didn't seem to stop them in '11

I seriously debated wearing my Toronto St. Pats jersey to class today.

Then I realized I live in the desert and it's (frank)ing hot, so it goes on at game time. Either way, go Leafs!

I have looked at 10 different sports writers and can't find 1 that picks the leafs to beat boston.

Looked at TSNs Scott Cullen's picks for round 1 last year for some comfort though.

Round 1 (he went 3- 5)
Rangers in six. Right but 6 games
Bruins in six Wrong Washington in 7
Devils in five. Right but in 7
Penguins in seven Wrong Flyers in 6
Canucks in seven Wrong LA in 5
Blues in six Right but in 5
Blackhawks in seven Wrong Phx in 6
Red Wings in six. Wrong Nashville in 5

Does anyone remember any writer picking LA last year?

Cullen is a tool.

I can't remember a 4/5 matchup that seemed to be so heavily in favor of one or the other. I blame blind hate

- vermie22

Very true, but this team isn't playing like '11 in any facet of the game.

No TIMMAYYY either, I love Rask but Timmy was something special in '11

I miss Recchi already too...

No but I can't remember anyone picking them either.... All I'm saying.

I don't know anyone but Bruin's fans who are picking the Leafs. I think they are just trying to psych us out.

My only hope is that the Leafs somehow use the underdog role as motivation and bring their game to a new level. Unfortunately there is little evidence from the regular season (especially in April) that supports them being able to do this.

Some leafers having been comparing them since the summer.

Now that a bottom seed has won the cup it is something that logical people will have to put up with.

- JVince11

No but BUF can be eliminated before April sets in

Nothing helps the Bruins find their game like playing the leafs.

I didn't realize 5 was a bottom seed.

4 top seeds 4 bottom seeds, no?

last time there was an NHL lock out the devils placed 5th and matched up vs the Bruins.

the devils won the cup.

that is all.

Bruins fan's collectively from what I have seen are in VERY low confidence in this team based on the last month. Hard to be pumped for a team that has played to maybe 50% potential

Calm down, playoffs are totally different. Go back to your stool.
