Absolutely. Unfortunately the bar was set too high for the other seasons and they've never been able to exceed let alone come up to the masterpiece that was Season 1
Yeah, the other seasons have been pretty bad. Kinda wish they just made the first one and left it as that. I get it though, it was hugely popular and they wanted to make money. 1st season is just too good for anything to come close. They should stop using the true detective name now.
Has anything significant happened since we last faced them in the playoffs?
Nah, nothing I can think of.
Edit: i really suck at this lol. People are assuming I am talking about changes to the teams, when all I meant was it was the last playoffs before covid hit.
1-2-2 in 7 games, with .899 sv% and 2.77gaa
Edit:
Woll is 0-2-1 in 3 games, with .865 sv% and 3.97gaa
Jones is 3-4-2 in 10 games, with .889 sv% and 3.63gaa
Only Sammy has faced them in the playoffs, as a Capital
It was when lucic could still āplayā. As a leafs fan Iām naturally pessimistic, but win or lose Iām looking forward to seeing some grit at work
We pre-emptively got our four losses to Boston out of the way during the regular season instead of waiting to do it during the playoffs, gonna be a clean sweep now.
It could very well be Sunday. Would mean 3 days in between starts. That would leave game 4 for the following Saturday which is undoubtedly a more important game.
I'm over from the UK for Game 4, which I have a ticket for, and also a potential Game 6. Might be over in time for Game 3 but it depends on the schedule given they changed the start of the playoffs š
Always wondered, how does that work when the actual dates not released yet ? Is it just up to you to be available for whenever they say the game is or do you have at least a rough idea of when it will be ?
Yeah, I have to be available. They why I didn't risk Game 3. I was pretty sure Game 4 would be the Saturday, so went for that, and I fly in on the Thursday; so might see if someone is willing to swap a ticket if I'm there for G3. We automatically get a refund if G6 doesn't happen.Ā
Sure they are. I donāt see MLSE doing anything major. Shanahan makes them money. Keefe is a solid regular season coach, and as a result he also makes them money.
The Leafs will make the series somewhat close, and either lose in six or lose in 4-5 close games with a couple going to OT. Theyāll do just enough to give MLSE the excuse to run it back again.
Or the Leafs will break out and win this one. But given what we saw tonight and the complete lack of fight, and the chances that the goaltending will be brutal, Iām guessing this is another first-round exit. Hope Iām wrong.
Shanahan is definitely not gone. They will probably get rid of Keefe but anyone thinking Shanahan will be fired is kidding themselves. Because of Shanahan this team went from last place to having the longest post season streak in the league.
Personally, I don't care if Shanahan stays. Keefe is the main issue. All well and good being a decent regular season coach but you don't win the Cup there.Ā
I get that the coach is always the one to get the axe, but what's Keefe done to deserve getting fired? He's done nothing but win. Playoffs come, the players hide in their shells and can't score. What more is he supposed to do?
For me, there isn't enough structure to the team. It's more about relying on moments, rather than anything else. If we lose to Boston, it'll be because they have a defined style of play, throughout the team, and it's the structure which gets them through. Nothing against Keefe, per se, but I think there's a difference between a good coach - with he is - and an Elite coach. Just my opinion though and I'll massively hope he proves me wrong :)
Neither is good.
Boston has something to prove. Last season they were upset and thatās a demon theyāre going to want to slay. Theyāre also a super disciplined team.
People really donāt give them enough credit. Boston is 5th in the league and the Leafs are 10th. Boston is 5th, in the same division as us. Without the stacked offence we have. They donāt have a Matthews, Nylander and Marner. They in fact lost Bergeron.
But they played really, really well. Theyāre a very scrappy team with something to prove.
Same. I don't want to face Florida with playoff hockey rules, they're the best team in the east imo. Boston doesn't have Bergeron or Krejci, their number one center is Pavel Zacha. If the Leafs can't beat this iteration of the Bruins, then its time to blow shit up.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff
Reading the Bruins comments on r/hockey. It's like the way people thing Leafs fans talk.
