Mike Augello: Leafs vs. Bruins – Game 1, Forward Breakdown And Prediction; Convo Preview

Done with regular season hockey, 1st game of the playoffs.

The most important Leaf is whoever is between the pipes.

Also - Keefe better have a plan for Pastrnak. They need to make this guy hate hockey. He's gotten FAR too easy a ride against the Leafs. I'd like see Edmundson do his dark arts on this guy.

Uh oh….Mike predicts the Bruins in 7. Some in here are going to be offended.

Looks like Nylander is out tonight.

Dreger, CJ, others speculating that he tweaked something and might not play. Team not saying anything.

How the F is Nylander injured but played the last few games..

Injured in the last few games maybe…?

The assumption/hope should be that your tender will play to an nhl starter standard. Aside from that - your Stars will be good. So will the other teams tender and stars.

1. Special Teams
2. Secondary Players (surrounding Stars)

Those two things win the grind of playoff hockey.

Bert
Domi
Jarnkrok
MCMann (when if healthy)
Knies
McCabe
Benoit
Edmundson

Those are the boys that hopefully bring contributions to aid the Stars and take that focus and pressure off.

Go Leafs Go!

I have to admit that I have little faith in our goaltending. Anything above .900 I’d be happy with.

I don’t think it would have mattered who played, mike would pick the other team.

Well since he was wrong last year I would have thought that he’d pick the Leafs this year.

Meh, most have picked boston. Hes definitely not alone.
Lets hope they are all wrong, its time for a change

Leafs win this series as long as they keep the leafy stupidness to a minimum.
