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

[YukonCornelius]

The Bruins play awful a lot - not the Leafs fault. Bad teams usually play awful.

Then what does that say about the Leafs when the Bruins swept the season series and finished ahead in the standings?

The Bruins always show up in the regular season. Didn't they set an NHL record for points last season before losing in the first round?

Or… the Leafs could just not hack him in the ankle during a scrum.

Lol please. That's a massive f***ing dive.

Bruins have done far worse against Toronto and at worst it's always been matching minors for them.

Thank god their PP was trash to end the game. I was certain they would score.

 

[BayStBullies]

And just like that we have a series....most Leaf fans were already to jump off a cliff and all the non leaf fans were gloating that this series is over.....isn't sports wonderful in how it can so humble us....

Buddy, we don't climb to the top of the cliff anymore.

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

The Leafs lost 1 game to the Bruins at home.. without their second leading scorer. Samsonov gave you guys Game 1. Enjoy it.

What was the leafs record in the regular season? Better yet the last four playoff series. It’s so embarrassing. Can’t leaf fans be level headed and take W and not reach.. or is that just all of you guys?

Lol you really want to start talking about playoff success?

 

[Matt24]

First playoff game of Matthews career where I thought he might have a spine in him. Played like a dog all night. Took Yzerman a while to figure the playoff thing out.

You seem to want to.

Let's talk about this. The Leafs have home ice without Nylander.

 

[PromisedLand]

Marchand is absolutely PATHETIC. What an embarrassment he is. Diving like that

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Why were the Leafs taking penalties late in the game? They had the lead, go win the game. Not smart hockey.

I’ve learned leaf fans have little to cheer and celebrate. So winning a road game to tie a series is a pretty big deal.. they are now the cup favorites.

 

[Donnie740]

I absolutely LOVED the slash across the ankles with only a few seconds remaining in the game by Edmundson.

Ref had his arm up for a penalty and the Boston player was rolling around on the ice as time expired.

Perfect way to close out the game - - sorry about your luck, Bruins.

Buddy, we don't climb to the top of the cliff anymore.

A lot of you were after the last game...I went to your guys game thread....it was pathos of the worse kind.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Boston has done significantly worse in every series we've played against them, and not even gotten called for a penalty. Marchand can suck it up and be a man, or as much of a man as he can be.

Marchand is what he is. Everyone knows this. He’s not going to change.

Hacking him in the ankle is stupid and asking for a penalty. It was stupid and deserved a call.

This is one thing I hate about playoff hockey, you get guys (not necessarily you) who just want to bitch about penalties all night. Great game but they just live to complain. I don’t even know why they watch the games.

You know what you’re dealing with in Marchand. Play him accordingly. The league is not going to remove him. He’s not going to get ten minutes for diving. This is playoff hockey. It’s nothing new. Claude Lemieux, Brad Marchand… welcome to the NHL.

If you slash him he’s going to bring it to a ref’s attention. Dont do it! Play smarter.

You’re the biggest troll. It’s rather embarrassing to try and talk smack to a team that owns you in every way. Enjoy the cup

They own us in every way except this last game, which they lost while the Leafs were playing shorthanded.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Genuine question though, what is up with the USA chants ? Their captain is Canadian, their star player is Czech ?

The average person is really dumb. That explains it.

I think they just really like Matthews.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

And?

Honestly I don't know why teams don't do this more.

Literally just start tackling people with 5 seconds left. Who cares if you get a penalty

Hahahahahha keep that head held high my guy. WOW you know you have nothing to counter facts when you can say this last game. We blew you out game one and you guys won a one goal game. Good troll… I mean terrible I’ll be coming back for more after the next few games. Peace

Congrats, Leafs fans. You finally beat the Bruins for the first time in a year and a half.

Huzzah. The day is yours.

See you Wednesday.

It was dumb by Bertuzzi. The Leafs need to "toughen up" is about not backing down. You're not actually ever going to *get* to Marchand the way he gets to others, that's why he's such a good rat. All you're going to do on a play like that is get baited, and have Marchand draw a penalty. There's no upside and the downside was obvious (and happened).

Series is 1-1 boss or did you think you got a head start in the series for regular season wins?
