ECQF Game 2: Toronto Maple Leafs (3) at Boston Bruins (2) 8 PM EDT | CBC, NBC, TVAS

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

If Bruins bring their heavy game again should be a easy win.

 

[NyQuil]

(some) People overestimate Kadri's importance to the team.

Well, we've heard all year about how Toronto has the most depth at forward in the league (top 9, top 12?).

I guess this is the time to prove it.

A lot of teams lose one guy in the playoffs.

 

[Loosie]

Doesn't mean much...hes still a pos.

Ask Jumbo Joe

So is Marchand, so I guess with Kadri out for 3 games the balance of POSness goes to Boston.

Yup....we need this year's version of 2001-02 of Alyn McCauley.

That's fine for us...we know he's a POS and love him.

But when he does stupid things, we don't defend him either.

I wasn't defending Kadri's hit either. There will always be some from each fanbase that will defend so blanket statements like "we don't defend him either" are kind of silly.

 

[La Masse]

I'll say this, it's way easier to watch this knowing the head hunter is out for 3 games now.

Marchand’s not playing tonight?

 

[Engineer]

Marchand’s not playing tonight?

Marchand isn’t a head hunter, he’s a pest.

Kadri also isn’t a head hunter, dude has a mean temper though. He went into weird evil mode last game and started throwing questionable hits and knees; needs to keep his emotions in check.

I wonder what Johansson would have to say about that

 

[Engineer]

A reckless hit; a head hunter one does not make.

Otherwise Kadri is certainly a head hunter under your evidently extremely biased opinion.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The Leafs will come out flying. This will be a hard fought game.

I agree. The Bruins will have to be ready. Kadri is playing unglued, and he was giving Bruins PIMS. They might even be better without him. So many of these situations like these favour the team with adversity. Regardless, I think most reasonable people here know Kadri deserved 3 games.

Leafs will take game 2 tonight. We are still in for a long series

Oh ok...that makes sense th.....wait....WHAT????

Lmfao

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I am guessing this will be an ugly loss for Toronto....6-1 Boston......

I’m guessing you’re either jinxing it, or you’re my new favorite poster.

 

[Porkleaker]

Breaking news out of Toronto


but really, everyone drive safe.

 

[Knotty Moog]

Today I learned that the Maple Leafs own the NHL. Did you guys know that?

How do you think that will affect this series goingforward?

Well that’s a lie.

 

[bb_fan]

Because some Leafs fans predicted that they'd win the series, the same way most fans do? You're going to get hung up on that?

Hung up? I was just responding to post talking about the same.

Who's hung up here?

Try hanging up?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Nash sounds like he's not ready but is close. If Wingels can't go, Donato is in.

 

[bb_fan]

Oh ya? So there's still hope? Well, guess i'll grab my apocalypse survival kit and hope for the best!!

Oh I didn't say there was hope....

 

[Liferleafer]

Oh I didn't say there was hope....

False hope is still hope....

 

[bb_fan]

False hope is still hope....

It's a game at a time until it's over... I expected a 6 game series and wouldn't be surprised if it's 7.

Just looking forward to some good hockey!

Alrighty....keep the elbows down and sticks on the ice!! And FFS...stop kissing our Uncle Leo Marchand!!!

Marchand got suspended for tonight?
