Keefe talking about this series being "borderline violent" says something about the playoff mindset.

The NHL should issue warnings for this kind of talk and instruct referees to have a very, very short leash.

I think that’s why he’s icing simmonds and Clifford in game 1.

Hopefully Clifford doesn’t cost us the game with taking a stupid penalty or major.

Hopefully when Perry tries to injure a star player on the first shift of the series he gets a face full of stick and glove that has him seeing little birdies. I don't care if there is a penalty TBH.

No doubt. He knows TBL is going to try to bully the Leafs and that's why the Leafs are loading up with a "heavier" lineup.

It's silly, but that's playoff hockey.

We're going to find out real soon if the NHL is willing to start calling obstruction, interference, and cross-checking in the post-season. I seriously doubt they will...

I haven’t done gin in awhile… how’s that one tasting?

I’m personally trying to decide if I should enjoy my pipe and likely have a nap this afternoon… the electrician is doing work today in the place we’re upgrading so I actually got day 1 of the playoffs off of work! Could be a good or a bad thing lol

Or…… this playoffs will be called like every other playoffs. Our guys up front are going to have to power through. Matthews has shown he doesn’t have to stand two feet from the goalie where he is most vulnerable to cross checks to score. If Tampa just wants to clog up the front of the net, fine. That makes it easier for the Leafs to maintain possession and decreases their possession time and scoring time. That trade off works great for the Habs, less so for Tampa.

And Leafs have one guy on each D pairing Boosh, dead Muzzin and Gio who aren’t afraid to use the body/lumber if there’s leeway to do so.

Leafs don’t need to be passive in this kind of series.

Oh Jesus, how did they not see that?

If it said 18 fairways, I’d be concerned. Calm down Leafs Nation

My million dollar idea for starting a business is to hire a bunch of 14 year old boys, and once you come up with corporate names and logos, you run it by my firm, and we point out the obvious flaws.

McDonald's would have renamed the McWrap.

My Quebec office would have vetoed the Toyota MR2.

Question for y'all, say I wanted to pay for a streaming package to watch the leafs games, is there one that doesn't black games out in the toronto region?

This was a very interesting (and surprising to me) comment from Keefe but I like it - a lot for a few reasons.

I feel like it puts the refs and league on notice to some degree by calling out what happens every playoff season with Keefe basically saying 'we finally realize that the rule book isn't the same in the playoffs and it's your fault since you clowns control it so now we will be forced to and are planning for the need to goon it up".

I think it also is putting Tampa on notice that if you want to try and bully us go ahead, Eff around and find out what happens we are ready. Again not what most team's perceive the Leafs as and perhaps will force some second sober thoughts before the dirty play or at least know what you dish out (Tampa) your getting back.
I do very much want to see Vasy get the exact same treatment Campbell does so if Perry does Perry like BS to Soupy someone needs to go do it to Vasy - having Clifford and Simmonds as options and both in tonight give the Leafs the ability to have an expendable piece who can go do that and get tossed.

It says Keefe is ready for a nasty, dirty playoff series and to me that means he has been trying to get his team to the same place. The push back physically when the Leafs got stomped by Tampa was not the same old same old Leafs and I hope he's been drilling it into his team that they need to be ready for every single playoff game to be that nasty and then some. The coach saying it should mean the team knows it and are ready for it.

Proof is in how they play I suppose but I'm looking forward to the game tonight a lot!

Anyone have an over/under on how many fights are in the game tonight? It'll be interesting to see if Fatty Patty Maroon will put his money where his mouth is and drop the mitts or not, you know Wayne Train wants to go him again.

Go Leafs Go!
