Boys, im stickin by Toronto in 6.

Game 1- Toronto
Game 2- Boston
Game 3- Toronto
Game 4- Toronto
Game 5- Boston
Game 6- Toronto

I am in agreement but if we can win game one I can see it over in 5 as well. If we get on a roll we will be hard to beat. Lot more leadership this year.

Leafs can win the series but they must go beyond what they have done in the regular season. The team must play with some grind and skill. Can't be afraid to win puck battles all over the ice. Can't turn away from taking the man in all zones vs a stick check.

To me that is the most important thing to this whole series can they match their high skill level with some intensity and willingness to pay the price all over the ice to win battles.

Matthews, Nylander among others were a no show in that capacity going against the Orge Chara. Guess what it is going to happen again so can they rise above the challenge and pay the price to make plays in the offensive zone and in the defensive zone can they get pucks out instead of getting cycled.

The D has to be the same way. You are going to get run but are you willing to stand in there to make a breakout pass or bail and throw it up the wall to their D waiting.

Go into this with the underdog no one believes in us including our fans and use that as fuel to play hard and fast.

hopefully at least our assistant coaches get fired, if not Babcock. It depends how the series goes, but our special teams were awful this year
