.Seeing the Leafs collapse in the 1st round never gets old, but I would also think it’d be hilarious to see Boston choke in the 1st round in back to back years… torn between who I’d rather see lose this series

Meh, Toronto pretty much won the series tonight. It will be comical watching Florida dismantle them in round 2 though.Toronto was the far better team tonight. They’ve really turned this series around the last 2 games. Everyone thought they were done when Matthews went down but they actually look like a better overall team so far without him. It could just be coincidence though. Switching to Woll in net has been huge, and the leafs are playing more desperate, and better defensively.
After Matthews went out, it looks like the team committed to a simple dump-chase-forecheck game, with a better effort to defend. Maybe the combo with Marner out and then still playing poorly, Nylander only breaking his spell last night...etc. Basically the whole team committed to a simple game when they realized the big four weren't going to win it for them (and yes, the big four are part of the problem but talent has bailed them and the team out at times).Toronto was the far better team tonight.

I still hate Boston with a seething passion based on the olden days, so I'm good with a Tor comeback. It's not like the Leaf fans can celebrate for more than two weeks anyway.
This has been my dream scenario up to now. For game seven I'm hoping for an 8-0 rout. Don't care who.
Better yet, quintuple overtime ending with a defenseman bouncing the puck into his own net off the goalie's head.
Sure. But Leafs fans have already processed something like that and a repeat may not have the effect I'm looking for. I think I'd prefer some fresh hell for them. You know -- something that would discourage them from making the drive to KBC for about a decade. Scoreless tie through two periods, Bruins score eight in the third to close it out. Close-ups of Mitch Mariner sobbing uncontrollably on the bench while Nylander side-eyes him. Delicious.I think the better scenario would be Toronto goes into the 3rd period up 3-0, and then proceeds to choke the game away for a 4-3 (OT) Boston victory final score. It would be a nice callback to ~10 years ago.
Nice to see Myers get to advance. I'm still a fan of his.Good, close game but definitely not the most exciting. Lacked the hatred you see in some of the other series
Without Demko I don't like their chances against McDavid and the boysNice to see Myers get to advance. I'm still a fan of his.
