From a Habs fan, Go Leafs Go!! Matthews for MVP 👊🏼
Go Leafs go! At least for now – Leafs are undefeated in this year’s playoffs. 😀
Leafs in 5 games
Ahh JD is lost…there is award for the most goals…its a over all stats
Is the chase better than the catch?….lol
do these guys have ANY idea what sport they’re watching?? “dont vote for Kuch, hes clearly 4th bc of PP 2nd assists”. kuch is 9th in the nhl in that category. hes even 8th in EV 2nd assists. He’s 2nd in EV primary assists AND PP primary assists only behind mcdavid. 3rd in EV pts behind mcdavid and mack. Saying the biggest flaw w the bruins is their center depth?? saying that when DANTON HEINEN is playing LW1. they clearly dont know that zacha and coyle both have outscored krejci and bergy last year. and saying the bruins werent ready to start the playoffs last year when they were up 3-1 in the series??
The JD video uploads are 🔥
Another first round ending for the Maple Leafs they will fall down again the Bruins will come out hard-hitting and the Leafs will cry in the corners just like usual they don't have no toughness on their team whatsoever
You’re delusional if you think the leafs defense is the same as the bruins
Good coaching, great coaching, inspirational coaching. Coach Keefe MUST inspire greatness in his team and the Leafs fans that support them. Every team has issues. It is the COACH that makes ALL the difference.
Boston in 4. Calling it right now.
1959 was the last time Toronto beat Boston in a playoff series. Is this finally the year?
First round loss almost guaranteed. Their biggest problems were not secondary scoring and toughness. They're consistent goaltending and good defence. Until those are addressed, they'll never make it far in the postseason.
If Leafs don’t win I’ll be surprised. If Bruins win I’ll be shocked. Go Bruins!
This was supposed to be a "maybe they make the wild card" type year for Boston. They've had AHL call ups all year and they have this type of record. Last year Ullmark and Swayman had ZERO playoff experience in net. It will be an interesting series. I'd imagine for Toronto fans, over coming the Bruins in the first round would feel like they broke a curse
JD is the best
I have a feeling we get dummied on Saturday
jd bunkis aka buttkiss aka bupkis just likes to hear himself talk
Negative nothing 😊
Listen if Matthew's marner and Nylander Play on the outside their done again. They got to go in those dirty areas .
Bruins in 4
Jarnkrok 86playoff games 5 goals, he will be a non-factor. The guys that can cause havoc around the net are going to be important Bert, Knies and McMann have to get to the front of the net at all cost. JT needs to grow a pair or give up the C next season. San Jose did it to Joe Thornton so why can't the leafs do it to JT.
bruins in 5
I think the best players in this series are:
Matthews > Pasta > Marner > Marchand (playoff Marchand not regular season) > Willy > Mcavoy > Rielly and then everyone else… This series is going to be tight and fun to watch for sure!
As for second and third lines, I think Toronto has the edge in forwards, but not by much and Boston has the edge on Defense but not by much.
can you guys PLEASE make all of the jd bunkis podcasts available on video
Mirtle's annoying when he points out JD's monologues. It's radio, goofball, you're supposed to talk. We LIKE his monologues.
The Leafs are going nowhere. They wont get past Boston.
The Leafs are the worlds best shinny hockey team.
