- kaptaan

What, they finally showed up?
Is this there 4th sell out of the year

rather play cumbus or tampa?

they gotta go 4-1 now with 3 games being on the road so it's definitely going to be hard. if the BJs are even slightly overconfident in game 3 tampa will nuke 'em and then it's a whole different series

Thats what we heard about game 2.
Didnt happen

Lets beat boston first.
Who cares who we play in the 2nd round.
I said i wanted cbus to make the playoffs....and this is why.

Tampa kind of got screwed with that matchup. That's no fringe playoff team. They added a lot at the deadline. They would be top 3 in a full season

get ready to be disappointed. He will not get anything, except maybe a 5000 fine.

Doesn't really matter - mission accomplished by Tortorella. Goon and get under the skin of every skill player on Tampa. Point in a fight, Kucherov losing his sh!t. Its not going to get any better, Bobrovsky playing well and Tampa running around - bad combo for Tampa. Collars are going to start to tighten in Tampa

That comeback at the end of the 1st by SJ though.. holy jumpins lol

No Kidding. Boston will be better in game two. Hard to imagine much better from the Leafs. Nylander played his best game of the year for sure, that Kadri pass was a beauty. For me, Leafs have skill and speed over Boston, hit hard - ok, but forget the stupid retaliation. Kadri could have easily got a penalty when he decked that dirty little pr!ck Debrusk. Everyone knows it was payback for the cheapshot on Nylander. Game two plan - use your speed and skill, stay out of the gutter and take advantage of that slow sasquatch on defense for the Bruins.

Imagine if Tampa chokes on the BJs

The Leafs need to keep remembering how the Habs did it when they looked good against Boston.

They always gave Boston fits because they would not get sucked into a physical game. They ignored all the cheap shots and skated them into the ice.

Tampa is making the grave mistake of trying to prove how tough they are and stand toe to toe with Columbus and playing CBJ's game.

Agree completely, much as my stupid male ego loves it when Kadri unloads on someone. The sensible thing to do is hit hard if possible and don't get involved in retaliation. Backes in the lineup tomorrow and will most certainly will be trying to stir sh!t. Leafs can skate circles around the Bruins, the 3 or 4 clear breakaways were shocking for a playoff game.

Damn near had the lead unless they count it

yeah i know. tampa's talent hasn't gone anywhere though. i still beleaf!!

Ouuuuu

Kucherov just Kadri’d someone

He gets 3 games here. He should.

The league has no excuse here. It looks really bad on them if he doesn’t get at least 2 for that.

Lol at Hedman
- Santo_44

Kucherov hit 2 guys directly in the head in last years playoffs and he got nothing for them. I can see the league ignoring it again because they are a joke.

He has a hearing at 10:30 tomorrow. Personally I still think Kadri was suspended 1 game too many last year. If they gave Kucherov 2, I wouldn't feel that there was a double standard being applied. If they give him less than 2, I'd feel like we were slighted by the league.

I expect to feel slighted.

Santo, can you please send me your lottery numbers?

I would but I’ve already won the lottery 7 times. They’ve banned be from buying tickets.

Which team has the fewest PP opportunities in the playoffs again this year?



Great first round this far. Tampa on their way out. Winterpeg in their way out. Nashville can (frank) off as well.

Leafs vs Islanders ECF.

That would be awesome. I think it’ll be WSH out of that bracket though.

I have Leafs beating the BJs and facing the Caps. Then SJ/NSH in the other bracket.

Your Jackets in 5 is looking pretty sweet man

I just felt this was a matchup where it was primed for an upset.

I’ll take the bragging rights

I know the series isn’t over but how the hell can you take TB at this point. They’ve looked awful and Kuch will be out.

So i guess the Sabres turned down Mclellan

I enjoy the hockey stylings of Mitch Marner.
