Pre-Game Talk: Bruins @ Leafs - Game 3 - 7pm - Series tied 1 - 1

[ACC1224]

I cannot remember ever hearing anyone complain about something like this... lol

He's coaching for his life. Looks like he's a little worried.

Cry more baldy.

Easy four eyes, with the lack of hair jokes

Pretty simple: Leafs need to win both at home at go back to Boston for game 5 with a chance to finish it.

We've all seen this group play great hockey when they really want to/need to, it's the rest of the time that's the concern. So I just hope they find a way to keep up the intensity so that us long-suffering Leafs fans can at the very least enjoy the pure joy of sending the Bruins home early.

I know it's about the ratings, and I agree. There is a special charm to Saturday nights too. But we know the ratings and following would be there regardless of when the Leafs play.

I'd have the same gripe too if the series was lined up for a Sunday game and they threw it on at 12:30 pm to appease the U.S. TV market.

Its more for US market. Grab more casuals. This was right call.

Lets just be thankful they didn't schedule the game in the afternoon.

Booooo hoooo

Do think Samsonov was watching the two Florida teams play and watched those great saves by both Russian goalies and got inspired for tonight’s game?

Keep in mind that this guy is feeling the pressure of losing his job after this series. I think we will see him get more desperate after the next two games.

This team has been through so many game 7s... it's hard not to see any other outcome.

JM post game

 

[NinjaKick]

So many different nylander reports. IS HE IN OR NOT.

thats what she said

wait a minute.... ah f*** my life i did it again

That's what she said.

damn you

 

[sxvnert]

Luckily no one is left from that 2013 disaster.

Putting JVR in though wreaks of desperation. I'm sure he'll score.

Real game time decision I guess. Have to figure if he is out for warmup he is a go.

Sorry for your problems

afternoon games are the worst. i just assume the leafs automatically lose them

Careful.... someone might call the "terrorist hotline" if you make any jokes. Maybe it's your userpic!? Scary!

 

[LeafSteel]

I can confirm without denying that Nylander may or may not play today.

You ARE welcome!

Go Leafs Go!

So fly home after tonight's game and come back Friday night. Owner too cheap?

 

[Sypher04]

In his defence if it was the other way around a lot of us would be bitching about it too lol

I’m not sure we would. Really has nothing to do with anyone other than the players and staff. Doesn’t provide any kind of competitive advantage so very doubtful any us would care.

It’s a pretty dumb thing to whine about either way. Home team garauntees you games 1, 2 and 5 and 7 if needed in your building, nothing more

Spent all his money on refs.

He will probably score on PP since our PK is junk. That being said any time he gets at 5v5 we need to take advantage of and abuse the f*** out of him because he sucks defensively.

What's the deal with McMann

Go Leafs Go!

So... you're saying I should gamble my life savings on Nylander getting the first goal tonight at exactly 23:12 minutes into the first period?

Done!

They want some more offense through their lineup, and he's been fairly productive in a limited role there throughout the season, especially on the powerplay. I would expect a more tightly called game tonight than in game 2 - more powerplays.

They have to stay out of the box.
