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

[Byron Bitz]

Who on either team is injured? Mcmann? Jarnkrok?

 

[PROUD PAPA]

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.

If the Leafs win it could have a lot to do with what’s changed on the Bruins.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Leafs in 6, sets up a round 2 v. Lightning again, need to see that.
Leafs could get bodied hard though, yikes series.

Brazeau, Forbort, and maybe Carlo for Boston

 

[Kerberos]

Bs in 6.

Matthews and Marner continue their career playoff ghosting performances and once again wilt when the pressure is ramped up.

 

[AcerComputer]

I could see blowing the whistle if he had a bone sticking out of him - Jack Edwards

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I have zero hope the Leafs win this. No goalie is a big deal. At least I'm pre-disappointed this time. Should be relatively painless.

 

[Ivo]

I could see either win it, but in the end it won’t matter much. It will likely be the only series they win this year.

 

[McJC]

I just don't see the Bruins losing in Round 1 two years in a row. Could go either way though

 

[Headshot77]

I'm here for Steve Dangle trauma.

Leafs in 7.

Did you miss the last two years?

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

All comes down to whether the Leafs consistently eff with Pasternak.
And a badly timed line change or two from the rat couldn't hurt.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Matt Murray time.

 

[Kcb12345]

I think Toronto in 7. Could go either way though. Either way I'm guessing 7 games

 

[Devonator]

Obviously a terrible match up for the Leafs though I think Florida would have been worse so I guess that is a positive....Bruins in 6.

 

[BTP]

Who on either team is injured? Mcmann? Jarnkrok?

Right now for the Leafs its Domi, Jarncrok and McMann

 

[Leaf Fans]

The Leafs have won 4 Stanley Cups since they last beat Boston in the playoffs.

What makes this a terrible match up? I think it’s a fantastic matchup and leafs will win in 5

The Leafs have poor goaltending and aren't very physical. Unless the Bruins choke hard on applesauce, this is a pretty good matchup for them, and I like their chances going into round 2 against the mangled corpse of whichever team survives the BoF.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I guess Matthews getting 70 is the Leafs Stanley Cup this year

That is a poor guess. The Leafs are compeating for the same Stanley Cup as every other playoff team.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I feel like this is the year the Leafs have to beat Boston.

But then I remember those games they played over a month ago and I expected them to do much better, instead it was just clean 4-1 losses.

I don't know. Heart says Leafs, gut says the Bruins.

Super interested to see what both teams can do to be honest. Two teams I'm not really sure how to rank in the post-season this year.

Should be a fun one.

 

[TheOne]

Powerplays will be 3:1 Boston

Have the Leafs tried not committing 3 times as many infractions?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

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

it already has..

 

[Rude Dog]

Let’s not forget Boston was sitting at home watching the Leafs play round 2 last year. Tough series. Leaf take it

 

[BTP]

Its very weird seeing so many posters in the Bruins board with a lack of confidence. You guys are 6-0 against us in the past 6 games lol. Are those concerns in your "Series Talk" thread fake news?
