[Leaf Fans]

Don't look for him anywhere near the boards or the corners!!!

Why? He will set up chances from those areas.

 

[kadertot]

Leafs D need to wake up on O zone draw wins. 2 clean wins and the back off and allow Bruins to just jump on a rush. Wakey wakey.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Reaves makes some hits and then the Bruins spend the rest of the period in the Leafs' zone. I kinda like the Reaves Effect.

lol except they actually had less zone time . But nice try

 

[Strangle]

They run Pasta, it's time to take a run at Matthews.

Sorry, man. Pasta can’t just skate through the dman’s area unscathed

There’s a reason the 80’s were tough, no one allowed that pretty boy shit

Gotta put your head down and drive

 

[TimeZone]

Leafs about to give 11 million dollar Mitch a big raise after this dominant playoff performance

 

[Leaf Fans]

Coming from a leaf fans that's pretty funny.

It didn't come from me.

 

[aRielzinhooo]

I don’t know how much you’ve watched of the leafs this year, but this ain’t grandma Dubas’ maple leafs

This isn’t holl, engvall, mikyhev and kerfoot

This is Benoit, dewar, reaves, domi and bertuzzi

I only watched like 3-4 games from them. I usually watch teams with top players from Finland.

The difference is for every single person who takes a run at Matthews, the Leafs have an answer... I don't even know if the Bruins have an answer for Benoit

 

[Master P]

Have the Leafs ever tried putting Dewar on Matthews line? I think his puck hounding could help.

 

[PaulD]

Sure, say that when someone charges Pasta with their elbow to his face.

lLike our moms used to say.
"it's all fun and games till someone loses an eye".

 

[Strangle]

It’s pronounced Simon not Simone? McDonough I think is pronouncing it incorrectly….or all those seasons, Ducks broadcasters were. Lol.

He’s French. If you say it with an English or French accent it’s all the same

Some people find it culturally insensitive to say non-English names with an English accent, I think that’s stupid and sounds mocking.

But we’re supposed to pretend to be woke, so whatever

 

[Sniper99]

Leafs are soft

Some posters too

 

[kwichang]

Doh, just noticed Summer Rose changed avatars from last year. . .

 

[LivingRentFree]

aww. Daddy ref not protecting the little players with his whistle.

What are you even talking about half of the time dude? We get it. You don’t like the Leafs. Stick to watching Caufield highlights.

 

[notbias]

Have the Leafs ever tried putting Dewar on Matthews line? I think his puck hounding could help.

That is what Bertuzzi is for... honestly Dewar is probably out when Nylander/McMann are back... Knies to 4LW

 

[MoreMogilny]

Have the Leafs ever tried putting Dewar on Matthews line? I think his puck hounding could help.

What would be more helpful is if Marner actually did something

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

oh no you knocked me down, not even close to what used to happen when Webb and Tucker played

 

[All Mod Cons]

No idea who will win this series, most likely Boston. But it is wild to see the complete 180 from both fanbases with the physicality. Leafs so often pushed around by the Bruins in the past, but now a complete switch.

 

[BullyHockey]

I noticed Mitch Marner out there about as much as I've noticed Nylander and Peeke.

 

[93gilmour93]

They run Pasta, it's time to take a run at Matthews.

 

[ToDavid]

Boosh and Coyle were already getting penalties. Bertuzzi put them on the kill.

There was no call on Coyle in the moment. The ref immediately skated over and singled out Boosh. They made up a penalty for Coyle after Bertuzzi’s slash because they weren’t going to call a 5v3.

 

[sampollock]

Bruins did nothing to improve their scoring so they're not tough they can't score other than pasta.
They're done check the box

 

[Leaf Fans]

Have the Leafs ever tried putting Dewar on Matthews line? I think his puck hounding could help.

I think they did once. But now his line is going, so I don't think they will now.

 

[50sHabsFan]

Why? He will set up chances from those areas.

Because he will get hit in those areas!!!!!

 

[Oilslick941611]

And Boston has 2 even-strength shots in the first period while the Leafs don't even care about playing hockey

Imagine if the Leafs tried to play hockey

are even strength shots worth more than PP shots?



I thought you were a kings fan anyway.
