ECQF: (2) Boston Bruins vs. (3) Toronto Maple Leafs | Series Tied at 3

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

I still remember Cherry taking the Toronto Sun to task for having 'Jo-Sieve' as their front page headline after losing to Ottawa 5-0 in Game 1 of the second round (I think that was just after the brutal 7 game series again the Isles that went completely homeside.)

Yeah, I remember this. Cujo was insane against us the rest of that series. Andersen is up to a .909 save percentage and he'll probably end up around .915 to .918 by the time playoffs are over, which is where he is historically. He seems to never get fazed, which given the amount of shit hits to the head he takes...is kinda remarkable lol.

Nash has never been a playoff performer. Too many years of not making the playoffs for most of his career broke him.

That's why I felt it was a stupid deadline acquisition in the first place. ah well not my team

Glad to see all the posters who predicted a sweep for the B’s are now eating big fat smelly crow.

Game 7 is gonna be off the hook. No idea who will take it, but either way, it will have been a crazy ****ing series.

Fair.

There’s also a lot of fans who were waiving the white flag after game 4 making their presences known, too.

They were skating circles around the Leafs most of the night

D’oh!

That’s probably what tired them out then. The point of hockey isn’t to skate circles, it’s to put the puck in the net.

Hope they learn that before Game 7 otherwise they need to pick up figure skating.

Nash is one of those guys who's been overrated his entire career and still has that "Star" quality thanks to the media, thus inflating his value.

Don't tell them!

 

[MyBudJT]

Can someone care to explain how the Bergeron line has been dominating the Leafs?

Now, imaging what these numbers would look like if you remove games one and two.

The point is they didnt look tired. Try to keep up with the conversation. I know Leafs fans aren't know for their focus.

Boston looks so dead tired and beat up.

Maybe this is where rolling 3 or 4 lines all season and 2 d pairings evenly all year will pay off.
Toronto has had balanced playing time all year(Matthews often only gets 15 minutes a game)

Leafs had so much jump the last couple games and Boston's moving like their in mud.


I'll say it: thanks Babs!

Didn't really notice Gardiner, who led Leafs in TOI. Probably a good thing.

Honestly, I thought the Bruins dominated Toronto last game. Tonight, not so much.

5 minutes at the end of the 1st, and a bit of the 2nd =/= most of the night.

Leafs locked down the 3rd. Bruins had no answers.

Why are we removing 2 games out of 6 game sample size?

 

[LeafFever]

Maybe Leaf fans were right about their depth?

Someone seems a little bit crusty after a leafs win.

As a Leafs fan I hope we can pull it off on Wednesday, but if we can't I'll be cheering for the Bruins in the east.

What with Humboldt and what happened in Toronto earlier today, and reading these threads, I think we as humans take sports way too serious.

 

[MyBudJT]

Why are we removing 2 games out of 6 game sample size?

I didn't. But if we removed the two games where the Leafs didn't show up, then one could make the argument the Leafs have been dominating the Bruin's line.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Wow I think the Leafs played their best game of the series tonight. Incredible effort in the third. I like how we didn't just sit back at the end and wait for Bruins to score. Here's to hoping Freddy continues playing this well! Leafs in 7.

This. I said it just a couple posts up.
We have more energy now.

Someone has to be a voice of reason in a sea of delusion lol

 

[Pi]

Key to #7:

Shut down Bergeron line like we have in the three games we won.

Leafs depth >>> Bruins depth.

 

[Ratboy]

Maybe Leaf fans were right about their depth?

no we're wrong, about everything

 

[SavedByRoy]

We get Game 7! Woohoo, what a game!

 

[Metroid]

Freddy gonna be haunting bruins in their sleep...
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, Better lock your door
Five, six, grab a crucifix.
Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, Never sleep again....
