Q&A
My Bruins friend messages me after the first round and said they'll be out this round. I don't think anyone was going to beat Florida. I'm not sure if a 4-1 second round is better than a first round loss
It just shows how shit the Leafs were vs Boston. Florida, on the other hand, are manhandling them.
Anyone who thought the leafs would beat Florida is delusional.
That includes the players.
John Tavares saying "we are right there" bro you lost in game 7 overtime to a team that's going to lose in 5 to a team that is the favorite to win the cup but also has to play the rangers.
AND THEN you have to play Dallas.
You were not "right there".
Florida Is playing chess and you are shoving Legos up your ass.
I think if the Leafs played to their strengths instead of trying play trap hockey we could have done better than Boston has. But we had Keefe so...
The Leafs have not shown the ability to be able to score on Boston in any situation lmao. We couldn’t pot more than one or two on them in the regular season either.
Dude that last line slays! 🤣
The only limit to LEGOs uses is your imagination.
No, the only real hope the Leafs had was Florida getting smoked by Tampa in some fluke and edging out Boston for the second round.
Tbh if I'm the Panthers and the other team is showing Lego up their bums then I'm getting rattled.
I might be erect depending on which player
If refs pull whistles out of their ass Florida loses
Same thing happened last season. Got to the finals and all of a sudden, Florida does take penalties.
I hate when people use the refs as an excuse. Can it be infuriating and inconsistent? Sure. But it's been a part of the game forever, and it happens to everybody. If it actually becoming a glaring, significant issue, you bet the team will talk to the league about it. And the best teams will have good enough special teams to mitigate/take advantage of bad officiating. If you're good enough, it shouldn't prevent you from winning
Up until a few years ago, I thought refs were anti Leafs. I started creeping other team subs and realized that every team thinks the refs are out to get them.
Yep. It's such a loser mentality. "We wouldn't have lost if X went our way or Y wasn't against us," is just a long winded way of saying, "We weren't good enough to win."
Go read subs in other sports and you’ll see the same thing. Fanbases everywhere think officials have it in for them.
Well they didn’t so they didn’t
I'd argue getting swept in the second round is better than a first round loss.
I'd let you
It’s not….us advancing last year was pointless
We would have gotten absolutely destroyed by Florida.
First time?? The Bruins have never won a series when being down 3-1. They’re 0-25.
More so about losing a game in part because a key player for them was injured off of a dirty play which received zero discipline but… that’s a crazy stat.
Can you find out how many times they went to game 7 after being down 3-1?
montreal was up 3-1 against the bruins in the first round of 2011
it's too bad. I was looking forward to Bruins beating Panthers only to spanked by the Rangers.
Why wait when we can watch them get absolutely manhandled by the Panthers
At least we don't have the cope that the team that beat us went on to get to the finals. Instead he got beat by a team that got destroyed.
Bruins are done, Marchand is old, pasta is a support player at best. Fall of an empire.
I love that Bruins fans are trying desperately to try and drum up support from non-bruins fans, especially the Leafs, over bad officiating and dirty plays. Fuck off, and while you’re done with that fuck off some more.
Bruins are actually passing up the Leafs in terms of choking lately! 😂
nah, gotta give this one to the refs
still the meme fits
Nah, this was on their whopping 18 shots
Don't mistake me for some Boston lover, but this feels very much like last year's Leafs - Panthers series - a team getting away with murder thanks to the refs and DoPS, resulting in the Panthers "outplaying" the other team
Sure, except I'd argue last year was a lot closer with the leafs looking like the better team in their losses.
Good teams rise above bad officiating.
Bad teams put under 20 shots on goal in a playoff game.
I agree, but the guy who scored the tying goal shouldn't be on the ice, and the tying goal shouldn't have counted anyway
Neither should the goal where Marchand is laying on top of Bertuzzi. Sometimes you get the calls sometimes you don't if you can't win when you don't get the calls probably not that good of a team anyway.
The choking started LONG before tonight's game LOL
Leafs/Bruins were both gonna lose in 5-6 max to Florida, makes the game 7 loss bittersweet atleast
Am I the only one that thinks we would’ve been better suited to play against Florida than Boston in round 1?
We beefed up our roughness and physicality in preparation for Florida and manhandled them in the last two regular season games we played against them. Albeit they probably took the foot off the pedal but still.
But then again the calls that aren’t being made against Florida in round 2 against Boston is so sus
We'll never know because upsets happen all the time, but there's literally nothing to suggest that the Leafs would win that series, and for anyone to say the Leafs would do better (but still lose lol) is mental gymnastics.
You’re not wrong and the downvotes are justified but we were slated to face Florida for pretty much 99% of the season so the coaching staff must’ve been more prepared for Florida because we didn’t find out we’re facing Boston until like game 81 I think?
Regardless yes it’s probably copium oh well
Jfc. This is copium
