Series Talk: Leafs vs Bruins - 'ah shit here we go again' edition -- Full schedule post #933

[DarkKnight]

The reporters are unprepared. Most of these questions are a complete waste of time?

I just hope his attitude is infectious.

Dallas coach DeBoer on Domi last year:

"I loved Max. I loved what he brought on the ice, but I also loved the energy that he brought to our room and the accountability he brought on the ice to the other team with his physicality," praised DeBoer. "He’s just a really great guy to be around. He’s got a great energy to him every day, and he’s got a great competitiveness to him. We miss him within our group, and we wouldn’t have gotten to the Conference Finals without him last year and his contributions for us."

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I have been super down on the guys all year and this stops the second the puck drops. It's time to become a hater of our opponents now!

As the rock says "Let's go Leafs!"

We can take these guys. Have you seen their forward depth? Pasta is sick yes. What else? 45 year old Marchand and???

Their lineup has league minimum players in their top 6 (Danton heinen).

Jake Debrusk who has asked for a trade twice this week.

Charlie Coyle scored his first hat trick this year and he's been in the league 1000 games.

JVR? Don't make me laugh. He was washed BEFORE Kessel

Morgan Geekie? Suitable name. This guys a nerd!

Jesper Boqvist/John Beecher - Don't pretend these guys are not chatgpt names

Pat Maroon - their own commentator called him out. Dressing room distraction

It pretty simple, neutralize Pastrnak and your odds grow exponentially. Unfortunately someone needs to devise a strategy and execute it to do so. I don't have confidence in either the coach or the players to do so.

 

[Torontonian]

Would be pretty strange to give a player a maintenance day before starting a playoff series where you don’t get another practice until probably before Game 4.

Well, he didn't miss a shift the entire Tampa game and was out there in the final mins, so I don't know if its a injury or what.

 

[The Apologist]

I look forward to an evenly reffed series

Awesome, but this thread is about Boston and Toronto.....

 

[The Apologist]

Prediction contest thread on which Leaf gets suspended by game 2?

Austin Matthews. He'll get five games for using his face to break a Bruins stick during a completely accidental incident where it swings at him.

 

[Rob Brown]

Do we have anyone committed to do GDTs for the main boards? Or a sign up? Def want to avoid what happened last year with the GDT not being posted till like 5pm lol.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Leafs in 4

 

[weems]

One of the big keys will be playing with lots of physicality and intensity but also being disciplined.
We cannot take too many penalties in this matchup, because if it becomes a battle of special teams we will most likely lose.
5v5, we should be able to carry alot of the play.

5v5 shot attempts for per 60/ 5v5 shot attempts against per 60

Toronto


Boston

 

[crump]

Banking on looking at these pictures at the end of the series and seeing a hero or two.

 

[Notsince67]

Marner is one to look at, I wonder if he will be intimidated again in the playoffs, Marchand will trash talk him and in the past, Marner quit out of fear.

Why would Marner have fear?

 

[Niagara Bill]

Why would Marner have fear?

Money and Mrs Mitchy.
Stanley Cup, leading playoff scorer, equals 15m per year.
First round loss, 11m per yr.

 

[NinjaKick]

if we beat boston... we're going all the way

[TMLBlueandWhite]

I can't freakin' wait.

I haven't been this excited about a game since this time last year. I might even be more excited now. I'm convinced they either go far or something BIG happens.

Because it's not just the impatient f***s like me demanding success anymore.

Even Joe Casual Weekender is piping up. Fans can only be satisfied by regular season and individual accomplishments for so long. At some point results have to meet expectations instead of expectations continually lowered to match results.

There's no excuse for the Leafs to lose this series.

Boston is a bubble team without their goaltending. The main reason provided by fans saying the Bruins will win is the Leafs recent history of choking. A dismal past has left a dejected fan base questioning the organizational motives.

It's amazing how quickly winning fixes that.

I don't have a clue what point you are trying to make.

Either that or you're smoking too much on 4/20.

 

[Leafsfanperson]

Can they drop the f'ing puck so I can get to the bar at decent time ffs

 

[Leafsfanperson]

1030 start tonight...

 

[Leafsfanperson]

Love the punch in the face and no call but we get bs penalties.

Fire Keefe for putting Robertson out there, dude nothing but a goal suck, hate him on the ice.

 

[Niagara Bill]

I don't have a clue what point you are trying to make.

Marner needs to show he is not a coward, just due it fir his favourite reasons, wife and money.

 

[sxvnert]

At least we.expected.this.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

At least we.expected.this.

I've learned from the past. I bailed after the 2nd goal. Same shit different year.

Coward?
Holy shit this place.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Gotta figure out their goalie if we're tryna win this series

 

[stickty111]

Changes for next game.
Reaves out and one of Lyb or Edmundson out
