I am. Today is the best I've felt since I went down mentally a week or so ago. Thanks.

I became a fan of the Bruins during the Penguins series, but I remember watching this game and laughing because "the same guy" tied it up and then won it in OT.
Of course "that guy" went on to become my favorite player.

I feel like Leafs don't even deserve our hate, they need to earn that privilege.

I can't really hate the Leafs.
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Leafs because my father-in-law, brother-in-law and some good friends are big Leafs fans, so I've got to be careful.
....plus I have to save most of my hate for the habs and Pissburgh.
Both teams hurting. Obviously Marchand is the biggest loss of the group but Toronto is missing Rielly (who has been a top 20 D this year) and Hainsey (aka the top pairing).

Same here. Although the younger generation are disrespectful pitas the older guys I get along great with. I liken them to pre 2004 Red Sox fans so I feel for them.
Besides if the Bruins cant win it all Id have no problem with the Leafs winning one.
It would be worth it just to see the reaction in Montreal.

“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
Martin has been benched the last 3 games and is probably going be traded. AHL guys have passed his sorry butt, that kind of player is almost useless now.Hate the MapleLaughs and hope McQuaid knocks Martin again.Thats all I got.

Is it considered trolling if I ask everyone to go vote 'absolutely not' on the make beliefs board.
I have no hate for the Leafs or their fans.
In all the years being a STH and meeting fans of the other teams at the Garden the Leaf fans have been the best.
My daughter and I went to a game in Toronto in Dec of 2014. This was just a few months after the miracle comeback in game 7. The fans there teased us but knew their hockey and were very friendly. Nice city.
I don't blame them for being excited that the Leafs are playing better.
THAT being said I hope the B's have a big win tonight !

I think most of my hate for the Leafs comes from anything to do with the main board. Oh and JVR.
That being said they are far from my most hated team, but I'm glad there is a nice rivalry brewing between these teams. Took almost 100 years...

I will always remember the 2011 playoffs. The Leaf fans were supporting the B's against the Nucks.
For anyone looking to go to an away game Toronto is expensive but it is a beautiful city and there is the Hockey Hall of Fame (a MUST see).

Ok I made the mistake of reading their board
Beat up and Bruise Bergeron
Chip at Rask.
Bruins are easy to beat.
I wish Brad and Kevan were playing. Beat up Bergy??? I am bringing my baseball bat.

Toronto is expensive but the US Dollar being stronger takes some of the sting out. 1 US Dollar equals 1.24 Canadian Dollar
Toronto really is ground zero when it comes to hockey and the Leafs have been awful the past half century.
This happens ALL the time during lunch hour there
and 20 years ago there was a famous commercial in Canada
That is a fanbase that has truly suffered.
Toronto winning the Cup I could live with because if that happens, the Island of Montreal raises anchor and sails up the St Lawrence River and out to sea never to be heard from again.

INJURIES/SUSPENSION (Total injury man-games lost in 2017-18: 167)
Charlie McAvoy underwent a successful procedure on 1/22 at the MGH to treat an abnormal heart rhythm. Following the Bruins game on 11/26, he told team physicians that he experienced heart palpitations during the game. Subsequently he underwent an evaluation, which diagnosed him with a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The type of SVT he has is not considered to be dangerous to his health but can recur at any time and causes significant symptoms. After consultation with team physicians, as well as experts in this type of heart condition, he decided to have the condition treated with a procedure called an ablation. The decision to have the procedure done at this time is due to a high probability of recurrence. During the period from the initial occurrence through 1/20, he was cleared to play by the medical team and was monitored closely. Has missed 4 games.
Noel Acciari – Lower body, has missed 3 games
Anders Bjork – Upper body, has missed 1 game
Brad Marchand – Will serve game 4 tonight of a 5-game NHL-imposed suspension for an incident 1/23 vs NJ

I don`t hate the Leafs (outside of Kadri), but living where I do, watching Sportsnet/TSN it`s pretty clear their focus is over the top on the Leafs and it gets tiresome. This Leafs team is one of two teams that worry me the most in the East (Caps being the other). I recently have not seen the B`s have anywhere close to the foot speed up and down the lineup to be able to skate with them and this might not be a popular opinion here but the Leafs have, much like the B`s, some really nice, young talent. What they did in the playoffs last year was incredible considering all the kiddies skating around for them and if that lineup was wearing a spoked B, this fan base would be super excited too. Big test tonight and for as well as the B`s have played for quite some time now, this Leafs team worries me
