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

[D Wakaluk]

I'd hate to interrupt the chirping but where's Pasta? It's like he has zero humour left for these series. Was he this "bad" in the Florida series? Can't really remember. Guy should be a gamechanger out there.

I fully expect Leafs going back to playing scared at home, since now they have something to lose again. Boston should treat this as an extra 'give em hell' game - they always got the home game just in case

Seven is a good number. I hear there are also some videogame series' (or at least one of them) where the number VII is significant

(Yes I’m doing a steam deck playthrough of final fantasy vii on the right now with mods and everything)

 

[Neil Racki]

I’m gonna do mine right now

If you’re from Toronto, let me see you PUT YOUR HANDS UP! (All you crazy bastards who just want to party with us when we hoist the cup too!)

Oilers power play would collapse significantly % wise without Mcdavid. Without Mcdavid and that power play, they would not get passed any of the central teams.

Oilers had a top 5 PP in 2011-13 before McDavid was in the league.

 

[Strangle]

Hey Bruins fans, this will help you when you’re crying later and wondering “what happened? Omg not again….”

I hope it helps you find some peace during a tough time

Oilers had a top 5 PP in 2011-13 before McDavid was in the league.

Oh did they?? Amazing!

How many cups did that team win?

 

[Just Rude]

Wahhh the lucky Oilers got to watch 10 years of trash hockey to take advantage of exactly what the NHL draft was designed to do Wahhhhhhhh wahhhh why aren’t the leaf’s so lucky

Sorry.....wait. You are saying the NHL draft is designed to give a team three straight #1 picks, and four in six years? Is that why they changed the rule?

Of course, you missed the point. Most franchises could build a powerhouse and have multiple Stanley Cup runs with that type of draft capital. You guys epitomize dysfunction almost as much as the Leafs.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It's called a prediction, genius.

I was talking about your Matthews take little fella. Didn't realize it needed to be literally spelled out for you but here we are. Yes Bruins fan thinks the Bruins will win. Stunned really.

 

[sampollock]

Lol the only ones living in neverland are Leaf’s fans. Where every single criticism of an Oilers players starts with “IF McDavid didn’t exist he wouldn’t score this or that”

In reality though, McDavid does exist and he’s an Edmonton Oiler. And yeh like most good players in this league they can help their wit teammates be better too.

We can play this IF game all day long. Like IF Matthews and Marner didn’t play in Toronto they might not have performance crippling anxiety in the playoffs.

#34 gets the press on SN and TSN over done too. who does not even play on the PK

They changed the rule cause of whiny fans like yourself actually. And yeh the draft and odds as decided by the CBA and NHL are meant to divy out the odds exactly as planned.

Wait are you crying about draft odds? Literally crying about math here.

Unless you are trying to say the Oilers disrespected the game by Tanking or something. But the only confirmed Tank of the last 10 years was the Leaf’s in a desperate attempt to get McDavid.

Ok, well that's even dumber. You're criticizing my take of Leafs fans who somehow think they're better with Matthews? Lmao ok! They can trade him in the off-season if that's the case then.

All I hear from these guys is ‘yip yip’ like a little doggie trying to nip at our heels

I am saying what you said isn't true lmao nobody actually thinks the Leafs are better without Matthews. It is BS you have made up in your own mind.

No, they changed the rules because any team getting multiple #1 picks over a short period would (or at least should) in most cases completely destroy competitive balance, which was the most crucial stated priority of the salary cap / lockout whatever year that was. It has literally nothing to with whiny fans.

I don't have a horse in this fight, if anything I'm slightly anti-Leafs because of the absolute (not relative) number of trolls that fanbase has. And in this current conversation you are imo rivaling the worst of them. Please stop saying stupid things

 

[CaptainUgly]

Guys relax...no fighting....I can send pics of me flexing at the gym right now to get everyone motivated.

Bruins being gifted this series with the Leafs injuries and they’re still going to blow it.

You love to see it

Leafs will lose and you will complain about goalie save %. Book it.

 

[Strangle]

Leafs will lose and you will complain about goalie save %. Book it.

Leafs will win and in the handshake line Marner will lean over into Marchands ear and whisper “you’re my favorite player”

Book it.

 

[PainForShane]

Leafs will lose and you will complain about goalie save %. Book it.

Nah. He'll complain about the refs

 

[Neil Racki]

PUT THEM UP!!

Okay .. lets get at it

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Lol there were literally posts saying that, which is what prompted me to make my comment. I didn't just make up that take out of the blue bud.

 

[Michoulicious]

So, no Matthews again? They are so toasted.
