FLA and TBL will kick the crap out of each other. Works for me.For sure. Also, for a neutral viewer Florida-Tampa should be a hell of a series. A real war.
Bruins can beat the Leafs. Not a given by any means, but if they play well enough and stay healthy it's definitely achievable. Would be annoying to lose to them, but these sorts of clashes are what playoffs are about. Bring it on!
Yep.Leafs in 6
$200 bet going on
They swept Leafs this season so I like our chances.I do keep thinking what Brad said about the last two games vs TO how they get up for them. No matter what happened the last two games, I don’t believe for a second they will sleep walk vs TO. No chance.
If the Leafs can't beat this version of the Boston Bruins in the playoffsFLA and TBL will kick the crap out of each other. Works for me.
I'm glad the Bruins are playing TO, given history and suspect D and goaltending.
But, this may the year the Leafs finally have the last laugh.
We shall see.
It really feels deliberate to me. And personally, I like that less. Finished the season like they were scared of one opponent versus the other. Sloppy, unfocused, unwilling. I think it's intentional.I wish I believed that was deliberate tanking, it would make me feel better. But it wasn’t, just disorganized and disinterested.
Ate bad what?Key to beating Leafs is to pound their d and shoot alot. Both d and goaltending ate bad
Yes.Do you still rotate if Ullmark pitches a 32 save shutout in game 1?
I really don't think it was deliberate. I just think they have been thinking playoffs for months now and these games are just like going to a boring 9-5 job drudgery and they just had a lot of trouble staying motivated while they were thinking ahead. The whole season has been like that.It really feels deliberate to me. And personally, I like that less. Finished the season like they were scared of one opponent versus the other. Sloppy, unfocused, unwilling. I think it's intentional.
It's something that I just. I don't have any respect for it.
All that was missing was Montgomery sending Doug Flutie in to attempt a drop kick on a penalty shot.I think the Bruins are happy with the first-round matchup. Frankly, for very selfish reasons, I wanted Toronto because of travel.
But after giving the Penguins a loss that all but eliminated them the B's only needed 2 points in 2 games to win the division but playing Tampa was not a great reward for winning the division.

Sure does. Makes them look scared and soft. They literally gave zero effort these last two games, which at bare minimum is concerning. Lose with effort and you can tolerate that, not even saying go balls to the wall.It really feels deliberate to me. And personally, I like that less. Finished the season like they were scared of one opponent versus the other. Sloppy, unfocused, unwilling. I think it's intentional.

They tried to make it not so obvious in the third by actually starting to play down 2-0. Well they got what they wanted.They had better show up against TO, they literally tanked 5 of the last 6 periods to get to play them.
BS, that a weak performance by a mentally weak team, very disappointed in this team!I think the Bruins are happy with the first-round matchup. Frankly, for very selfish reasons, I wanted Toronto because of travel.

I have been thinking the same thing, we will see.Will see how good Monty is.
We waved you guys didn’t see us - we were in lobby between periods you left your seats thought we would see you then went to get beer in that store past you

I was disappointed that Danton Heinen did not win the 7th player.
It was nice to see @08SeaBass08 and his little daughter before the game.
Also saw @DKH and his daughter from afar.
