Pre-Game Talk: Bruins - Leafs, Game 4

[wingman75]

Am I the only one who would prefer Gio in over Brodie?

In a low minute PK focused role, I am with you friend.

 

[FerrisRox]

Am I the only one who would prefer Gio in over Brodie?

Probably, yeah. Mark Giordano's career is over, he just doesn't know it yet.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Probably, yeah. Mark Giordano's career is over, he just doesn't know it yet.

And Brodie's isn't?

Btw, you're wrong.

 

[ACC1224]

Joe Bowen calling out the fans. I've done the same on here but I don't have the same platform he does lol.

Anyways, I know some here have defended the playoff crowd, but it is misplaced, the corporate fans are an embarrassment. Compare Leaf fans to almost ANY other cities playoff fans. Only perhaps Ottawa (when they are in) is as docile.

The truth is home ice is supposed to be about loud, rowdy encouragement and some heat on the opposition. How much of a jolt can a player get on a shift when they feel the buzz when they hit the ice?

It matters. It all matters in tough games.

Heard them chanting the Goalies name when the Leafs tied it up last game. Didn't last long, they gave up a goal 20 seconds later.

Where are your seats?

 

[Suntouchable13]

In 2021 we were up 2-1, lost
In 2022 we were up 2-1, lost
In 2023 we were up 2-1, won

So 2-1 series deficit is not a death sentence. Let's see how it goes this time.

 

[FerrisRox]

And Brodie's isn't?

Btw, you're wrong.

If Brodie is in the NHL next year, and Giordano is not, would you be surprised?

 

[mikeyz]

In a low minute PK focused role, I am with you friend.

I second that

 

[BrannigansLaw]

If Brodie is in the NHL next year, and Giordano is not, would you be surprised?

Yes. Brodie is garbage

On my overpriced couch in my overpriced home. I choose not to fork out for an overpriced ticket and I am far from alone clearly.

Ultimately, who would want to attend a game anyways and be one of the few shouting with any passion? Hell the one of the ushers might ask you to leave.

Toronto is not a sports town, this isn't anything new.

It's odd to judge the atmosphere when you're not in the building.
Do you review restaurants you've never eaten at?

Lily out ? He's been really bad, he was my biggest worry this playoffs, Boston has been abusing me.

He wasn’t even like knies who also tries to hand the abuse back, Liljegren just likes to take it silently, and because of that has become a target

 

[tom leafers]

Willie will win the game b/c his name starts with a W

Wylander?

 

[Leaffan1991]

Reeves sitting would be an absolute joke and I would expect Keefe to do that

 

[AvroArrow]

In my honest opinion, Jarnkrok should sit, I really like the 4th line and energy they bring. I don't wanna sit Dewar either.

I would be surprised if it wasn't Robertson sitting.

Are you sure, because reading this board would make you think otherwise.

Leafs definately have the higher celing if Marner finds his way and Willy returns as the Willy we love. Oh and Matthews clearing out a virus.

I agree it’s not over but Keefe is so obviously being outcoached. We got Lucky in 2023 that Vasi was battling through an eventual off season surgery and Point wasn’t 100%.

I think Toronto has enough weapons to win if they had a better coach. The special teams should be the obvious indicator they don’t know how to adjust.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Not liking this matthews situation. Even how keefe talked about it today at practice. Sounds like matthews is dealing with something and he is trying to push through it

 

[AvroArrow]

I would be surprised if it wasn't Robertson sitting.

Looks like Dewar is sitting, shocked.

 

[ACC1224]

Does your TV have speakers?

You realize that's dependant on the mics in the rink and every rink is different?

 

[DarkKnight]

Glad Lil is out, he's been awful and really Edmundson has been off setting his play. Not sure Brodie is an answer, but watching Lil just panic and throw pucks to nobody is maddening. I swear he hit a Leaf once or twice the entire Game 3, everything else was zero IQ plays. He's supposed to move the puck, if he can't, he sure isn't in there for his defensive acumen, physically he barely can hold his own. Not sure Brodie is a solid alternative either though.

 

[robertmac43]

And Brodie's isn't?

Btw, you're wrong.

Brodie will end up getting a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract from someone this off season.

Gio will not have the same opportunity.

 

[Leafsfan74]

I'm been to games in the 2000s. Not many, but enough.

I haven't been to a playoff game but it is definitely far quieter than the Bell Centre, which I have been multiple times as well.
