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

Is this really surprising? I mean, it's not hard to figure out.

Largest fanbase in hockey. It's spring. Your favourite team is knocked out. Is hanging out on a message board really a high of a priority if you don't have a team to cheer for?

As you probably know, cheering against a team is almost as much fun as cheering for one. So yeah, this is the place to cheer against... well... someone.

Problem is I hate both teams, so I'm in therapy no matter who wins.

Technically, I said most massive, not biggest... depends on the density. Neutron stars are relatively small but extremely dense so have a very high relative mass as a result.

I'm not sure of the physics, but I am sure the highest relative mass is my obese cousin on my Mom's side.

I'm not sure about Mecca's followers, however Toronto's followers usually drop off drastically once the playoffs go on without them.

The try-hards just reload and spend the rest of the summer disparaging the teams they couldn't beat in the previous playoffs.

We are bound to miss the playoffs any time now, so we were told all year anyways...

Confirmed, summer rose is an AI

Would an AI want the Leafs to win this game?

Not a god fearing one

 

[leafsfan5]

Nylander out games 1-3
Matthews out games 5/6

Joseph Woll you are my saviour

Fair. And funny.

 

[John Price]

not good for the Leafs

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Did the guy shit his Liver out or something? God damn.

 

[sampollock]

not good for the Leafs

he must have a concussion that is what many sport reporters are guessing, due to the fact that a doc pulled him out

 

[Chaos2k7]

When the real reasons come out why they are missing these games, I hope the staff gets fired, terrible management if they were banged up to end the regular season and rested nobody

He looked awfully healthy when he dominated game 2 pretty safe to say it happened in this series with Matthews.

if a concussion, that is not good.

They also looked like they were only playing for regular season records. Keefe already stated that was not how he wanted to manage the end of the season. Excuse maybe?

Reports suggest that he had an illness for games 3-4, and being sick can make you more susceptible to an injury. On the bench during game 4, there was apparently a video that showed him talking to the trainer saying "I can't f***ing skate". It's likely he was initially sick and playing through that led to an injury, maybe groin or lower body?

Essentially, this is a cursed playoff series for Matthews. He has his best playoff game ever in game 2 and looks poised to dominate, gets sick and looks noticeably worse in games 3/4, then gets injured and will likely miss the rest of the series

He could have a lacerated spleen.. ... ....

a doctor only pulls a guy out for certain things. concussion is one. maybe he is dizzy and such nothing to fool around with

To be honest, we still don’t know what the hell is wrong with him. I get why the secrecy, but it sucks for the fans that we lost our best player and we don’t really know why. All we know is that he is not available to play. Brutal luck.

 

[Strangle]

lol good point!

Not if they took their training data from online sources!!

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Based on the tea leaves, I suspect it may be a Freddie Andersen style situation.

Whatever it is, it's very unfortunate.

No coach in the league would have sat out a player sitting at 69 goals other than maybe mike babcock - stupid to pin it on keefe.

Keefe literally said he didn't like it. It's not on him.

Montgomery also made the same decision chasing a meaningless division title he didn’t get

And that’s the reigning coach of the year in the NHL

 

[Suntouchable13]

At least Boston is missing their top player too Pasta has been pretty invisible.

 

[PaulD]

Wow. Aren't you a clever, original one. Did you think of that one all by yourself, Mr. First Team To Ever Finish In 32nd Place In NHL History?

And eliminate the leafs in the first round the year before doing it.
