Useless stat of the day...

Boston is 40% (4 for 10) in game 6’s since 2010

Leafs have only played in 2 in the same time frame and are 1 for 2 (50%)

However, if you extend that to the past 10 game 6’s for Toronto, they are 3-7.

Moral of the story; Neither team are very successful in game 6’s

So we're to expect a 1-0 win on a fluke goal...remains to see which team scores

It cannot...Bruins were 3-1 in this series...in 58-59 it was 2-0, then 2-2...

Already crying about the calls i see

Chara punches someone else in the face tonight and doesn’t get a penalty

Someone other than a fourth line forward finally wakes up for Boston

The horseshoe falls out of Andersen’s butthole.

Bruins fly home preparing for Tampa Bay.

Toronto cries, bookending the series with tears.

 

[TD Charlie]

Is Boston really the bookmakers favourite to win tonight? Usually they know what they're doing but I don't get this at all. Last home game we were very slight favourites so now that we have Kadri back why are we underdogs?

Maybe there's something I'm not aware of but as it is, I don't get this at all.

Emotional let down from a young team after a big win in Boston.

I don't get people praising Andersen given the number of bad goals he has given up that quite simply never should have been scored? Yes he has made some stellar saves too but he has had some absolute stinkers.

Toronto has some high powered offense that hasn't showed up yet. Will it show up?

 

[Marshy]

May the refs be the best team out there tonight.

No injuries. Play fair. Cheat if you can and may the best team win as long as the Bruins are 2nd best.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Emotional let down from a young team after a big win in Boston.

I don't think bookmakers give a lot of weight to things like that.

 

[Over the volcano]

Crap, it's the same Refs as Saturday?

Could go either way - could just as easily be a full of make up calls.

I'm hoping they put their whistles away and let both teams play.

Are you OK?

This makes no sense, best i can interpret is that you hope the refs are the best group, then Boston, then Toronto (omitted)

 

[TOGuy14]

fingers crossed Kadri won't be a dirty POS again

Really hoping Marchand stops driving Mariner’s head into the ice on purpose. At the very least he will finally get a penalty / suspended for it

The Bambis are second best.

Let’s hope the refs don’t feel bad for them again!

 

[wintersej]

Expect more urgency from the Bruins in game 6. The lack of killer instinct in game 5 was disappointing, but I expect them to avoid game 7.

The Bambis need the refs to be strong for them. Makes sense if he’s a Boston fan.

 

[Cor]

So we're to expect a 1-0 win on a fluke goal...remains to see which team scores

Either that or a 10 OT game that Bettman eventual rules a draw and a Game 7 “winner take both games” game

 

[ACC1224]

Could go either way - could just as easily be a full of make up calls.

I'm hoping they put their whistles away and let both teams play.

A little more balance in the calls is all that is expected.

 

[TD Charlie]

Are you OK?

It’s monday but otherwise I’m aight. Have a busy schedule today but it’s a good thing i suppose. Thanks for asking. How are you today?

Well don't sugar coat it.
Tell us how you really feel.

Nah - put the whistles away. Nobody came to watch the reffs.

 

[ACC1224]

Nah - put the whistles away. Nobody came to watch the reffs.

That could provide balance.
The refs need to be told they are the ones being watched, they came very close to being the stars of game 5.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

fingers crossed Kadri won't be a dirty POS again

Fingers crossed refs don't gift Boston 6 PP's

 

[TD Charlie]

I don't think bookmakers give a lot of weight to things like that.

I’m not a big gambling man but I’ve got a few friends who are always following these things. That’s one of the factors he mentions constantly. Whether Vegas factors it in i have no idea, but there definitely seems to be a trend.

 

[La Masse]

6-2 Leafs with 4 PP goals

Let’s just hope there isn’t a mistake on a delay of game penalty. That’s when we’ve seen the real crying. I suppose it’s a far worse call than “2 minutes for getting punched in the face”.
