ECQF Game 6: Bruins @ Leafs 3PM CBC/SN

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

i hate how teams pull the goalie before establishing possession. giving away free goals.

 

[Sensin5]

The 58 minutes before had nothing to do with it

Had almost everything to do with it. But at that point Leafs were really pressing (finally), but was an early pull and they lost control almost instantly.

As an outsider, why was Marleau on the ice so much towards the end. Seems like Babcock should have been sticking with the big guns instead of vets. Matthews was looking really strong in the 3rd.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I always assumed this series was going 7 so not surprised.

 

[missionAvs]

Always a battle, always takes 7 games. Might be the best current rivalry in the east at least. Should be a fun Tueaday.

Best rivalry in the NHL IMO and it's not particularly close either.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Good game - going to 7 - Boston 4th line looks better with Kuraly.

 

[KWP]

Patrick Sharp - the SOB is as smart as he is ... handsome.
That was some HiQ hockey analysis right there ... carved up Babcock's goalie pull move.

 

[goldenbladz1]

Not a fan of either team but how the hell does Marleau get so much ice time. I thought Seabrook is bad. Holy shit Marleau sucks. Nylander also useless. Cherry bragging up Bergeron. I watched him closely today he did nothing. Marchand did all the work and no antics. krug was also a beast great game for him.

 

[Gurglesons]

Not for long.

Tee time is on Wednesday.

Lol. You’re a joke, bud.

 

[Not So Mighty]

All the Toronto fans that laughed at the Jets last night.

Karma is a *****.

Oof. Don't get ahead of yourself. You're tempting karma yourself. Leafs are still alive and fans are probably bookmarking your comment already.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Boston played an excellent game. Toronto just can’t bring it for 30 minutes. You’ll never beat the best teams like that. If they play at 100% for a full 60, I have no doubt they win Game 7 though.

So Boston playing their best and Toronto only playing for 30 minutes results in Boston barely squeaking out a win? I like those odds. Imagine if Toronto shows up for 40 minutes next time.

 

[Over the volcano]

They aren’t eliminated tho

If any team should have some humility about getting eliminated it’d be Toronto.

 

[Shaman464]

I'm not convinced Boston is a good team. Without Brad Marchand this game would be easy win for Leafs. Leafs looked like better team even in the loss.

You can say that about most teams. Subtract their best player and they usually are substantially weaker for it.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Gotta think Kadri's absence is costing the Leafs, big time.

Again.

If/when the Leafs lose Game 7 they may want to cut ties since he seems uninterested in helping the team come playoff time. They sure could use him.

 

[c9777666]

You had one job, Leafs.

The last thing the world needs is more Boston sports winning.

They might be the most hard to root for team in hockey since the 2011 Canucks.

They already won enough in the last 5 months, let alone decade.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

This game could have been over after the 2nd, if Andersen hadn’t been the best player for Toronto through 2.

Yeah, I can't understand when fans blame the goalie in games like tonight where he was the reason it wasn't a blow out after 2 periods.

 

[swiftwin]

I'm not convinced Boston is a good team. Without Brad Marchand this game would be easy win for Leafs. Leafs looked like better team even in the loss.

Shots were 41-24 my dude. Andersen kept this from being a blowout.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Well another game 7 and potentially another looming choke job from the Leafs again, they never cease to amaze me.

That's the spirit.

 

[heretik27]

Well another game 7 and potentially another looming choke job from the Leafs again, they never cease to amaze me.

Were the Leafs actually the favorites to win this series? I thought it was a slight edge to Boston? Given that it's down to one game, that seems pretty much in line with what I thought I was hearing...

 

[Master P]

That matthews whiff looks huge now. This was the leafs chance to slay the beast. They let it slip.

 

[rocketdan9]

Thank you Drake!

Come to Boston for game 7

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Shots were 41-24 my dude. Andersen kept this from being a blowout.

Did you watch the game? Genuinely asking.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Should have never doubted this series wasn't going 7.

 

[Just Rude]

Better team won tonight again, Leafs need to stop allowing teams to go up 2-0 and actually get some good penalty kills on the board.

The Leafs scored first.

 

[Bedards Dad]

You know every single one you got was garbage right?

Hyman skates in, Chara 2 hands his stick while he gets beaten wide for the 97th time in 6 games
.. no call.

Tavares getsvslewfooted in the middle of the ice... no call.

The Goat penalty was garbage, but Charas delay of game was by the book. Horrible reffing all around.

 

[Rocko604]

I'm not convinced Boston is a good team. Without Brad Marchand this game would be easy win for Leafs. Leafs looked like better team even in the loss.

Without Andersen standing on his head again, it's a much easier win for the Bruins.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Oof. Don't get ahead of yourself. You're tempting karma yourself. Leafs are still alive and fans are probably bookmarking your comment already.

Oh no! The dreaded bookmarking!

What the f*** is this jet racing on NBCSN

 

[Drift]

Its competitive. But I wish there was more hate. Once Kadri is off the ice its pretty cordial lol.
