freddy was fantastic in game 3The crazy thing is that despite missing Kadri for 3 games, Freddy not showing up until last night, Matthews and Nylander being non factors, and the refs having a clear bias against us in a few games, we could still be up 3-2 in this series.
Unfortunately, we have zero margin for error now.
When all is said and done we are very due for a full 60 minute performance without bounces going the Bruins way everytime.
I think we win game 6 in convincing fashion.
I appreciate what they have done for the Leafs but there is really no scenario where it makes sense to commit to either one long term. The dollars really don't matter that much it is the term....If either was willing to take a one or two year contract then it would make sense. But there is basically a zero chance that they take that short of term. They will both be playing else where next season. Our depth really won't take much of a hit though, we will just have to lean on other players instead.Does everyone still think we should get rid of Bozak and JVR? They came up big for us in game 5 and I want them both back. Our depth takes a serious hit with them gone. JVR is a lock for 30+ goals for at least a few more seasons. Bozak wins faceoffs and is above average offensively. They were key to having the #2 PP.
They might buy into a home town discount because their chance of winning is much higher here than the clubs that will offer them contracts.
It just won't feel like the Leafs without them in the lineup.
Was so nice being there for the W last night. We've got this.
sorry but one good game from them doesnt change the fact that they have been invisible offensively 5v5 the other 4 games and are still a gong show in their own end. bozak i will give some credit to, at least this series hes showed some heart. but at the end of the day these are not the vets that i want teaching our younger kids the finer points of the game. to each his own thoughDoes everyone still think we should get rid of Bozak and JVR?

freddy was fantastic in game 3
He was mostly solid in game 3.freddy was fantastic in game 3
Time for these two to wake the **** up!
Adding two grinders alongside matthews was a huge help.Matthews was much better last night. But due to all the penalties in the 2nd it seemed like he missed most of the period.
Nylander I'd agree - need more from him with whatever center he's with.
I'm with you on that one!Let's hope it never finds its way to Toronto.