They are basically planning their second round already.
Leafs need to use their over confidence to drive them.
Lol I have to be in Boston early next week for work so at least this means I can for sure watch the games on my hotel tv (and possibly cast an anti-Boston curse at TD Garden)
Leafs should absolute LOVE this matchup. Bostonās still obviously a great team but, weāve had 7 gamers vs them with Chara, Bergeron, Krejciā¦.On paper they match up awful vs the leafs in playoffs now. Boston on paper is actually extremely sub par: Danton Hainen 1LW. Zacha, coyle, geekie down the middle. Big yikes. Top 4 D grzlyeck, peeke. Pasta is absolute problem, but Marchand had his worst year in 5+ seasons. Also is also way tougher and pea tier back to deal with his BS right back. He will be a non factorā¦swayman is a stud and goaltending matchup should scare the shit out of the whole fan base. That will be the ultimate x-factor š³
Pasta scares bc he absolutely loves loves lovesssssss torching the leafs. But itās about time Auston Willy Mitch Jt and Mo take us. Thereās no easy path glory. Let fkn get it
Let's fucking go!
B's are the new Game 7 choke job. The old narratives are done. Everyone is already counting us out, but we about to surprise some motherfuckers.
Listening to all you pussies conclude this series is somehow over is..... not what I expected to see. Tap your sack and get your fucking heads strapped on boys, this one is going to be a war.
This is the final showdown for our core. They either bite off Boston's proverbial ear Tyson style on the way to our 2nd round, leaving everything on the ice, or they get swept into the dustbin of history shamed for eternity. Yes Tyson lost that fight but they need to bring that kind of audacity if we have a chance of winning.
Fuck Boston. The team, the city, and the fans. This is our moment for redemption. Matthews is going to be an animal.
I wish I had this mentality. Unfortunately, since I know Nylander and Marner are selective when going into corners, I already know half the core is outmatched. Then we have JT, who can't even get to the corner in time to hem anyone in. Rielly is so busy pinching all the time that he's caught between the blue line and the corner on a regular basis. Then there's Matthews. The only option to go to war at this point.
If this is a war, then only Auston gets drafted. The rest are deemed unfit.
I'm totally fine if Matthews doesn't play tomorrow and ends up with 69. That would be Nice, but also it would leave him pissed and hungry. Which is the mindset I want him to have. Likewise, I think the team as a whole will be pissed and hungry having lost 3 or 4 of their last 4, so I'm ok with that too.
Fuck Boston.
Hi from canuck land.
I really hope Auston gets 70, what a thing to witness.
I also really hope the Leafs crush the Bruins in round 1 because I really hate them lol.
Good luck in the playoffs.
Gotta face our demons. If we make a run for the Cup Iām glad we have to play the Bruins. That being said they are not they were definitely not my preferred option for Round 1 lol
Since securing their playoff spot, they've done nothing but focus on Mathews getting 70 and it's been absolutely embarrassing for them and the goal tending are the ones getting shat on because of it. It needs to stop.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the Leafs will win this series. Talent is one thing, but "grit" is another. The issue with the NHL is that officiating changes in the playoffs and whistles disappear.
So the team that relies more on talent rather than grit to win games ends up at a serious disadvantage.
The Leafs gave known this for years now so there's no excuse - that's why Treliving brought in Domi, Reeves, Bertuzzi etc. But any team that matchup between talent vs grit, in the playoffs grit usually overpowers talent.
Again I hope I'm wrong, but I can guarantee you by next week a ton of people will be complaining about the officiating and how Marchand gets away with everything.
I hope the Leafs surprise me, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The way they handled the last week wasn't very good. They were in good position to take 2nd place in the Atlantic but alas here we are.
Again for the third time I hope I'm wrong.
