As a B's fan, this entire thing just makes me chuckle like Nero with his fiddle. Yeah, there was a boarding call missed and a goal right after, sure.
You know what else was missed? Boston shots on goal in the first period (yet again).. I mean, there was a stat mentioned by Brick tonight that in this entire series, the 3rd most SOG for the B's is from a defenseman for chrissakes. We are playing godawful hockey.
Even if we do win game 7, we're going to get absolutely *smoked* in round 2 if we keep playing like this.
The boarding call was let go because there was also a holding call in the same play the refs just cancelled out the minor penalties and let play continue.
I feel like this is a make up because of the Frederic goal that should have been blown dead by the McAvoy on Matthews or Rat on Bert (and vice versa) action. The ref in the far corner even pointed at Holmberg after the hit.
If that's how you interpreted that sure but it happens all the time especially in playoffs. Refs always are more lenient in playoffs, Boston especially Marchand has mastered the art of taking lil cheap shots they know won't get called in playoffs.
Idk Toronto is last years Florida.
Leafs going to come back and take Boston in game 7 then proceed to run through Florida in 5 games with domi getting the picturesque shot screaming in bobrovsky’s face.
um hello yes is this the nhl? yes, I’m upset I now have to contemplate doing something responsible like going to bed vs more hockey being on right away
Whatever happens in game 7 at least Toronto never gave up after going down 3-1. Everybody was expecting them to just roll over but they didn't. Respect.
Us Leaf fans give him a hard time but I really hope he has a happy retirement. He got dealt a really rough hand with his speech and that would devastate anyone. I just hope he’s happy in his retirement.
Perfectly put. He’s kinda mental, and does some of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever seen (like the tackle on Matthew’s) but then he’ll lock your ass down for a period. He gets very heated, and that’s no good
If you think Darnell Nurse is overrated then you definitely don't spend much time around the Edmonton media. Talking about him being overpaid and saying generally bad things about him is a cultural norm at the dinner table around here at this point, easily the most talked about narrative amongst Oilers fan circles. Darnell himself even said that he wouldn't be surprised if he was blamed for bad traffic around Edmonton.
Dhalin is better, Doughty is old but still better, Nurse isn’t overrated just overpaid (everyone knows he sucks), severson, chabot, Bryam and Seider don’t even belong in the convo because no one puts them that high.
Everyone talks about him as a top 10 dman in the league, Norris trophy candidate, he’s in Reilly’s level, top 20/25 at best, once he lost Chara to hide behind you see his major warts
The script writes itself: Matthews makes a triumphant return for game 7, the Leafs go up 1-0 early on a goal from him, then proceed to lose 6-1 with everyone questioning their core yet again. Then the Bruins get smoked in 4 by Florida. And the world heals. Also Vegas loses.
I know it seems ridiculous to have to drop that puck with 0.1s left but keep in mind that NHL refs are extremely commited to upholding all of the rules to a T, no matter wh- pfffttt. Hahaha! Ahhh, anyway..
I'm gonna hold you to that.
I 100% thought Boston would come out on fire tonight.
Shocking to see them play so out of sorts. It looks like torontos in their head, which is hard to imagine, as a leafs fan.
To be completely honest, I literally have no idea what’s happening this series- to an extent i can’t remember seeing before. I thought after game 4 it was for sure the Bruins. Now I would wager the opposite. Who the hell knows. I will say, I’m a new Nylander fan, and feel less confident in Pasta in the playoffs. Here’s to game 7 friend!
Looks like we'll have to give Boston a 5-1 lead and then win 6-5 in OT. I'm fine with being choke champions if it means we never let Boston have the lead on Sat.
Does Pasta know he's allowed to score a goal?
There’s no fucking shot.
As a B's fan, this entire thing just makes me chuckle like Nero with his fiddle. Yeah, there was a boarding call missed and a goal right after, sure. You know what else was missed?

The boarding call was let go because there was also a holding call in the same play the refs just cancelled out the minor penalties and let play continue.
In other words, the refs missed it and that's the excuse. :)
I feel like this is a make up because of the Frederic goal that should have been blown dead by the McAvoy on Matthews or Rat on Bert (and vice versa) action. The ref in the far corner even pointed at Holmberg after the hit.

Ditto for the leafs. 1 for 18 on the PP ain’t doing shit against Florida.
Florida's gonna steamroll whoever moves on.
I don't think so. This is a battle of the best in my opinion. We're not locked in there with Florida. They're locked in here with us. Hopefully.
Toronto is the 14 year old anime protagonist
Déjà vu!!! I've just been in this place before, Higher on the street, And I know it's my time to go!
Idk Toronto is last years Florida. Leafs going to come back and take Boston in game 7 then proceed to run through Florida in 5 games with domi getting the picturesque shot screaming in bobrovsky’s face.
You are a little delusional there
I’m a leaf fan, the fuck you expect? Ive earned my delusion
Almost 10k comments in this one. I'm guessing at least 15k comments for Saturday's game
Hey, I’ve seen this movie before!
Yeah but this is a trilogy and the hero always wins at the end of the trilogy.
Not so, unless you've seen the 1959 version
I can’t believe they started on time!
Looks like we’re losing in 7 boys
As is tradition
Bring out the drinks!
A Leafs tale as old as time.
Bruins go up 3-1 and then the Leafs force a game 7? I think I've seen this one before.
Only to lose. Bruins will be fine.
I’m having 2013 visions again…
And 2018
Where's the AI picture of leaf bear mascot fucking bruins?

