I can’t cheer for Vancouver - I find many of their fans insufferable and they do more trolling in here than probably any other Canadian team. Plus I love Nashville the city, went to a Leaf game there and the fans were awesome as is that atmosphere and rink. Go Preds

Go Jets - my best friend is a Jets fan and it’s kinda made me one. Plus we went to a game there (not Leafs) also and with what 5000 less fans I’d say that rink is as loud if not louder than the Bell Centre (which is insanely loud). Go Jets.

Go Oilers - I’m done with the LA / Will Ferrell thing. They got their cups and Drew Doighty has tortured the Leafs for too long (I’d have loved him as a Leaf). Go Jets

Go Rangers - Too many Islanders fans are classless losers. The way they treated JT and how they are in here is enough for me. GO Rangers

Go Canes - Freddy - we miss you!

Go Florida - don’t care which I hate both equally. lol


Go Dallas - (frank) Vegas who have never had to suffer through having an absolute dog poop team and annoy the ever living poop out of me because they have figured out how to gain the system and make the league look like even more of a joke than it is. GO STARS


Last but most importantly GO LEAFS GO!!!

I have a difficult time disagreeing with any of the above. Other than i dont miss freddy.

Hope you are doing well dude.

Time for Marner to step up and grow a pair.

Is Nylander drawing back in yet?

Get it done.

Yeah, these guys all need to be willing to take the game physically if they hope to move forward. Boston has it figured out.. they give the puck handlers zero time and the leafs are passing poorly and shooting in an almost panicked style.

Take the same beating and get the win… it’s what it takes to do well in the post season. If they don’t this series won’t take long cause after last game it’s showing Boston knows this about the leafs and their unwillingness from the core.

Thinking Willie is back in tonight… hoping so… willing to bet he will be amped up big time after missing the first 3

I really like our game 5v5, better than previous teams. We're losing the series because we're getting murdered on special teams. Pretty simple.

That and other than Matthews the core four has done very little when it comes to the grit of the game

Nylander: hasn’t played yet
Marner: sticks to the outside and tries to play fancy
JT: tries but his age shows
Matthews: focal point of the bruins defensive coverage due to the others

Unless Marner starts being willing to play gritty he isn’t worth keeping. As for Nylander I’m hoping he will, but we’ll see.

The majority of their guys making half the cap aren’t doing what’s needed in playoff hockey. Your body doesn’t matter boys, play tough or you’re no post season guy.

This is the must win game of the season. Lose, you're out in 5. Win and you have the momentum. Time for Nylander and Marner to show up. Is it time for Woll yet? Samsonov has spotty concentration. Can't be giving up any easy goals. Swayman is too good of a goalie to try and recoup a soft one by Samsonov.

Makes sense when the goalie they're likely facing has a .955sv%

Well its willies first game, so we can hold aside the "time for him show up". But agreed, time for marner to show up.
And outside of one game, Matthews hasn't really showed up much.

Stop with this flipping the goalie stuff okay? Sammy is their playoff goalie. The end.

Nylander hasn’t even had the chance yet either.

Marner is only going to be productive playing with a guy like Matthews unless he starts to realize his fancy puck handling isn’t worth poop in the post season.

The leafs can’t score more than 2 goals regularly and that’s the damn problem. They are not playing the game they were built to play.

He’s already had a 3P game ffs… back off the poor guy who faces Boston’s primary D due to the lack of the rest of the “core four”

Yes outside of 1 game. 1 game..where he got all his points
Our 13.5 million dollar player to needs to find a way to succeed on a consistent basis.
Boston isnt as talented as prior years, our top center is going to face their top d.
Thats what happens.

Matthews has been very good 5v5. This series is all about special teams. It's the big $ guys who need to step up on the PP.

Dozzer, as for Marner, stop waiting for him to play a more physical game. It's simply not going happen. Leafs have significant decisions to make going forward.
