Jackets - Leafs best of 5 play-in

[Iron Balls McGinty]

regardless if anything comes up in it or not, I feel like just the fact he is getting an MRI make the likelihood he plays at under 10%. For someone who has balls as big as Nationwide Arena I wish he'd get hurt in the playoffs a lot less.

Leafs fan coming in peace. Just want to say, you guys are a classy bunch. Every fan base has its set of crazies, the size of the leaf fan base unfortunately makes it seem like we’ve got too many of them (maybe) but the majority are still just hardcore hockey fans and actually quite reasonable. The comments and debates I’ve seen with your fan base has typically been unbiased and reasonable. Great series with some crazy swings, if we leafs lose, BJs would be one of the teams I’d be cheering for. One of my good buddies happens to be a CBJ fan, so light trash talking is totally a thing . Cheers

You guys just have low standards after dealing with B's fans.

RE: Why Tortorella never called a timeout - someone pointed out they didn't want to give a rest to the Leafs' top line and I think they're right. After the 2nd goal against the Leafs kinda burned a minute off the clock to get some rest, then pull Andersen again with under 2 minuets left.

while I realize it's college vs. professional....

with all the football leagues cancelling, the loser tomorrow night may not see their team play again for a long...long time

Yeah, I don't see the NHL playing until a vaccine or some sort of remedy is put forth.

Toronto is favored by oddsmakers but not heavily. Seems like free money honestly. They started actually trying in the last 5 mins and Columbus was suddenly overmatched and playing with the Yips.

putting $100 on Toronto.

Think we can agree on one thing, Bruins fans are the equivalent of neanderthals.

Toronto had three shots on net and they all went in. I don't think they had some incredible pressure or that the Jackets had some incredible psychological collapse. The puck just went in.

 

[KCbus]

We were fine 5-on-5. All four goals were 6-on-5 or power play.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Currently a +139, so not a huge dog. I think we are evenly matched and have different strengths.

The trick is to never take a 3 goal lead. I think we can do it!

The key is avoiding the most dangerous lead in hockey. We held it twice in Game 4.

 

[KCbus]

Not that this is on anyone's minds right now, but guess who we play if we win tomorrow night?

Yep. Tampa Freaking Bay.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Don't mean to be a bother.

Any news on werenski? We have heard nothing much on Muzzin. Wonder if most injuries will be kept under the wraps due to COVID?

Just wanted to let you guys know if we lose and you sweep the lightning again, drinks on me if you are ever in my neck of the woods

Yep. Tampa Freaking Bay.

Tampa looked anemic, so it should be another sweep for them, like last season

You can't have a 3 goal lead without having a 2 goal lead first.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Man, the Jackets have broken me. I'm still suffering from game 4.

I didn't watch but I heard they lost Hedman to injury again. I'm not sure what happened but he was a big reason the CBJ were able to win last year. Tampa will have problem with whoever they have to play if he is out in the series.

 

[Bookker]

Same here
I hope they'll take their revenge from last game... but it will be tough for sure.
They need to be really sharp mentally.

It would be time for Bjorkstrand to wake up btw.
It's not like the other "leaders" were actually good except PLD, but Bjork is just a freakin ghost since the beginning. He is so so bad...
Even Wennberg was maybe more useful at times for his defensive game..

 

[Monstershockey]

Bjorkstrand seems to struggle against Toronto. He had 3 points in his first 4 games against them, and 1 in his last 6. If you count the playoffs it would be his last 10 games. Of the teams he has played against 10 or more times, he has his lowest point totals against Toronto and Pittsburgh. Could be Toronto is just one of the teams he doesn't have good luck against, or he just doesn't match up well with them. He definitely is someone they need to get some production from.

 

[DarkandStormy]

OBJ has been a ghost this series.

I believe this is an actual rule or agreement between the PA and NHL.

So no news on Werenski, but its doubtful he plays IMO.

EDIT: Looks like hes in

Color me surprised about Z and Murray.

Korpi deserves the start. Two soft goals vs one.