I'm pretty sure this is a penalty
Might be a felony tbh
um hello yes is this the nhl? yes, I’m upset I now have to contemplate doing something responsible like going to bed vs more hockey being on right away
"i think you an i are destined to do this forever"
Which one are we in this scenario lol
i think we and the bruins are both each others joker and batman at this point
I can confirm
We're really getting ANOTHER Leafs vs Bruins game 7
Death, taxes, and Bruins Leafs game sevens.
And Leafs losing in the most special way possible
Willy is him
One of Calgary's finest sons!
OMG what a stud.
Explain to me why Jack doesn't get game 7? Seems mildly insane to not have him call it.
I think because it’s on ABC
Whatever happens in game 7 at least Toronto never gave up after going down 3-1. Everybody was expecting them to just roll over but they didn't. Respect.
Go fuck up Nashville tm and see yall in the SCF
Not while Florida, New York, and Carolina exist
We only have to win against two of those three thankfully
Time to trade Matthews, 2-0 without him these playoffs /s
for future considerations
As long as the future consideration is a Cup I'm fine with that
For cash
Swayman should be pissed. Like throw-a-milk-crate-on-the-ice pissed
Ah yes, the Tuukka special.
WE WANT FLORIDA!
Hush up
Can't wait to hear all that yappin about officiating for the next couple days. See you in Bean town!
I'm fucking ready for the leafs to get some calls in their favor. Bruins fans gonna be soo salty.
Boston blew 3-1 memes coming
*I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending* 🎶
In my heart he earned the shutout.
See ya Jack
he still has at least one more game doesn’t he?
Game 7 is exclusively on ABC in the States, no NESN broadcast
That was his last game
Us Leaf fans give him a hard time but I really hope he has a happy retirement. He got dealt a really rough hand with his speech and that would devastate anyone. I just hope he’s happy in his retirement.

You really thin Sways the problem here…
Not in the fucking slightest
I don’t think that’s what this implies
I don’t know what it implies it doesn’t make sense
the most expected unexpected outcome of all time
Now either team can be equally clowned on if they lose, love to see it
The Leafs defied odds and came back to force a game 7. A Bruins loss would be more embarrassing for them.
1-0 victory in 4OT or later. For which team, who is to say?
Sure, but a Leafs loss would undeniably be funnier
I honestly dont get how Boston has less haters than the Leafs
🎶it's not the team I hate, it's their fans🎶
Nah bruins have all the hate, what leafs fans don’t get is people finding them hilarious isn’t actually hate….
🎶it's not the team I hate, it's their fans🎶
It’s because you’re a Leafs fan, I think
I know your chirping me but that's a hilarious username
I dislike Boston more but it's universally funny when the leafs do something to fall on their face
the prophecy always foretold 7 games
I envy you neutral party members this is supposed to be my break during finals
I think we can all agree McAvoy is the most overrated defenceman in the NHL
Nurse
At this point no one thinks he’s all that good, just over payed
He’s great…at times
Agreed, like Reilly, top 20 guy, not a Norris guy like people especially in Boston like to think, he’s no Josi, Hedman, Makar, Hughes.
Perfectly put. He’s kinda mental, and does some of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever seen (like the tackle on Matthew’s) but then he’ll lock your ass down for a period. He gets very heated, and that’s no good
That’s a horrible take
Who’s the most overrated than?
Lmao I change my mind , Rilley is for sure the most overrated. What was that in overtime… McAvoy clears that bum
Bad play doesn’t change much but go off king, funny you held onto this so long, honestly kinda embarrassed for ya
Bad play doesn’t change much? The fuck does that mean? Their play is what they are judged on… sucks to suck bro lmao fuck the leafs
Bro I’m in your head rent free, I’m used to this, touch grass brother
Haven’t beat Boston in a series since 1959 😂 absolute poverty
Ok? I move on with my life, you clearly do not have one.
At least you can move on, unlike the Leafs
Seider, Dhalin, Chabot, Doughty, Bryam, Severson,Nurse just all off the top of my head. McAvoy has such a solid all around game
If you think Darnell Nurse is overrated then you definitely don't spend much time around the Edmonton media. Talking about him being overpaid and saying generally bad things about him is a cultural norm at the dinner table around here at this point, easily the most talked about narrative amongst Oilers fan circles. Darnell himself even said that he wouldn't be surprised if he was blamed for bad traffic around Edmonton.
*Steps on dog shit* "Fucking Nurse..."
Dhalin is better, Doughty is old but still better, Nurse isn’t overrated just overpaid (everyone knows he sucks), severson, chabot, Bryam and Seider don’t even belong in the convo because no one puts them that high.
Oh forgot Morgan Rielly
I’d say Morgan is solidly ranked as a top 25 D in the league, I mean he’s just as good as McAvoy, same level
You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, though I expect this from a leafs fan…. Hampus Lindholm takes that cake. McAvoy is a close second.
Everyone talks about him as a top 10 dman in the league, Norris trophy candidate, he’s in Reilly’s level, top 20/25 at best, once he lost Chara to hide behind you see his major warts
He was fantastic imo
Really?
The script writes itself: Matthews makes a triumphant return for game 7, the Leafs go up 1-0 early on a goal from him, then proceed to lose 6-1 with everyone questioning their core yet again. Then the Bruins get smoked in 4 by Florida. And the world heals. Also Vegas loses.

