So how come every time they play the Bruins he can't stop talking about how great Patrice Bergeron is? I realize he's a great player but it seems he talks about him a lot no matter what.

Congrats on the win. Someone should point out that Boston has 5 games in hand so don't get all cozy with that 2nd place.

I love Edwards. Yes he is a hopeless homer, but he calls the game so well and his love for the game is so infectious.

I said this before and I will say it again. Last season Toronto had 6 games in hand on Boston for 3rd in the Atlantic and we all know at the end of the season they both finished tied with 95 points. However the Bruins only finished 3rd due to having 42 ROW wins compared to the Leafs 39 ROW wins. Even though the Leafs won all 4 games against them in regulation that did not matter since head to head games is not a tie breaker. So that's why Boston was not guaranteed to finish 2nd this year based on what happened last year.

I still can't believe a review for goaltender interference went our way!! It was the right call, the Bruins defender initiated the whole contact sequence, glad we won that.
Great game, what a roll we're on. Boston should consider tanking the rest of the season so they can get the wildcard spot and play Tampa. They want no part of us, 7 and 1 since we got the big 3.

I changed my name from "nipponjin" last summer.
It's when your body burns fat and not the sugars that are stored in your muscles. So a person eats fatty shit and no carbs. I really don't understand what the expert means by eating veggies because that won't cause you to go into ketosis. Hey but I'm no expert although I did stay in a Holiday inn last night.
Keep in mind you will get fat if you eat a lot of fatty stuff the idea is the fatty stuff will satisfy you hunger and you will eat less.
Iam sorry bud but Levio is not that good.
He will not play with those 2.
Maybe maybe 4th line.
I think every fanbase in the NHL has a Tim Peel horror story - every team has one ref that fans dread to see involved in a game ( In Boston it is Chris Rooney, who grew up 3 miles from the Garden ) but in the NHL if you know a refs name, it isn't because they called a clean game.
Here are the NESN highlights from the game - On our board posters thought Jack Edwards had become a Leafs fan
Thanks Kindly.
My gawd, JVR is terrible defensively. That third Boston goal is all on him.

He drew a penalty that we scored on in limited minutes with a centre with hands of stone.
More positive impact than Komarov who Bobcat loves.
I know Bobcat will never give him a top 9 shot, but I think he will end up somewhere and have a reasonable career.

Yes it’s working but not because of the genius being displayed by our coach. It’s all conjecture but would they be where they are if Andersen was merely avg? Where would they be if Kapanen was playing higher in the lineup all season, or if Marner played with Nylander or Matthews all season, or if Dermott was brought up earlier, or if this team had a coach like Gallant, or if Babcock wasn’t so stubborn about his vets, etc. Babcock is a good coach, and he’s had some effect on the team, but he makes some idiotic decisions.
Remember last year when we had 5 games in hand. Most people here were of the opinion big deal doesn't matter we still have to win those games. One guy even had the opinion he would rather have a 1 point lead than the 5 games in hand. What a difference a year makes

Judging by previous calls throughout the year, I am surprised that they allowed that goal. Glad they did tho!

The only positive is that Babcock can lock him in a room and spool that video. There is no excuse for that garbage.

You're right, nobody has mentioned that before.
Hoping Boston burns out dealing with the rest of their schedule.

Banked points are better than possible points.
I remember one guy trying to tell me that that in a golf tournament, a player who goes into the clubhouse with the lead was at a disadvantage to the guy who was 3 shots behind with 4 holes to play.
Sure they can catch you but there’s something to be said for setting the bar. Games (or holes to play) are meaningless unless they win. And there are no guarantees.
Nice post.
I wish the forums were like this more often.
On another note, proof that we need to trade Matthews, we don’t need him.....
matthews and 1st for tanev. /s