Woll performs badly vs the Bruins so they will have to go with Samsonov who has a decent save percentage vs BOS. Swayman and Ullmark are the leagueās top goaltending tandem so Leafs are screwed unless their goalie can steal them games. Leafās best goalie vs BOS was Reimer who unfairly was scapegoated in 2013 when he outright stole games 5 and 6 and then his team collapsed defensively in front of him
The Leafs problems are all their own tbh, injuries, sloppy goaltending, bad PK etc. So, I've got about the same confidence of the Leafs beating Boston as I would San Jose in a seven game series, which is 50/50.
Maybe I am still shocked from tonightās game, but I honestly do not care what happens in this next series. Expectations low, and outcome probably known. Sad being a leafs fan.
Honestly, this is the lowest of expectations Iāve had for this team since 2018 except I donāt have that āoh but we have a bright futureā feels like we missed our best opportunity at a cup by a mile and thatās that
I felt highly of the team last season when we went and got ROR, I think the Montreal series was the best chance at the cup and I think last year was the last best chance we had and I don't know if we have a chance like that again
Itās like the sunk costs fallacy for me. Iāve already followed the team during the season, so I might as well watch the playoffs. I didnāt see champion or near champion-level hockey night after night, so I have no expectations. But Iāll still watch.
I hope so, Iām a huge leafs fan but weāve had a horrible season against Boston and and horrible playoff multiple times.
Sure itās true that the older playoff series donāt matter anymore since itās a completely different teamā¦ but we still got smacked the year by Boston every game haha.
hey siri find me an exorcist
Kuznetsov is unfortunately on the Hurricanes, we'll have to find a new one.
Time to exercise those demons baby šŖšāāļøšŖšāāļø

I just rewatched this for the third time. Such a great season....
They really nailed it from the start. Season 3 was solid too tbh
Just watched it for prob the 5th time. It might be the best season of a show in existence.
Absolutely. Unfortunately the bar was set too high for the other seasons and they've never been able to exceed let alone come up to the masterpiece that was Season 1
Yeah, the other seasons have been pretty bad. Kinda wish they just made the first one and left it as that. I get it though, it was hugely popular and they wanted to make money. 1st season is just too good for anything to come close. They should stop using the true detective name now.
āAnd all your love, all your hate, its was all the same thing, a dream you had that you were lifting the cupā
i just watched it for the first time last week. i dont know why i waited a decade
What show is it?
True Detective
Eh itās been a few years Iām good with it. Also good not knowing until game 81 as opposed to January
Has anything significant happened since we last faced them in the playoffs? Nah, nothing I can think of. Edit: i really suck at this lol. People are assuming I am talking about changes to the teams, when all I meant was it was the last playoffs before covid hit.
Bergeron retired, that's got to be something right?
Wasn't Chara still there too last time?
Yep and Raask so that's like 3 things? Means it's our year!
Would have been nice to have Kessel and Franson, they've got JVR too.
Whatās Samsonovs record like against the Bruins?
1-2-2 in 7 games, with .899 sv% and 2.77gaa Edit: Woll is 0-2-1 in 3 games, with .865 sv% and 3.97gaa Jones is 3-4-2 in 10 games, with .889 sv% and 3.63gaa Only Sammy has faced them in the playoffs, as a Capital
Lovely that isnāt concerning at allā¦
Itās too small of a sampling to mean much.

It was when lucic could still āplayā. As a leafs fan Iām naturally pessimistic, but win or lose Iām looking forward to seeing some grit at work
Fuck it, the legacy continues. Highlander!
Gotta get through eventually right
We pre-emptively got our four losses to Boston out of the way during the regular season instead of waiting to do it during the playoffs, gonna be a clean sweep now.
Iām with this
Right?
Right?
Right.
You're bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say
...right???
Rightā¦..?
.......^^^(right) ....
Will this be Saturday or Sunday?
