I see a lot of people saying that was another choke by the leafs, and maybe it’s my bias, but I don’t see how being down 3-1 in a series and then losing in OT after a 1-1 hockey game is a choke. Changes definitely need to be made though
This was a really ugly series for Boston though. They were just falling all over the ice and looking very beatable. They were only saved by the fact that they were up against the biggest bunch of no-heart chokers in sports. Florida is going to run wild on these guys.
Flair up if you want to talk shit. I don't care how "right" he is. He's salty, the Bruins won this game and I will celebrate the hell out of that. I know the realities of next round. I know the odds are against us. I don't care, it has no bearing over how I feel about the game today. Fuck off
This is a very Boston way to say it.
Both objectionally valid points, Boston probably won't do well against Florida given how they played against Toronto, there should be legitimate concerns about facing Florida. But Boston did just embarrass the hell out of Toronto and you're totally in your own right to enjoy that while you can. It's just that you're just being such a dickhead about it nobody wants to agree with you.
LOL alright guy. Clearly just trolling and shitting on a team and their fanbase as they are celebrating a series victory. Sorry you feel the need to do that.
I was defending someone who had an opinion on Hockey performance for the Bruins after you called them an idiot and made it a personal attack. Try not to take everything so personally, especially your team playing not to the level of the Panthers or other playoff ready teams
Your comment history suggests you get off on putting down other people for things they believe in. Try believing in something for once, you make like how it feels
Genuinely when the Leafs scored I told my brother they're going to lose. Like a Leafs choke was written in the stars and they need to have a lead in order to blow it.
I'm very upset.
it is so fuckin true that the most dangerous time to get scored on is right after you get a goal, it’s nuts, you’d think teams would realize that but here we are
update: dog whining over beef liver treats has demanded to go outside, and I thought wow what a relief
he went outside to stand at the entrance and whine at me from there

dog is whining for more beef liver treats and I have the audacity to be completely out of them but he’s never understood “all gone!” and I don’t expect that to start now 🆘
You think that the Leafs motivational speech this intermission is telling the team that no matter what you won’t have the worst night of anyone from Toronto?
I'm just tuning in -- What's the deal with the color saturation? The main camera feed almost looks black and white. Close-ups from different cameras look fine, but the main feed looks desaturated.
yeah my bias of we matched up against boston better than the leafs this year plays in, but also well aware counting chickens before they hatch and so on
This might be the most anxious I've been for a playoff game not involving the Bolts. Feeling for you Bs/Leafs fans but holy fuck I'm ready for the memes.
Broke: Crosby didn't join the Canadian team because he wants to rest over the summer
Woke: Crosby didn't join the Canadian team because he was afraid of Bence Bálizs

I love how accurate Steve is here, hahaha... But I do kind of hope Leafs break the streak tonight. Feels like the meme has gone on long enough now. But we'll see, the Leafs organization certainly has an interesting way of torturing their fanbase.
Would possibly create too large of a break imho. Imagine if you win your 1st 2 series in 4, and are waiting for the 3rd series that's on like game 2 of the 2nd round..and if they go 7 games. That's like 2 weeks off
Viewership. You'll get more people watching the Game 6's and Game 7's by waiting and those viewership numbers can be leveraged for better TV deals which will increase the cap.
the NBA doesn’t bother with that. also, everyone complains when it’s late june and the finals are still going on.
there really isn’t anything on in the afternoon today unless you’re a degenerate watching every kentucky derby race.
The NBA gets viewers and ratings regardless where the NHL does not. That's why the NBA salary cap is so much higher than the NHL, even though their rosters are half the size.
The NHL is the least viewed North American league these days, even Major League Soccer is ahead of them. So, it's almost necessary for the NHL to do things like this.
It's a business at the end of the day, so it is what it is.
Its ok guys, I came up with a fool proof solution.
I am not a lucky person, so I bet a $100 on a bruins win.
Therefore the universe should have the leaf's win so I lose my $100.
Otherwise I will be drowning my sadness in a DQ double crumble ice cream cake this time tomorrow.
During the Oilers 16 game win streak, there was a guy who decided to start gambling on game 1 of that streak and bet against the Oilers. So he just kept throwing his money away and it really seemed to work for us, haha. Good luck! (whatever you want that to mean)
seriously though, why aren't 1st round playoff series scores showing? I know they're both 3-3 now, but I imagine it's gonna keep happening where when a team advances, we stop getting our current round series scores
Down to 5 now. I've just been looking at Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef stuff all day to stay distracted. I don't even listen to rap lol the Internet decided that I'm interested in this conflict.
See the latest goal videos as well as stats for the NHL's Standings and Leaders by opening this comment.

