ECQF: Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs (Series Tied 3-3)

[mclaren55]

Leafs fan voting Boston in 6. I'm doing this as a reverse jinx.

 

[Peasy]

Bostons PP is atrocious

Leafs in three

Leafs pk is atrocious, Bruins in 3

Seems like a lot of fans from both teams arent very confident in their squads

 

[KingsHockey24]

Rent free

I'm a Kings fan?

 

[jgatie]

It seems like these two play every year. I’m going with Bruins in this one.

They haven't played against each other in half a decade.

I'm a Kings fan?

Are you questioning that decision?

 

[Chaos2k7]

May surprise some, but I chose Leafs in 7, it will be up to the core 4, just as it always is.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Most obvious outcome here. Bruins in 7

if were lucky. how far leafs go depends on goaltending. they could very well lose in 4

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

The Core 4 is locked and loaded and are about to reek havoc, look out Boston.

 

[All Mod Cons]

The refs are going to be a massive problem in this series.

I got Boston in 5. Toronto's defence and goaltending are a huge question mark. Both Samsonov and Woll have been crapping the bed as of late and Lyubushkin is playing with Rielly. Don't think I've seen a full 60mins from Toronto all year. Don't see that changing anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong but thats what I seen.

Boston won the season series 4-0 and were able to shutdown the Leafs offense to just 7 goals in 4 games. If this continues then it will be a short series.

There are countless examples of a regular season series win meaning jack shit come playoff time. Hell I am pretty sure in some of the previous loses to the Bruins we owned the regular season series. Didn’t seem to help us win the series lol.

 

[Torontonian]

Toronto was 3-0-1 against the Panthers last years and got dismantled by them in round 2. Regular season to me anyways plays very little into the series.

Anyways, happy this is a series. The Atlantic division has two good rival series to look forward too.

This one is a coinflip that I can easily see going to 7 games.

Game 1 is going to be very interesting and telling. Gotta see how the Leafs goaltending holds up.

Boston in 5

I always think of 2001 with the Leafs and Senators when I hear stuff like this. Ottawa went 5-0 against Toronto that year and owned them. In the playoffs the Leafs swept ottawa 4-0 and the Sens only scored 3 goals in 4 games. You just never know.....

 

[Connor McConnor]

Honestly think this was the best option for the Leafs. I like them in 6.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Other than coaching defense goaltending special teams and our stars MO of imploding under pressure I like our chances.

 

[Blowfish]

Hip had it right...Ahead by a century. Gotta love the Bruin sweater jersey.

 

[Sheppy]

Like I said in the Bruins forum. I put $200 on the Leafs.

Leafs win, I'm pissed but win money.

Bruins win? Awesome, f*** my $200

 

[Goom 35]

There’s no question the Leafs goaltending is trash.

The real question is how the Bruins goalies play, which has been uneven in the last few post seasons. If they perform even close to how they do in the regular season, the Leafs have absolutely no chance.

All the pressure is on Toronto’s core four, and they will fold…again.

Bruins in 6.

This is pretty much it right here. If bruins get half way decent goaltending it should be an easy win.

If Ullmark continues his sub .900 SV% for a third straight year then it gets dicey

 

[ijuka]

I hope Leafs win because Bruins' tanking to face Leafs instead of Tampa was pretty disgusting.

 

[HanSolo]

Boston in 7 after Toronto has a 3-2 series lead and a game 7 3-0 lead.
