Here we go again

Boston B. Ruins

 

[JAK]

Bruins come back from 4-1 to win in 5 OTs.

 

[BB79]

Here we go again

Let's hope

 

[Arctic Fox]

3-3 series. Looks like neither team wants Florida any more?

Let's hope

But how they do it in Maple Leafs sweaters? The team will take the jerseys with them for the Florida series.

3-3 series. Looks like neither teams wants Florida any more?

The Leafs do.

 

[hangman005]

Need a third team to come along and decend from the rafters to eliminate both teams

Hope it's an entertaining game regardless.

 

[TheSuperElite]

really nice GDT

Hard to believe Leafs are back in a Game 7 against the Bruins and there's arguably more pressure on the Bruins. Weird, fun spot.

From an outside perspective it can't really be said who has more pressure. A loss would be a catastrophic failure for both. It does make it even more interesting though that Boston isn't this time entering the game as just looking to haunt the Leafs, they need this win. So much at stake here, this is the most excited I've been about a hockey game in a while and I don't even root for either team.

 

[JoeSakic13]

I just hope both teams have fun.

 

[TheSuperElite]

can't wait for the chaos that befalls the loser

 

[thaman8765678]

Cya Leafs.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Cya Leafs.

Yup, at 7 eastern. Right here.

 

[Leaf Fans]

can't wait for the chaos that befalls the loser

They will just reload for next year.

 

[hatterson]

Today is the day where the Leafs try to give us hope just so they can rip our hearts out again.

I’m not falling for it this time. I refuse to hope.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Will be funny if the Bruins choke away a second 3-1 series lead in a row.

 

[Summer Rose]

Wonderful GDT!

Hope it’s a good game tonight.

If you look at this series in a vacuum I don’t think the Leafs losing should count as catastrophic at all. Missing the best player for 2 (probably 3) games, another top player for 3 other games, and they’re playing a team that was better in the regular season.

The series would more be the straw that broke the camels back than something that was independently catastrophic.

Two predictions for tonights game 7:

1. Matthews returns and scores 4 goals, including game winner

2. Marchand does something that causes him to get suspended for 6+ games at start of next year and get his captaincy removed

 

[CJV123]

The Leafs need this much more than the Bruins do, regardless the fans' spin. I expect an amazing game and I hope the officials do not influence the outcome.
