Game 7 won't be close. Boston has nothing left. The Leafs will get a couple of goals in the first and Boston will crumble from there. Probably ends 4-1 or 5-1 Leafs with a couple of empty net goals. The only question left to answer is whether Boston fires monty or keeps him.

Boston is exactly who we said they were. They could win the series, but they’re not a power house.
 
One thing is for damn sure is that the B’s aren’t being held to 1 single PP at home in Game 7.

The key for me is the special teams battle. They cannot lose that and expect to win the game.

They’ve been shit all playoffs but if the PP and PK can find one game to pull their shit together and perform then that’s the ticket

Don't write them off. Silly to think this way. When you get to a game 7, the rest of the series doesn't matter. What came before is irrelevant. They are capable of playing better than they've shown recently.

We really didn’t outplay TB last year, felt a bit fortunate to win that series honestly. This series is already for me the best iteration of a playoff team this era, we literally have dominated them 5 on 5 for almost the whole series. Now just do something on the PP ffs, thanks.

Agreed. The way they've won these last 2 games is just something we've never seen from any of Dubas' teams.

I wrote this in the mains today. Let's flip the script Saturday night! GO LEAFS GO!

Crazy that this is the fourth straight Bruins-Leafs series to go the distance.

Even crazier are the similarities from 2013. I checked this morning.

Bruins built up a 3-1 series lead.

Game 5 2013: Leafs win 2-1 in Boston
Game 5 2024: Leafs win 2-1 in Boston

Game 6 2013: Leafs win 2-1 in Toronto
Game 6 2024: Leafs win 2-1 in Toronto

We all know what happened in Game 7 back in 2013. Tomorrow, we slay that demon once and for all.

I think it's more than that. I think the Leafs have exposed Boston as being very short on talent.

That's nonsense that the rest of the series doesn't matter. Of course it does. The rest of the series has shown that Boston has virtually no even strength scoring. Most of game 7 will be played at even strength. It won't be close.

I wouldn't get too confident, Boston is a good team that hasn't played to their potential. Pasternak has been invisible, when he comes around they are a power house.
I have no idea who will win game 7, I hope that it's the Leafs.
 
Win/lose Saturday, this was an emberassing series for Boston lol leafs PP, Matthews/Nylander injuries, Keefe playing Sammy .... Pressures more on them.
GLG!!!

Last night was the loudest Leafs building I've sat in since the Sundin era.

It was non-stop in the third. What a special, special night. Still buzzing this morning.

Was at a neighbours watching and when Nylander scored my youngest daughter(17) looked across the room at me, shook her head and said "we should have been there". :laugh:

Has nothing to do with Marner, weird response.

If you feel he's better than McDavid or Mackinnon, I guess that's an opinion
 
Bruins are playing better than most people think imo. They've had more dangerous chances and after the 1st period, the shots end up being pretty close which mean they're piling much more periods 2 and 3.
 
Keep same plan .. play defensively .. always play on defensive side of puck .. high and hard up wall or flip outs .. punish Bruins D with heavy hits on forecheck .. block shots .. keep winning wall battles to break Bruins cycle .. keep net front clear of bruins .. stay out of box .. let Woll see shots and box out others .. if we stay on same program then it is a coin flip in game 7 .. just don't break .. bruins may try to force things with their D and next game we must hurt them more .. Mccabe JT Domi and Mitch all got grade A chances to cut da throat because of bruin D pushes which backfired .. we likely need to convert 1 or more of those chances in game 7 .. Woll is a BIG GAME tender .. I have seen it over 15 years of watching him .. he can win a game a team has ZERO business winning but we don't want to resort to that level on road in game 7 .. swayman knows his lifetime record vs Woll so bruins coach may go Ullmark instead

I’ve watched quite a few of their games and I wouldn’t call them a power house. They are good, they have some talent, but they have relied on goaltending all year. I expect they’ll win on Saturday night because there won’t any missed calls.

Bunting doesn't get enough credit for taking out Cernak with that dirty elbow, don't know that we'd pull out the series without that play.

Pasta has been invisible because the Leafs have been punishing him. The Bruins don't like getting hit as it's exposing their fake tough guy persona. If we play punishing hockey against them tomorrow we win.
 
Love the way this team has played the last 2 games. It’s also nice having a goalie that doesn’t give up a goal on every good chance. Only problem with this team still is the PP and scoring more than 2 goals a game. We’re going to need at least 3 on Saturday imo