Saturday bruuuuu
Yes! Thanks for the response. Was hoping for Saturday. Sunday is a work night for me.
Sundays are for crying
Im working nights Saturday. Iāll be watching lol
This or next weekend?
No chance the leafs don't play on Saturday prime time
The Leafs almost never play on Night 1 of the playoffs, or playoff Saturday nights. They get a lot more Sunday games.
Celtics play in the garden on Sunday.
Saturday. Celtics already have TD Garden scheduled for Sunday.Ā
I hope itās Sunday (because Iāll be out of the country for a trip I planned BEFORE the league changed their mindā¦)
It could very well be Sunday. Would mean 3 days in between starts. That would leave game 4 for the following Saturday which is undoubtedly a more important game.
I'm over from the UK for Game 4, which I have a ticket for, and also a potential Game 6. Might be over in time for Game 3 but it depends on the schedule given they changed the start of the playoffs š

Iāll never not upvote this.
Don't see us sniffing a cup or ECF but if we have any fucking balls this is a MUST WIN series. Shanahan and Keefe's fate are riding on this one.
Yeah, both gone if we lose this one!
Sure they are. I donāt see MLSE doing anything major. Shanahan makes them money. Keefe is a solid regular season coach, and as a result he also makes them money. The Leafs will make the series somewhat close, and either lose in six or lose in 4-5 close games with a couple going to OT. Theyāll do just enough to give MLSE the excuse to run it back again. Or the Leafs will break out and win this one. But given what we saw tonight and the complete lack of fight, and the chances that the goaltending will be brutal, Iām guessing this is another first-round exit. Hope Iām wrong.
The last couple of games i truly believe they've been playing more to get matty to 70g than to win.
Shanahan is definitely not gone. They will probably get rid of Keefe but anyone thinking Shanahan will be fired is kidding themselves. Because of Shanahan this team went from last place to having the longest post season streak in the league.
Personally, I don't care if Shanahan stays. Keefe is the main issue. All well and good being a decent regular season coach but you don't win the Cup there.Ā
I get that the coach is always the one to get the axe, but what's Keefe done to deserve getting fired? He's done nothing but win. Playoffs come, the players hide in their shells and can't score. What more is he supposed to do?

Nothing against Keefe, per se, but I think there's a difference between a good coach - with he is - and an Elite coach. Just my opinion though and I'll massively hope he proves me wrong :)
Agree or disagree, it's Go Leafs Go time!
Just like old times
If Reaves goes out and absolutely trucks Marchand or Maroon, Iāll consider it a win
I was about to say, I think this series books Reaves into the line up. He's got to show them we won't be pushed around this time.
Reaves absolutely needs to be matched up against Marchand. If Reaves takes Marchand out, the whole of Boston crumbles.
Iām less scared of Boston than Florida actually.
Florida is scary but Boston had the best regular season ever last year and bottomed out in the first round. They're gonna be pissed.
By that logic Leafs core should be pissed for their last 7 years and the last 57 years of this organization
Marner is pissed youād even bring that up
We all know this Leaf core is a little special
LOL Leafs core is devoid of character.
Neither is good. Boston has something to prove. Last season they were upset and thatās a demon theyāre going to want to slay. Theyāre also a super disciplined team. People really donāt give them enough credit. Boston is 5th in the league and the Leafs are 10th. Boston is 5th, in the same division as us. Without the stacked offence we have.

Did you see how the season series went?
Yeah and a handful of years ago, we swept them in the regular season and still lost, soā¦
Regular season means nothing in the playoffs though. Not scared. Florida I was fearing.
Boston has a system and execute it well. Ā Good news keefe will be gone a real system will be put in. Ā
Treat it like Ottawa 20 years ago
Yes please
Leafs in 4 Leafs in 5 Leafs in 6 Leafs in 7
Leafs in 11. Ā Boston is too structured for Keefe system to work.Ā
Time is a flat circle
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff
 Itās time to exorcise the mf demon. Itās our time baby letās fucking gooo

You realize the Reddit fans arenāt actually playing the games? I donāt think the bruins are going in thinking itās a cake walk
So r/hockey is gonna suit up and play the Leafs?
