ECQF: Boston Bruins [ATL2] vs Toronto Maple Leafs [ATL3] - Boston leads 3-2

[FlamesAreOne]

Guess I am in the VAST minority but I want to see Toronto go far. I want a Canadian team sans Edmonton to win it all.

You wouldn't be ok with them getting swept?

Not as fun imo. It stings more too when you give them hope.

Most of Canada's population lives in the GTA, so it's probably the vast majority.

I'm sure they meant vast minority of Flames fans, not all fans, wanting to see the Leafs go far.

‘Most’?

Yeah nothing would warm the hearts of Flames fans more than seeing the GM that quit on the Flames lift the cup for the Leafs.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

I don't know why anyone would predict anything other than Bruins in 7. I mean the Leafs are clearly the better team from the net out and it's not very close, but it's Leafs Bruins. Bruins in 7.

[Winsor_Pilates]

Boston in 5.
They will be ultra focused after last year's playoff exit.

Bah. I actively dislike every Canadian team except Montreal and Ottawa and those two teams I'm decidedly ambivalent about.

It mainly has to do with fanbases.

[Calgary4LIfe]

Toronto has the best goal scorer in the league. They have the better roster. Boston is a paper-tiger with their record IMO.


Boston in 5. Leafs always find a way to embarrass themselves in the playoffs.

I do not want any Canadian team other than the Flames to bring the cup back to Canada!

Boston in 7

The dice seem to like seven game series.

Leafs are gonna exercise some demons in this series, IMO.

Leafs in 6. Go Gio.

[GioforPM]

Sweep by Boston in which Leafs lead every game by at least 2 goals.

[MRCboicgy]

I mean the best case is Toronto blowing a 3-0 lead just to lose in a 7th game OT. We can only hope.
I think Leafs in 6 though (yuk), and in the games they win, they really take it to Boston

If they exercise their demons, Boston will win. If they exorcise them, it will be Leafs in 6.
