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

[Shane Diesel]

Let's get it done tonight, Boston. Nothing sweeter than Leaf tears.

 

[Number8]

Yeah, Matthews appeared to be looking at Nylander, not Marner, when saying whatever he said, then Nylander said quit crying....
Marner just in between them getting upset about it all(?)

Supposedly Willie was mic’ed up for that game...
Shame we’ll never hear any thing from it lol.

And then everyone slowly backed away from Sheriff Marner all nice and slow like.

When a man gets a burr in his saddle that bad, it's wise to step away - keep your hands visible - and eyes averted right respectful like.

That Mitch sure is one tough hombre when his fuse gets a sizzling like that.

 

[DS7]

Mitch better start looking into some Utah real estate if they lose tonight.

 

[Oil Town XJ]

If Matthews was hurt/sick before the playoffs why didn't they rest him the last few games? Was his chase for 70 more important then the playoff's?

 

[Uber Coca]

It’s been a few years, what are your preferred snacks for a Maple Leafs first round exit match day?

 

[nORRis8]

No one is asking that of him and for the most part, he still shrivels up come playoff time. He gets off extremely light when it comes to critiquing his subpar performances, even now.

 

[sampollock]

dress revass that helps.
domi taking dumb penalites
and O'Keefe complaining about the non calls, yet his squad had more PP

shot of good bourbon and watch the crying after the game.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Don't know if it would be an epic meltdown. Remember, we all hate the Bruins almost as much as we hate the Leafs. The memes that would come from from the Bruins blowing a 3-1 series lead in back-to-back seasons would be glorious.

Why does a Panthers fan hate the Bruins?

This offseason’s hot topic in Toronto media

I think he would be great there.
He's got the happy go lucky blank stare enthusiasm that they love over there.

He might not be wrong:

 

[myleafs]

Difference is everyone cried during the ending of Ol’ Yeller.

oh there will be crying....mixed in with anger, resentment, bitterness and ultimately sadness

Is there anyone reputable who has said he was carrying an injury or illness into the playoffs?

 

[sergejean]

Why so much time between games in this series? I much prefer the usual 1 game every 2 days format.

Will Toronto at least get respect in the hand shake line this year?

There is a lot of shade being thrown at the Leafs. People like to ignore the fact they are playing one of the best teams in Boston.

Veggie tray. Gotta keep it low cal.

Trying to lose weight and this happens too often to be an exception.

Why does a Panthers fan hate the Bruins?

Bruins were always better? South Florida is awash with Bruins fans who have moved here, which may be part of it. Some of it may stem from hatred for the NE Patriots, idk.
Many Panthers fans say they dislike them mostly because they have problems with visiting Boston fans. Apparently, they are among “the worst” houseguests.

 

[The Expert]

Come on Bruins do it tonight. Matthews out, Marner in, won't get a better chance than that.

 

[CornKicker]

oh there will be crying....mixed in with anger, resentment, bitterness and ultimately sadness

usually its just the excuses....

im hoping for a leafs win cause pushing to a game 7 would be way better for hockey

Gotta have Toronto on Saturday night

Leafs need to be available for the Saturday night time slot.

Even Bozak played with broken ribs for us in 2013 game 7 vs Boston. I recall Joe Thornton playing on 1 leg a few years ago, torn acl in one knee. Matthew Tkachuk last year.

Bobby Baun in playoffs, broken bone above his ankle/lower leg.
Erik Karlsson in 2017, multiple broken bones in ankle, then had cadaver parts inserted in off season.

The Bruins started Bergeron in the last game of the year last season and it potentially cost them. He wanted to play in his last ever game against Montreal, in Montreal. He got injured and looked BRUTAL when called upon in the first round.

Whatever happens tonight, I'm hoping for a good game.
