Ok let's go. By this time tomorrow, I want a 3-1 series lead. Playoff series are all about adjustments. The Leafs made some tweaks and finally showed some pushback. Now it's on the Bruins to counteract what they saw in game 3. I've been saying it since the end of last game but I'd like to see the Bruins set up in front of Anderson again. They did it with ease in the first 2 games but the Leafs did better job denying the Bruins the ability to get in front of the net in game 3. Nash61 and Backes need to be tenacious in front. I'm confident that the other big guns will bounce back, have a good game, and cash in on some easy chances they missed in game 3. I'm looking at Krejci to bounce back, have a good game, and provide some secondary offence. Also, it looks like Gryz will be back. He has grown so much from the beginning of the year. Nice to see he wasn't out for long.

LET'S GO BRUINS

What I'm seeing from teams that are behind in their series that played tonight are a lot poor quality shots it's almost like they're aiming for the goalie's chest . It must be playoff pressure getting to them.

Winning isn't everything. IT'S THE ONLY THING! LOSING IS UNACCEPTABLE

4 nights for me in Toronto and I just wanna come home and I certainly do not want to come back here for a Game 6.

There is a lot of TV money at stake on both sides of the border. Rogers who controls the Canadian contract lives or dies with the Maple Leafs as far as viewers are concerned as Winnipeg has little national appeal. NBC is betting big on Boston as the Bruins get the prime time slot for the second Saturday night in a row and they want Boston to advance badly.

Tickets for tonight are pricey.

StubHub!

It has been 14 years since the Leafs last won a first-round matchup and this city IS the 'Centre of the Hockey Universe'. However, I can also say that the Raptors resonate very well in the city as do the Blue Jays and the MLS team. I went to Jays games the past 2 days and saw them sweep Kansas City but they drew an impressive 28,000 for a 4 PM start on Wednesday.

When you talk to the locals there is a hatred of Boston based teams - Celtics/Raptors, Jays/Red Sox and Patriots/Bills which is the defacto NFL team of Toronto. The MLS team Toronto FC is far more popular than the Revolution.



BUT it is 2013 that makes their blood boil and I have had several Leafs fans say they will never forget Jack Edwards



On a personal note I have seen Toronto triple in size from where it was in the late 60's. @Dom - OHL better than anyone knows what I mean. Montréal is where the money was and TO was a backwater and then Montréal 'won' the Olympics for 1976 and put the city and province on the brink of financial disaster. Citizens of Quebec voted in new leaders who in turn tried to eliminate the English language ( BTW this is not political - it is history ) The Montréal money and anglophones just headed west on the 401 and Toronto became Canada's largest city.

Today Toronto is a combination Manhattan and Chicago - but it lacks a soul that you see in Montréal, Winnipeg, Calgary or Edmonton but the Leafs represent the soul of Toronto past.

Tonight is a game the Bruins need to win.



I ask my respected colleague @Killion to chime in

We here in the Hub of Hockey treat GDT's as being important and @Alicat and myself have never mailed one in.

I give you what the Toronto board has gone with for Game 4

A borderline petulant response on their part, but I did snicker at "Nash 1" and "Nash 2".

 

[smithformeragent]

Leaving for Orlando in the morning. It would be nice to take care of business tonight and wrap things up Saturday.

 

[LouJersey]

The other big time playoff teams are all heading home up 3-1. That's generally how teams that are for real take care of business. Our turn.

I actually thought it was pretty funny

 

[Beantown1616]

Fenway, beers on me next time you're at the Loose Moose but the Bills aren't the de facto NFL team here (we don't want them, they don't want SkyDome, etc.).

Go B's!

 

[GoBs]

I have been waiting on the Officials for nights game. My hope is it is not Steve Rooney his ratings are not good for visiting teams. I have also noticed Rooney has not done a game in a few days so he is due.

[Ladyfan]

I am nervous.

I WANT HANDSHAKES ON THE ICE SAT PLEASE !!!!

B's 4-2

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[ODAAT]

B`s 3-2, that`s all I got

 

[Mistah Ungah]

B`s 3-2, that`s all I got

I'll take that, no problem. Any final score with the Bruins one or more goals up is just fine.

I know my blood pressure will rocket up during the game no matter what! Ahhhh, playoff hockey....

working tonight, no TV at restaurant I manage and no real hockey fans working to update me and I`m leaving the cell at home so gonna watch when I get in. I have an enormously positive record in games I have not been able to watch live but rather have to watch on the old Betamax

Oh wow. I was kidding. I figured after the fiasco last time, they would up their game. Guess not.
Well, at least it’s original.
Guess they just don’t care.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Bruins win Leafs lose. Simple.

 

[TCL40]

Game Day!

I’m nervous but I also think our team is better and can do this.

Hopefully Cassidy has figured out a way to shut down the stretch pass.

The key is finishing on their shots. So many missed shots in Monday.

 

[Berge56]

We got this boys! Come home 3-1 and close it out Saturday. Bergeron line is going to be on fire again.
