Game 1 ECQF: Toronto Maple Leafs (3) at Boston Bruins (2) 7 PM ET | NBCSN, CBC, TVAS, NESN

I absolutely despise the bruins. That being said, Kadri is a piece of garbage. I hope Boston boat races Toronto 4 games straight..

You despise the Bruins but hope they sweep a team because of one player? Strange.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Babcock got SCHOooooled!!!

52 mil for that ??? Wow

 

[playasRus]

He quoted your post, not me.

Woops. Too much going on in this thread, getting me lost. I still haven't really seen this elbow people are complaining about. The replay on TSN just shows Marner getting sandwiched.

Yeah...one game. Good one.

Can people try? Honestly.

The “invisible man” has 4 playoff goals in 7 games. Marchand has 6 in 41 games.

Congrats on winning game 1. I hope the Bruins are celebrating as prematurely as their fans.

Keep digging excuses!

Bruins still unbeaten this year when the invisible man is playing. But was he?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

He fell to his knees after Kadri turned for the hit. Relax.

False.

There's a gif in this thread.

Wingels was already on his knees when Kadri turned and jumped.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Hopefully Matthews starts next game. Leafs could really use him.

What's up Toronto? I heard you won the series against Caps last year and gonna win the Cup this year as well?

Will Toronto make big adjustments to the D pairs on Saturday?

If I’m Babcock I’m putting Rielly and Gardiner on the top line and play them for 30 mins. Right now Boston is taking advantage because Hainsey is slow as molasses and so is Polak.

I’d contain the slow and suck to one bottom pairing.

Gardiner-Rielly (Rielly has more experience on right side)
Dermott-Zaitsev
Polak-Hainsey.

In an ideal world, Polak wouldn’t even be in the lineup. He’s apparently in it for his PK abilities which were on full display tonight. I’d rather have Carrick in there.

send mcdavid over, not like hes busy

Should Leafs' Nazem Kadri be suspended for hit on Tommy Wingels? - Sportsnet.ca

Kadri intended to injury. Left his feet. Targeted the head. Repeat Offender. DOPS- 3 games

Trying too hard.

Can we have McDavid? It’s not like he will make the playoffs for a decade with the Oilers. At least we’ll put him to good use.

No, never.

Trying too hard.

But TML won that series against Caps, right?

What a cringey article, looks like it was written by a leaf fan.

How is it even a question?

You'll have to ask an Oilers fan.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I don’t think Kadri has had a single hit prior to this one where he intended to injure someone. Marchand is a completely different level of dirty.

You are right, neither of these previous plays by Kadri look anything like intent to injure.

 

[VanIsle]

I love how they called the Bruins player for knocking the stick out of the TO players one hand but didn't call the knee on Nash.

 

[Rob Brown]

But according to Toronto fans - TML won that series against Caps?

What does this even mean? You're trying way too hard. Be more creative.

Funny but you and many other tor fans were celebrating before game one...

He might be golfing with McDavid.

But it was 6 games series with 5 overtimes. It means Toronto won it!

You're bad at this.
