I am already starting to feel sick.

Every year I think I will be able to take out the emotion and just enjoy the game.

Wrong

Just remind yourself that it is only a game and there is always next year ...

The oldheads ragging on Nylander when he has the most playoff goals on the team in the last 5 runs

Great, now I have to wonder what an oldhead is and if I am one.

Attack attack attack

Defense and goaltending is there strength so we have to get after those areas, apply significant pressure and keep it going when momentum is in our favor

Boston is a good team but they aren't unbeatable, it's time for our guys to show they have matured

Make us proud boys, give it everything and don't stop fighting no matter the situation

 

[FerrisRox]

It means Keefe is playing games with Boston, just like they won't announce their goalie.

What's the "game?"

Do you think Boston is going to alter their game plan based on whether or not they think Willie Nylander is playing?

Oddly enough, I am quite calm when it comes to this series. As long as you can tolerate the inherent stress of overtime games, I don't expect the Leafs to ever really struggle in this series. It will be a series of close games where we probably see the teams be within one or two goals of each other for the entire series. I think Samsonov will be just fine and will in fact end up outplaying, or at least keeping pace with, both Swayman and Ullmark.

Choice between what is "Right" and what is "Easy" must be made.

Fear is a choice, but so is COURAGE

NO Fear
NO Limit
NO Excuses

MOP the floor with the those black and yellow pukes

Conquer or be Conquered !

It is time for WAR. There is no looking back.

LETS f***ING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You calling people out on the Habs board and here you are posting on the Leafs board, way to go tough guy.

Best response to a post ever!

I don't think they can match us three lines deep anyways. Every line should be able to win their matchup on the forward side of things. Can't wait to see how Keefe Keefe's this up.

Matching the 4th line against the Pastrnak line?

I’d like to quote the Estonian prime minister and swap Russia with Boston.

“We should not be afraid of our own power, nor should we overestimate Bostons power. When we fear escalation we make ourselves smaller than we are. That is wrong”. - Kaja Kallas

Dang promisedland you got me all fired up bro lol

 

[SprDaVE]

I hope Keefe puts Nylander with Tavares and Marner, that line was very good when they were together. It allows for Knies to be in a smaller role, which has been very good for him. It really depends if McMann is ready to go after that.

 

[ULF_55]

So polarizing.

Rare does a player have 3 straight career years, score 40 and get chastised all the time.

It's been 8 years. There are 8 years left. Everyone knows his strengths and weaknesses.

But he was only their 2nd. highest scorer.

Must support the joined at the hip pair, keep poaching.

 

[ULF_55]

If he is not playing I will be extremely befuddled.

Playoffs are meaningless, that's why the chase for 70 > winning.

f*** the bruins

I feel like this is the only time I will be able to say this against them. The Leafs have more Stanley Cup wins since that time than the Bruins. Lol

 

[notDatsyuk]

Yeah and over the last 5 years of playoff runs he's been on the ice for more goals against than goals for. Let's hope that changes.

He's been mostly playing with JT, who has been even worse, but yes, I hope he's better.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Relax, guys - Willy's fine.

He's just been traded to Phoenix, er Arizona, sorry Utah, oops Melbourne, uh, where are they this week? for future considerations.

 

[Sniper99]

Agreed. These guys overpass all the time.

just shoot the f***in puck

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Willie is elite at everything except defense

...and body contact.

 

[bax]

just shoot the f***in puck

Those were my son’s first words. My wife wasn’t happy.

 

[ULF_55]

You know I never expected Nylander would be a Top 10 scorer in the NHL.

Amazing season, and he'll be hungry to improve next season and hit that 100.

What a great pick by Nonis? Just glad Burke wasn't picking, he'd have went for truculence.
