There is pressure for them to make the playoffs and do good in the playoffs, just head into the Preds topic. As for Toronto having pressure the only other place I can think of is Montreal where the pressure is greater. At the same time though, it is a little bit crazy that people put their whole lives into ANY team that they cheer for.

I love my Penguins and Thrashers to death, but I'm not going apesh!t and calling for someone's head if they miss the playoffs. Would it be a disappointment if either team missed the playoffs, sure, but life goes on.
