterisk beside the champs even if the league doesn't, especially if one of the fringe teams pull it off and win the cup, not just hockey but all the league's this year are forcing a playoff because of money, especially those fat tv contracts so regardless of whomever wins, I think there should be an asterisk, especially when players that would've played injured or not at all have recovered enough to play for their teams.

With the Leafs approaching the 54 year drought that the Rangers previously had, asterisk or NO asterisk, if the Leafs finally win by divine intervention, I'd still take it, no matter what.

Now that Anderson is well rested, I hope the Leafs will be successful this year. The Leafs shouldn't have problem defeating the Blue Jackets in teh first round. We will worry about the Bruins later

I wouldn't be too confident in beating CBJ 3-0 for the series win, prior to the pandemic I think CBJ was the team to score the fewest goals but also the team that allowed the fewest as well, they play well and they were a lot more consistent than the leafs, BUT after such a long break it's basically a new season so anyone who's in has a fighting chance, if divine intervention does let the Leafs win, I hope the city learned from the raptors parade.

Too much rest is a concern for Andersen. And we may not need to worry about the Bruins. They'll be eliminated in the first round.
