It shows how much Boston relies on their top players, while we have a much more balanced approach.

Not sure it matters in a game like tonight though. Tonight it’s single elimination. None of the previous 6 games matter.

It’s whoever comes out hard

Fatigue is very much a factor though. They've played a lot more games than us in the last 2 months and now their top guys are being overplayed.

Our depth is better, which is why we can afford to do this, but I think it's something to keep in mind.

It won't be any easier tonight.

Sad but true.

Boston is the favourite in the series and playing at home with last change advantage to dictate the match-ups.

Everybody loves a good underdog story !!!

 

[Liferleafer]

Good, clean, close game with the Leafs winning.

I don’t want controversies and stories.

As long as we win...i don't care how.

 

[tom leafers]

I got my jersey on in at the office, im ready to go.

Fatigue has got to be playing a part for Boston. Skate like we can and tire them out even more.

lets go boys

And everybody should get their wish. Because ... well ... you wouldnt want to make so many people sad. That's not fair.

4 lines of 60 minutes of suicide Pond Hockey.
End to end.
The double shifting of Bergeron will kill him.

All of these articles on TSN/Sportnet talk about the Bruins and how their main goal is to shut Matthews down. Fine go ahead, continue to let Marner feast on you

I've been trying to listen to calming music at work today.

Not working..

Enjoy!

If I may add to this; I love the smell of bruins tears in the evening!

Let's not kid ourselves, the Bruins have been a very tough team on their home ice. They're a vet team that's going to be ready and coming at the Leafs hard. The Leafs need to play a 60 minute playing their own game and not getting caught in Boston's. We are the underdogs in this situation and we might need to see the Leafs team elevate themselves, maybe even to a point we haven't seen in this series yet.

The thing is, they're capable of that. They're capable of even more than what we've seen so far. This is a young team that's going to have fun and Boston should be very worried. If they underestimate us even a little, they'll be golfing in no time.

100% underdogs. I'm not overly optimistic about tonight at all and I don't think that's unfair. It's just the reality of it. It's going to take our best game of the year, as cliché as that sounds.

We've seen gritty game 7's in the past....who will be our Gary Roberts? Our Bobby Baun?Our Davey Keon? Our Doug Gilmour? Our Nic Borchevsky? Our Darryl Sittler? It's our time boys and girls.....

Matthews needs to turn into Mats Sundin and put this team on his back a little more.

Totally agree, i get he's being defended heartily....but the kid needs to get pissed off and play that way.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Just get in Marchand's face, get in Pasta face and throw them off their game.
They play the way they can and they've got this

We dont have those guys.
More of what we need is:
Hyman the WorkHorse.
Snipe from Matthews.
Breakaway from Kapanen.
Marner with some magic passes.
Plekanec with some Bergeron shutdown.
Kadri with some Bergeron shutdown (and stay out of the box).
JVR with a powerplay goal.
Marleau with an empty netter.

I'm pretty sure he's not 100% from his last injury but I think he will come out flying tonight.
Also chara is a tough match up for Matthews physical style. Need to use his speed to burn chara

time to re-grip and go Over the Top....

Lets hope they can replicate this. This gives me goosebumps. What a freaking game this was!

Bergeron isn't 100% and he's still dominating puck possession and dominating the faceoff circle.

I'm not sure if Matthews is injured or not but seems like a bit of a cop out right now. I think he's healthy enough to be able to be more engaged and get some dominating shifts. Haven't seen any of that.

It's a good day to be alive!

Mayne, Sundin had monkeys hanging from his neck and back and he still wouldn't give that puck away. He that strong and special. Matthews doensn't play the same type of game, in the corners, protecting the puck like sundin. He was real strong and special. Matthews special in different type of ways y'all heard me.
