Good first two games by the Bruins. Leafs are looking like the Solar Bears so far.

Boston is an old and slow one-lined team. Let's see if their unmaintainable crash-and-bang style continues tonight - bet you it doesn't.

Leafs are now home, eating Momma's homemade ragu, ready to hit the ice with the fans loosing their shit to cheer them on.

Leafs in 6. And it'll look easy.

Can we not? If we win 4 straight games it sure won't be easy. Why do we keep giving Bruins fans ammo against us?

They are like .6 of a year older on average and thats with 41 year old Chara. Bruins have 6 rookies and overall team speed seems to be no issue. Keep saying this though. Maybe wish on a star and click your heels together and Bergeron, Marchand will age 15 years and stop lighting the leafs up so hard.

I'm not sure where the idea that the Bruins are old or big comes from. The graphics below show they're actually young and small. In fact Toronto is both older and bigger.

Bruins are an old and slow one-lined team? You should have watched the bruins a little bit more this season...

Bruins keep it rolling.

Agreed.

David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron are showing all the signs of slowing down due to age...

Oh, I don't doubt that the Bruins will be ready. They'll just worn down from running into the boards so much and they'll look like they have the vast majority of the times the two teams have played over the past two seasons.

Leafs are the better team. Favourable matches at home are going to expose Boston.

If Boston comes out and starts getting physical they'll murk the Leafs at home. The Leafs are pretty damn soft from 1st line forward to 3rd pair D. Wingels looks like he's back in, and Riley Nash, too. The Bruins roster has gotten better.

Bruins are solid from top to bottom. Its a team full of strong defensive forwards

Bruins prob start the game with their 4th line . It doesn't matter

I see, so the Bruins have just been competing too hard in this series.

Never would have thought it would be their downfall :(
