Leafs need a W to tie series 2-2 if not 3-1 will be a nail in coffin. What LA Kings go down to defeat in 4 straight!!! All close games though. What Ducks go down 4 straight !!! They were outplayed in at least 2-4 games. Unreal. Old legs. Other good series going on. Sorry but not cheering for Jets or Leafs.
Got so much respect on Vegas Knights in how they have played all year & in the round 1. They just work hard skate hard & just go go go in the defence or offence. They just are always skating & not standing around letting the play come to them.
They should get by the Sharks in 5-6 games is my guess. Will the Leafs get by Boston? Good chance.

A bit early to be indulging in the wine don't you think ?

A bit early to be indulging in the wine don't you think ?

Read this after the Leaf loss tonight. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!! Had to laugh at your post FA.
Guess as it turns out you are right.
But hockey does hold many surprises. I'm 63 yrs old & the NHL play offs has amazed  me.
Was it LA Kings down in series more than once down 3 games to zero & they climbed back to win the series & go on to win the Cup.
Boston just may get soft headed & think it's in the bag but the Leafs get some goals & W's & gain the momentum. Then suddenly the Bruins panic & Leafs can not do anything wrong.
For the Leafs it's play one period at a time & climb back into the series.
That goal by Marchant in the 2nd period was sweet though.
As long as the Leafs skate hard anything can happen.

The Leafs will be trading in their hockey sticks for golf clubs in a few days. A few might even trade in their sticks for badminton racquets to join the Leaf advisor in a game or two. Speaking of the advisor, where is he ? Must be busy planning their annual parade.

Winnipeg Jets advances to the 2nd round following a 5-0 shutout over the Wild. Go Jets !

[arimaBOATER]

Jets look like an on fire team at the moment. They have a lot of good hockey players but can they mentally keep strong.
As the roar gets louder by the fans & pressure builds some teams just so hyped up they can't get a good sleep & their game goes "south". Burn out mentally. If Jets can just enjoy the moment & play as they are doing they just may make a good push right into the finals.
Look at the goaltending tonight also. Jets got a great performance as did Avs & Flyers. Nashville had all sorts of good chances but got only 1 goal.
Very exciting hockey as the games mean so much. Lose 4 & ya go home.
Leafs better come up with their best game. Boston is the new enemy of the Leafs. Years ago it was the Canadians. Boston just seems to get under the Leafs skins somehow. Should be a good game on Sat.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Leafs playing super including Anderson the stopper.
Leafs go up 4-1 in the 2nd period. Oh no 4-1 !!!
Remember 2013 Leafs up 4-1 in the 3rd & lose da gamo!!!!
Boston scores now 4-2
5th penalty against Leafs in the 2nd period with not much time to go in the 2nd period.
Ok it 's going to the 3rd period with Leafs up 4-2 in goals.
Can they hang on?
Leafs should be so happy to be up by 2 goals but if Boston keeps getting power plays they are going to tie this game up. Refs seem to see the Leafs penalties but totally blind when Boston commits trips hooking cross checks roughing on & on...
Come on Leafs you can win this game.
No way should the Leafs get kicked out after 5 games. Were they not favoured to win Lord Stanley in 2017 by some experts ? If they lose tonight in 5 it will be a big big disappointment. And with at one point 4-1 lead.
Let's see what the third period brings. Prediction: Leafs will win game this game 5.
They are a better team than 2013. Better coached better everything.
Edit in:3rd period & another penalty to Leafs. Anderson makes lots of good saves.
Penalty kill.
Boston scores again!!! What oh no not again.
4-3 lots of time left. Leafs need a goal bad.
Edit in: Toronto Maple Leafs win. Anderson played great !!!! Leafs hold on & win.
Now it's 3-2 in games. Leafs now need a big win at home to make it 3-3. Anything can happen in a game 7.  Bet Chris was really yelling it up with the early Leaf goals but had high blood pressure as Boston took over the game with the help of the refs???goal goal ...4-3 & poor Chris must of really had wet under arms. But a win is a win & they held on. Do or die game. Leafs do-ed not died. Ha! Congrads to Leafs. & Chris. Leafs live another two days.

Prolonging the inevitable.

Prolonging the inevitable.

Anything can happen in hockey. If Leafs keep skating & Anderson keeps sharp they have a chance.
But Boston looks every bit as good when they beat the Canucks in the finals to win the Cup.

Leafs & Bruins played a fast. & exciting game. Both goalies played super super super.
Anderson made so many incredible saves. One save in the first was from a wrist shot close in by Marchant that got thru the pads but the puck went on an angle across the entire front of the net.
If not for Anderson the Leafs would be history.
He has been the difference. But the Leafs did skate hard & did have good chances.
From being down 3 games to 1 to now a tied series 3-3 anything can & will happen in game 7.
Bruins right now are fighting the "we were ahead 3 gamed to 1 & what if we lose game 7 in our building?" That will feel like a "kick in the b_ _ _ s."
Chris must be needing oxygen & a dry shirt ad he must of been so so excited watching his team. Give the Leafs the credit. They have not rolled over & died & waved the white flag.
Sadly Toronto had a chap run down people on the sidewalk earlier in the day. So sad.
Sad news like when Sedins retire & bus & semi collision. Just never know what can happen on a daily basis. Good & bad in this world. That's because there's the eye in the sky (God) & the bad one in the underworld. All the best to the Leafs & Chris in game 7. Whatever happens the Leafs again have gained much respect as they got in last year playoffs. Two great teams going at it. Bruins are happy the game is in Boston. They will have the Boston fans in the building cheering them on. Tensions will be strong so it may be unwise to wear a Leaf jersey in Boston. Leaf fans may get attacked should the Leafs win game 7.

Before Chris gets all excited, a reminder of the last game 7 between the Bruins and Leafs

I'm holding my nose, but.....


GO LEAFS GO!

Not that I love the Leafs, but my hate for Boston and desire for the cup to come home to Canada , well, rents out my loyalty.When the Nucks are in the playoff soup next year.....

[TNAngler]

Gotta love playoff hockey.  Best time of the year.

[Dave]

Wow! where did Mathew's disappear to?   poor Chris, he won't be happy.

Condolences to the Leaf advisor for another disappointing finish. There will be no parade this year.
