I'm so excited for the playoffs to finally start. This past month has been fairly boring and annoying with all the hand wringing and worrying. Possession wise and 5 on 5 the Leafs have been great down the stretch which is all you can hope for, the wins weren't there but they played fine. Now none of that matters, just win. I don't even care how, just win and finally beat those ****ing overrated Bruins!
 
Wonder what the Cock's gameplan is. Who does he put against Bergeron line when he can match. How much TOI will the 4th line get?
 
I’d imagine the Kadri line goes up against Bergeron.

babs has barely used Naz in a match up role at all this year, which makes me think he'll give Tavares the assignment. but who knows. I think it makes sense to give it to Naz, both to get him fired up, and to give one of our top two lines a softer match up against the Bs third line.
 
Well, some of babcock's moves are puzzling. I don't know nearly as much on it as you all do but just yesterday I was questioning a few of his in game moves. He still thinks old-school for sure.
 
Here's a question for you all, should the leafs lose to the Bruins again does Babcock stay? Does Dubas finally get fed up and make a change?

On the road this will mean light minutes for one of the top two lines. Cause the B's will be playing the hell out of that top line.

Think Babs will match Tavares against that line all day, every day.
 
Yup.

Though tbh we may see babs be the least line-matchy we've ever seen. Especially if Willy is on the 3rd line and gardiner-dermott is a pairing.

If they get swept and look terrible, there's a slight chance. But if they are competitive, I doubt there's a shot.
 
Leafs can totally take this series if they flip the switch; as it stands the Bruins will win the series
 
The leafs already flipped the switch. They've been playing great for a while now.

P.s. Boston is 7-7 in their last 14.
 
Even if we get demolished, Babs will be here next season.

But I don’t think we will. Don’t know that we’ll win, but I do think we’re going to show up to play.
