Both teams lucked out with this matchup. Leafs have a better chance of beating the Bruins than beating FLA. Boston certainly matches up better against the Leafs than they do against TB. I think they agree based on the way they played their final 2 games. FLA/TB and TOR/BOS make for two excellent first round series.

A big factor in the 2018 and 2019 series' was Matthews getting shut down. He's on a completely different level now as a player, which scares me.

That defense is so bad though, and Samsonov might be the worst goalie in the tournament.

And so it starts. I wanted TB just so I didn't have to listen to the most obnoxious fans in the league. Not sure how fans of a team with such little playoff success, especially against the Bruins can be so so intolerable. See ya main boards, check back in couple weeks
Toronto is the better team.

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Rielly, etc.

Boston has Pastrnak.. But Marchand isn't any better than Tavares anymore. After that, do you think Coyle and Zacha match up? I don't think so.

Toronto has the superior Roster, but Boston seem to be in their heads and have vastly superior goaltending.

Bruins take it in 7

Bruins did a good job throwing their final couple games to get an easy opponent.

Leafs stars don’t show up, Bruins beat them. We’ve seen this story so many times.

This aint the bruins of old. Bruins bottom 6 is pretty ass and their defense outside of Mcavoy is mid. Lindholm is having a garbage year. Bruins goaltending is far better and could most likely be the difference maker

This is gonna be a close series as usual.

Doesn't have the same vibe as 5 years ago.

Ah well should be a good one.

If you’re going to mention Rielly I’m not sure why you’re not mentioning McAvoy who’s twice the player Rielly is.
