Leaf's in 7.
fab point about the top 4 guys. and am in particular.
“You could of hung a handkerchief and there would have been a hole in it”
Nice job all..All I can add is….just win a series please….I dont care who it is against….
Not a Grzelcyk fan, but he may not hurt the Bruins vs Toronto. Florida or Tampa will be a different story.
I am really curious what will you say after game 1. You are writing down the Bruins, and making a hockey God out of Mattews. After 3 strong hits, you will not see him around the puck! Also this year against the Bruins he has a total of 3 goals in 4 games… while his team got outscored 15-7. Lets go Bruins! Make them mulch again!
Bruins need there goalies to steal the series, offense it's not even close sadly we lack any scoring out of pasty, leafs goalies and Defense should be the reason why bruins win, but the lack of scoring is a concern(less since leafs goalies haven't been good) i am very glad we have Maroon now this is why we got him, bertuzzi domi mccabe reaves edmunston they got lots of sand paper, he will settle a few of those guys down
Forbort is an upgrade from wotherspoon, bigger stronger little smarter with the puck and both block shots and play with an edge, only reason i like wotherspoon more is 775k vs 3 million, but that all doesn't matter now! mark stone
No one breaks it down like these three! You should all be on Sunday skte!
