ECQF: Game 6 - Toronto Maple Leafs Vs Boston Bruins, 8 p.m. ET, TBS

[Score08]

Tavares needs to wear a bloody sock for game 6.
[/QUOTe

That was funny

 

[Summer Rose]

Why does it have to be bloody?

It's a Curt Schilling reference.

 

[Kerberos]

Come on Bs, put them out of their misery. Let's see if that quiet arena can get even quieter tonight.

Toronto isn't that good and one of the weaker playoff teams so I know it's tempting to play with your food but getting a little bit of rest for Florida is probably the smarter move here.

I think without Matthews makes the leafs more dangerous because they freed up Domi and you never know what he might do. The scrappy Leafs with Woll are more fun to watch in my opinion.

 

[Just Rude]

BTW.....anyone know what is the record for numer of conseutive play off losses at home?

Nope, but I do know the first team in NHL history to finish in 32nd place.

 

[Barnum]

Who is Stamps on the Bolts?

I've heard of Stammer. No Stamps.

Pedantic much?

You're usually rational, what happened? Too much energy before the game?

 

[hockey20000]

brian hayes not going it means the leafs are winning lol

 

[Nostradumbass]

Just to clarify, the same Edmonton Oilers who were gifted FOUR #1 overall, a #3 and a #7 in six years and have won exactly the same number of third round games as the Leafs over an even longer time period?

Those Oilers?

Edmonton fans talking shit. You can't make this stuff up.

Leafs fans talking about the 3rd round is like me talking about Med School.
Neither of us have been, but we all know someone else who has.

What’s a Curt Schilling

 

[BB79]

The leafs haters are honestly more annoying than the leafs fans

Unless you’re a fan of one of the 6-7 teams that have recently won, your team sucks too. The trolling is so annoying

Then don't come in the GDT here, go to your specific team board for the GDT. You have to have thicker skin to come around here where fanbases clash

 

[Summer Rose]

What’s a Curt Schilling

A retired pitcher, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, who pitched a postseason game with a bloody sock.

 

[AvroArrow]

Not pandering or playing into the yearly bullshit Leaf excuse machine. This time of year every team deals with adversity, injuries, bad calls, or what have you. Some Leaf fans in these playoff threads are just filled with excuses why the Leafs are down in the series. Now you want me to agree to an excuse of Mathews being ill as why the Leafs are losing.

So, I'll leave you with this instead, the Bruins are the better team and it's time for you to give credit where credit is due instead of bellyaching.

AKA my post was full of shit and I'm scared to just be straight forward

Cheers to a good game

Neither guy was a top 3 player on their respective team lmao and they all had replacements for each guy. They weren't even top 4 on their teams actually.

Comparing those guys to prime Matthews is a joke lmao, it would be like

Avs playing without Makar
Pens playing without Crosby
Bolts playing without Kucherov

Letang was what, maybe the 5th best player ? Sid, Geno, Kessel, Guentzel

Avs had Mackinnon, Makar, Kadri, Toews, Landeskog was the 5th best (Kadri was significantly better that year)

Stamkos was a complete non-factor for Tampa. Kucherov, Vasi, Hedman, Point were the top 4 players

Missing your #1 superstar vs missing your 5th best player are not the same thing

you do understand positions in hockey correct? and Letang was their #1 defenseman...you also skipped over the point about Peter Forsberg. very comparable to Matthews in terms of value to his team you know being a top center...

 

[AvroArrow]

I mentioned Forsberg.....Stamps .....Letang.
You proceeded to shit on all three..

Please tell me where I shit on Forsberg or even mentioned Forsberg, I'll wait.

You made a shitty reference of teams losing their 5th best player and tried to compare that to Matthews not playing and got called out for it.

Now the strawman Forsberg argument lol

 

[Dog]

As much as I loved Forsberg he was still not Sakic. At times yes he was better but Sakic was their main guy for majority of the time. Leafs don't have 2nd equivalent to Sakic they got Tavares which is big downgrade but Tavares still can surprise you at times.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

how is someone going to argue Letang was their 5th best player? when he's the best defenseman.

 

[AvroArrow]

you do understand positions in hockey correct? and Letang was their #1 defenseman...you also skipped over the point about Peter Forsberg. very comparable to Matthews in terms of value to his team you know being a top center...

You mean the pre-salary cap era where teams were completely stacked with multiple hall of famers like those old Avs/Wings teams ?

Morgan Rielly is our 1D, should I start comparing losing him to losing McDavid "BUT HES OUR 1D, you don't understand POSITIONS?"

Give it a break, it was a shitty take and you guys got called out for it. Lmao no more for you guys, have a good day.

Nope, but I do know the first team in NHL history to finish in 32nd place.

And I know a team that hasn't won a thing since before most of us were born. What a weird hot take from a Leaf fan trying to bust on Canadiens over franchise successful

AKA my post was full of shit and I'm scared to just be straight forward

Cheers to a good game

All good dude, I'm not being very serious. Just clowning around waiting for the clock to tick down.

 

[Strangle]

If McDavid was out Hyman Draisaitl NUGE and Kane and Bouchard would pick up the slack , It's called depth.

I hope we get to test that theory

Wouldn't have it any other way, what's the point in being a fan and on a site like this if we're not going to talk shit. I do this every year lmao I know what people think of me.

It's a give and take thing. Kinda like King Kong Bundy. It's all for show, my man, it's all for show.

Good luck tonight. I don't really mean it, but trying to sound objective.

We kind of did, and it’s was something like a 2-9-1 record
