Series Talk: Leafs vs Bruins - 'ah shit here we go again' edition -- Full schedule post #933

[RomanianLeafs]

I wanted boston, best outcome..they dont have bergeron and krejci to go on seven game series with us..4 2 leafs

 

[Racer88]

Well at least the core 4 will be here for one more year.

Ya isn’t that freakin sad

 

[Suntouchable13]

Leafs will win the series.

It's hard to see it being the mental midgets that they are. They certainly have the talent, but the mental side is not there. They played them scared in the meetings during the regular season.

 

[yubbers]

If we do lose this series,

I cant see us ever beating the bruins in the matthews era

As usual... Goaltending is a question mark.

 

[Gilmour1996]

As far as us playing Boston or Florida, it's only fair that old debts are paid before the newer ones. Assuming we win, that us. If we lose, we owe a debt to the big-nosed little snake to insure he's paid back to the extent he isn't healthy enough to play beyond the first round.

It’s a shame we’re facing them under the exact same circumstances again when they’ve got home ice.

 

[TheShape]

Leafs can do the bullying this time around as we are the much heavier team, which is refreshing.

Boston have two elite goalies and tight checking team D, not many freebies out there. Leafs can win, core will have to get out of their own heads though. No more, no less.

 

[BlackAdam]

Leafs can't fall for the toughness trap and make frequent trips to the penalty box. They have a pk% of 76%.
I remember 2019. Bad PK killed that team. If I remember correctly, they were below 50% against boston.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Are the odds up yet? Tempted to throw in a 20 on the good guys

 

[BertCorbeau]

 

[TMLegend]

Leafs find a way and win game 7 this time.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

They also chanted "we want Boston"... but whatever.

Blame Sportsnet. They only told one side of the story and the hockey world ran with it. Then Sportsnet has the gall to antagonize us with it when we’re like 75% of the reason they’re able to keep the lights on.

 

[PromisedLand]

I look forward to an evenly reffed series

yes we outplayed them at 5v5 but our special teams sucked as usual

 

[hamzarocks]

As usual... Goaltending is a question mark.

We cant allocate money to a legit top 10 goalie

The big 5 guys will make 62% of an 87.5M cap next year.

EIther the big 5 deliver deep results this year or we got to move 2 of them out and reallocate our money.

3rd option being worst case scenerio where we lose this series and run it back for a 9th time with 4/5M spent on shoddy/unproven goaltending

 

[thewave]

Rather Boston than FL. Hope the refs do it fair.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Regardless of the result, Bruins-Leafs series are always pure entertainment.

 

[sxvnert]

Bruins in 5.

 

[Petrus]

It’s a shame we’re facing them under the exact same circumstances again when they’ve got home ice.

Leafs are an excellent road team. I think they will do better starting on the road.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Prediction contest thread on which Leaf gets suspended by game 2?

It's 100% going to be Edmundson, Domi or McCabe. Gun to my head, I'm going McCabe (even though I think it's Domi).

Knies will take some penalties. McMann, if back in the lineup will take a crucial tripping penalty diving around trying to clear the zone.

Rielly will be fine. Matthews will be fine. One of Marner or Nylander will be very poor. Tavares will be non existent. Our goaltending will cost us 2 games. Sheldon will cost us 1 game but that will be included in the goalies shifting the bed.

Leafs in 6 or 7. Probably 7.

 

[yubbers]

Maybe I need to burn my Neely jersey.

That's gotta be it.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Put me down for Domi

 

[Jojalu]

we aren't winning this series.

That's the spirit!

I hope you’re right. That barn has not been kind to us.
