The fact that I don’t know which team he’s even talking about really brings home the fact that this is absolute nonsense.
Welcome to NHL playoffs where nothing makes sense. Atleast when other leagues rig stuff it's for big markets or in favor offense.

Willy and the two kids (Knies and Woll) willing the Leafs back into the series.
Never thought I'd say it, but, Willy probably deserves the C, yet he doesn't have a letter. The other 2 have been key.

Leafs played like shit in game four and Bs played like shit in games 5 and six. That’s why we’re where we are.

Methot can shut the f*** up.

The fact that this series is going to 7 for Toronto is insane

- Nylander missed the first 3 games
- Matthews misses the last 2 games
- The powerplay is 1/20
- The penalty kill has been 60% for the series
- Samsonov played 4/6 games and had a .883
- Swayman has not allowed more than 2 goals in a game

Guess this is what happens when you go into the playoffs without a #1C. As much as people claim "depth" wins in the playoffs, depth rarely wins without an elite #1C. Boston doesn't have a #1C let alone an elite one.
They haven't lost.

Unreal. How's the officiating been from your perspective?

Nylander continues to be their best playoff player. 11 points in 13 games when facing elimination… he’s clutch too. The only guy they have right now who you can say that about.

Domi, Rielly and Knies also play well under pressure, though they aren't the big money guys (Rielly is still our 1D though).

Domi and Knies don’t have much of a playoff track record. Reilly isn’t bad but I wouldn’t refer to him as clutch.

Game 7 is going to be a fight who can manage to blow a game less badly . Normally the Leafs should have momentum now but they've come back from 1-3 down to blow game 7 before several times. Bruins also have a recent history of blowing a 3-1 lead and losing the series.

Fully expedting game 7 to be a clown fiesta

Comment from a prominent former NHLer btw. I think we're all on the same page here. Hard to watch what is happening to our once great game

Marchand got away with massive interference in game 3 which lead to the Bruins scoring a huge goal that turned the game completely around. If the NHL is rigging for the Leafs, they aren't doing a very good job.

So, Leafs won games 5 and 6 without Matthews, where as Tavares and Marner played well in both games, interesting.
Leafs fans crying how Tavares is the worst captain ever and how Marner always sucks at playoffs..

Well, maybe Leafs shoul keep both Marner, and Tavares, but trade Matthews
(and maybe Nylander as well, sure, he scored both goals, but he was super lucky)
