And this is what I don't understand.

Here's an honest question. Why are some people so against adding some toughness to this lineup? I'm not talking Orr, Clune or John Scott. Talking players who can play a regular shift as well. Why are some people so apprehensive of adding that to an already skilled lineup?

Ferland in the off-season.

Freddie getting hung out to dry so far.

You forget the names being tossed out like that meathead knuckle dragging mouth breather Gudas. There is the problem. It is getting not a penalty taking moron and from where at what cost?!

I don't think anyone is. It's just it's usually a poopty player people want. They overvalue most players because of it

Freddy!!!😍

Is anyone? People are against taking away skill in order to add toughness. Noone that I know of has a problem with keeping the same amount of skill, while also adding toughness, thus why most were pleased with getting Muzzin.

Ferland in the off-season.

Thiicc Nick ...

7-0 without Freddie 👍🍺

Because they’re idiots. See CBJ/TBL series. Toronto needs a Simmonds, Anderson, or Jenner type.

Freddy!!!😍
- Roadrunner75

He is awesome

Refs are crap.

Least here we get a chance. Thanks Chara. Now time for them to get their 💩 together and score one for Freddy

Leafs win this one in 2OT

Sweet. A call the refs can't easily ignore.

They'll find a cheap call to use to penalize the Leafs shortly after this pp though.

This. Who wouldn't want a tough, good player.

Ferland, Anderson is good, guy like DeBrusk even

Holy bouncing pucks. If they could only settle it down.

They've been physical enough for the most part they just need to convert.

Andersen has been great. Wicked hit by Muffin

Puck is bouncing all over the place, all three Bruin goals off bad bounces. Bad puck luck.

Need a push back here.

Gotta get one here for sure ...

The ice looks pretty bad.

Or just both teams can’t handle the puck

They already did that though. Twice

Sure it will cost you. They're high in demand for a reason. It's because no other organization or fans think 'Moar Grit' when talking about someone who can handle the pressure of someone skating towards you at pace. A good 75% of people on this board just don't want to add any toughness and honestly I ain't sure why.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way saying the series is over and the Leafs should trade everybody for picks and rebuild. I just don't get why some discount anything that doesn't show up on a Corsi report

That Nylander goal was worse than Steve Smith's

Just wow....
I’ve been playing and watching hockey for over 40 years. And this is literally in the top 3 worst refereed games I have watched, ever. I get it, game get rough post season, but the rules don’t actually change man.

(frank) off refs.

Get consistent. This is ridiculous.
