I was surprisingly not angry when the Bruins won

cause it's the Leafs. 

Now enjoy all the Leaf whining for months. 

and don't worry, unless Swayman performs miracles Bruins can't get anywhere near beating Florida.

I can't say I was exactly rooting for them, but I found myself rooting more strongly against the Leafs.

I don’t expect them to beat Florida but it will take a physical toll on the Panthers!

Don't think so. The Leafs' physical game was better than Boston's the past two games. Boston looks old. The Panthers have a solid physical game that can easily match Boston's right now.

If anything we'll be treated to a goaltender duel, but, again, the Panther's skill surpasses Boston's by quite a lot. 

If I were a betting man I would lay money on this being a 4 and out series.

I want to believe they used the play we did against them last year to tie it with Tuch one timing it off the boards. Even if it’s a common ish play lol

Possibly. They have a few tougher guys than last year but overall Florida is the tougher team.

Probably. idk about 4 straight but Bruins don't have enough goal scoring talent to match Florida so they will likely end up on the losing side of a goaltending battle too. 

Beating the Leafs was satisfying though. I'm happy. Hate the Leafs.

Having played first without Nylander, then Mathews, probably saved a lot of jobs on the  Leafs. If they had lost 4-1 heads were going to roll...coach Sheldon gone for sure, and who knows what other changes. Instead, they are now looking at it as some sort of moral victory that they battled back from down 3-1 without their superstar Mathews. Hear them talking of how coach was so proud of his team for battling back under such trying circumstances.  Guess it'll be the same old same old for the Leafs and thei rfans next year as well then...

I’ll be a bit surprised if Keefe is not fired. I think he is a good coach, but the easiest change for the Leafs to make is to fire him and bring in any one of the veteran coaches available. I think their brass will look at how they played games 5-7 and target a coach who they perceive will have them play like that from the start (Berube). 

There will be calls for Marner and/or Tavares to be traded, but they both have full no moves. I suppose there are ways to convince a player to accept a trade.  Both are UFAs after next season, so change is coming one way or another.

I respectfully disagree here. Saved jobs? Interesting how games 5 & 6 were won without Mathews. He plays game 7 and they lose. 

 

I'm glad Keefe is proud and creating this narrative. They failed....again. Time for Keefe, Treliving and Shanahan to go. Along with a roster shake up. Running it back with this group would be a mistake.

Trust me I am not saying by any means that I agree or think that they should all stay and go into next season with the same personnel.  I really do not care in fact either way, but as has been pointed out their "big guns" al have no move contracts, and who would want Marner and/or Travares at their price-points? Treliving is a joke who totally detroyed Calgary and it is crazy that the leafs immediately hired him after being fired.  Shanhan and company have accomplished nothing really but they are really pushing the "boy we sure shopwed a lot of hear tand drive by coming back to tie the series" rhetoric up here in Ontario (I was born and raised in Toronto suburbs and m ybro was a good foalie in the Leaf organization and was tutroed at one point by Johnny Bower and even had equipment given to him from Mr. Bower and I grew up playing and coaching hockey). I now live north of TO but even on facebook it is full of Leaf fans spewing their love for the team and how they battled back. So it is no tonly Keefe but even th efans are guilty of the continued love-affair...

Jack’s was at least a great opportunity he created from nothing he couldn’t bury. Marchessault just egregiously missed 

The announcers were losing their ***** about Dallas changing their guys…It wasn’t icing!!! lol
