on schedule… they don't disappoint.

[@mcsorley2472]

All of Boston is cheering as well. The Leafs are back!

[@ultimatebasses]

An easy sweep by the B's. Matthews and Nylander will be in golf mode and have no goals. Just like it's always been.

[@g.u.6897]

The leafs will not go far in these playoffs as relying on 2 or 3 superstars will never get it done. Out in the first round is on the schedule.

[@Crow-jg4sj]

The Leafs need someone to carry the puck better out of the zone. Nobody is getting open

[@zachlesk5685]

Leafs care more about Matthews hitting 70 than playing playoff style hockey. The cats adjusted to the leafs after the first period and the leafs had… 0 response This is a dig at Toronto from a cats fan since people seem to think I’d like the Laffs for some reason

[@g.u.6897]

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TOO/1

[@realist7934]

They never have any response 🤣. Every playoff team can make adjustments and change things up for each team they play but the leafs only have one style of hockey, and that is regular season hockey.

This is why the Leafs are built for regular seasons and not for playoffs.

Florida activated playoff mode and never looked back. It’ll be yet another early playoff exit. The Leafs are an above average team with some good players but they don't have a playoff gear.

[@daltondrouillard9308]

They do though. Wait nvm I was stuck in 1967.

[@willyupshaw]

This wasn't a playoff game. In fact it was less consequential than the average regular season game, so you're point is redundant. Besides, the Leafs are just trying to get Matthews to 70, obviously, and that's going to hurt the team game.

[@TheRiverweasel09]

@@willyupshaw Tell me you're not a long term leafs fan without telling me you're not a long term leafs fan. This team is destined for a quick first round exit. Boston is going to chew and grind them into tar. Five games unless Boston decides to toy with their food and then it's six.

Domi Bert is obviously more complimentary to Matthews than 16...They look sleepy and invisible quite often with 16 and Marners defence has went way down this season...in addition they often seem to be in their own end with 16 on the line ...but in the offensive zone with Domi and Bert buzzing around. Marner makes that line soft!!!

I’m honestly pulling for you, Leafs. Finally knocking out Boston after years of torture would be a fantastic story. And doing that might give the Leafs enough momentum to carry them to their first deep playoff run since 2002. But if you don’t win that series, be prepared for the endless mockery and the probable shake-up to the core that will follow.
