If that's what you got out of my post then sure buddy

As I have said before the Leafs are simply not a legitimate Cup contender at this time. A lot of holes despite the tinted shades worn by so many Leafs fans.

Overall team defense and lack of quality D is so apparent.

Can anybody tell me what the name of the song with the bells is that just started playing?

I think that's a NFL films, football song. Don't know the name of it.

 

[The Drop]

Morgan Rielly has played great tonight

Ya. But he’s only a top pairing guy on the leafs. Not on a team with real dmen

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

leafs play great d with net empty

 

[GarbageGoal]

Bruins are just better.

 

[SenzZen]

6 more years of Zaitsev?

Likely only 2 more of Polak, though.

So there’s that!

 

[Bounces R Way]

If that wasn't smug satisfaction on Don Sweeney's face I don't know what is.

 

[Frenchy]

Time to call it a career.

3 bottles of beer on the wall, 3 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 2 bottles of beer on the wall.

They have years and years of great hockey ahead of them...

20 years old...

Leadership and performance have no age restriction...I've seen 20 years olds that are better leaders than veterans. I've also seen 20 year olds outperform veterans.

Matthews will be arguably one of the best players for the next decade...he's been f***ing awful when they needed him to step up this series.

 

[c9777666]

Has any team actually converted with the extra attacker trailing late?

Not an actual empty netter (ie Winnipeg game 3 vs. Minnesota), but scoring 6-on-5/4/3 whatever.

Last year, we had a lot of such goals. This year? Maybe 1 (Knights/Kings game 3)

 

[Advanced stats]

Welcome back Naz, you've been missed

 

[compan]

They will.

Well this is awkward. You insisted the Bruins would lose. Twice.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Nice little road trip. We'll take the 1 out of 2. Hopefully Bergeron's ok for game 5.

 

[valet]

look at the faceoff disparity without bergeron in the lineup... That's crazy, 2 to 1

Five classless Lafleurs Guys...

 

[Trap Jesus]

Is there a way for Babcock to shelter Matthews from the entire Bruins team in Game 5?

 

[HaNotsri]

Don Sweeney and Joe Sakic are TWO GM's that people ripped or rip on and they really shouldn't.

Recent play has indicated this.

Debrusk has been solid all year.

A lot of us thought highly of Konecny, Barzal and Connor. Sweeney wasn’t the only one to pass on them however and blame is really on the scouts.
But imagine if they went with the hfboards sweetheart prospects that time...

You know that's not true and you're just trying to piss off leafs fans.

Rielly is definitely a top 30 defenseman.

 

[Drift]

I have been impressed with Marner. Matthews not so much.

 

[powerstuck]

I'm not gonna call the series over just yet. But I prefer our chances for the remaining 3 games especially going back home up 3-1 than going even 2-2.

 

[c9777666]

They have years and years of great hockey ahead of them...

Other than maybe the 2006 Hurricanes, most recent Cup winners until Pittsburgh's repeat last year have had a frustrating playoff loss or two the year before a Cup run.

 

[ottawa]

Dude's a known leaf hater, nobody on our boards takes him seriously

Surprised you don't hate the leafs too right now

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Man the Bruins better figure out that Leafs speed.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Ole.... Ole Ole Ole Canadiens jouent au golf

Je crois qu’ils mangent de la poutine.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

All Series we heard The Leafs game plan was to get Matthews away from Bergeron.

Bergeron does not play, and Matthews is -2, with zero pts. That's your game and 3-1 series lead folks.
