Pre-Game Talk: Leafs in Boston. Win or Go Home. (technically. win, and you get to go home anyway)

[Stats01]

starts with tonight! Bring it back home and then go from there.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Anyone mind doing the GDT? Ideally, I'd want someone who has a winning record to do it, but looks like only Daisy Joy has a winning GDT in playoffs and is offline.

Anyone else wants to do it?

Im not from toronto. If i was to show up to maple leaf square to watch the game outside. Would showing up at 6 be alright time to have somewhere to stand?

I think that is too late

trying being there between 4:30-5pm to get a good spot.

 

[Kurisu]

really need to work on point shots. We haven't cleanly gotten through 5 on 5.

Henny tweeted that Franson and Gards will get added minutes due to Fraser's injury.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Yeah the pairings are:

Gunnarsson - Phaneuf
Gardiner - Franson
Liles - O'Byrne.

If we had Fraser (get well soon) in O'Byrne's spot I'd like that a lot more, but that looks solid.

 

[frankthetank91]

Yep..

Gunnar-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Franson
Liles-O'Byrne

are pretty good pairings. With Liles and O'Byrne getting the least minutes.

 

[CanadianLov3]

Good to see Liles with ROB.

 

[Hero]

If we lose tonight, we know what happens.

If we win tonight, series is 3-2, as close as it possibly can be after 5 games, and we're going into home ice, with a bit of momentum, and boom, we have a series again.

 

[ULF_55]

If there is a game there is hope.

This is the worst case scenario for the Bruins so they will give it everything they've got to not have to come back to TO.

It's going to be a huge battle tonight I can't wait.

Gunnarsson - Phaneuf
Gardiner - Franson
Liles - O'Byrne.

Agreed.

Excited to see that Gardiner - Franson pairing. They looked good in their limited time together last game.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Yep..

Gunnar-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Franson
Liles-O'Byrne

are pretty good pairings. With Liles and O'Byrne getting the least minutes.

O'bryne has been terrible. Would actually prefer calling up Holzer

We got a decent spot with a nice view for game 3. Showed up at about 6:15. Wouldn't hurt to go earlier though.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Liles

If there is a game there is hope.

Be-leaf!

 

[zeke]

man it sucks to be down 3-1. I feel hard done by. Leafs don't deserve to be on the brink of elimination.

hurts because I don't think the leafs are down based on the run of play, but mainly because they've just made too many unforced errors.

I don't expect the Leafs to roll over and die like the Habs and Wild did last night, that's for sure.

in a perfect world, the Bs relax a bit tonight and the leafs take advantage of it in a big way.

I can't see them relaxing, but I can see a young leaf team playing their hearts out.

Hopefully, this doesn't end up like the elimination games against the Devils back in 2000 and 2001. Those games would be over in the 2nd, and you'd be left wondering why those veteran laden leaf teams didn't show up and play desperate.

 

[Clark4Ever]

The only way we get embarrassed tonight is if Reimer is off his game again. If he steps up, we can win.

 

[abridgel]

We gonna burn some g*d da## boats tonight!!!!

 

[Suntouchable13]

The whole game, as long as it is close, will feel like OT did the other night for me. Gonna be on the edge of my couch all night!

 

[DD03]

Let's ****ING GO!
