Uhhh....what? That 4th line looked pretty good and scored the final goal ( Acciari assist ). Moore, Nash, and Acciari were a plus 2 and picked up 9 shots total as a group. I have no idea what game or player you were watching.

I get that and agreed as well. Now the simple flip side of the coin is the result from last night. I think it's totally fine what the approach was but I also firmly believe that games like last night are simply the result of deciding not to fix those two holes and those two very holes cost them the games.
The cost of drafting and developing is losing games like last night hoping you can fight through the holes in the lineup.

One of my favorite videos ever.
I'm not sure she was loving it, but I think she expected it. When the B's started to come back, she had this knowing smile, like "here it comes".
4-2 she's like ho hum looking at her phone, but thinking this is where it begins.
4-3 she feigns surprise, but the smile is creeping in.
4-4 she gasps, but then it becomes (chuckle) how could they not see this coming
5-4 and she is softly smiling...thinking...dagger...fools (snicker)
I am a firm believer that only dorks put their own names on pro jerseys (sorry if that offends anyone here
). That guy in the front left with 42 jersey not only had his name instead of Bozak's, but he's also was eating the chips with his mouth open.Those two things are killable offenses, and he's lucky he only brought about the collapse of the Leafs instead.

It's awesome to watch. What surprises me is that none of them are drinking during that epic collapse.

Didn't get that impression at all, looks like someone that's not really into the game but more so the reactions of her friends

It's how that game ended.
Bruins had a great 3rd. Toronto had almost no scoring chances in the 3rd and very few shots. 4 shots all period before that egregious call against Moore.
Bruins were in control and wouldn't have lost this game otherwise. They may not have won it in thegimmick OT/SO but they would have at least gotten a point and people would feel much better today with a 2-4pts lead over Tor than only 1 up...

That's only if you count the Conference Finals as being "close". I know Leafs fans do, but considering our "close" was 6 Cup Finals appearances in the same time, let's be the rational fans here, huh Fens?

Leafs have been irrelevant for 50 years.
Not even one single Cup appearance.
They made the playoffs only once the past 11 years and they found a way to blow a 4-1 lead in game 7 with 10 minutes to go. Biggest game 7 choke job ever.

I don't know what is worse, Habs fans coming in here telling us about the 24 Cups won before most of them were in diapers, or Leafs fans coming in here giddy that they have a chance of making the post-season for the second time in over a decade and the first time since the embarrassment that was 2013. It's like the choice between a tired old dog in here passing gas, or a bounding puppy peeing on our floor.
This was a tough, draining and demoralizing game. There is a lot of reason to fear another collapse.

They are only second to the Habs in my hoping they never win a Cup again. The escalation in their arrogance this season is unprecedented. I get being excited with the new look Leafs but it has brought out the worst in the fan base. I hope the Leafs miss the playoffs by one ROW.

I think it was beyond helping a team catch team they are chasing. The Bergeron hit should have been 5 and a game.I knew after that non call it was coming.They even had a 5 on 3 for a min plus.lol

You know it's a questionable call when any thread on the TO/MTL leaning main board even daring to discuss it is locked up almost instantly.

I look at it as blatant cheating. Bergeron non call getting plowed from behind.Was way worse then Elbow Tkachuk was suspended for.Could have broke His neck.Whistle on Martin skate blade with Bruins pressing .A 5 on 3.And then that call late You cannot feed a team a win any better
The real fans who come for games are pretty nice. The posters are a different story. It would be great if Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, and Vancouver never win the Cup again.
As for this game... when I watch the Bergeron hit I think we are lucky he did get back up.
If there is "a lot of reason to fear another collapse" based on one loss where the Bruins basically got jobbed out of at least a point due to officiating, then I'm not sure they were in a position to "collapse".
People need to be fair here. You can't let emotions of one loss affect your common sense. This team competed in a must-win game on the road and got screwed by a bad call. If you're going to use that to get all ascared about a "collapse" then I'd argue you're not being rational.

Did they? I shut it off after the Leafs made it 3-1.
But I still stand by my comment that No-goal Acciari has no business in the NHL. One decent game doesn't make him anything close to an NHL player.
You shouldn't hope for anyone to feel bad, but I think they'll probably miss by 1 or 2 points, which except for last year is what usually happens. Since the lock out in 04/05 the Leafs have pretty much been mediocre at best, they made the playoffs once, but usually only miss by a few points (last season was by way more), but that's the first they finished last in over 30 years. Anyway I think your Bruins will be fine and make the playoffs (maybe only a wild card), but don't get too upset over this game and the Moore penalty was legitimate, just bad timing.

Blow it up
if you look on our GDT, I even predicted it was coming, it was so obvious it was going to happen. Let's not kid ourselves, when Rogers signed a 5.2B contract with the NHL for the rights and not even one team qualifies in the 1st year, you know there is going to be some adjusting. It's been happening all season. Canadian teams didn't suddenly all get better. They have had the refs on there side all year. I am a Rogers subscriber so in turn I get gamecenter for "free' I watch a lot of hockey games and I have witnessed it going on all year. The only time Canadian teams get questionable calls on them is when the game is to far out of reach for the other team. Toronto is the NHL's biggest market AINEC, they have every interest in the Leafs qualifying for the PO's. It goes even beyond what Rogers wants , it's what the NHL wants too.
