Honestly, I'm ok if the Leafs beat Boston and then totally Tampa'd up in the 2nd rd..

True. No matter what happens afterwards, tomorrow determines if this season was a success or failure

During our annual game 7 blown 3rd period leads in Boston, I don't have heart attacks, i go catatonic, it's an instinctual reaction to avoid further emotional trauma
- BestRapperAlive

I think the Leafs can win this tomorrow night..

Just can't get into penalty trouble, and keep outskating Boston like in Games 1,3 and 5.

Pretty much sums it up..

Tomorrow night;
Win: Season was a success no matter what happens next
Lose: It's a wasted season, and then we're basically the Jets..

does anyone who was calling Matthews a playoff choker or whatever feel dumb now?

Probably not but that's a part of being dumb.

They also can't be trailing late in the game because Babcock will (frank) them over if so.





(Why yes, I DO indeed plan on beating this dead horse until the Leafs move on to the 18-19 second round or I die. Whichever comes first.)

Honestly was hoping we would win in 6. Now it is a crap shoot. It is who will want it most really.

Overall we have been as good or better than last year. Not at all the same tram so this could go either way at this point. Regardless it has been a good year and ita just the start of it for the team. The doom and gloom is a bit rediculous and going on about its such a failure if we lose is stupid too. We have been more than fortunate on the fast results of a full rebuild here. Our window is just opening while others are finding theirs closing. Temper the expectations and check the emotions some.

Guys just need to want it more than Boston and stick to their gameplan. We can win this.

Pretty much sums it up..

We're worse than the jets, at least theyve made round two and dont keep losing to the same team

I'd imagine that if trailing late into the 3rd, we'd be forced to see Marleau-Gauthier-Brown on the ice

- Fakepartofme

its close, they had pretty high expectations but were terrible the down the stretch and it doesnt look easily fixable, add onto that they have to sign Laine, Connor, Trouba and have 7 more UFAs to replace, and have 3 draft picks in this draft

True, but the Jets lost to a team with teh bozek, Steen, Soshnikov and Gunnarsson

Probably not but that's a part of being dumb.

So true.

also the Leafs have had to play the #1, #3 and #4 teams.
Peg just lost to the #12 team

Babcock cannot get caught too many times with 3rd or 4th line out there against Bergeron line. Also, Fix the PK and/or stay out of the box and the Leafs have a fighting chance.

If we lose to Boston tomorrow night.. What was the point of even getting Nic Petan?

Personally, I'm hoping for a Rask meltdown
