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

[34]

Team with no offense, but good defense and great goalie vs team with great offense, no defense and less than no goaltending.

Every game might end 6-5.

Toronto has the very worst goaltending in the league. Both Woll and Samsonov are terrible. This series should be a cake walk for Boston. Sweep.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Good luck mods!

 

[HuGort]

Boston threw last 2 games. Weren't same team. Rather face Toronto than Tampa.

Toronto is a cakewalk in playoffs. Not built for playoffs. Weak in defense and netminding

 

[MoreMogilny]

There’s no ideal route here but at least this isn’t a series we’ve seen in a few years

 

[Ghost of Murph]

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.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Toronto Maple Leafs will beat the Boston Bruins in the playoffs.

I guess I am cynical but I don't see what's changed on the leafs to actually get passed the bruins. We will see.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Leafs in 4.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Bruins in 5.

 

[PromisedLand]

how many games do the bruins get awarded anyway..... wanna get my expectations in order

Bruins are much worse now.

How long before this thread has the most amount of pages?

Boston isn't as scary as they used to be. Leafs in 6.

 

[McGarnagle]

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.

 

[TimeZone]

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

Bruins take it in 7

 

[JimmyApples]

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.

 

[PromisedLand]

Hey Boston

 

[OVO16]

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.

 

[Aashir]

like it always is...bruins in 7

[A1LeafNation]

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

Ah well should be a good one.

 

[SensFactor]

Boston in 7. Leafs can't beat them.

 

[TD Charlie]

Hopefully 4

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