Series Talk: Eastern Conference Quarterfinal: BRUINS (A2) vs Toronto Maple Leafs (A3)

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Game 1 will be Saturday at 7:00pm
Game 2 will be Monday at 7:00pm
3 & 4 I would guess the following Thursday Saturday.

Probably 8:00 Saturday

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Playoffs begin Saturday. Other than that, no one knows who will play on what days

Don’t the Celtics play on Sunday ? So Bruins will start on Saturday.

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

Can anyone make a guess at what the schedule will be ? I want to use some vacation time to watch the games .

You should save your vacation time for the Stanley Cup Finals.

I love your optimism !

Bruins better figure out how to start a game, they have come out flat way too often.

At the same time what a series and the East is tough so you gotta go through everyone to win so bring on the Leafs.. . . .

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Stay off the main boards Yikes. Leaf fans out in full force telling the world how much better they are, how gonna smoke us. I don't get where they get their cockiness and confidence. Certainly not from any kind of success. It's mind boggling how obnoxious they are

Oh yeah that’s for sure ,and I have cousins and an in-law that’s fits into that category,did not want this series.

 

[22Brad Park]

Sure wish Braaseau was available.He felt like one of their better players hands wise

 

[wintersej]

Not trying to undersell the Leafs, but I think they are the best matchup for Boston, even if it's a 55% chance of winning kind of series. Better than the other way around like I feel like it is against both Florida and Tampa.

Yeah and shoot the F’N puck

 

[Olden McGroin]

This is different, these teams haven't met in the playoffs before.

Florida don't scare me as much as Tampa.Bruins took them to game 7 of OT .That Tampa powerplay is lethal and as I said earlier ,you need 30 + shots a night vs Vasi in a 4 out of 7.Bruins are type team outside Pasta as well that has players that need multiple looks to bury one.

No team has gone up 1-0 more than the Bruins this year (at least coming into tonight).

Your lucky ,my gf told me tonite to shut it off if I am going to talk to myself everytime ref makes a call

Marty Biron believes Bruins will pose big problems for Leafs

 

[Cronuss]

Hate to say it, but we will remember these last two subpar losses as the reason the Bruins exit in the first round. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Oh Goody.

 

[22Brad Park]

Hate to say it, but we will remember these last two subpar losses as the reason the Bruins exit in the first round. Hope I'm wrong.

Bruins won all 4 meeting with Leafs and have better goaltending and better backend.Boston is winning this series for my money.

I don’t think so . If they play so badly that they lose to Toronto odds are they would also lose to Tampa .

Just to play devils advocate but has the playoff goaltending we’ve seen from Ullmark and Swayman the last two years been significantly better than how Samsonov played in the playoffs last year?

 

[VanIsle]

No team has gone up 1-0 more than the Bruins this year (at least coming into tonight).

3 shots today in the first, 4 yesterday.

I saw that they have started great but the last 2 games were "lackluster".

 

[22Brad Park]

I don’t think so . If they play so badly that they lose to Toronto odds are they would also lose to Tampa .

That's fair for sure .I was thinking about Ullmark with Sabres beating Leafs all the time ( not playoffs )to soothe my nerves Samsonov don't scare me. Woll be in this series book it

Regular season means nothing personally I would probably be more confident if they had lost 4

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Well this is the match up I was hoping for as I think the Leafs are still the Leafs and they can and will be beat. We do well against them and they simply do not scare me in any way. Their D is weak. Their goaltending isn't great and they still have a number of soft forwards.

Also, we get the Florida war and so the hope there is they bang each other up so bad the winner limps into round 2 and we can beat them as well. It's all about the match ups, luck, and injuries now.

Obviously skill players like Marchand and DeBrusk will have to start scoring again but they can.

Boston-Vancouver Stanley Cup Final V2 here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aussie Bruin]

So how we feeling about this? Excited, ready to go, quietly confident? 'Cause ol' Steve, fair to say, he's not coping quite so well

 

[22Brad Park]

Regular season means nothing personally I would probably be more confident if they had lost 4

It's means they can beat them though.You guys are afraid of Toronto I think .Embrace it my man