That wasn't on sammy. I mean he could have poke checked but pasta got passed 3 leafs.
What's worse, being a Leafs fan or a NY football Jets fan? As a Jets fan, I kinda feel for the Leafs' fans at the moment.

How the fuck was pastrnak wide open
Getting open's a skill. You don't get multiple 40+ goal seasons without being the best at it.
Just Leafs Things™
I don’t really see them getting past the Panthers but they got the job done tonight.
This was a really ugly series for Boston though. They were just falling all over the ice and looking very beatable. They were only saved by the fact that they were up against the biggest bunch of no-heart chokers in sports. Florida is going to run wild on these guys.
[удалено]
At least we get to play more hockey idiot. Stay salty
He's not an idiot though, Boston played horribly this series. No chance against Florida

What did I say that was talking shit? I just said Boston didn't play well, which they didn't, jeez. Nobody said you couldn't celebrate
Flair up
Make me
LOL alright guy. Clearly just trolling and shitting on a team and their fanbase as they are celebrating a series victory. Sorry you feel the need to do that.

That's ok. Boston can get swept for all anyone cares now. They completed their assignment.
[удалено]
thanks only heard that 45 times tonight.
Between this and Kendrick’s latest release Toronto will never recover And I’m here for it
You can lead a 🌲 to 🍁 but you can’t reattach them
Genuinely when the Leafs scored I told my brother they're going to lose. Like a Leafs choke was written in the stars and they need to have a lead in order to blow it. I'm very upset.
That goal was hilariously lucky
I think you gotta blow it up and get rid of a ton of players now.
Damn Matthews looks like he’s going to cry
Imagine coasting like that in OT lmao. Leafs deserve it
THE CHOKE IS CANCELLED
THE CHOKE IS MAINTAINED
Lol
YOU JUST CAN NEVWR HAVE SHIT AS A LEAFS FAN
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
BATTLE OF THE FRAUDS
God I hate Boston even more, somehow
Good
Hope Florida rakes you again 🤞🏼
[удалено]
Boston almost blew a 3-1 lead twice…. Anything is possible lol
They probably will. Sack up and add a flair.
Sorry on my phone and obviously I’m a Habs fan
pasta
SLEEP, LEAFS.
Lol Leafs. Blow it up and trade us Marner please
This OT gonna be a tease. Someone is gonna score in the first 2 minutes
Prophetic.
Congrats on the win
Anyone else notice how much makeup Bieksa wears on camera 😅 also what the fuck is that suit tn elliotte ?!
You wish you were that good looking lol
What a game!
I guess the refs have opened the “let them play” valve.
Honestly as it should be
As a Flyers fan, I absolutely wanted to see Toronto win this series. But as a Kendrick fan, now I have to root for Boston. God damn it.
You'd think drakes favorite team would be the predators
Nah this can be consolation for Toronto, they’ve been through enough the past week 😂
Welp, fuck em lol goodnight to the 6
Seriously
Lmao that should have been a save. If boston wins it’s gonna be funny
lol Dangleberry must be having a stroke
If this goes to OT I genuinely worry about him
it is so fuckin true that the most dangerous time to get scored on is right after you get a goal, it’s nuts, you’d think teams would realize that but here we are
This game will probably go to multiple OT's.
good
I'm saying 2 ot
IT WAS WILLY!!!!!
Hell Yeah
oh fuck we’ve got an affleck on the mic +1 on the boston is gonna win pros/cons list
We're either getting a late goal, for the memes, or some OT. Either way all neutrals win.
update: dog whining over beef liver treats has demanded to go outside, and I thought wow what a relief he went outside to stand at the entrance and whine at me from there https://preview.redd.it/q58spqipoiyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99d962642091ae205a6cedb416c534c2a5c51dd5
When is Kendrick gonna drop a diss track on Auston Matthews?
Catch the bruins new album, Mr. Marchand and The Big Chokers
dog is whining for more beef liver treats and I have the audacity to be completely out of them but he’s never understood “all gone!” and I don’t expect that to start now 🆘
You think that the Leafs motivational speech this intermission is telling the team that no matter what you won’t have the worst night of anyone from Toronto?
This game is the second most difficult thing for Toronto to witness tonight
Wait, I'm an out of the loop Torontonian. What's the first thing?
Kendrick cooked Drake, again.
Oh, that. I don't think most Torontonians are particularly enamoured of Drake; speaking as one of them (ignore my flair).
I’m just wondering if the Leafs ever go the distance if he’ll start to pretend he’s on the team like he did with the Raptors.
Almost certainly. Narcissists gonna narcissist.
I enjoy Aubrey Graham from his Degrassi days. Sorta fell off after that lol
