GDT: ECQF Game 1 | Ending Edwards | Leafs vs Bruins 8pm EST | SN, CBC, TVAS, NESN

[authentic]

I actually somehow feel better knowing Nylander is out. The Buds will be super ready to go, they always are when guys are out.

Last year we dominated Tampa game 1, blew their doors off. Hopefully happens again tonight

That was the year before. Last year Tampa beat us 7-3 the first game then we beat them 7-2 in game 2.

Have the announced the refs yet?

Yup, Colin Campbell's grandson and two cousins.

It just goes to show you that while every game is obviously important, we shouldn't read too much into the end result tonight regardless of which way it goes.

I just want to see a hard fought game from the boys in blue. Set the tone physically from puck drop and start wearing them down. This series will be a war of attrition.

 

[DopeyFish]

the hell happened to nylander noooo

 

[rumman]

Probably tweaked something doing a triple axle, similar to Marner's high ankle sprain on a double lutz.

Both definitely could find work with the Ice Capades……..

 

[IPS]

Nylander's been in pure coast mode for the last month and gets hurt for game 1 of the playoffs

You can't be f***ing serious

 

[SprDaVE]

I still can't believe our luck that Nylander is potentially injured from an off-day after playing the whole 82 games. What unbelievably bad luck. I just hope it's a mind game thing and he plays but seems rather weird to do.

 

[Gilmour1996]

He could’ve tweaked something by skating

According to this, "Chris Johnston and Darren Dreger revealed that Nylander woke up Thursday morning and felt some discomfort" :

I always wake up Thursday morning in discomfort. He'll be good to go.

 

[PromisedLand]

Domi basically called ROR a loser bitch

 

[SwissLeaf]

I will sleep soon, so that I can get up at 1:45 to watch the game. Hopefully the kids will sleep a bit longer than usual tomorrow. My wife is not at home.

I'm optimistic for tonight.

4-2!

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[Gilmour1996]

I always wake up Thursday morning in discomfort. He'll be good to go.

I try to sleep on my side instead of on my tummy so stuff doesn't get crushed. If my wife turns me over when I'm asleep, all bets are off.

 

[Leafsfan74]

The fans are going to be loud which always makes the playoffs fun. Leafs just have to be patient and counter attack, Leafs D have to punish and wear down Bruins forwards.

 

[TMLAM34]

Not too happy I’ll have this game playing on my phone while I’m at a wedding… But at least there’s an open bar if it gets outta hand if the Bruins start to run away with it… Or if the Leafs surprisingly pull out a W somehow!

Only his 2nd game out of 653-games missed due to injury too lol.

Best case scenario he's good to go, or the boys use it as extra inspiration to tighten up their game tonight

 

[PromisedLand]

Domi is effing ready to go peeps

 

[Cleetus]

Domi is effing ready to go peeps

wow thats cool he got a like from Christian Mccaffrey what a player he is!

P.S. Click at your own risk, I take no responsibility

It could be worse, Drouin is going to miss the entire first round after playing all those meaningless games.

I still don't know what to do with my arms

At least use their real name.

Incoming 3 game suspension

 

[crump]

Chills watching that.
Lfg.

I want to see playoff Rielly, SHL playoff MVP Pontus Holmberg, Edmundson the butcher, Big Boy Garden Sammy. Benoit/McCabe - Milk and cream,

Huge series for Marner. Should be rounding into health and rested, playing for playoff glory and an extension. If he can’t see Stanley Cups in his eyes, then make it dollar signs.

Don’t $&& the bed tonight.

 

[al secord]

At least use their real name.

At least you used "their " I didn't want to have to report you

I think that's what we'll do, we have mean sob's on D. However, it's all on the referees. Do we get the same treatment as B's, left alone to play playoff hockey, or is it scripted?

I really don't like to even mention this kind of thing; the very idea contaminates my happy enthusiasm for tonight, but it's looming in the back of my mind. The idea makes me sick. Damn it, I'm mentally weak. Pass the medication...
