Way to stir the pot

Not like their coaching staff is any more experienced than Babcock though. Why didn't he make Komarov go to an HIV testing clinic to try and get Marchand a game? Babcock fails again.

5-3 Marlies

Great steal by Grundstrom and nice passing to get Aaltonen another goal.

Marlies scored an empty goal to make it 6-3 but then Laval scored a power play goal.

Fourth line could be dangerous with both Kapanen and Johnson on it.

I'm surprised Babs didn't go with Martin and more muscle, but I guess he's decided instead of trying to beat Boston physically, to go the other way and outskate and outskill them.

Well, that and keep Komarov with the top line so Marchand is too busy licking Komarov to play much hockey. Sound strategy. I hear Komarov was voted as the most lickable face by NHL players.

Johnsson playing PP with Kadri out, doubt Babcock even thought about bringing in Martin. At least id hope not.

Ugggh,

Anyone honestly see Kadri being shown the door this summmer for such a move?

Regardless of whether you think the punishment was too strong(it was) the fact is that these are the kind of immature moves that really sink a team. I could see him being moved while his stock is still high if we think there are other options at centre(Not necessarily implying JT but hey whatever).

Anyway if the PP can somehow find a way to click we'll be ok. Special teams need to be a little less special and more productive tonight

Team that's going to need to be smart with the cap, trades probably their best bang for buck deal.

All because he plays with an edge? Brilliant!

OK....

Drop the puck.


PREDICTION: Toronto 3 - 1 with an empty net. I also predict there will be a mysterious run on Anderson by the Bruins.... which will not be penalized.

Have fun all.

The only silver lining to being swept in the first round.

LOVE IT! Would rather be punched and hope to draw a penalty than be kissed and hope to get a date. #me_too_leafs


But why don't we just enjoy the game tonight ...k? No fighting.... no personal insults.... sound good?

Kinda thought Wingels was embellishing his injury, didn't look like his head got caught in the head that badly, looked worse cause Kadri slammed the boards. If he plays it's confirmed. Veteran move by an experienced Bruins team, sitting him out for practice to make it look worse than it was, probably got Kadri the extra game.
- 13sundin13

Veteran Boston move by keeping him out of Game 2 too with the fake injury. Living the gimmick and all.

You don't have faith that they'll make a come back?

I'll let you know in four hours.
I honestly thought we would win this series. I knew it would be tough and obviously wasn't over-confident, but I was conviced. After game one, I've reversed my stance. I believe the Leafs are more than capable, but I'd be more confident wagering Boston will win. Not just because they have a series lead, either.
Look at Pitts/Philly though, you just never know.

5-2 Leafs on the strength of a Bozak Hatty.
