In Memoriam: Boston at Toronto

[Pi]

He has a lot of trouble with speed, but otherwise yeah he can still play.

Chara is definitely a gamer. He’s better than Hainsey and he’s got like 4 years on him as well. He skates faster than Hainsey lol.

 

[LeafFever]

Toronto Strong

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Take a hint series tied 3-3 guys like you have no clue!!!

As I said, he has made some great saves and he's allowed some terrible goals. You are allowed to be objective in life. I will go out on a limb and guess you are one of those people who aims low in life and hits your target with astonishing frequency?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Where are the people who said Freddy isn't good enough for Toronto? He's played like that almost all year, that's why we were hard on him earlier. Just need Matthews to get going and we'll be set.

 

[Sheppy]

I’m going to the airport with a potato sack and trapping Andersen so he doesn’t make game 7. BRB.

 

[Rob Brown]

Toronto baby

 

[Kurtz]

You said the penalties were pretty even so that means it was well officiated. If I need to explain to you what's wrong with that statement then... well I'm just not cause its not worth my time

You complaining about officiating gets more and more precious with every post. Keep at it.

The Raptors and Leafs will have games going on at the same time on Wednesday. Who gets Maple Leaf Square?

Home team usually gets the square. So safe to say it'll be the Raps.

I feel even as a Bruins fan, if leafs lose, they did hell of a job. They want to beat this Bruins team bad.

Think it's the same as 2013. If Bruins advance, they go to the finals. Leafs advance they lose fairly quick to lightening.

They have such terrible defense, but they've played with such heart.

Beating Boston is their Stanley cup this year.

Hope it doesn't happen, but they get down in game 7...it isn't happening like 2013.

Eh, while I get what you're saying, I wouldn't be so sure of that for a number of reasons:

1.Kadri is completely fresh and playing very well
2.Willie has been AWFUL and Mats has been very very meh this series
3.Andersen has been all over, but is finally starting to turn it around
4.The Hockey Gods have punished Babcock by sacrificing his only begotten son Leo "guddest pro" Komarov to the IR and thus he actually has to play our best lines

That said, I'm def not looking past the Bruins nor would it shock me if they somehow won the cup, but I do think that we would still pose a very real challenge for Tampa, especially with Vassilevsky not being great as of late. I guess the good thing for the Leafs is that taking a Stanley cup contender to 7 is a win and improvement over last.

Our d is very meh, but when you have a guy who nearly scored 40 goals on your 4th line and if Andersen is rolling Vezina style, we always have a chance.

so Backes elbows Freddie and then gets into it with Polak but ref says 4 on 4 and bruins fans are crying about interference?

Backes should be suspended for that blatant elbow on Freddie

#LOSER

 

[Melrose Munch]

@Melrose Munch

Thanks

he sucks and he stares down the defense when the other team scores. time for Boston to move on.

 

[Smif]

One thing I hope Toronto and other people can see, that Chara can still defend. This is what Bruins fans have seen the past 2 years.

Couldn't agree more, I'm quite disappointed at how good he still is. He keeps it simple.

Dude. He was trying to get his stick on a tip, he didn’t try to kill him, haha.

 

[Loosie]

Boston has 16 shots in the last two periods. Just 7 in the third.

Don’t blame the refs. Blame the Bruins for forgetting to show up after the first intermission.

And unlike the Leafs in Game 5 this is NOT due to a parade to the penalty box.

 

[LeafFever]

Bruins in 4. Amiright? Lol

Kadri won't play again this year (Joke repeated dozens of times).

 

[Kurtz]

Chara is definitely a gamer. He’s better than Hainsey and he’s got like 4 years on him as well. He skates faster than Hainsey lol.

Well in fairness to Hainsey, Chara was the best dman in the league for the better part of a decade after Lidstrom retired, so he has more ground to cover during his prolonged fall.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Home team usually gets the square. So safe to say it'll be the Raps.

I wonder if game 7 will change that. Because everybody will be watching game 7 lol

 

[Holymakinaw]

Nice to have a little something to cheer about, on such a horrible day in Toronto.

It's split.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Say what you want about this Leafs team, but they sure are persistent. Down 3-1, and without their best two-way player for three games, yet they find ways to win and haven't shied away from engaging with the Bruins in terms of physicality.

This has shaped up to be the most entertaining series of the first round this year.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

I wonder if game 7 will change that. Because everybody will be watching game 7 lol

they show both games

 

[Maplebeasts]

Boston was the better team. Just couldn't bury their chances

That's what every loser says.

Enjoy it because you wont be around in 48 hours

You serious? You think all they want is to beat Boston? let me assure you they want more

 

[Loosie]

Leafs because it’s a game 7

Raptors will as it goes to the home team. But I think they'll have both games up.
