Pre-Game Talk: Game 1 Leafs @ Bruins 8PM

[Fogelhund]

Lmao he’s not taking a day off

He'll be in the lineup tomorrow, and your sky is falling routine will look silly.

 

[Aashir]

What the f*** does it’s “a possibility” Nylander plays tomorrow mean? He played all 82 games what could possibly be wrong?

That’s why you don’t play him all 82 f***ing games

If he was injured, you should’ve sat him. f*** 100 points, we need him now

 

[LDN]

Max Domi is the f***ing key to winning this thing

 

[ToneDog]

Nylander has a couple of weeks of maintenance days so hopefully he's not dealing with an injury

I'll be impressed if Brodie stays out.

He's pretty much mailed in his last 12 games. He better be rested and ready.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Nylander only shows up for meaningful games. There's a reason he's been MIA last 12 games, we've already clinched.

This is where Willy shinessssssss

 

[ACC1224]

Nylander had a spa day scheduled and couldn't miss his manicure , pedicure and shiatsu massage for practice.

I thought perhaps his hairdryer broke and he wouldn’t dare leave the house without being fully coiffed

I hope you're right. If that's the case he'll be very well rested.

 

[Suntouchable13]

This is weird. If Willy had something nagging him, then why play him in the last few regular season games? All of a sudden now he is only a “possibility” for game 1? I don’t get it. This must be just Keefe playing games with Boston.

I am just hoping this is posturing and they're messing with Monty while just giving Willy a maintenance day. We'll see I guess

If he is not playing I will be extremely befuddled.

 

[AndyWozniewski]

Our defense is ass. 1st pairing gonna get caved in. Offense will dry up as usual in the playoffs. Sammy's gonna have to steal the series.

 

[BTP]

You don’t know that.

And I’m asking a question, you sound ridiculously sensitive lmao

 

[the squared circle]

Maybe willy is back in Toronto filming another commercial on the TTC. I still laugh when that lady slowly takes a pic of him

 

[JSn0w93]

Guys Nylander is playing, he might very well be dealing with something as his play would indicate the last stretch of games, but he’s playing tomorrow. This is just the game within the game. Why give them anything? We don’t even know who’s starting for them.

 

[wingman75]

If he is not playing I will be extremely befuddled.

He must have gotten nicked during the last game?

I don't remember seeing anything, I mean it's not like he was putting himself in any precarious situations.

Hopefully he is okay come tomorrow night... we need him to be good for us!

It’s the playoffs, though, guys play unless they are seriously injured. Just nicked shouldn’t be enough. But maybe that’s changing now.

Of course we do, it's Swayman. Doesn't take rocket science.

 

[JSn0w93]

Yeah, but they wouldn’t state it, just like Keefe isn’t going to let them know Nylander is going.

 

[Apex Predator]

I hope Keefe is playing mind games with Boston.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

I hope Keefe is playing mind games with Boston.

Maybe just trying to get Willy some free reign out there if he can keep the top two lines away from Willy. He should be able to win that matchup vs third pairing D too.

Fully expecting to see the fast engaged Willy circling the zone every shift and driving the net when he can.

I really hope Keefe doesn't plan to match the Matthews line vs the Marchand/Debrusk line. He should be against Pasta for sure!

Agreed. Boston’s top 4 is great, but there is a significant drop off after their top 4.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Agreed. Boston’s top 4 is great, but there is a significant drop off after their top 4.

Our best shot is running lines 1v1 2v2 and 3v3 head to head. We have the horses to win that race.

 

[Seras]

Let's go boys!


Calm down with the hate, they haven't even played yet lol

 

[Clark4Ever]

Hopefully Nylander and McMann will both be ready to go. We need them both in our top 9 to be at our best.

 

[tom leafers]

27 and a half more hours to go boys.

the core better be pissed off after having lost to the bruins twice