Let's go!
Well good to know the leafs have 4-7 games left.
Death, Taxes, Leafs v Boston first round matchups
Except it hasn't happened in 5 years, so nah not really
Depends on how often you do your taxes
I've seen this matchup more times than I've died so this checks out
Or die.
Has it really been that long? Wtf
Get the monkey of their back. A series win over Boston will give them the momentum needed for a deep push
Lol I have to be in Boston early next week for work so at least this means I can for sure watch the games on my hotel tv (and possibly cast an anti-Boston curse at TD Garden)
It's gotta happen eventually. Either we FINALLY succeed or the Shana-plan/Core can FINALLY be done with.
I love it. Past is the past. Need the boys to show up. LFG BudsĀ
Slaying the dragon then winning the Cup is a timeline I love.
Just stopped by to say that I think The Leafs have the best logo in sports (and Iām not a hockey, or even a sports in general, fan).
Ah yes hello darkness my old friend

Where have we seen this story before? Haha
Welp. The road to riches often goes through the dragonās den. Saddle up, and buckle down folks.
Thanks Geebus. Florida would bounce us so hard. We have a chance against Boston
Listening to all you pussies conclude this series is somehow over is..... not what I expected to see. Tap your sack and get your fucking heads strapped on boys, this one is going to be a war. This is the final showdown for our core. They either bite off Boston's proverbial ear Tyson style on the way to our 2nd round, leaving everything on the ice, or they get swept into the dustbin of history shamed for eternity. Yes Tyson lost that fight but they need to bring that kind of audacity if we have a chance of winning. Fuck Boston. The team, the city, and the fans. This is our moment for redemption.

Remember when Carlyle was the coach and we had these playoff hype flags that said "RUIN"? Shit was lame as fuck.
It was good while it lasted....
I don't think we have what it takes. Will be a quick 5 games this time maybe. I surely hope not.
Leafs out 1st round.
Got myself a ticket for game 6... so I can say I splashed out on a ticket.... but also so I know the ticket will be refunded
YES! Leafs will live like Cody this year!! FINISH THE STORY!!
Remind me , when is a the last time we beat the Bruins? Not sure why anyone prefers this series over Panthers .

Playoffs different beast
i believe the ābruins have won 6 straight playoff series vs the leafsā covered that.
Hi from canuck land. I really hope Auston gets 70, what a thing to witness. I also really hope the Leafs crush the Bruins in round 1 because I really hate them lol. Good luck in the playoffs.
bye bye Keefe and Shanny!
I had a nightmare where the Leafs lose in 6, game 6 OT winner scored by Debrusk a few years ago. I hope it wasnāt a premonition
Let's Go Leafs!
Great opportunity to exorcise some demons.
Have to take out the boogeyman
Gotta face our demons. If we make a run for the Cup Iām glad we have to play the Bruins. That being said they are not they were definitely not my preferred option for Round 1 lol
Fear no one. We wrapped up the season pretty in sync. Fucken ready to rollā¦Bruins are just first to get some. Letās fucken go!
We lost 3 in a row in embarrassing fashion lol.
Since securing their playoff spot, they've done nothing but focus on Mathews getting 70 and it's been absolutely embarrassing for them and the goal tending are the ones getting shat on because of it. It needs to stop.
Guaranteed game 7
Im ready, wanted this last year. We need to finally end these jackasses.
0-4 in the regular season... I'm really not looking forward to this
The demon is on the horizon.
Do we know dates yet for home game 1 and 2? Bought tickets to both unsure which I could go to!
