Had friends and their kids over last night.

When we collapsed, being an experienced Leafs fan, I took it in stride.

The kids were not so forgiving. My 9 year old was devastated. It was pretty sad and cute to watch.

We'll get 'em next year.

My 3 year old son (who for some god forsaken reason picked the Bruins to win the cup) learned this morning the Bruins won.

"YEAH! GO BRUINS! THEY ARE THE BEST! MY FAVORITE TEAM".

God (frank)ing dammit. GO TAMPA.

To me, if you look at the playoffs last year, and this year in aggregate, I have zero confidence Fredrik Anderson is a goalie you can win a Cup with.
Not nearly good enough.

honestly i was not impressed at all by the bruins these games.
i think tampa easy win in 4, max 5 games.

i guess i hope Washington will make it to the SC finals, really don't want pittsburgh winning it again, and Tampa is just such an insignificant organization..

Maybe a SJ - Washington finals would be ok

The worst part is, when you realize Gardiner is going to cost you the series...before the series even begins.

He may have offensive upside but as long as they keep that turnover machine, they won't advance.

Couldn't ask more of Andersen, best goalie they've ever had.

I still remember watching the Sens lose to the caps as a young one. Very devastating.

does this series even go 7 without having Gardiner?
the D is pretty bad without his breakouts. It didnt work in game 7, but he lead the team in stretch passes (by a lot) in the series. It helped the leafs get a lot of chances and some goals

My son was the hugest Oiler fan since birth...since watching them the last 12 years he has become pretty used to the losing and expects it. Yours will come to realize and expect the same of the leafs...

Well you have to factor in all the goals those stretch passes cost them. I thought they were brutal with those. Shorten the passes up and they could have had way better possession numbers

We were pulling for you because of Andersen. But unfortunately I don't think he's a big game goalie. Andersen faltered with the Ducks too.
