Is it weird that I want Plek as our main C against their top line.

I just feel comfortable. The same way I do without Leo.

And I love Leo, have his Moscow jersey signed.

Paging William Nylander....William Nylander to the series please....

Yeah kid needs some life in him. He is doing everything with regular season intensity and needs to kick it up a notch for sure.

 

[FlareKnight]

In the end the Leafs need to bring their best game. Everyone needs to give everything they can for this one. Need our top guys bringing it and everyone else finding a way to contribute.

They want to keep playing then that's the only option. Get out there and just throw everything at Boston.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Kind of crazy that he's yet to show up (the way we know he can), and yet this series continues.

I'd be scared if I was a Bruins' fan.

my feeling is that we force a game seven (that was my series prediction - Game 7 double overtime because #drahmah so i am sticking with it) but that would be my worry if i was a Bruin. Matthews has been chipping away at this series trying to get his feet under him. like he's had a bad series but he's been waaaaay too quiet (and i don't feel he's a 1 goal, 1 assist kind of guy). he's about to go nuclear

(i've felt the same way for Kapanen. this guy is gonna score big time lol)

 

[SprDaVE]

Rask said the Bruins will win tonight. I'd expect a heck of a bounce back game for him, even if he hardly was their problem.

 

[PromisedLand]

Refs stay the same for the whole series right?

Great

Refs

In 17-18 Record for Leafs and bruins under these guys

• Boston has a winning record under both the refs
• St.Laurent has allowed boston to win all games he is reffed; while leafs are 3-2
• Under Pollak leafs have a losing record 2-4

good job at picking the refs NHL; if the refs ruin it for the Leafs I WOULD BE PISSED OFF


Linesman

A French ref and an Anglophone ref for whom home win% is below 50; someone hold me.........................

Ya, and Talbot said the Oilers would make the playoffs.....

Last game was the first game I was able to watch, I've never had a busier April in my life! Admittedly, after hearing about each game my energy for it just wasn't there. Nice to see the Leafs fought back a bit, and holy hell last game was stress - glad i've only experienced one game of it so far. Lets see if they can push this one to 7, GLG.

Your energy to watch a playoff game wasn't there?

Skate hard and often.

yeah he's either going to outplay Andersen tonight or on Wednesday, and I don't know that we can win when he does

 

[Zizzzzy]

Yeah kid needs some life in him. He is doing everything with regular season intensity and needs to kick it up a notch for sure.

He is playing like Phil Kessel right now.

Yeah, guys like Kap (who I feel has been tremendous despite having little to show for it) and Nylander should wake up shortly. They're too talented to be so quiet.

Matthews should be considered an entirely different thing, IMO. He's a force. Its almost like having a storm beat down on an old roof; little leaks here and there, but your head is still dry. But everyone knows that roof is coming off. Just a matter of time.

 

[Cor]

Well they are 1-0 without him

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He is playing like Phil Kessel right now.

Phil Kessel is an elite playoff performer

 

[Zizzzzy]

Phil Kessel is an elite playoff performer

Ok ok, sorry. Nylander is playing like Toronto Maple Leaf regular season Phil Kessel.

 

[mashedpotato]

Well in this series the team that scores first has won every game.

... Now I'm even more nervous because the previous games have all been determined in the first period.
Guess it'll either be a long or a short night for the kids.

 

[tom leafers]

6 hours to go and im already nervous/excited and cant sit still. Come on leafs, you got this.

anyone considering going to maple leafs square? beautiful day out there

 

[Jozay]

Ok ok, sorry. Nylander is playing like Toronto Maple Leaf regular season Phil Kessel.

Phil Kessel was elite when he was with the Leafs lol

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Is it home time yet ?

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Ok ok, sorry. Nylander is playing like Toronto Maple Leaf regular season Phil Kessel.

You can not compare mediocre 60 point player (largely due to Matthews) to a PPG player who was playing with JVR and Bozak.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Excited and nervous for the outcome of tonights game.

I still believe Boston will win the series given that it's unlikely they'll lose four straight.

I hope to force a game 7 though.

3 straight.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I prefer Plek on the shutdown role
Leaves Kadri free to dance like last game

Noor Not that, he is clearly better at getting under the skin of Marchand and Bergeron.

 

[Loosie]

 

[AvroArrow]

So no leo

lmao the media guys were trying SO hard to get Babcock to talk about the officiating, smart move by him to avoid the fine and any other effect it might have on the way the games called. The answer was pretty obvious if you saw his face and body language though
