Our penalty kill is about to get tested in a big way. If the PK steps up and we actually get some scoring then I think the Leafs have a solid chance to win this. I'm with you on the goalies. I'm convinced Matt Murray is going to start game 5 lol although I realize I'm probably wrong lol

This is my favourite “team” of recent years. More character, they stick up for each other, some jam, heart and soul. Not sure it’s the best on paper, but I feel like our depth scoring could be a factor. Goaltending is the issue for me and defence breakdowns.

Ideally the Leafs are able to pot a couple goals early game 1. Shake the Bruins goalie confidence and remind the Leafs they have the firepower to win
Welp, I'm all set for my heart to be broken. I think I've finally crossed the threshold into masochism.
Our special teams need to hold up to, our PK can't suck or were going to get eaten alive

Oh, you mean like the couple of Leaf goals scored in the 1st period last night. A 2-0 lead that evaporated quickly in the 2nd period.
Yup, that will scare the Bruins into submission, just like it did the Panthers last night.

The Bruins start Saturday.
We didn’t score a first period goal against Boston this year
Click the white one [I need help]
Our goal-tending and defence gives me so little confidence. Doubt they even go 7 games this time.

I'd say there's a wee difference between how players are thinking about a 7 game playoff series vs a late regular season game that most guys were half-assing their way through

No idea, just heard it on the pregame.
I’m waiting on the home game dates.

That's a good optimistic look but even if the Leafs pot 8 goals in the first period, I'd somehow expect them to give up 6-7 goals in the next 2 periods lol
But yeah, the Leafs need to start on time for sure. It feels like over the years they either do well in game 1 or get completely dominated.

No idea how this team plans to turn it on and up the game. This year has been full of inconsistency. Some games they show up other games no.
