I would love for the Leafs to win, but the defence and goaltending is a weakness.

The Bruins will take advantage and can see them beating the Leafs in 5 games. This is a veteran team that has a lot to prove from last year.

Much respect to the Bruins for this series. In 1978 they even trolled Harold Ballard when he bought the CFL Hamilton Tiger-Cats and put their logo on center ice for Leafs games.

Bad look for the Leafs if Nylander was hurt last game and they played him. Or he got injured because he played in a meaningless game just to get Matthews 70 goals.

Pretty bad look

Nylander likely would have played regardless of Matthews' 70. I also don't see it as much of a difference maker for the outcome of this series.

How would it not make a difference on this series? It basically gets rid of the one clear advantage the Leafs have over the Bruins. It's like saying a Hampus Lindholm injury wouldn't be a difference maker.

I have a PC and AVR hooked up to my TV, so I’ll stream the video from the Apple TV and the audio from the PC.

I’m so glad I found this, I’ve wanted to listen to Bowen call the games in sync for so long

It was something he woke up with on Thursday. Didn’t appear to be any incident.

Leafs also didn’t really have any extra players as Domi, McMann, Jarnkrok were all out injured.

Nylander was 2 away from 100. I don’t think he played just to try to get Matthews to 70.
