As a Bruins fan, I'm not sure or sold on how they're going to work their goaltenders in the playoffs. If a guy starts hot, I absolutely hate the idea of switching it up for game two.

In a sense that both fanbases will excessively whine about blown calls that affected their team, which really goes to show that it won't be a problem at all.The refs are going to be a massive problem in this series.
Honestly, I have ZERO idea.Who's projected to start game 1?
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
Leafs players are just excited to get to the off season so they can ask for way too much money. Because they are all "team guys''
You are underestimating the Leafs. Thinking it’s an easy win just because the bruins get good goaltending is ridiculous imo. There are so many factors. I’d bet this series goes the distance

Austin matthews has 8 points in 14 games and is a -7 in the playoffs in his career against the bruins. He’s a no show.
That was so early in Matthews career & when he had the best defensive forward in NHL history playing every shift against him.Not only because of good goaltending, but the bruins style of play in general is Toronto’s achillies heal.

They certainly have reeked against Boston in recent history.The Core 4 is locked and loaded and are about to reek havoc, look out Boston.

I don't think Bergeron is shutting him down this year...
You're being disingenuous here by lumping 2018 and 2019 together. He sucked in 2018 and had only 2 pts in 7 games, and was also playing injured, plus that was only his second year in the league. However, in 2019 he had 6 pts in 7 games, 5 of those being goals, and he led both teams in goal scoring; he was easily the Leafs best player. Only Marchand had more points in that series (4 goals, 5 assists).Austin matthews has 8 points in 14 games and is a -7 in the playoffs in his career against the bruins. He’s a no show.
Bruins were also 4-0 against the leafs this year so doesn’t look like much has changed.
Do the Bruins start with a lead in the series or something for winning the season series? Or is it irrelevant come the drop of the puck?Bruins were also 4-0 against the leafs this year so doesn’t look like much has changed.
Leafs were 4-0 against the Bruins in 2018. Fairly meaningless statBruins were also 4-0 against the leafs this year so doesn’t look like much has changed.
A 3v3 OT loss. A shootout loss. So we can throw those 2 results out in terms of relevance to playoffs.
And two 4-1 losses against Woll in his first games coming back from being injured for months. The first of the 4-1 losses the Leafs played pretty well and didn’t get any saves, the second one they were bad and outplayed.
Even still, season series isn’t usually overly telling regarding how a playoff series goes.

The reg season matchup doesnt really matterNot saying the bruins won’t lose. I’m just saying every bruins fan was hoping we would somehow end up playing the leafs. That was our ideal matchup round 1

We have dominated the leafs in the past, went 4-0 against them this year and just match up well against them.
Id say the 3 series Ls the leafs had in past 10 years will impact more so
