Go Jackets.



Did they bring the cannon?

[The Professor]

Go Jackets, I guess?

I feel like this series is a win-win. I love Torts and the Jackets and it would be great to see them win. And if the Leafs win, we get to see them crumble against the Bruins yet again. I’m hoping for at least one classic Torts media rant.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

There's no guarantee the Leafs would play the Bruins. That would be pretty funny though.

I think Columbus in 4, but I want the Leafs to win so that the absolute best possible outcome can come of this tournament: Leafs go to SCF, Leafs build a 3-0 series lead, season cancelled due to Coronavirus, Stanley Cup not awarded.

Leafs in 4. I think the Jackets wouldn't be able to stop the Leafs forward group.

What is more likely is the Leafs make it to the final and are up 3 -0 when Matthews, Tavares, Marner Nylander Reilly and Andersen all get covid.

Leafs go on to lose the next 4 games.

Oh and it is somehow against Boston.

I was involved in 2 different pools where it’s a random draw and your name gets picked and then a team gets picked. I somehow ended up with Leafs in both pools. I don’t even think the amount of money I’d win would be worth it seeing the Leafs as cup champs.

Looking forward to seeing this game! Really interesting match up styles!

[agulati]

This season for CBJ, has been absolutely crazy. Losing their top stars in free agency, and major injury issues. Tortorella has done a great job with the team.

[Coach]

Always had a soft spot for CBJ.

Also the most hated person I work with is a Leafs fan.

Go CBJ!

[shogged]

I hate that I’m starting to appreciate bieksa as an analyst

[Coach]

Is Torts just saying F*** it to wearing a suit to the game? Or are other coaches doing the track suit thing? Havent noticed, but I think it's hilarious if he's just like "nah".

It's weird how little I hate Torts, or the Lightning.

Berube and his crew had the pullovers going on as well.

[Coach]

Listening to Hughson is a great primer for my Canucks hatred later on.

[MrMike]

Wow what a save from Korpisalo on Matthews
