et tu, linesman?

 

[Leaf Fans]

This is a team of destiny and I still have plenty of tickets to scalp for the 2024 Cup Parade in Toronto

No, you don't. There is no parade planned. Perhaps if the team makes it to the finals, the city would plan the parade.

 

[Jee]

Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to watch the pathetic Habs again until the fall

sorry i hurt your feelings

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

loving the drama, this series is getting good.

 

[Barnum]

Already planned bro.

 

[T REX]

Great win by the leafs.

Crazy. Playoff hockey is better than almost any other sport.

 

[HungryFrank]

my Leafs in 7 prediction looks good now

 

[McGarnagle]

I posted this in the Bruins thread, but bears repeating

Both fanbases have to be thinking the same thing: "I'm not falling for this again"

Bruins remembering the feckless effort in game 5 last year punctuated by Marchand nearly missing a series winner and losing in OT

Leafs fans remembering the last two times they took the Bruins to a seventh game after trailing 3-1 only to lose that one

I'm sure nobody is feeling confident except the Panthers right now

 

[Coach Parker]

I don’t think a single betting app will let anyone bet on the Bruins to win game six. Leafs and Bruins fans all know this is going to game 7. It has been since Boston lost to Ottawa.

 

[Seras]

Lets go boys, 2 more!

 

[Drytoast]

what is it...like zero Cups outside of the 06 era. Something to be cocky about for sure.

Bruh. Your hockey club has over 100 years of history and only 6 gd cups.

Let that sink in.

While I get that's it's funny that the Leafs havn't won a cup since the league had only 6 teams. In that same 6 team league for 60 YEARS, Boston could only win it 3 times.

3.

That's how dog shit Boston's history is.

Right now you have 6 cup wins in 100 years of playing in the NHL. If we gave you another 100 years to win another 6, you STILL won't have the same amount of cups as the Leafs.

These two clubs are not even comparable in accomplishments. Never forget that.

That said, this year? Boston wins it in 6 as I predicted.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Already planned bro.

Yeah, that one was planed and has already taken place.

Kid’s pretty good

Yet hardly tested. The sole PP the Bruins had, little possession. Not many noteworthy scoring chances generated.

Mitch Marner played well, I wish he would shoot more though.

Let's see if 2 more days gives Matthews enough time to recover from the week long tummy ache.

 

[thaman8765678]

Also advanced stats wise, Marner was the 3rd best player for the Leafs in game 3. And the top player in games 4 and 5.

Yet Leafs fans are blaming him for their failure. When he has been by far the best player of their core this playoffs at creating chances and driving play.

States wise? Do stats tell you that he's a perimeter player who is afraid to go into the corners and can't win a one-on-one battle along the boards?

Dude is a defensive liability and offensively neutered in the playoffs.
