Series Talk: ECQF: Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs (Series Tied 3-3)

[Divine]

Goalies are weird and always a crap shoot but Swayman looks scary good this series.

Even in the regular season Swayman had a .959 save percentage against the Leafs this season. He's had their number this whole season.

The Leafs either have to figure it out or start winning 1-0 or 2-1 games.

 

[Leaf Fans]

You have zero, because the leafs are zero LOL

Lol.

Now there's some great in depth analysis.

Not really. Worthy responces though.

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

Lol.


Not really. Worthy responces though.

If the Leafs fail to come back from this 3-1 series deficit and advance to at least round 2 what would you personally as just one Leafs fan like to see them do this offseason?

 

[eojsmada]

Going to be tough for TOR to come back from this. If they lose, I would expect Shanahan to lose his job, because I can't imagine that ownership trusts him to fix what's wrong with the team, unless ownership just doesn't care because the Leafs are a cash cow.

 

[ijuka]

Alright Leafs, let's see what you do with your backs against the wall. Look at Tampa and the Isles for some inspiration

Win one just to lose at home?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I fully expect the leafs to win the next two they do their best work with no pressure on them

Whatever it takes to make the team better.

If I hear one word next season about how Matthews in on the same level as McDavid, MacKinnon, Kucherov or Draisaitl, I'm just going to post this.

The best players in the game elevate their games come playoff time.

And then there's Matthews.



(Brad Marchand added for comparison).

Lol.

 

[Canadienna]

Reilly in the postgame when asked about people getting frustrated on the bench and in the locker room.

"There's no point in being too frustrated, unless it's going to lead to work ethic... If you're gonna get frustrated - it has to lead to motivation and work ethic."

That's a shot.

Oof...

Matthews will surely have to step up now.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Oof...

Matthews will surely have to step up now.

The whole team will. They are down 3 games to 1.

I am only cheering for Toronto because I hate Bruins more. But must be hard for Leafs fans. This makes 8 years in a row. Went 12 years before that never made playoffs. Haven't won a Cup in 57 years. Never been to Finals in that time. Only made conference finals twice since '67.

I'd like to see Leafs get on a roll and make Finals. Their fans have to be definition of pain.

8 years in a row for what?

Collapsing early

 

[John Mandalorian]

Someone besides Dangle...

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Do you really want me to? Because it’s not even a debate he is top five IMO. He is one the best shutdown d man In the entire league…. Not flashy on ofence but points aren’t everything.

That’s certainly a take just not a good one.

 

[Barnum]

You really gonna call out the toughness of a retired nhl player that runs the Boston marathon for fun?

Back to back marathons. He ran the London Marathon 6 days later. Coke Cola fueled.

 

[Ducer]

Kind of pissed that the leafs started with a jump to the the third period maybe if they played like that in the first and tried for the first goal we would of had a series.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Collapsing early

They have made the playoffs 8 straight years.

 

[FMichael]

Matthews post game 4 interview…

 

[PeteWorrell]

They have made the playoffs 8 straight years.

Congratulations.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Congratulations.

Thanks, but it isn't near good enough for most Leaf fans.

 

[Duder54]

Food poisoning is terrible.

I remember the NBA Finals game in 1997 when Michael Jordan played with food poisoning from some bad pizza. Pain-killers, fluid injections, and had to be practically carried off the floor after the game. Still managed to drop 38 points including a clutch 3-pointer that put the Bulls into the lead with seconds to go in the game. Stuff of legend.

Oh - they're a definition of pain all right. A pain in the a**.
