Not surprised at all that the lower seed loses. Would have been surprising and an upset if Boston had lost. Boston has a deep team with lots of experience.

I’ve literally played sports and have had good poison. The excuses regardless if you are a fan or not are atrocious. It’s the playoffs and players have played with far worse. Do you hear yourself right now? Embarrassing
I know athletes who have had to sit out due to things like IBS. It's borderline debilitating at times.

Imagine being such a p***y that you take shit on the bench from William Nylander lol. Can’t make this shit up
I kept hearing "..but we're missing Nylander" all series up to this point..he comes back and what did he do? Took 3 shots and a bad penalty. Then he pisses off Marner on the bench. He probably isn't 100% but it's still comical :laugh:

This is just pathetic.
If JM didn't try to reinvent the wheel with Wario looking Ullmark in game 2, the Leafs would be on the Ladies' Golf Club of Toronto courses tomorrow honing their skills.

Garbage out (Dubas, Murray, Acciari, Bunting) replaced by the garbage in (Treliving, Domi, Reaves, etc.).

Can they focus on the megastars getting some secondary support to at least keep goals out?
Or is it just a constant state of:

Understandable, you can't blame him, one could get an illness when you are facing Carlo, McAvoy, Lindholm everytime you step on the ice. Still, it shouldn't excuse him. He has not been a factor with the exception of game 2. When you are a player of his stature, that's not nearly good enough.

Through all of the series played in the modern era, this year probably has the best team the Leafs have assembled and the worst team the Bruins have assembled.

And yet, the story plays out the same.
I saw it happen to Bruins vs habs .Billy Guerin still makes highlights on Jose Theodore save.

Yeah the teams are built different. The Leafs were a high scoring team missing one of their key scorers. They’re built to outscore their problems but lost their second best scorer.

It’s probably similar to Boston missing McAvoy or Pastrnak.

Nylander is somehow the equivalent of Pastrnak and McAvoy?
