Pre-Game Talk: Game 1: Maple Leafs @ Bruins, May 1, 7:00 ET CBC, CNBC, NESN (Pt 2)

[SwissLeaf]

Grabovski will be a big deal in this series... I don't know why, I just feel it somehow!

 

[Alerion]

Grabovski will be a big deal in this series... I don't know why, I just feel it somehow!

He's going to have to be if Bozak misses any time.

 

[ConnorTO]

Grabo can come back! with bozak injured

 

[habsfanatics*]

Habs fan coming in peace. I am officially on the leafs bandwagon for this round. I feel the Habs actually match up better with the B's if we were to survive the 1st round, however, I can not for the life of me cheer for that team in any situation.

I think the Bruin's are ripe for the pickings ATM. Their inability to score is a real problem. With some timely scoring and solid goaltending the leafs have a real shot.

Go Leafs go!!!! Good luck, I
Hope kessel/kadri light the b's up like a Christmas tree. For all the flack Burke took for trading for kessel I think he got the undisputed best player in that trade. I'm not convinced Seguin will ever be the player kessel is.

Kick some butt and hopefully we'll have an epic 2nd rd matchup

Poke The Bear

A friend (Bruins fan) sent me this the other day. When you see that many plays in a row like that, the level of dirty starts to sink in.

 

[jazzibabe67]

all i can say is REIMER...WITH OR WITHOUT...WIN IT ALL!!!!



DEFENSE/OFFENSE...GIVE'R BULLETS!!!

REIMER...DO IT!!!

 

[Daisy Jane]

I LOVE that video clip.

I thought we were doing a lottery ticket system, you mean no one wanted to do it when we were up against Boston? Heck, I'll do them all but I don't have photoshop and everything and y'all love the big huge picture stuff. I'm all about texts and quotes and writing amusing diddies.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Oh my God, this video is awesome.



Edit: Just saw it was posted in a thread of its own. Really got me pumped some more.

If you were asleep for the season, this video really tells the story of the season. The only player I would add to it that was missed was Mcclement, otherwise spot on.

Bozak, Kessel, Kadri, Lupul, JVR, Fraser, Franson, Frattin, Orr, Mclaren and Reimer all deserve big props.

 

[iArts]

I expect Grabo, JVR and Komarov to be our leaders in this series.

Komarov will be super important in the playoffs.

 

[beleaf67]

cannot even say I'll be happy with a loser point

As long as our boys show up and put a good fight I'll be happy....

One of my kids is Bruins fan (thanks to Leafs 9 years playoffs absence), it should be fun to watch games together...

 

[The Kessel Run]

That video was great. Loving the Explosions in the Sky during the last 5 mins.

Thanks, I definitely hope our teams can advance and play each other. Both our teams have their work cut out for them though.

 

[Mojo19]

I can't help but pick mostly Leafs players for one of my playoff pools.

GO LEAFS!!!

 

[Loosie]

Yes...that's not how the team is playing this year.

 

[SprDaVE]

I always laugh at McLennan when he does his goaltending analysis. It's the worst.

I'm not saying this because of what he said last night. I've been saying this for a while.

But as most of you pointed out, the Reimer VS Rask segment was pathetically bad.

McLennan is the last person who should be analyzing other goaltenders.

 

[Pi]

Poke the bear, put the bear in the boat and burn it...I don't care. Just find a way to win.

We need at least 1/2 in the first two games. If we can get home with 1-1 or better, we'll be in a good position.

 

[Stats01]

Man the that video was amazing! The last 3-4 minutes with the music really got me emotional, amazing ending. So pumped for tomorrow!!

 

[Warden of the North]

Oh my God, this video is awesome.

Wow.

For all the whining of late about our team, we had an exciting regular season.

Im looking forward to the Cup winning video next

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Lol Bruins fan here but I have to say I really got a kick out of that daily show video haha, pretty hilarious. I do have to say though I think Jon Stewart must be a Vancouver fan or something though, seemed a little(alot) butthurt...

 

[TheBigThree]

I'm trying to be realistic with my expectations so that when disappointed it won't be as major as with optimism.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

If JVR shows glimpses of his dominant Philly POs, he's the key in this series

 

[EDDIE20*]

I was talking to some co-workers yesterday and as expected, they are counting for Boston in 4 straight, all the while Ottawa easily taking the Habs series. Go figure.

 

[Leaftors]

i think both series can go long, i dont think there will be a sweep in either series.

 

[Hurt]

Well when a team has beat you 9 out of the last 10 times, saying Boston wins in 4 straight isn't out of the question. Let's hope the boys have a little more self respect than that.