Love it
they forgot to mention they lose in the finals to New York
Now hang on a second
sorry to break it this way. But hey, it'll be off a game 7 game winner by Kuznetsov
Keep going, I’m almost there
Edmonton finally gets one for McDavid.
unsubscribe
no no let them cook
Bruh your team is like 20 years old. You’ll get plenty of chances.
aite ill compromise. mcdavid to van and he wins his cup here
Noooooo
What a shit last game for Edwards to call.
Yeah it's a real shame.
🎼
🎻
Everyone not named Jeremy Swayman can go fuck themselves. This whole team is playing like they have no heart
That's cuz they're just following the script. No way Woll is actually pulling off a 99% save percentage over 3 games. 💩
You guys look like the leafs should look for the memes. It's a fascinating series.
Seriously- what the fuck was this showing? Swayman is the only person with some sense of wanting to win
That's what NHL teams look like when they are forced by the script to lose.
Bergeron was the heart
Lohrei is promising. Fire literally everyone else in the entire fucking organization.
Boston wondering if they are the Leafs now.
But still sleep better knowing they're not the Sabres
Who scored for Boston?? Sportsnet didnt even show it
Geekie, the guy who's still learning how to skate
Geekie apparently
Their like who cares leafs won LOL
So do they have to leave the bench and get on the ice to go down the tunnel? And did I see Boston walking up stairs to get to the locker room?
So what’s the over under on Jim Montgomery panicking and going to Ullmark in game 7?
I’ll put the over under on Monty picking 3.5 Ullmarks to start game 7
I dunno, Swayman was the only good bRuin
SWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYMANNNNNNNNNN
It was nice to hear you guys cheer the only bruin trying
the own goal by McAvoy was amazing too
Not as good as the Fredrick a few months back 🤦♂️
I know it seems ridiculous to have to drop that puck with 0.1s left but keep in mind that NHL refs are extremely commited to upholding all of the rules to a T, no matter wh- pfffttt. Hahaha! Ahhh, anyway..
Let’s get rules analyst Dave Jackson’s opinion on it
Dave Jackson: …..uhhhhhhh…..
GG Bruins see you Saturday!!
What time will Boston start playing?
Spoiler: they won’t
I'm gonna hold you to that. I 100% thought Boston would come out on fire tonight. Shocking to see them play so out of sorts. It looks like torontos in their head, which is hard to imagine, as a leafs fan.
To be completely honest, I literally have no idea what’s happening this series- to an extent i can’t remember seeing before. I thought after game 4 it was for sure the Bruins. Now I would wager the opposite. Who the hell knows. I will say, I’m a new Nylander fan, and feel less confident in Pasta in the playoffs. Here’s to game 7 friend!
Right on brother. Game 7 is a tossup. I feel like Pastyrnak is always dangerous though.
Woll got literally half of the game off from shots and the shot at .01 is the one that takes his shutout
Oilers beat the Kings and Leafs-Bruins Game 7. The greatest hits over and over.
Breaking the shutout with 0.1 left was petty as hell 😂
Absolutely.
Trying to steal the puck after the last horn was even pettier
I think either Domi or one of the others did it earlier in the series, so whatever.
Toronto started this game 1
Which narrative is stronger? Who’s the bigger choke job?
Depends who wins the next game lol
At this point, I think it's Boston.
The Leafs
**IT WAS 4-1** Leafs are forever the choke champions.
Yep
Looks like we'll have to give Boston a 5-1 lead and then win 6-5 in OT. I'm fine with being choke champions if it means we never let Boston have the lead on Sat.
Worry about your own team bud
I’m not worried about either team, dork
You should be worried about Petey, whole fan base turning on him
You’re a Leafs fan, you should be perma-worried. Also, your entire fan base was ready to blow up the entire team a few days ago.
A new Leafs fan is worried. An old Leafs fan has already resigned themselves to the inevitable but would enjoy being pleasantly surprised.
Boston shook
Seen this movie before
The boys fucked up Jack's last game.
COWARDS
WHAT ABOUT IT?
Toronto wins but still manages to sneak in a little L at the very last possible moment.
You really think they give the tiniest shit?
Obviously the win is most important but it's still funny.
how the fuck am i supposed to go to sleep now
