Jack Eichel?

More like Jacked Eichel!

Would you look at the pipes on that guy!


Eichel has committed himself to pumping iron this summer in preparation of the World Cup of Hockey and his sophomore season in Buffalo.

Seeing is believing.

On Sunday afternoon, Eichel and his buds took to the high seas off Cape Cod for some big game fishing. They bagged some impressive stripers.

Notice the increases in muscle in Eichel's biceps, triceps, pecs, lats, traps and core.

Eichel clearly has done the work in the gym.

I love the jorts, Jack! Gonna get me three pairs.

Jack better get a permit to bring those guns back to Buffalo.

I can't wait til thursday. We're killing ourselves in these debates.

We even have bloggers throwing rights

Prediction;

Leafs in 6. In saying that, Andersen needs to be on his game.. Historically, he is 10-1 with a .935 save % against Boston.

We need all three of our scoring lines to put up points and try to limit the scoring of Boston's big 3.

Wheter the Leafs win or lose, I think this series will be beneficial to Auston Matthews.

I remember when Crosby and the Pens lost to Detroit in the finals, Zetterberg pretty much destroyed Crosby every time they were on the ice together. Z was not only reducing Crosby's production to barely nothing, HE was scoring goals and won the MVP.

The year after, you could tell Crosby had learned from the experience and managed to be much better vs the same player who dominated him a year before.

I think Bergeron could have a similar effect on Matthews... if he learns as well as #87 of course.

Time for Babcock to earn his money

That could very well happen... The hope is that Matthews learned that last year, going up against Ovechkin/Backstrom

My X factor for this series, and it has been overlooked due to the star power in this series, is the bruins 4th line. They have been a headache for opponents all season, and haven't seemed this productive since 2011.

I'm sure he has, but I don't think these guys can bring the same level of direct opposition to Matthews like Zetterberg or Bergeron can.

These guys are not only dangerous offensively, they're amazing at countering the other centre they're facing.

Backstrom, as good as he is, is not the same kind of player. And Ovechkin is a winger.

may have to mute the games in Boston - I cant stand their horrible announcers

I think Bruins will have a big win first game (4+ goals difference).
Then Leafs adjust and take series in 5.

No worries, it may be on the golf channel, they're required to whisper.

BOLD

To all posters, I have read through the last few threads and during last week and will be making a decision soon for a playoff that will be enjoyable to all in the Leafs threads.

I have contacted the admins about this and changes will hopefully come by Thursday.

Well, gentlemen, it's been a pleasure knowing you.

See you after my ban.

Don't.

From experience, hearing Jack Edwards completely lose it after a Bruins loss is hilarious.

I thought that last year, but they were competitive from game 1 puck drop and I'm expecting the same this year. If anything, we surprise the Bruins and start off bouncing off the walls, taking game 1.

I think Matthews is really going to come out this playoffs, him and Marner.

I was only able to get Marner in my pool though.

Picked 3 Leafs, 3 Preds, 2 Sharks, 3 Caps and one Devil because there was no D left except NJ but I see them upsetting TB

The Leafs will simply take aspirin.

Problem solved!

Cuter than Marchand and Komarov, anyway.
