ECQF Game 6: Bruins @ Leafs 3PM CBC/SN

[Captain And Coke]

All the Toronto fans that laughed at the Jets last night.

Karma is a *****.

The difference is Toronto is still playing.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It seems like the last 5 or 6 seasons or so the trend has been to pull the goalie with 2 minutes instead of 1. I've always hated that strategy especially if your team has been pressing hard 5 on 5. One lucky shot down the ice and the game is over.

I've heard that statistically it makes sense to pull the goalie even earlier than most coaches due, but i have to say watching games I agree with you.

Especially because Toronto was losing puck battles to the Bruins most of the game but were managing counterattacks. You couldn't really count on them keeping the puck deep long enough to get the 6th man out there.

 

[Petrus]

Boston played a complete game.

 

[BeLeafInTheFuture]

Better team won tonight again, Leafs need to stop allowing teams to go up 2-0 and actually get some good penalty kills on the board.

 

[Harry22]

I seem to recall a Leafs fan saying to book Toronto’s ticket for the 2nd round.

There was a Toronto poster who said this series was over and done with in another thread. If you find him, you might want to remove his posting privileges.

 

[Sonic Disturbance]

Leafs played good at the beginning and good at the end. Were terrible in the late 1st and entire 2nd period. Well-deserved Bruins win. Toronto missed so many shots. Need to hit the net.

 

[Rocko604]

Chara with a punch to the back of the head.
How does that pylon get away with his s**t?

When?

For one more game......

 

[The Drop]

All the Toronto fans that laughed at the Jets last night.

Karma is a *****.

They aren’t eliminated tho

Not for long.

Tee time is on Wednesday.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Always a battle, always takes 7 games. Might be the best current rivalry in the east at least. Should be a fun Tueaday.

 

[Gobben]

I mean I know they are down by 2 with under a minute but the Leafs look like they resigned to a game 7....not a good look.

Think they had a good push and that Bruins was under the cosh, but Marchand was too good for them in that goal.

 

[SotasicA]

An embarrassingly quiet Scotiabank Arena. The Leafs made a good push there at the end, five minutes to go, BIG THINGS HAPPENING, possibly the final home game of the season, TEAM IN NEED OF SUPPORT, and the place was a morgue.

And that's the home of the biggest fanbase in the NHL. Carolina, Vegas, Nashville, Columbus, Long Island fans, so called "small markets" rock those corporate assholes sitting on their hands today. All other Canadian teams had better support. Flames, Jets fans have nothing to be ashamed of.

WTF Leafies? I understand it's a matinee game, but THAT'S the last home game of the season?

 

[MattMartin]

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!

 

[LarKing]

Boston played an excellent game. Toronto just can’t bring it for 30 minutes. You’ll never beat the best teams like that. If they play at 100% for a full 60, I have no doubt they win Game 7 though.

 

[swiftwin]

Kadri?

Yeah, but that wasn't Kadri's fault. It was the refs fault for not calling more penalties earlier that game. Kadri is blameless.

 

[Sojourn]

This could be going to OT if Anderson doesn't let in that soft Marchand goal in the first. Still, this is also why you do not wait until the 3rd to actually start playing. Boston earned this win. Credit where it is due.

This game could have been over after the 2nd, if Andersen hadn’t been the best player for Toronto through 2.

 

[BeLeafInTheFuture]

Well another game 7 and potentially another looming choke job from the Leafs again, they never cease to amaze me.

 

[hatterson]

Yet another Game 7, cant see this one ending differently.

Bruins have all the momentum again. Might not even spot the Leafs a third period lead this time.

Again? Last year the Leafs had won 2 straight....

 

[Kingsfan1]

Man idk who will win in game 7, can’t decide but it’s gonna be a must f***en watch game .

 

[illpucks]

I'm not convinced Boston is a good team. Without Brad Marchand this game would be easy win for Leafs. Leafs looked like better team even in the loss.

 

[Saekk]

Oh boy oh boy, if Leafs loses game 7 now.

 

[Pay Carl]

Man what a game

This one had to go 7

 

[NinjaKick]

those 2 stupid... just stupid penalties in the 1st did it... Freddy was just amazing, a couple of saves that were candidate for save of the playoffs thus far imo... it could have easily been 5-1 if not for him

and ******* Chara.... can someone please scream out his name when you see him walking on the street so he can hit his head on a traffic light?...
