Who wins game 7 - Toronto or Boston?

[bobholly39]

I think most people had written off the Leafs after game 4 - especially with Matthews being out. But here we are with 2 straight wins - both games where they didn't just win, but also deserved to win and where Boston hasn't played particularly well, so momentum has definitely shifted.

No one knows if Matthews will be back or not for game 7 yet - but you have to assume it's a possibility. So a lot of uncertainty there.

So - what's your prediction? Who wins game 7, and is it a close game or a blowout?

Where's the "I no longer give AF" option?

Right next to the "I still give enough of AF to post a reply though"

Matthews returns. Boston wins.

Hopefully for Torontos sake AM doesn’t play. Curious how Avs and Oil would be without their MVP

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Boring series so far with both teams playing like losers.

Boston wakes up and the Cinderella Leafs lose the fairy magic.

momentum is going torontos way

Boston in a close game.

I think the Avs would not beat Dallas. They’d beat or play VGK well though.

The Oil would not beat Van City, but I think with Drai they’d beat Nashville.

Matthews come back = Toronto lose.

Matthews stays out of the lineup = Toronto wins.

Absolutely no idea tbh. Toronto game 7 curse vs the pressure of Boston not blowing it again. Could see it going all sorts of ways.

Should be fun

This is why this game 7 feels different because both teams for different reasons have HUGE pressure on them.

Leafs win in a blowout

Leafs AIENC .

3-1

Boston are Anemic AF.

I expected Boston to turn it around a bit in Game 6 but it was just a re-hash of Game 5.

Makes you wonder if they have anything left to give.

Toronto wins, close I think, because of Swayman.

I've seen this play out to many times. Leafs are losing either 4 - 1 or 5 - 2 with one of their worst efforts of the series.

 

[kevsh]

The Leafs figured out how to out-Boston Boston and the Bruins don't have an answer.

I do think though that it's simply going to come down to which team converts on more of their relatively few chances. Each of the last two Toronto wins could have very easily gone the other way, so maybe this one will.

However, I'm sticking with my Bos/Tor Playoffs thread poll prediction of the Leafs in 7.

 

[Fatass]

Recent history leads me to expect it’s not going to be Boston doing anything special to win but more the Leafs doing something to lose.

 

[wintersej]

I took Boston in 7 to start. Guess I'll stick with it.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Matthews come back = Toronto lose.

Matthews stays out of the lineup = Toronto wins.

Bingo. I've been saying this since before game 6.

4-2 Boston with the Leafs going 1-0 and 2-1 up

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Yes

Voted Boston in a close game, depends how many Leafs have the mystery-flu though.

The more the better for Toronto's chances?
