I mean, you’d have to think the Kadri line is their most dangerous line now. Marner has been their best player, Marleau has been solid (2G and A), and Kadri probably owes his team a stellar performance. But yes, this seems specifically intended to cause Cassidy to re-think matching the Matthews line.It will be interesting to see if Bergeron is still hard matched against Matthews with those lines. Almost like Babcock is trying to see how much he has to weaken the Matthews line before the Bruins consider a different line more dangerous and a higher priority to stop.
U should go see the Leafs fans in the thread before the series. Nice to see most of u have disappeared and the ones still here have changed their tone after seeing reality hit.A lot of sour fans of random teams here. It's sad when our direct opposition is more civil than 'neutral fans'.
Do people still think the Bruins have no chance against the Leafs because the Bruins are too slow, have no depth, defense and goalies are about equal, they lost the regular season series, and they'll skate circles around Chara
Gonna go out on a limb and say the Leafs season ends tonight.
Bruins have out classed the Leafs in every aspect outside of being terrible. Bruins are severely under rated as a legit Cup Contender and this cake walk of a series fully established them, imo.
As for the Leafs, they got pansted, plain and simple. For all their unmatched depth, they crumbled against proven playoff warriors and a hungry team. That falls on coaching. Babs true talent came out when he didn't have a defenseman like Lidstrom on the back end coaching for him. Leafs look lost.
Disappointed
Can I play this game too! Do people still think Marner is the next Yakupv?Do people still think the Bruins have no chance against the Leafs because the Bruins are too slow, have no depth, defense and goalies are about equal, they lost the regular season series, and they'll skate circles around Chara or are opinions starting to change?

I think most people now assume Bruins are moving on, problem is this series was lost by Toronto, results are what you’d want them to be as a Bruins fan, but I wouldn’t be too confident considering the opposition gifted it to you.
This is great.......

I think you mean the next GagnerCan I play this game too! Do people still think Marner is the next Yakupv?
They don’t deserve credit for it being this easy. The leafs haven’t shown up for the series thus far.Lol. Leaf fan hot takes and narratives continue to be the worse. Heard it here folks, Bruins don't deserve credit for this win, Toronto beat themselves obviously!

This was supposed to be all out war. If Boston won that all out war late in game 7, we’d probably say kudos. Just as you all would probably say it to us.
If Boston just didn’t show up for the series, I’m 100% certain you all would be pointing that out as well.

Did you ever think that maybe the Bruins are just better and that's why it looks like Toronto hasn't "shown up"?
Didn’t pretty much everybody other than leafs and bruins fans think this would be the closest series of the first round? Most evenly matched teams? Wasn’t pretty much everybody saying that?It's only supposed to be an all out war by Leaf fans who overrated their team to think they are on equal footing to a better team in the Bruins. Many predicted that the better team would just be better. Which is playing out exactly like that in this series.
Bruins are the better team. I said it before this series started. There's nothing surprising about their ability to shut down the Leafs overrated stars and theirs nothing surprising about one of the leagues best lines (Marchands) running circles around the Leafs "defence"

Nobody thought that Nylander and Matthews literally wouldn’t show up. Nobody thought Andersen’s save percentage would drop by almost .050
Boston I’m showed up for the series. Leafs didn’t. Kudos to Boston for showing up. Shouldn’t you just be happy that it was your team that showed up?
The leafs victim mentality is strong as ever.
A Truly National Holiday! The rest of Canada rejoices for the coming of Leafs Elimination Day!
I saw all these guys play every game of their 105 point season. The players I saw for 82 games this season haven’t shown up yet.Did you ever think that maybe the Bruins are just better and that's why it looks like Toronto hasn't "shown up"?
I’m glad the Leafs playing terrible brings more joy to other fans than their own teams success or lack thereof.
All these fan insults are ok and not considered trolling. Posters are not at all trying to get a reaction out of Leafs’ fans and these posts are all relevant to the series.
Good thing HF has such an unbias system to regulate posts, which allows for all the quality discussion.
But no! I just feel this way because of “The Leafs victim mentality”. Boy how could I be so stupid to not realize people do not wish poorly upon Leafs and their fans, it is simply a mentality.
I must be seeing things again, this post doesn’t follow the HF agenda. It is simply a Leafs victim mentality causing me to see this.
