Game 7's going to be a lot of fun.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Matthews will return Saturday and the Leafs will go back to playing like shit.

 

[east coast]

A lot of marginal players playing minutes for the Bruins. They really aren't very deep. This Lohrei looks like a keeper, despite being involved in the second Leaf goal.

 

[GGpX]

Toronto's defense reminds me of our defense in 2021. Not overly good, but they're big as shit and they're slamming the opponents into the boards every single chance they get.

The big Russian, Benoit, Edmundsson, McCabe. They lay into the Bawstun forwards any chance they get.

Loving this. Bruins blowing two 3-1 series lead in a row would be amazing.

Yeah maybe they should consider trading Matthews for a half dozen guys with "truculence". They seem to have more life without him.

You know a team's in trouble when they're regularly putting out Morgan Geekie and Travis Frederic at key times.

Not these playoffs. They’ve called everything.

only on the Kings

 

[CH1]

Nah.

Bawstun had four shots in the first 30 minutes. Woll did what he had to do and was solid, but Bawstun was flat as could be.

good enough for a goal if Samsonov was in net. The guy had no business starting 4 games

So now all the Leafs fans care again. Now they can really get crushed on Saturday

And Pasternak is completely invisible. Even Marchand is barely involved in the play anymore. The rest of the lineup is as think as can be.

Bruins defence beyond McAvoy and Lohrei has little mobility. Shattenkirk is an afterthought now. And Lindholm-I'm not impressed with him. Always heard he was good.

The Bruins have essentially taken games 5 and 6 off.

Marchand is probably at an age where he can't do it every night at the level he would like. When he's just normal, there isn't much up front on the Bruins to make up for him. Pastrnak on the other hand has really not been much of a factor at all in the series.

 

[wiseguy1]

Maybe the Bruins should try getting off to a faster start instead of keeping the Leafs in the game. Dumb strategy.

Not convinced they’ll be able to wake up in time. I like how the Leafs simplified their own game.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Montgomery will be gonzo if they blow it again.

Yeah, seems like Matthews and his nostrils may have been sucking all the oxygen out of their room.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Reminder: Boston doesn’t have a draft pick until round 4.

 

[Hoiles]

The one bright side is that every single Bruin accomplishment in history would instantly be voided by blowing a 3-1 lead to the Laffs, though it still wouldn't be worth it in any way.
