Toronto Maple Leafs Board presents

Marty and Doc watch the playoff game. Marty is confused about Senators and Playoffs used in the same sentence that has the word "Again"

Marty can't get over what Doc said

And just like that...

Marty arrives at Lou's cafe back in the day and notices some douche behavior and is absolutely stumped to look at the uncanny resemblance of Biff and his minions

Marty channel's his inner Domi after having watched Max just the night before

Goes to watch the games and series and is astonished by the series WIN


Marty comes back to his time and re-watches the highlights with doc reminiscing of the ass kicking by the Leafs in the past and the present


Marty then along with Doc have some amazing nostalgia together

GET HYPED! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good work on the GDT. One suggestion: I'd strongly recommend double-checking the settings on the flux capacitor if the Leafs are time-traveling back to previous playoffs.

Back to the Future:

A story of an irresponsible young man who is so unhappy with his life, he steals an old man's science experiment, uses it to go back in time to see his father get smacked around, almost becomes his own Grandpa, hijacks a school dance to blatantly rip off someone else's work, and gets a younger version of the same old man who's car he's stolen electrocuted, only to butterfly effect his way to the titular back to the future, to be told his kids (who he probably never would have had if he hadn't gone messing around with the time line) are terrorizing the future!

And you think he's the hero of this story?!

So after correctly predicting a 6-2 Leafs win in game 1 - I'll say they take it easy on Sens tonight. They only score 4.

4-1 Leafs.

Only 4? Ullmark must be getting the night off.

Think Ottawa has a good push back tonight. 4-2 Leafs.

That is not really the premise of Back to the Future.

 

[Leaf Fans]

It will be a tough series. I am looking forward to the game.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wonder what, if any line changes we will see for Ottawa.

Specifically will we see Hamonic in game 2 to add some experience on that bottom pair?

The bottom pairing wasn't their issue, only real change they can make is in net.

I don't think they played that bad, just terrible goaltending and undisciplined.

 

[Seb]

Brady better wake up or else the Leafs will easily win once again

Yep, need to get key saves and fewer penalties. Ottawa was the better team for big stretches of game 1, but Toronto got the key saves when they needed to and capitalized on the power plays.

 

[Strangle]

Fantastic game day thread

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Should be forced to play 5 on 5 60 minutes , last game was a snoozer

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Should be forced to play 5 on 5 60 minutes , last game was a snoozer

Would be down for that.

 

[Madap]

Hate to break it to the Sens fans but Brady ain’t the difference between an easy win and a close one. Brady is overrated and the rest of the team is hot garbage.

Ok

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

They need to get dirty and get to the difficult areas. A deeper dive into where and how they played the game makes it less flattering.

 

[Relapsing]

Ok

 

[Strangle]

Would be down for that.

Me too, but what would we do about all the penalties the sens would be committing? Just keep removing sens players from the game but never going down a man?

The premise doesn’t really make any sense

 

[Strangle]

I’m sure Travis green is trying to get this through his teams thick skulls as I type this

 

[Spargon]

We need to stop this mythos that Brady is some force on the ice. He is NOT his father or brother. Matthews Knies has more pts and is a better player than Brady. I'll buy him a triple espresso so he can see his team suck wide awake.

 

[Zybalto]

Should be forced to play 5 on 5 60 minutes , last game was a snoozer

Considering the Leafs gave Laughton's superstar 4th line the most minutes the 2nd half of the game after the game was pretty much over, I'm kinda interested how that would look. Sens just gotta keep their sticks down and stop hitting people in the numbers. Pretty easy stuff.

 

[NyQuil]

Before Game 1, Brady Tkachuk had played 2 periods of hockey in the month of April. He couldn't even finish the last game of the regular season.

He's playing hurt.

Ottawa has other players, which may be news to our national media.
