Can The Toronto Maple Leafs Catch The Boston Bruins For The Division Title?



On Episode 88 of the Gluttons For Punishment Podcast, Michael Lepore and Anthony Bruno discuss where the Toronto Maple Leafs stand at the halfway point of the season and whether they can catch the Boston Bruins for the Atlantic Division title. They also give their thoughts on Mitch Marner being named as the Leafs’ lone selection to the 2023 NHL All-Star Game and whether the Montreal Canadiens, or any team for that matter, should consider trading their best young player and draft picks for Connor Bedard.

    Unfortunately, the Atlantic Division already looks like it's a wrap at the halfway point of the season with the Bruins playing at a 139-point pace. The Leafs could finish with the 2nd or 3rd best record in the NHL and still get the Lightning in round 1! 😅

    Simple answer YES!!! Better question to ask is…

    Will the leafs choke again in the first round??? I say YES as well!!! BOOK IT!!!

    Division is locked in 💯

    Unfortunately this is one of the changes to the league that is ruining NHL hockey. 4 months left to play with 90-95% of the format already locked in.

    Wake me up in April when it’s game 1 of Leafs vs Tampa I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Boston will need to go on a skid and everything would have to go right for us to catch Boston….we play them soon so let's show them who's boss for the 2nd time this year ✅. As for facing Tampa….Leafs are a different team than last year, and I think we can defeat them. Would be the best scenario EVER to show the "1st round demons" have been put to bed. ✅

    The couple bad goalie performances were bound to happen and one-offs….both guys had snap back great games. We NEVER had goaltending this good last year . Fans need to stop jumping the gun .

    WOULDN'T it be something the LEAFS kick the SHIT out of the Boston Licker and his Bruzzers …Lmao …WHICH it could REALLY happen

    I hope so but the Bruins are a very well built team competing everynight for regular season respect. Expect Boston to finish with close to 120 points so catching them is going to be difficult. Home ice advantage in the first round is key regardless if it's Tampa, Detroit or Buffalo hosting the deciding game could be the difference to breaking our game 7 jinx. Good luck Leafs the nation stands proud with your quest to find the Stanley. 🌎 Cup

    Here's two more fun Bruins stats for you:
    In the third period alone, their +/- is a +38
    In the 4 games since 2023 started, the score in the 3rd period is Bruins 9 – Opponents 0

    P.S. Completely agree that the league needs to change the playoff format

    The Bruins TRULY roll 4 solid lines. Come on -they have a former league MVP playing VERY well on their THIRD line. Their 4th line puts up points and plays very hard. NO other team can touch that…. look at their 3rd period scoring advantage….. why? No – not luck – it is because they wear other teams out who cannot roll 4 lines …. by the time the 3rd rolls around the B's are just gonna stomp you…. sorry… this team is special.

    Everyone gets so fixated on trying to win a title who cares make the playoffs and actually do something in them. Toronto’s gonna go down as one of the best regular season teams in history.
