GDT: ECQF Game #1; Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins | Series Tied 0-0 | 7PM CBC

[Kamiccolo]

I vote @Daisy Jane makes the next GDT

You making threads in the playoffs should be considered trolling honestly.

If Kadri gets a suspension I imagine Marleau will move over to center...Although he doesn't like playing there I think he actually does better there than on the wing...We may have little choice.

Depends on what settings you have for posts per page.

Are the fans chanting 'We want cocks'

Komarov definitely has to get off the PP but it wasn't he who whiffed on all those glorious chances the first two periods. A couple of goals there and this would have been a different game. Bruins capitalized on nearly every good chance they have had.

Yup,

High danger chances (All situations):

Leafs 9 - Bruins 9

Gotta bury those chances when we get them.

This game was lost on special teams. Refs haven’t been good but if the Leafs could’ve killed one of the first two penalties and scored on one of our three we aren’t in this position. Babs decision to put the fourth line out in the final minute of the second also really hurt us.

Series isn’t over but our getting embarrassed and a potential Kadri suspension could’ve all been avoided if everyone on the team had done their job better, including Babs.

Sure, they're both dangerous in the same way a butterknife and an assault rifle can both be used as both weapons.

congrats on the strawman argument.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

So

So don't give me this 5 game BS, if the play had been called Kadri wouldn't have had to payback Wingels

Hughson having a good night, at least.

It is really annoying when the Leafs open the door so wide for him.

 

[Mugzy97]

Well there are those who see what they want to see, both sides of the discussion.

Score is honest.

It’s only 1 game, no reason to completely lose your mind about it. And that is what some posters do in these circumstances, they lose it.

The better team wont no matter how we spin it. The Bruins finally got to Kadri after 2 periods of cheapshots, starting to look like Marchand the last half of the game. Guess that's what happens when you have no help.


Our best players haven't been our best players. Nylander a ghost, Marner weak on puck, Matthews no speed to his game but pretty competent in the traffic zones. Kadri was good half the game but the Bruins really put into him.

Nylander though.... pretty damn bad at everything tonight.


Looked like we got killed on faceoffs that mattered. Bozak line might as well have not played



Shoutout to Princess Wingels and Debrusk for playing with dull skates tonight

Marner outside of the pp has done nothing tonight. Nylander hasn’t been great but he put in more effort to fight through than marner has. Why you need to call nylander our twice here is strange

The only way I’m watching the playoffs Is if the leafs are playing if they are out in the 1st round hello blue jays.


I’d probably rather boston win the cup than Winnipeg.... we’ll probably not but still

Boston having success is never acceptable.

 

[Zybalto]

Babcock should be ashamed that he got outcoached by Cassidy

Home ice is really important with two good coaches.

 

[Mats13]

Americans are very ugly. Like the crowd... just ugly.

 

[Tonka]

im getting sick and tired of the ongoing p***yfication of the league. 5 mins for THAT? give me a break

It was a dirty hit, it is what it is.

 

[BoardsOfFun]

time to change diapers, confronting Chara in the playoffs for the first time does that to most young'uns

 

[The Kessel Run]

How many of you said that speed and skill will beat size and grittiness? Give your heads of shake. The Leafs are softer than the Michelin Man. This is what they need to get in the offseason.

I don't think they even played softly. It was an even game, a few unlucky breaks and then they imploded in the third with undisciplined play. (Naz mostly).

 

[connormcmuffin]

I know Babcock is going to steam roll whomever asks him why Komarov on the PP, I hope his next five questions are the same one until he answers

 

[FlareKnight]

Just kind of funny watching this group right now

 

[Leaf of the Mind]

What a complete and thorough destruction.

I think we played even worse than the last playoffs game we played against Bruins. Back-to-back disasters.

Have you forgotten Boston was up 3-1 in that series? What do you think this board will be like if Boston goes up 3-1 this year?

 

[egd27]

Men vs Children is what I'm seeing...

I'm seeing a lot of 5 on 4 and our offensive players sitting on the bench

 

[Legendary]

I really wanted Tampa

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Whoa Bozak, take it easy there. The Bruin might’ve felt a slight tickle on that “hit.”

 

[Leafs27]

Are the fans chanting 'We want cocks'

Yes.

 

[Le Cobra]

What a complete and thorough destruction.

I think we played even worse than the last playoffs game we played against Bruins. Back-to-back disasters.

Reimer kept us in the last one tbh. The only reason the series went to 7 is because he stole games 5 and 6. Majority of Leafs fans forget this fact.

I still have faith that Freddie will bounce back. He is very competitive and will become a factor in this series.

Mike “you’re either up one or down one in the playoffs” Babcock 5-1 Guy doesn’t have a clue how to coach unless he’s got team Canada or lidstrom datsyuk zetterberg in their primes
