Leafs are winning this one! GLG.

 

[BB79]

Let's go B's, send the Leafs to the golf course next week

Who will start in goal? Boston coach Jim Montgomery isn’t saying.

“Do you guys play Wordle?” he asked the media on Monday morning. “… The goalie tonight has two vowels in his first and last name.”

now THAT is a game day thread!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Leafs haven’t beat Boston in the playoffs since 1959. I don’t see that changing.
Bruins take game 2.

 

[TMLegend]

Leafs will probably win this one, they don't usually lay two eggs in a row.

I'm expecting a good performance from them.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

Ez 2-0 series lead tonight for the Bruins .

“Do you guys play Wordle?” he asked the media on Monday morning. “… The goalie tonight has two vowels in his first and last name.”

I kept misreading this as “syllables” instead of “vowels” and was trying to figure it out. Now I feel silly.

Leafs in 5.

This will be a blowout. 6-0.

Bold strategy starting Brandon Bussi tonight but I respect the balls to do it

BRUINS WILL TONIGHT 4-2

Big game, must win for Toronto. If they lose again they are cooked.

Pretty big game for both teams - probably bigger for the Leafs.

However, if the Leafs can split the series without Nylander and regain home ice heading back to Game 3 where Nylander might play - it gives them the edge over Boston.

Boston has their own demons in the playoffs. Just gotta make em check under the bed

Imagine Sammy getting a shutout and one of these B's goalies letting in 5-6?

Man that would be something

LOVE the optimism!

That's the thing - Boston choked a 3-1 lead last year. It's not impossible being down 2-0 but you'd rather avoid it.

Nylander being out worked in their favour though. Took away the Leafs second best goalscorer and second highest scorer and no one knows why. It's not easy to replace a 40 goal/98 point guy.

That eliminates Tuukka Rask.
