TBD - To Be Determined

 

[sarge88]

My prediction....

One game is an easy win for the B’s.
One game is an easy win for the Leafs.
One game is handed to the Leafs by the refs.

Hope the B’s can win 3 of the other 4.

I come in peace...the Leafs haven’t been handed one game all season by the refs quite the contrary actually, been screwed over a bunch.

Not the games I have watched

Only two teams in the league had less power plays than the Leafs.

Cant believe it took someone 33 minutes to not say.

Tuukka Rask goalie interference in Toronto. Single handedly gave them 2 points that night.

Leafs are 28th in the league for penalties against them.

So what's with game 4 of TBL/NJD and ANA/SJS?


I mean...I get why they're not on NBCSN - PIT/PHI naturally grabs the main network every day, because of the 8 series, it's the biggest rivalry that doesn't involve a Canadian team. But are you honestly telling me they couldn't move two reruns of Shark Tank and Staten Island Hustle from CNBC? Fine, Staten Island Hustle is apparently some new CNBC show. I'm sure it's great. So, let's see what irreplaceable programming is on USA. Okay, Suits, new episode - I guess people seem to like that show, since it's lasted 7 seasons...I've vaguely heard of it, but I honestly haven't seen an episode. Don't even know what it's about. Is it about that gravelly voiced guy who used to be in The Mens Wearhouse commercials?

How about "USA on CNBC" - move Suits there for 1 episode in place of Shark Tank for a week, put hockey on USA. Or "CNBC on USA", and move Staten Island Hustle. Please don't make me find one more damn channel on my guide.

And if you're gonna have games on the Golf channel, make it game 7. Loser gets to return to the Golf channel the next day.

 

[Rumpy]

You mean the 3-3 game with two minutes to go...How is that single handily? The refs called it a goal and then stuck to it. Happened to everyone this season

Well as you stated the game was 3-3.

They didn’t even score on the empty net. It was blatant goalie interference and so yes the refs single handedly gave you 2 points that night.

24th actually

 

[Marcobruin]

Leafs haven't won a cup in over 50 years.How can anyone possibly hate them? Theres no grounds to hate..i can understand them disliking us though.
Theyve been the absolute worse nhl team for half a century..Harold Ballard was a joke and the leaf fans werent laughing.
But as you know as all good things must come to an end i think the same can be said - all bad things must come to an end and it has for Tor.there is a good shining light at the end of the tunnel...Heres hoping we extinguish that light and keep leaving the leafs in the "Hope" category rather than achievers

GO AWAY LEAFS FANS

 

[xgallantx]

I love how dude comes "in peace" and then starts contradicting all our opinions on our own board. Seriously, go away!!!

You gotta understand what not winning for this long does to people. From baseball to basketball to hockey it's pure Toronto misery. And in turn you can't really blame them for being like this as a result.

Can you imagine how bad it’s going to be if the Raptors choke again?

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

If? lol I think you mean "when"

 

[sarge88]

I come in peace...the Leafs haven’t been handed one game all season by the refs quite the contrary actually, been screwed over a bunch.

And the B's have been abjectly hosed several times, which I am sure will continue.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Like I have said I am surrounded bye Leaf fans and personally know a lot of them they are all obnoxious and arrogant.

 

[The Murph]

Surrounded by leaf fans too. A lot of them believe this is their year and they are the favorites against the Bruins because of the last two years in the regular season. They think the leafs are the fastest team and the Bruins are way too slow and that's the main reason they'll win. And their hardcore about it.

Bruins beat them, a lot of them are going to have mental breakdowns. They really believe they can beat the Bruins and even more want it to happen.

Series is going to be nuts.

Loving that schedule though, good time in between games. Much better than what they've had to deal with last 6 weeks.

 

[jgatie]

My h'allergy to those f***ing fans, you know, has returned.

Here’s what the Bruins are up against in the first round of the playoffs against the Maple Leafs - The Boston Globe

Ready for an Original Six matchup?

By virtue of their 4-2 loss to the Panthers Sunday night at the Garden, the Bruins now will face the Maple Leafs in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, with Game 1 at the Garden on Thursday night.

The Leafs, without a Cup championship since 1967, are loaded with some of the most exciting young skaters in the game, including star center Auston Matthews, and fellow forwards Mitch Marner (leading scorer: 69 points) and William Nylander.

Speed and timely scoring touch (Exhibit A: ex-UNH standout James van Riemsdyk, 36 goals) lead the way for the Leafs, who finished the season with 105 points — equal to the Washington Capitals, winners of the Metropolitian Division.
