Then he would be minus 4.

He was -3 and it was Boston's bottom 6 doing the scoring.
- Aetherial

Matthews wasn't responsible for any of the goals against ...but his finish was missing. The B's got in front of everything coming off his stick. No excuses though ...he's got to learn to hit 'playoff' gear.

This is an elite team
2 elite centers
elite winger
elite defenseman
elite goaltender

it needs toughness and minor tinkering ad mostly a new coach
- Mr_Smokey

Umm maybe elite reg season team.

Ya they were great for half a season

Need ownership to call out our players?
- Fakepartofme

i'm talking about how they stepped it up in playoffs.

You do NOT want Simmonds. For (frank)s sake. He’s a terrible, terrible, terrible hockey player.
- RafiDRW

He's a good hockey player, but his next contract will be a mistake of Lucic-like proportions.

I love the guy for the game he played, but at 31 years old, his warranty has expired.

He will get very bad very quickly.

Is this actually Lums?

I can't see his teeth, so I dunno

5 goals in the last 4 games...

Honestly, I can't even really hate the Bruins. They played a team game, got sound goaltending, understand playoff refereeing and I didn't see much particularly dirty play that I wouldn't see anywhere else.

Chara would be the one exception. It is unbelievable what he gets away with.
- Aetherial

All true. I don't hate the bruins for the way they play hockey. They play to win. I hate the fact that they are dream-crushers, soul destroying dread-mongers. In my mind, they seem to enjoy the roll.

Full of the awful takes tonight eh?



Andersen and Matthews were 2 of the Leafs 3 best players in the series. Next you’ll be bashing Rielly.
- Feeling Glucky?

To be fair, he wasn't that great defensively the last two games.

Hate the Leafs, but truth be told, they have a good young team that just needs be to tweaked to get to the next level.

Five goals in seven games isn’t playoff good?

Is Santo_44 alright?
- JohnFergusonJr

Omg you're gonna get called out.

- MaximusAurelius

Ok i forgive you.

Leafs finally unload the burden of playing plugs like Komarov and Martin who definitely didn’t sweep the penguins and are definitely not going to the second round. Thank god for that. And thank God we have Nylander who’s such a good guy, out there battling (sorta but not really) and being an effective center option (also sorta, not really)
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Give me the Pens over the Bruins any day.

Yeah to months of trades speculation and hb trades.
- Fakepartofme

nah.. not this year.. or at least not until July 1st...

this year its all Offer Sheets ALL THE TIME

- Atomic Wedgie

He already is. Didn't he score like 1 goal since the deadline? People still think he was like 4years ago. He's a shell of a player. People talking about getting poop like that have no business discussing hockey at all.

- Atomic Wedgie

He already has. He’s been degrading in usefulness for a couple years ago, and very harshly this year. He was useless in Nashville, a team that would’ve fit his style very well.. his contract will be Alexander Semin mixed with Milan Lucic taking a poop bad.

Give me the Pens over the Bruins any day.

(frank)in bite your tongue ass-hole

- bloatedmosquito

I hate the league for allowing it.

last season loss was really frustrating and felt undeserved.
this series loss though felt like it was expected.
almost as if leafs took a step backwards this season.

Give me the Pens over the Bruins any day.
- Feeling Glucky?

Give me Trotz over Babcock any day.

Omg you're gonna get called out.
- Fakepartofme

I just want to make sure he's alright. Seemed like he had a lot riding on the Leafs winning, no matter what.

Give me Trotz over Babcock any day.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Cooper may soon be available.

2020/21 season is when the fun really starts imo
