Series Talk: ECQF: Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs (BOS Leads 3-2)

[AuraSphere]

And if they don’t, it’s once again another horrible and embarrassing performance by the Leafs… so what’s your point?

I’ve never seen a fanbase get so cocky after winning an OT game that could have gone either way and are still down 3-2 in the series

Every game other than game 1 has been a 1 goal series to be fair (if you exclude empty nets which you rightfully should).

It's been a tight series - this entire series could have gone 50/50 from the start.

I think we can win game 6 since we’re due for a home win but no idea who wins game 7. This leafs core just when you think they finally got it together usually lay an egg in the end. They just can’t be trusted to pull something like this off until they actually do it.

2 more lets gooo boys

Habs fan here but hoping for Leafs win tonight. Boston collapsed last year with 3-1 series lead. It's possible. Florida also turned it around last season after meltdown on bench late in year. Made Finals

Do you bring the same energy for the jets? They got a cover like that the following year.

Leafs generate clicks. I don't know how it takes you guys so long to learn this lesson. You posting this year's later literally proves their point about why they made that cover.

Did you read the post I was replying to? Someone asked for an example of unrealistic Leafs hype in the media

Yeah and did you read the rest of my post? The media will constantly use the leafs to generate more clicks. You linking a cover of a magazine from 7 years ago literally proves this point. 7 years and you still remember this cover. It did exactly what they wanted it to do. Do you remember any other hockey news cover? They literally make a cover like that every year, but you don't know of them because they haven't been about the leafs since.

Nah I remember the Jets cover.. definitely has also been the subject of ridicule over the years.. I’m guessing it wasn’t brought up in this thread though because the jets aren’t playing in this series?

 

[Strangle]

You're funny...

Thanks for being here

 

[93gilmour93]

Another fun fact- 3 out of 4 of those chances were played at TD Garden. The Bruins fare better on the road than home. Thanks for proving my point.

I proved your point showing Boston loses on the road or at home in elimination games the last 2 season? Your welcome

I do not care for the leafs and I hope they lose.

I mean, it's pretty much assumed that anyone who isn't a fan of the Leafs wants them to lose.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Surprised he's not dehydrated though, he cries an awful lot.

Quite the bit of irony.

The Leafs are not the Yankees. The media and fans drive that story desperately. Leading to some additional hatred but truly, most fans hardly pause about the Leafs.

4k comments in this thread when the next highest series thread is at only 1k says otherwise. Is the media making bots to comment in here or something?

Any leaf thread on this site generates way more traffic than any other team.

I guarantee you have talked more about the Leafs throughout this season than any other team (excluding the bruins ofc).

Search results limited to during this season (regular season), with just the word "leafs". A lot of talkin about the leafs when your team has nothing to do with em

ROFL the metric ton of irony here, considering how much you live in Leafs threads running your mouth. Is self awareness such a lost thing?

Matthews will score 4 goals tonight.

Toronto 6, Boston 1.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Boston wins easily tonight and the Leafs rebuild begins.

 

[North Cole]

Don't most people? I have nothing against the team, I just like when they lose so you can see all the people wrapping themselves up in "our path to the cup is so hard" excises.

 

[Summer Rose]

I have to admit I'm developing a bit of a soft spot for the Leafs even though I've kind of always rooted against them on principle. Maybe it's because as I've gotten older and watched hockey for quite some time now, I've become less vitriolic in my fandom.

That is a patently false statement. Wow.

Matthews has a tummy ache. Unavailable sorry

He might pot 4 in the toilet tonight but I doubt he's putting 4 past Swayman...if he's even playing

I'm sorry, I don't think I can thumbs up your posts anymore. Revoked

If it's anything to you, my virulence towards the Boston Bruins has also diminished significantly in recent years as well, and I've developed a not paltry amount of respect towards Brad Marchand.

No doubt. Any Bostonian who doesn't watch hockey's idea of maple leafs is in Vermont's syrup country. Ask them who the Yankees are and everyone knows, baseball fan or not.

The Habs are the Bruins real rival... despite being brutally bad over the past few years. They've actually won cups since The Beatles broke up.
