Is she drunk ?

No. But Alf needs to be to survive the coming night sleeping on the balcony if the Leafs lose.

Yah most likely. It was just wishful thinking .

Hoping for a long series and lots of injuries so whoever wins gets destroyed in the second round.

You think? Boston looks to me like they are going to rag doll the leaves.

Yeah, Toronto are clearly playing scared.  You could see the fear on Double Flamingo's face when he had to handle the puck in his own zone.

[AAA]

This has been a fun first period

 

I think Boston had the better period - got the goal, and have been super physical - leafs cannot match the physicality

 

Conflicted as to which team I dislike more

Nylander is a useless player (negative really) unless it’s a power play. 

[Bob Long]

Leafs using up all their luck this period, it could easily be 4 zip beansuckers. 

[Dr. Crossbar]

Only time I'm rooting for TO.

Yes, this

Bruins must be pissed now- complete domination and up only one goal

and facing 4 on 3 PK for almost 2 min to begin the second.

Worse than useless.  His refusal to break a sweat makes it harder to hold the rest of the team accountable.  Toronto really should have suspended him without pay a couple of times during the regular season due to his laziness.   Not sure why they paid him that abomination of a contract when he clearly doesn't care about winning, just like the lazy sack of shit he had for a father.

[Rip The Mesh]

LOL.

I can't in all good conscience do that. I just want oodles of pain for both. I'm hate watching this series.

Matthews will score on the coming PP. Leafs have no chance at evens. They have to win the pp v pk minutes.

Mrs Alf just walked past draped in her Leafs Snuggy and wearing her Leaf slippers. She’s got her Sittler rookie card in one hand and her iPad in the other. She’s not looking happy. 

Time to hide. 

Oh, boy

hang in there, brother

For sure.  Best case scenario is for Leafs to win the 7th game against Boston and then lose

in the 4th game of the following round.

[Silent Man]

Bieksa looks so cool,

personality goes a long way.

Not sure who that Leaf was with the deer in the headlights look in his own zone then.  Says a lot when he's too scared to even suit up though.

I’m watching the TBS/American broadcast and Lundqvist is holding a hockey stick showing us how it’s done