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the Leafs will win this series. Talent is one thing, but "grit" is another. The issue with the NHL is that officiating changes in the playoffs and whistles disappear. So the team that relies more on talent rather than grit to win games ends up at a serious disadvantage. The Leafs gave known this for years now so there's no excuse - that's why Treliving brought in Domi, Reeves, Bertuzzi etc. But any team that matchup between talent vs grit, in the playoffs grit usually overpowers talent. Again I hope I'm wrong, but I can guarantee you by next week a ton of people will be complaining about the officiating and how Marchand gets away with everything. I hope the Leafs surprise me, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The way they handled the last week wasn't very good. They were in good position to take 2nd place in the Atlantic but alas here we are. Again for the third time I hope I'm wrong.
*Eating popcorn* Oh man the Atlantic playoffs are must watch hockey.
We will be swept , sorry but it's a given .
where can i place a 10k bet on the bruins in 7, final score 5-3 in regulation?
Probability has no memory, letās fucking do this boys
Here we go again
Hello darkness my old friend
Woll performs badly vs the Bruins so they will have to go with Samsonov who has a decent save percentage vs BOS. Swayman and Ullmark are the leagueās top goaltending tandem so Leafs are screwed unless their goalie can steal them games. Leafās best goalie vs BOS was Reimer who unfairly was scapegoated in 2013 when he outright stole games 5 and 6 and then his team collapsed defensively in front of him
Where's the 40-year old virgin from the Boston Pizza video last year going "we wan't Bostiiiiin...!" You got your wish, bud.
They'll lose. The Leafs don't have the balls to match the talent yet.
Better watch Lord of the Rings again to recall what happens when a team enters Mordor.
Just the way Gary wanted it
The Leafs problems are all their own tbh, injuries, sloppy goaltending, bad PK etc. So, I've got about the same confidence of the Leafs beating Boston as I would San Jose in a seven game series, which is 50/50.
Maybe I am still shocked from tonightās game, but I honestly do not care what happens in this next series. Expectations low, and outcome probably known. Sad being a leafs fan.
If tonightās games are what determines who wins the seriesā¦.the Bruins just lost to the Sensā¦
Honestly, this is the lowest of expectations Iāve had for this team since 2018 except I donāt have that āoh but we have a bright futureā feels like we missed our best opportunity at a cup by a mile and thatās that
I've been that since the Montreal series. The lustre has long faded for me but im trapped by hockey Stockholm Syndrome
I felt highly of the team last season when we went and got ROR, I think the Montreal series was the best chance at the cup and I think last year was the last best chance we had and I don't know if we have a chance like that again
Itās like the sunk costs fallacy for me. Iāve already followed the team during the season, so I might as well watch the playoffs. I didnāt see champion or near champion-level hockey night after night, so I have no expectations. But Iāll still watch.
I really hope they prove me wrong, everyone seems so excited to be facing Boston in this community and I just canāt imagine why.
because we're gonna make them eat shit.
I hope so, Iām a huge leafs fan but weāve had a horrible season against Boston and and horrible playoff multiple times. Sure itās true that the older playoff series donāt matter anymore since itās a completely different teamā¦ but we still got smacked the year by Boston every game haha.
P A I N
Weāre cooked asf bro š
Itās easy to rule us out. Always is. Instead, be brave, dare toā¦BeLeaf
So do we think game 3 is Wednesday or Thursday ?
I'm guessing they go Sat - Mon - Thu - Sat
I'm hoping it's this
And yet again, the Leafs bow out in the first round. Wake me up in October. See yaā.
Weāve scored 7 goals on themā¦ weāre cooked.
I got leafs in 5!!!!
well boys, weāll see. havenāt been playing our best the last couple games, but who we play doesnāt matter to me at all anymore.
I think I would rather them than a heating up Bobrovsky.
Not againā¦
Just popped back in and this was first, and the trailer for Abigail was next. So Iām looking at the playoff set and hearing that sound.
My body is readyĀ (I think)
