Just long enough to piss off LA Kings!!!Wasn’t Jones a Bruin for a few hrs
I hope he doesn’t piss of Bruins fans.Just long enough to piss off LA Kings!!!
Yeah I have SportsNet but might watch the games on line so I get the NESM feed not the greatest feed but ,I would just turn the sound down low or off on SportsNet but the wife likes the volume up because she tends to be doing something on her tablet while watching the games.I don’t know about you guys but I’m muting the Sportsnet announcers for the entire series and I’m not watching one second of any Sportsnet pre or post game coverage . I will come here before and after games .
He'd say winning in 1st Round is first, last, and only thing on his mind. But what he feels (perhaps even subconsciously) is really the question. As you suggest, the answer to that is not something to be sure of.If you asked Matthews if it was more important to him to get his 70th goal tonight or beat the Bruins which one do you think he would pick? The fact that I’m not sure what his answer would be sums how I feel about the him and the Leafs.
The Leafs are way more talented than the Bruins, but just about the softest team in the league. This series is definitely not a guaranteed win, but I’m much more confident in the Bruins chances against the Leafs than I would’ve been against the Lightning.
At least the leafs tried to add som grit in Domi, Bertuzzi and Revis.
We got Hienin and van Riemsdyk and of course the did try with Lucic.
I think I mentioned it before, but they are now what we used to be to Montreal. I get it. Back in high school, college, even a little after I think, I used to beg for Montreal in the playoffs. Everybody in my circle that was older than me would tell me I was stupid but I wouldn't listen. Didn't matter what the standings were, or what history told me, I wanted Montreal every night.Stay off the main boards Yikes. Leaf fans out in full force telling the world how much better they are, how gonna smoke us. I don't get where they get their cockiness and confidence. Certainly not from any kind of success. It's mind boggling how obnoxious they are
I asked on another site would Leaf fans look at his regular season accomplishments with as much admiration if they went out in the first round and he had a sub par performance. Man some of the Leaf fans that were on it went ballistic against me ,I guess questioning their god isn’t allowed.If you asked Matthews if it was more important to him to get his 70th goal tonight or beat the Bruins which one do you think he would pick?

It is only going to get worse.You don't think Brazeau, Peeke and Maroon give us some toughness?
Man this board...
He's ridiculous as an offensive threat - but man o man if he ever decided to start playing a punishing physical game he would destroy the league. Even if he just picked 2 shifts a gameIf you asked Matthews if it was more important to him to get his 70th goal tonight or beat the Bruins which one do you think he would pick?

Well you know they're going to target Marchand and Pastrnak like they did last game. Hopefully it'll work out just as well for emFirst time in awhile I can say the Leafs have a little more chaos factor in their lineup than us. I expect to be fully sick of Bertuzzi, Domi, Edmunson and McCabe by the end of this.
I expect Bertuzzi to have a an impact also unfortunately.
Is the fanbase already using injuries as a possible excuse with a series that hasn't begun?
Bruins are the better team. By a lot. All that matters is how they matchup against each other at this point.
Brazeau and Maroon will play less the 8 minutes a gameYou don't think Brazeau, Peeke and Maroon give us some toughness?
Man this board...
Yeah but we could say the same for pretty much every Bruins player that series.Bertuzzi produced a lot of points last year in the playoffs, but he also commited some terrible turnovers that directly led to Panther goals.
Depends on the goaltending in my opinion. If Swayman and Ullmark can play like they did in the playoffs like they have all season it’s a huge advantage but if we get what we have seen the last two playoffs then I would bet on the Leafs . Whatever Montgomery decides to do I don’t think he will hesitate this time around to switch things up .Don't think that is really true.
Thank you. I don't understand people "afraid" of the big narrative / media / whatever going in. That's what makes it better. If we lose to the Leafs blueline and goaltending then we deserve it.
They will be bulling Pasta from puck drop, Put Maroon on his wingFirst time in awhile I can say the Leafs have a little more chaos factor in their lineup than us. I expect to be fully sick of Bertuzzi, Domi, Edmunson and McCabe by the end of this.
Bruins goaltending will be the least of my worriesDepends on the goaltending in my opinion.
