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

Looks like it's a good day to stock up the beer fridge and liquor cabinet

The whining is something else. We had all summer for that, and all season.

At the end of the day, they finished above us in the standings, they have home ice, we play the underdog role. A place I think the Leafs will thrive.

Strap on a hard hat it's playoff time. Leafs in 6.

GLG.

 

[ToneDog]

Anyone thinking Boston is going to dominate us is in for a pleasant surprise... IMO atleast.

I'm expecting mostly one goal games; many going into OT. Many will not have any fingernails left after this series.

 

[authentic]

Oh guaranteed McCauley gets at least 2 of our games. What are we with him in the playoffs? 0-10 or something?

Edit: 0-8 in the Matthews era. McCauley was also the ref in the game when Liljegren was slew foot by Marchand in November.

Well time for Toronto to flip the script on this one. McCauley can't score goals for Boston so no excuses this time.

This team is going to explode offensively after force feeding Matthews the last few games. I'm still worried about the defense and goaltending but I believe we will score a fair bit..

Neither team will dominate the other. It will be a series of OT games, which will favour the Leafs.

Could be. I got Leafs in 6. Pray it doesn't go 7, especially because it's against Boston lol

How is that possible? Is there some conflict of interest with him?

The NHL is basically a joke league anyways and the reffing come playoffs is a big reason why. Bowling probably receives higher ratings in many U.S cities.

f*** off. Really need him for playoffs

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Trolling... for now. No doubt he gets at least one of our games though.

If he does get a game I’d rather it be early on in the series

I really hope this guy doesn’t get an elimination game or you can just pack the season up.

McCabe/Benoit are going to be in the box a lot.

I’m more concerned about Liljegren, Gio, or Brodie taking penalties than those two. Lack of speed has forced them to take penalties in the past.

 

[SprDaVE]

I really hope Nylander isn't injured... I feel like it's just a maintenance day though.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hey no Gio and Brodie, that's good. Like that D set up.

Looks like Nylander would go with Jarnkrok and Holmberg if healthy, Robertson out.

Looks ok.

 

[The Masters]

no brodie
schkeefe grew a pair

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hopefully McMann get draw in for game 2 at the latest. I think his style of game is effective for the playoffs

 

[The Masters]

I forgot Domi absolutely killed it in the playoffs last year for Dallas.
Cheers to him and Bertuzzi doing it again this year

 

[crump]

Nylander injured? maintenance?
Jarnkrok must be close.
McMann must be a while away.
Brodie not trending in the lineup.

 

[kevsh]

We'll need the Hockey Gods and their puck luck to beat Boston.

No disagreement there.

 

[Revolt]

No Brodie is great. I like these D pairings.

Hopefully, nothing wrong with Nylander.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

So assuming Nylander will be in Jarnkrok’s spot we’re going with the same PP1 setup that has let us down in the past come playoff time. Cool.

Who is surprised though, he looked like a Hart trophy contender when he was playing to get paid in the first 40 games. Nylander checked out after signing his contract.

f*** this pp unit. Need to put Lily and Bert back on pp1

And yet he'll play well in playoffs like he always does
