Go Leafs Go

 

[A1LeafNation]

Boston will be diving all over the place tonight.

 

[northeastern]

Hoping the bruins remember there is an actual playoff game tonight.

You didn't laugh, cry, and cheer as you scrolled down?

It's a game day thread and that's the introduction? Fenway makes some of the best I've ever seen I for one love them.

 

[northeastern]

Well I think you and I are going to have to agree to disagree

But still expecting this series to go 6+ one way or the other.

 

[KPower]

The Bruins will bring their A game tonight and play a much more physical style.

5-2 leafs.

 

[93gilmour93]

I keep thinking this game goes to overtime tonight

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Leafs gotta stay out of the box. 5v5 we’re really tough to beat. Can’t get caught in the weeds with the scrums and stick work. Backes isn’t in because he’s a dynamic offensive player, or because he helps them skate with us.

They’ve shown their hand. We know what the plan is. Don’t play their game.

That said, the Bruins are a really solid team who has shown they can win consistently. I want the Leafs to head home up 2-0 as much as anyone, but this feels like a Boston win.

I literally LOL'd.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Lets go.

[GlitchMarner]

Expecting the Bruins to bring it tonight. If they lose, this series is done.

 

[PucksOnNet]

Hmm this looks like a GDT that would belong on the Bruins board.

 

[Bedards Dad]

I like the cut of your jib

 

[Mats13]

A win here would have Boston shook.

If the Leafs can pull through today, this series is done in 4.

 

[Golden Puppers]

i love the specificity of the start time in the title

 

[Peiskos]

If you told Leafs fans a few weeks ago that we’d be coming back to Toronto with a 1-1 split pretty much every Leafs fan would have been happy, but coming back 2-0 is there for the taking. Let’s goooo!!!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Bruins should play their game of the season tonight. They need a win here

 

[ErnieLeafs]

A win here would have Boston shook.

If the Leafs can pull through today, this series is done in 4.

I wouldn’t go that far, but Leafs in 5 or 6 is much more likely. Boston’s gonna get at least 1, even if we win tonight.

Ironically, Rene Rancourt retired, so it's safe to watch the intro to Bruins home games again. But old habits die hard, I guess.
