GDT: ECQF: Game 6 - Toronto Maple Leafs Vs Boston Bruins, 8 p.m. ET, TBS

[Gil Gunderson]

More needs to be said about Boston’s choking ability. That was their 6th straight potential series-clinch loss.

 

[Hank Plank]

What happens if Matthews plays in game 7 and the leafs lose?

Steve Dangle will die.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Could see it in those Boston posers faces at the end of the game. They know this series is over.

 

[Givememoneyback]

If Matthews comes back for Game 7 - the choke will be epic

Bruins fans saying Nylander missing 3 games meant nothing and he scored every goal to beat them this game

Checks box score, thanks for educating us idiots on who scored.

 

[Strangle]

It's always been Leafs wins or losses that are the real stress test for the infrastructure

Yup, we rule the roost

 

[Divine]

They've played better without MoneyBags in the line-up. Don't know if you want that guy coming back for a game 7.

He singlehandedly won Game 2.

 

[CaptainCaveman]

Leafs exorcising their demons, Boston creating their own.

Two losses in a row a poor play by McAvoy has resulted in the GWG for the Leafs. He's the Leaf's best friend.

He was terrible last season vs Florida, also. He's a total loser.

 

[Ignatius]

Leafs Cup Parade is BACK ON! Get your tickets right here folks!!!

 

[Warden of the North]

Marner and Nylander are much more important players to the Leafs than Matthews.

Imagine they traded Matthews for a Makar type dman? This team could be a contender.

Nah. Not even close. Especially Marner.

 

[93gilmour93]

I could not imagine any Leafs fan whining about officials after these past three games. The game is 0-0 into the 3rd if not for Rooney endorsing a boarding major.

 

[Strangle]

He singlehandedly won Game 2.

I mean … Willy is nice and all, but Woll is so hot right now

 

[Master P]

What happens if the Leafs win when Nylander missed 3 games and Matthews missed 4?

You probably have to trade everyone.

Only reason I'm asking is because the leafs play has been night and day better with him out of the lineup. Maybe everyone is too focused on trying to get him the puck?

 

[Devilsfan118]

Jack Edwards going out watching the Bruins choke back to back

You just love to see it

 

[POVERTY]

I've seen enough, send Matthews to Utah

 

[Rudy Russo]

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Nobody should be blaming the refs for the Bruins' loss. The Bruins were holding and interfering most of the night as Toronto played gutsy hockey. Any blame should be on the absent Boston stars and choke job coach.

 

[AvroArrow]

McAvoy is overrated. Not sure why so many say he’s elite when he’s not.

That's the one thing that's stood out to me most this series. He's good, but definitely not anywhere near elite, also an extremely dirty player. I think he looked a lot better playing next to Chara, guys great offensively, but doesn't really do a whole lot in his own end other than cheapshot guys.

This is Big Bag Willy’s team now!!

 

[Tofveve]

Congrats Leafs, good to see!

Now can they do it in game 7. We shall find out!

 

[sxvnert]

Bruins thought they had the:

Size advantage - Fail
Goaltending advantage - Fail
Home ice advantage - Fail

 

[trilobyte]

Yup, we rule the roost

ehh....it can be interprested in different ways

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Only reason I'm asking is because the leafs play has been night and day better with him out of the lineup. Maybe everyone is too focused on trying to get him the puck?

I don't think you over think it. If Matthews is healthy and can play...he plays.

Generational choking
