Now we have the classic cat-and-mouse

Home ice in Round 1 is decided so who does Toronto want to play - who does Florida want to play and who do the Bruins want to play?????

2 very good teams are going golfing after Round 1.

I wonder who Toronto collectively 'wants'.

 

[bwunderlich]

Fla and Tampa would love to only travel across the state. I'm sure Leafs would like to travel to Boston.
Please not Toronto. Beat the Sens.

I wonder who Toronto collectively 'wants'.

After last year?

The battle for the Atlantic Division title:

After last year?

I meant the team itself

Point taken

The Bruins love the atmosphere of playing in Toronto and have for decades.

 

[Mione134]

I'd rather face Toronto, personally.

I want nothing to do with Tampa in round 1.


But whatever happens, the Bruins better be ready.

As someone else said, Matthews will want to try to get to 70 goals, he only needs one so should be playing. Whatever happens, the Bruins control their destiny.

I don't care who we play, I have learned that is a fool's game. The first round is notorious for surprises, as Bruins fans know.

I am more concerned about what happened to Carlo but at least there are a few days before game one.

Panthers just called up 55 year old Mark Fitzpatrick out of retirement for their finale.

He’s been filling in for my men’s league since one of the goalies went down with a hip injury.

We all have such "fond" memories of playing Ottawa in the last game of the season at home...2013, 2016, whatever happened there

 

[The don godfather]

Go leafs go tonight! Or we smash the Sens. Any of this I'm a happy guy.

Was that the diarrhea game or was that 2015?

I do not expect the Bruins to be a Stanley Cup Contender this year. If they could win the first round of the playoffs . I would consider it a very successful year.

If they play the Leaf's and beat them. As a Canadian listening to Canadian Media ponder over how the Leaf's lost to the Bruins for several months is enjoyable viewing. Quietly hoping for a Bruin ,Leaf matchup, In the first round. GO Bruin's !!!

2016 and it was awkward

 

[goldenblack]

They'll start everyone. And it'll be a mistake.

 

[Alicat]

This place is insufferable enough when the B’s play, it will be 10x worse if we play Toronto.

I’d offer to do GDT’s for the playoffs but @Fenway will have to convince me

I'm in such a minority here. I would LOVE what a Toronto series means.

Two times original 6. Now our biggest rival. All the history. How rent free we live in their heads. The level of media coverage.

I just can't quit this matchup. It completes me.

I also think nothing help a PP get confidence like a Leafs goalie.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I’d rather play Toronto than tampa….

Not only do bruins match up better vs Toronto imo …. But Toronto fans sadness brings me joy

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Ending up 4th in the conference I guess doesn't matter but why try so hard all season in the first place if in the end it's like "well home ice doesn't matter"..

 

[caz16]

I will feel sorry for Wally if we play the Leafs.....there will be an infestation and the extermination job will be 24/7. Those fans just can't control themselves, win or lose.

 

[kdog82]

Win the Division. Home ice, although not that it matters much but you should be playing for home ice advantage.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Do better. Play hard and carry that into playoffs

 

[BMC]

The only reason I want Toronto is because I really don't want Tampa Bay.
