Crazy how Boston was so pathetic for the past couple games. Leafs the two games before that as well. What was supposed to be a great series has turned into a stinker.

Surprise in Leafs net tonight?

Samsonov starting tonight is not a good sign for Toronto.

B's chance for a game 7 win just went up with Samsonov starting. I don't see a sick/injured Matthews being a big difference maker but who knows I guess. Go Bruins!!

Matthews doesn't look happy on that bench.

[Slanter]

Does anybody know what was actually wrong with Matthews?

At least a rumour?

[bagofpucks]

Rumor I heard is both Matthews and Nylander had concussions. Matthews was struggling with vertigo when he was practicing. Just a rumor, huge grain of salt required.

[Manhattanboy]

Marner tears please.

[dissentowner]

Damn, almost an own goal.

What a great game so far. Very fun to watch

The downside of Toronto losing is that you know they will be focusing 100% of everything on the Oilers after that.

It is worth it. Toronto is the worst.

This is why I'm GO LEAFS GO!

Isn't it enjoyable to watch playoff hockey without the refs trying to find an excuse to call a penalty.

Samsonov has a shutout so far.

[GioforPM]

2 minutes for pushing Domi down.

He's looking really good tonight. I definitely think he will get the shutout.

That last call was pretty dicey.

Yeah, this series has been fantastic as an indifferent fan. Glad it’s gone 7 games

[topfiverecords]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah I hate that we have to scale grade this. If this were a run of February game between these two we'd be saying it isn't good, but it's the playoffs so it's "intense" or whatever. Either of these teams will get crushed by the Panthers playing like this.
