First post in pages that wasn’t given a like by summer rose.

Oh wait… never mind.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Very effective game plan

It was a good game plan for sure, but the Bruins got depth scoring so it wasn't as affective as hoped.

 

[Bowski]

Oh, Sammy.

Нельзя спать!

 

[Leaf Fans]

Chin up, bro

The boys got this

Sure, it was game one.

Samsonov was nervous at the start. The posts and crossbar saved him 4 times in the first half of the game. This could have been a 8-1 blowout.

I said it in the first...he looked very rattled. Was not tracking the puck well.

the screens were brilliant. Chaos in front of the net. Sammy was Sammy.

No is surprised.

Makes you feel good, doesn’t it? What a lot of work that must be, but what a board legend

 

[BlueSeal]

Nylander has by far the worst goals against of all our core players in the playoffs while playing worse competiton than Matthews and Marner. He does not carry this team lol

So you’re saying you couldn’t have used him tonight?

 

[Do or Die]

"Magic" Marner. Poof.

 

[Chainshot]

If you gotta ask, it’s probably you!

Nah, I'm trying not to troll an entire fanbase even though I want too.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Though that opens the question: who is the weird uncle no one wants to talk to?

Vegas

 

[josra33]

I don't know if it has anything. Which one was the comment you responded to?

So you admit you’re just trolling then? Not actually interested in conversation?

No is surprised.

If you’re counting posts, you should count them for both teams

 

[pcruz]

Flashy perimeter teams won’t generate calls, so yeah no real revelance to goal scoring, total points and power play opportunities. score could have been 8-1 with all the iron. Domi all smiles after whistle shenanigans when down 4, dad needs to smack him across the head.

You know.....


You're allowed to admit you've never watched the team play before.

Nobody is going to hold it against you.

I mean, your opinion is as valuable as a Zimbabwe dollar at this point, but it's cute you think it matters to anyone.

It was a good game plan for sure, but the Bruins got depth scoring so it wasn't as affective as hoped.

I was being sarcastic. That's exactly why it's a terrible game plan. It takes Toronto's best scorer out of the equation and opens up the middle of the Bruins lineup to exploit the Leaf's D as we saw tonight.

I hope they don't change course as a Bruins fan I expect to see some big changes from Toronto in game 2

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

If I knew this game would end 5-1 Bruins, and I knew AMC was airing Shawshank Redemption the last three hours, I would've just watched Shawshank. It doesn't really matter that I've seen that movie several times, because I've also seen the Leafs get shit on by the Bruins in the playoffs just as many times in my life as I've seen Shawshank, so there's no difference between the two.

 

[Leaf Fans]

So you’re saying you couldn’t have used him tonight?

Absolutely imo, it may not have made a difference, but of course it would be better to have another talented player.

 

[Strangle]

Nah, I'm trying not to troll an entire fanbase even though I want too.

I honestly love it, but there are rules I have to at least respect

Sometimes I really wish there was a mostly unmonitored ‘big boys only’ forum where **almost** anything goes

 

[T REX]

well, leafs didn’t deserve to win tonight

Sammy is a question mark. Leafs stars were kept off the board (Matthews was too close I couldn’t believe that post), I f***ing love Bert.

Questions remain in net, with the stars, with the officiating and with the coach. Nothing has been settled yet.

Bruins earned that one. Can’t wait for Monday night

Great post except why mention officiating? That didn't matter one bit. You had a 4 on 3. That should be a gimmie for AM.

Just call it like it is...Boston won fair and square. Period. Blaming a 3rd party seems a little out there. Yes?

 

[Do or Die]

Sportsnet.....sad....very sad....

 

[Hank Plank]

Embarrassing effort by Toronna.

What’s weird is I was quoting a summer rose post but that part didn’t show up.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Did Toronto have... 2?

Bruins would have a massive lead halfway in the first period, but of course posts do not count. Indicates how the Bruins were close to executing from the beginning.

 

[Habby4Life]

Mariner and Matthews are great regular season guys but disappear when the games get real.

?????

Who mentioned posts? Please clarify.

 

[HolyHagelin]

I obviously do not watch the the Leafs and Matthews that much, so I’m not saying this is true.

But whenever I watch, Matthews does not stand out as a line driver.

I must have unfortunate luck when I watch.

I feel this way as well, which is why i asked elsewhere about carrying the puck
