Button would still call Carey Price one of the best goalies in the league. His opinion means less than nothing.

That's not what happens usually but sure, go off.
Some Leafers will watch a Leaf set off a scrum with a slash and then complain the refs are biased because the leafs got the extra 2.

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
I think there is a ton of pressure on Boston as well. They are favored, they have home ice advantage, and they are looking to atone for last year's first round collapse.

I like that this thread is already teetering on the edge of nastiness and pot shots.
I think once the games actually start this could be an all time high for people losing their shit. Big infraction season I believe.
Of course I could be wrong, Maybe Leafs and their fans just don't show?
Pat Maroon talking about Bruins putting on their work boots and doing hard work together.
Meanwhile, at end of RS game #82, Keefe sure looked like he was saying soothing sweet things to a very mopey Matthews after he fell short of 70. Maybe Leafs have already done the most important part of their season? Again.

Matthews didn't really seem mopey at all in the post-game. You want nastiness and this is the best you can do? Saying that Keefe was whispering in Matthews ear? lol.

Count down ...
A big question mark coming into the series should be ... Is Bert playing for Toronto or Boston this series?

Wasn't trying to be nasty. Just thought it was a sweet gesture for Keefe to console AM and wanted to recognize him for it. Lovely in a kind of tender way, really.

Curious to see if the Leafs get Tyler Bertuzzi from last playoffs as a Bruin, where he was their best player and he put up 10pts in 7 games.
If they do, he has to be on the top line with Matthews and Marner to elevate them.

I sit right next to the Bruins bench. We see and hear all kinds of stuff. We see who the trainers are taping up and watching over.

Brad is a very good captain. He is also one of the toughest guys on the team. He isn't tall but pretty strong.
You are just jealous he isn't on your team.

Maybe for some guys in the organization who don't have a lot of years left.
But generally, as a fan, this was supposed to be a transition year. Anything good come playoff time is gravy.
I thought the Bruins were the underdog?
Leafs have a big advantage with forwards.

That is what I hope for too.
I want them to get to round 2 and I will be happy.
of course...if they do I may want more.

Keefe gunna throw this series if he puts Matthews and Marner together.
He was draped over the boards on the bench with his coach reassuring him that 70 is not important after 60 minutes of the team wide effort to spoonfeed goal 70. It certainly was on Matthews' mind.
Bertuzzi was very far from the Bruins best player - what narrative is this? Lazy at best anywhere outside of the offensive zone and cost the Bruins as many goals against as goals for...

By far, it's more pressure on Toronto. Any relief from finally getting through the 1st round last season got wiped out when they got wiped out by Florida in a series that Toronto was expected to win, was expecting to win.
Everything in the offseason, all the roster moves whether done or not done, all the talk all season long, has pointed toward right now. The roster is complete, pretty much everyone is expected to play, the team even doubled down on the current roster with the Nylander extension, ... there's no excuses at this point. A series loss here probably means the end of Sheldon Keefe behind the bench, and it casts a searing spotlight on Brendan Shanahan who's the architect of all of this.

The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
Fun fact:The leafs all-time playoff point leader is (still) Doug Gilmour and he was only there for 4 years.
Matthews has been with leafs much longer and has a knack of disappearing especially if things get rough.
When things got rough...Killer thrived.

Especially embarrassing about this sequence is Bertuzzi declined multiple challenges prior and was only willing to fight.... Wotherspoon. Not quite the celebration one might think.
