They'll win Game 7 in Boston. I'm looking forward to it. I hope that little crybaby ginger bastard is at the game again.

Go Leafs Go baby woooooooooo!

that static PK reminded me of the good ol' days of the Ron Wilson teams PK.
just four guys standing in front of the goalie, moving their stick a bit 'to take away the passing lanes'. time to put JT and Matthews on the PK and give Marner a bit of rest - let him focus on his offensive game. Hyman with JT and Matthews with Brown as PK forwards.

I cannot start to explain how much of a negative factor Nylander is on this team. Literally 0 effort, and - even worse than that - it is clear he misses the hockey smarts to understand how plays will develop. The only thing he can do is twirl around the ice with the puck on his stick, just to give it awaya few seconds later - only after having made sure his fellow teammates are completely out of position.

Andersen yesterday had his worst game so far in the series - despite of some heroic stops late in the third. Time to give some more time to Moore and Ennis and play them with Matthews - Johnsson and Kapanen aren't playing their best games either these games.

It's obvious that there is a 50-50 chance for Leafs to go through to next rounds - there's really no saying in which team will make it to round 2.

Go Leafs Go!

He's an awfully expensive "distraction" to give AM the easy matchup. So, 2 players, $13Million/yr for 7 points in a playoff series? That's a sound cap strategy.

We're not really mad at him anymore....we just think he's a douche.

He must be thinking, "...damn...I could have been richer AND part of a much better team right now" #backfire

greedy willi needs to start wearing earplugs so he stops hearing the footsteps🤦‍♂️

last night his aversion to any sort of physicality was never more apparent 🤦‍♂️

should’ve traded him and garbegener for a real dman who doesn’t want to play house and a heavy forward who rises to occasions instead of shriveling up like a dead Richard in winter under a sheet of ice 🤦‍♂️

what a (frank)ing joke 🤦‍♂️

edit: nice alliteration 👍🏿

I'm pretty sure Freddy has to be there or he'd likely get fined or something i'd imagine.

Looking forward to a new coaching staff.
Pulling the goalie, 2mins, no ozone possession.
Jesus.

The jays won and raps are winning.

It's pretty unbelievable. I was at last years and will be at this one as well, so I'm pretty excited about that. There's nothing quite as great/terrible (can it be both? I think it's a bit of both) as a game 7. The terrible part being how nerve racking they are

Are AEDs allowed to be brought into the Garden?

Babcock is getting his ass handed to him by Cassidy in this series.

I wouldn't say Cassidy is doing anything special. Babcock is just being dumb as (frank) and I don't get it. He's not giving this team the best chance to win and this series could be done and over with but game 4 and 6 he made some really poor coaching decisions that may have cost them.

I agree, no way Nylander should have as many 5v5 mins as Matthews. 👍

What do you mean, he has so much intensity, look at him hard on the puck.

thats one model, another I looked at had the Bruins as a bit of a fav.

but in the fans minds and everyone else, the Bruins were big Favorites.

I am in a Pool with 57 people, and 3 people took Matthews and 2 took Marner (me being one of them) and I was the only one out of 57 to take the Leafs as a team
