All aboard the band wagon... were playoff bound.

OK Leaf fans..... its time to start the
bandwagon on its roll to the Holy Grail. Who's on board.

GO LEAFS GO.

A question, who thinks we can get home ice still?.

While I'm firmly on the bandwagon as well, did this really require it's own thread? (also, a bit premature?  Although I'm certain the Leafs will have clinched by the end of the week, if not by tomorrow morning!)

Also, home ice is definitely possible - especially if Carey Price's play from the last few games continues...

If they play their remaining six games anything like they've played their last 10 games, it will.

I'm not sure what a waggon is, but, I guess I'm in.

Its something you get on board with, and go for the ride. In this case were heading for the playoffs. so cheer away. ;D

I'm not sure what a waggon is, but, I guess I'm in.

Actually, it's an old variant spelling in British usage.  Probably an allusion by nutman to the famous collieries brass bands, which, in the days before locomotives, used to travel to engagements in horsedrawn wagons ("band waggons"), followed by throngs of what we would call today "fans" (short for "fanatics," as in fanatical followers of a sports team).  But nutman can explain this better, he's the etymology expert.

Is someone monitoring nutman?  I'm a little worried he'll explode.

I was imagining something like this...

...but even 'Chuck Wagon' dog food is not spelled 'waggon'
