Blueprint to beat the Leafs hasn't changed in the Matthews era. Dump, chase and finish all your checks. Not confident in this group at all.
 
I think Boston is a better matchup for us, but we're not going anywhere unless our goaltending and special teams step up.

Hopefully the boys can reset on Saturday with a healthy lineup.
 
Leafs can win this series, but we'll have t outplay the refs - so PK will have to be excellent.
We'll also have to play very physical, and start intimidating this team.

Penalties will be called 2 to 1 against us, but if our special teams are cooking, we can do it.

Leafs in 6
 
It's hard to see it being the mental midgets that they are. They certainly have the talent, but the mental side is not there. They played them scared in the meetings during the regular season.
Yeah that's the reggy season though. I've seen much worse (mentally) Leafs teams take the Bruins to 7 games many times.

This time, our character will shine through.






Then we'll get demolished by the Panthers :laugh:

I completely understand.

I will hope until the final buzzer, and I wouldn't feel great laying any money down, but I will choose to believe the toughness they have added will help.
 
Nobody is getting suspended. Domi and our guys are smarter than Bunting or Kadri.

Domi literally got a 10 min misconduct for fighting a player after a clean play and took a dumb tripping penalty in the final 10 seconds of a game that led to other team scoring the GWG.

And this all happened within the last 5 days.
 
Since January 1st:

Boston Bruins:
25-13-9 (12th in points%)
17th in xGF%
17th in xGF/60
16th in xGA/60
15th in HDCF/60

Toronto Maple Leafs:
29-15-3 (8th in points%)
7th in xGF%
6th in xGF/60
12th in xGA/60
6th in HDCF/60
None of that applies to the playoffs though. We are now playing a different sport for 8 weeks, or 10 days.
 
Boston has the mental edge and I don't like it. Leafs looked scared in the couple meetings later in the season. I don't know if that means anything come Saturday. I am scared haha.
Do they have the mental edge? Seems to me like they just gave up at the end of the season and lost to f***ing Ottawa.
