Leafs’ first round opponent: Boston (who tanked for us)

[HamiltonNHL]

We’ve lost to Boston for 2 straight years

I can’t see why people want to play Boston vs Florida. We matchup super bad vs Boston. The lightning can beat Boston and we can beat the lightning easily.

But Boston is the hardest team for us to beat.

And man did they just wipe out asses one month ago.

Has there been any mention of when a Playoff schedule will be announced?

Bruins may have indeed tanked to get the Leafs and avoid Tampa. They must have read these boards where at least one poster predicted Tampa would beat Boston.

I would expect soon after the the season ends tonight.

I believe Kings can pass Vegas with a win and a Vegas loss.

I just checked out the series odds. Boston is -125 to win the series, Leafs at +105. That's about what I expected, the bookies know what they're doing (as usual).

Say what you will this is the most exciting outcome imo. I'm tired of Tampa, I don't really want Florida right now. Let's face our actual rival (Habs literally don't count) and see where the chips land

This is a 10 on the fun and drama meter and for that I'm in baby.

Yeah what the hell. I figure our chances of winning the cup are the lowest they've been since we faced WSH in round 1 so may as well take the drama.

I should be worried about Boston clobbering us, but I don’t care
