Honestly a good game. Our third string goalie kept us in it. All you could have asked of Hutch.

The real crux was the mistakes made came back to haunt us. Especially the Pasternak off the bench goal. And that wasn’t really on the defence, more the damn forward who utterly ignores him as he skates right by and to the net unchallenged.

Still expect moves and shoring things up. A few pieces away really but definitely a lot of positive to take out of the game in the end.

So has Matthews returned from vacation yet? Nylander? Kadri?

Hutch or Sparks - which one do you keep?

I missed the first. And I don't believe you that he said that.

High danger scoring chances in the first: 8-0 Leafs

It's Saturday night. UG can't be here, he's busy being the King of the Incels.

those are (frank)ing epic.

I don’t know. Maybe we should ask that one Bruins fan who shows up in this thread once in a while.
- Steven_Seagull

All of them?

Mainly the Habs and Penguins. The Leafs hatred will grow in the coming years i am sure The Flyers too but they have kind of become an afterthought.

For me Hutch. I dont like Sparks, never have. That gaping 5 hole, poor positioning, and piss poor rebound control just drives me nuts.

This a joke?
Literally our three best players last night

Kadri was good. Nylander looked good for about 30 seconds. Matthews looks like a guy with a bum shoulder.

Another disappointing 'big game' performance for the team...

So much wrong with this.
Can't say I'm surprised.

Really?

Are you sure you're talking about performance? Seems you may be confusing outcome and performance.

So much wrong with this.
Can't say I'm surprised.

The leafs played pretty well last night, good enough to have a shot at a win. A mistake or two and some luck cost them. They controlled the game for the most part.

My god fans are insufferable

Last year leafs had a better record against Boston, but that didn't matter. This year that's all they talk about.

People pointing out 0-3 against elite teams yet they weren't outclassed in the least in those games and played well in them. They're a bounce here or there, a post away from being 3-0 In those games yet some people think it's evidence that they can't win.

So much wrong with this.
Can't say I'm surprised.

Someone on Twitter this morning:

Why is there so much skill on the 4th line?


Like its a bad thing.

People saying leafs got out worked last night. it's astounding how many comments from buffoons who don't watch.

Yesterday @ 10:24 PM ET

I absolutely despise the Bruins so we're on the same page.

Everyone hates the Bruins. I wonder if their fans have a hard time picking who to hate back. :lol.

Cmon. That’s an easy one

Montreal.

We here in Boston think you Leafers are so cute.
No Hate back here. I’ve always said. Best Jerseys in the game,
But. No hate, you have to actually beat us first. Or at least once for f*$k sakes

Let’s see. Pens Next.
Any Canucks fans are just pathetic. Nothing else to say

See you guys in the 1st round.

How do the Toronto Maple Leafs get past Boston, Tampa, or Washington? I just can’t see it happening. As crazy as it sounds, if the Leafs are serious about winning the Cup they may need to blow up this team and start over... 💥#LeafsForever⁠ ⁠ #LeafsNation

Tampa is big enough, built for playoffs: 6'1" 196lbs avg

Toronto too small for the playoffs: 6'1" 200lbs

Well, that's how not to do it.
The Leafs and Bruins are very similarly skilled teams. Leafs are faster, Bruins are more physical.
Either team could beat the other in a series.
Washington and Tampa are a different animal altogether.

no, but really I can't wait for Matthews to return and Nylander to sign so we can see the real Leafs
