yes but are these realities fair if observed by a fan of a team participating. Find me a BOS fan that thinks TO should have won the series.

Are there people who are wearing Leafs-coloured glasses, or Bruins-coloured? Of course. There is more to determining who 'deserves' to win than statistics, though. At the end of the series both teams 'deserved' to win, in that both played well and hard - the Leafs threw the series away when they had it in hand, but if they had held on, they would have deserved the win just as much as Boston did, in the end.

Just my two nickels' worth.

Well whats the point than right?
Don;t let facts slow ye down

exactly. There's no point. TO fans think TO deserved to win the series and their minds can't be changed. That was my point thank you

Yeah, you know for the most part I'm unbiased. Leafs deserved to win...I wish you didn't play the Bruins, because as I have said I like the Leafs.

Truly one of the most incredible comebacks/collapses I've witnessed in 25 years of covering the NHL. WOW.

By the way... anyone else hear Jim Huston during the handshakes say "There is Kessel and Seguin who were basically traded 1 for 1."

Holy Poo-throwing-monkees, is that a revision of history there.

Not to be a sore loser, but Boston isn't going anywhere this year.

They needed to dispatch TO quickly and get some rest. And if Boston runs into the Pens, the refs won't be pulling for them anymore.
- Leeman4Gilmour

yea, I agree. Especially with injuries to Seidenberg and Ference. Rolling with 2 rookie D men in Hamilton and Bartkowski. I don't know if they'll make it past round 2

yes and BOS scored 4 goals in 15 minutes and out-scoring-chanced TO the whole game.

again, I'm not going to argue facts. You can see what you want to see
- TheNugeIsHuge

Not the whole game . Leafs owned the first 2 periods. You'd have to have watched and know hockey to understand that.

Corsi.

To say that the Leafs did not deserve to win after taking Boston to game 7. Having a 4-1 lead with ten minutes left in the game is well.....stupid.

Yeah, you know for the most part I'm unbiased. Leafs deserved to win...I wish you didn't play the Bruins, because as I have said I like the Leafs.

the series or the game tonight?

Bottom line...

Toronto has a lot to be proud of...

Boston dodged a very embarrassing bullet but should never had been in the situation in the first place.

.@sluuby Just to be clear: No NHL team had ever blown a 3-goal lead in 3rd period of a Game 7. Never, ever. Until tonight. #Leafs

look, TO lasted a helluva lot longer than I thought, but they were outplayed!. Reimer shoulda won. TO shouldn't have

Really? What video shows that? I can show you a great angle of the water bottle thing... when you see a bite video.... speak up.

Bob Mackenzie: "At 4-1, the Bruins fans were literally booing their team off the ice. I've been covering hockey for 30 years and never seen a momentum swing like that"
- fifty__missions

that's because he's a closet Leaf fan.

otherwise, look no further than the Bruins-Flyers.

you can't get a bigger collapse than that... and that with an already veteran lineup.

it's the (frank)ing playoffs. deserving to win a series counts as much as a homeless man deserving to win the lottery.

the leafs got shafted by some shotty reffing, and then they bent over.. spritzed some lube on their own back ends.. and handed everything they'd worked for right back.

it's toronto. only one of those things is going to count in 6 months.

Hamilton has a shot at being the best of the bunch. I'm a big fan. Hard to stay in a lineup as good as BOS's as a 19YO D man all year long

look, TO lasted a helluva lot longer than I thought, but they were outplayed!. Reimer shoulda won. TO shouldn't have
- TheNugeIsHuge

Did you see that boston fan admit the leafs should have won right after you said there wasnt a boston fan saying that?

Becuase you ignored it, just wanted to see if you caught that.

We were winning 4-1 with 10 to go. If you don't understand that who is explaining corsi to you?

And yet, this would be equally true had we held on for 50 more seconds.

It's hard to keep perspective, but this was overtime in game 7 against the Bruins.
