Pre-Game Talk: Here We Go Again | Leafs @ Bruins Game 7

[Evilhomer]

Yea, but you guys are talking non-sense. Why would the league hate Toronto and want them to lose? For what reason? And why does the leagues sometimes fix it for Boston but sometimes they don't?

Because the beauty of conspiracy theories is that you aren't bound by pesky things like logic or rational thought, so everything can be fit nicely into the narrative no matter how contradictory it might be.

Yea, the league wants Boston to win, except when they play Florida. I can’t get all the conspiracy theories straight, man.

They have so many cups. Sure, league wants them to win.

I thought the league wanted Pittsburgh to win? Or Vegas? Or is it Tampa? So many winners.

[TorMapleJays]

fire a puck at him like we did via Rooney and let the chips fall where they may

 

[Gallagbi]

Which is why I believe that Keefe is now locked in for at least next season, which is not necessarily a good thing.


Should pin this one to the top of every thread.

We'll see how Game 7 goes, but he's out coached Montgomery this series. Game 7 when Willy misses 3 games and Matthews at least 2.

 

[willmma]

Also I guess Marchand pushing the ref is just going to get swept under the rug

Supposed to be 10 games

Only questions allowed are about the Holmberg push. Thank you.

I'm confident that my dog (that's her to the left) could outcoach Monty, or at least give him a run for his money.

one thing that could be in our favour is that we have effectively played 2 straight game 7s already and played our best hockey. i think at least for the start of the game thats going to give us an advantage.

 

[Kiwi]

I think Boston have looked a little shell shocked and afraid of making a mistake since we went down 3-1 in the series

We need to get off to a strong start and just keep the pressure on, sports are way more fun with the other guys pills in a vice

 

[Leaf Fans]

Exercising Demons sounds difficult. What do you say?

“Lucifer, Beelzebub, Marchand!
No pain, no gain. Drop and give me twenty!”

Which raises a question: “Do the Bruins have to buy special skates to fit Marchand’s cloven hooves?”

Or, of course, the word posters are looking for might indeed be “exorcises.”

See how much faster and harder you skate with a pitchfork in your ass.

 

[The Management]

The boys just need to stay disciplined and keep shots to the outside. I've been pretty impressed with our blueline. You can tell they struggle with puck movement out of the zone, but they do an excellent job getting in shooting lanes and preventing the cycle.

At the other end of the ice, just please take the puck to the net and get bodies in front of Swayman. Draw first blood, draw it early, and make the boogeyman of another 3-1 series upset jingle around in their heads.

I was actually starting to feel positive about this game until I found out who the official will be...

That is just as informative as when people attribute the nonsensical definition of insanity to him.

Is the Official, official or speculated?

 

[Clark4Ever]

Is the Official, official or speculated?

It's not officially official yet, but highly likely based on speculation.

Toronto should have no pressure on them tomorrow night in Boston. No one gave them a hope in hell at winning this series. You have to think that Boston is panicking hard right now. I think all the team needs to do is go in there play their game and get the job done.

 

[Roo]

Got to hope we pull through as this is a huge opportunity for the team. There are a few major differences compared to other seasons.

1. Goaltending is solid.
2. Team defense is solid.
3. Were more physical than we’ve been in a long time.
4. Our game keeps improving. G6 was arguably our best. Disciplined, but also the better team at 5-on-5 play.
5. We’ve adapted to how teams play us in the playoffs. Previously we would keep playing the perimeter. Now there is more of an emphasis on driving the net and getting dirty goals. We’ve flipped the script and now defend by executing the same approach and it’s Boston that can’t score.
6. We’ve thrived on the road.

It all guarantees nothing in the end, but I feel more confident than in series past. Even without Matthews.

Marchand suspension ?



apparently not

Bruins’ Marchand Avoids Suspension for Shoving Linesman

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand appears to have dodged any discipline for shoving linesman Ryan Daisy during Game 6 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

[CelticDruid]

No doubt the rest of the NHL refs and linesman have put Marchand on notice.

Short leash for that scumbag.

While I do agree, Boston should now be playing with the same level of desperation that we have had for the past two games and we'll need to be ready for it. Fingers crossed!

 

[Confucius]

Please play.

Not well enough to play what could have been the final game of the season. Next morning there is some progress. Soooo, I’m guessing he is not close to being healthy and should not play

 

[egd27]

I thought the party line was "no updates"? Is this some sort of low rent mind game?

Marek saying he's hearing Wes McCauley might get the call for this game

f*** that shit. f***ing hope not.

thats why i only said for the start of the game, but in reality nothing is certain. we could blow them out, they could blow us out, could be 0-0 going into OT, impossible to say.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Oh my f***ing god. Please no. This guys is the absolute worst and most biased official, f*** Wes. Bring back Tim Peel for all I care, just no Wes please.

Surprised this POS isn’t offed like a Boeing whistleblower…
