Series Thread: Round 1 - Boston vs. Toronto

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Plekanec played well. If he can do that for another game I'll be pleased.

Andersen was great except for those two times he was awful.

On the plus side for the B's, Khudobin's everything they could want from a backup.

According to the Bruins broadcast, the fact play was stopped for this was "peewee" and "utterly ridiculous".

I stand corrected. Milbury is not the biggest walking douchenozzle on the planet.

Andersen = Sieve

Works.

Every.

Time.

Gotta admit, Marchand is a smart little feller.

When he swung his stick at Rielly late in the game, he chose the right Leaf. There was about 6 seconds left, faceoff in the Leafs end. The penalty boxes are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over there near centre ice and Marchand and Rielly are coming out in 2 seconds. There was nowhere for the rat to hide, luckily for him it was Rielly. It was a perfect chance for a Leaf to have some alone time with the little POS, but it was Rielly in the box so there was no risk to Marchand. Would have LOVED to see Rielly jump his sorry @$$, but that wasn't gonna happen.

On to Game 4, and YAY we get to see Kadri back for Game 5 !!

I have noticed this playoff season as compared to season's past that the refs are definitely quicker in stopping play when a player is injured. All we have to do is go back to last year.

Deserved it all in the first two periods. They didn't capitalize on any of the chances they had and after giving up the go-ahead goal on that utterly unbelievable sequence it was like they totally lost faith.

That is not a good recipe for playoff success. Really disheartening to see from the core they want to take them to the promised land.

Nobody knows how to play with the puck at RD. Nobody. I counted ten times Polak received the puck one way or another and just launched it at the glass behind the net. I'll bet every Leaf icing came from the RD, too.

Boston gets three chances to close out. I don't think they'll need all 3. Go Raptors.