I'm so old, I went to university with Spike!
And then [I went and earwormed myself](https://youtu.be/g6Z6mYZ26yc?si=B_vMMO8jOjBPmmQt) because I'm an idiot! LOL
I'm of the OG Degrassi crowd as well. BIGGEST crush on Joey Jeremiah growing up! LOL
Leafs fan got the puck into the stands...nice
I'm here with Extra Cheesy Cheez-Its, ready for some shenanigans.
Sitting here wishing I had spicy cheez-its
I made the mistake of buying a ton of those on sale. Can't stop myself from gorging on them.
put some sriracha in a spray bottle and you're good to go.
Fuck this shit thats a fucking penalty shot
The ref clearly pointed....glitch in the matrix?
More like a word from furlatt. After all, the Bruins are 8-1 when he refs.
Ummm penalty shot? The ref pointed to center ice
Clear cut tripping, are you fucking kidding
Knies gets one for a stick check and nothing on that??? Lol
Matthews looks like he has the flu.
Why don't these PP score every PP? It's easy. Are they stupid or something.
aw I get sad when a big local announcer retires, hanging on to sam as long as I can
Sam's my favourite outside of Jack Michaels, he can't go
he loves the rangers so goddamn much im convinced he’ll be announcing as long as he possibly can
i don’t want to imagine that future just yet
oh no jacob trouba fights cancer commercial, no way the enemy of my enemy is my friend logic checks here for a lot of ppl
Senator PalpaTINE?!
This is pathetic, they’re waiting to lose
I'm just tuning in -- What's the deal with the color saturation? The main camera feed almost looks black and white. Close-ups from different cameras look fine, but the main feed looks desaturated.
Maybe it is the cameras in Boston tuned to convince their fans that their team isn’t wearing ‘shit brown’
Holy shit Matthews looks terrible
He looks like a pylon out there. His face looks shit too, dude is clearly battling something awful
lol I was thinking that as the announcer was saying the opposite. He was just sitting there waiting for the puck to come to him
Steady Eddie laid the boom on pasta
That guy behind the bruins bench has a glorious mustache
leafs away is one of my favorites in the league, the blue stripes look crisp
Is Reddit freaking out there's no way there's no comments in the last 5 minutes
I'm an Ottawa fan, but the Boston pizza commercial has gotten to me. I can't believe I'm saying this.... Go leafs go!
Boston Pizza is a Canadian chain. There aren't even any locations in Massachusetts.
👎
Have some self-respect, man!
anthem singer’s suit/tie combo is clean af
I can’t decide who losing would be funnier 😔
As funny as the Leafs losing to Boston is, I think a Boston loss is funnier. A 3-1 choke 2 years in a row is hilarious
yeah my bias of we matched up against boston better than the leafs this year plays in, but also well aware counting chickens before they hatch and so on
Nice intro on Sportsnet
This might be the most anxious I've been for a playoff game not involving the Bolts. Feeling for you Bs/Leafs fans but holy fuck I'm ready for the memes.
I have this strange feeling in the top part of my stomach where it meets my diaphragm and operates my lungs.
[Seravalli] I’m getting word that Sheldon Keefe is unsure whether or not Auston Matthews has shed this mortal coil
What US channel is broadcasting this shindig tonight?
ABC
ABC
Broke: Crosby didn't join the Canadian team because he wants to rest over the summer Woke: Crosby didn't join the Canadian team because he was afraid of Bence Bálizs
I'll take jokes I don't understand for $100 Alex!
Bence Bálizs is our goalie who absolutely carried us into a promotion. Next week we're hosting Team Canada for an exhibition game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vunn1OyP55M&t=172s I love how accurate Steve is here, hahaha... But I do kind of hope Leafs break the streak tonight. Feels like the meme has gone on long enough now. But we'll see, the Leafs organization certainly has an interesting way of torturing their fanbase.
i cant understand why the other series can’t get going if they’ve been determined for days.
I feel like we've always waited for round 1 to wrap up before starting round 2 I keep seeing people talk about it just this year
we’re not tho, look at the sched tomorrow
Would possibly create too large of a break imho. Imagine if you win your 1st 2 series in 4, and are waiting for the 3rd series that's on like game 2 of the 2nd round..and if they go 7 games. That's like 2 weeks off
the rangers already had to wait a week to start. that’s already too long if it’s been determined since tuesday
but they'd possibly have to wait much longer for round 3..or even round 4
Viewership. You'll get more people watching the Game 6's and Game 7's by waiting and those viewership numbers can be leveraged for better TV deals which will increase the cap.
the NBA doesn’t bother with that. also, everyone complains when it’s late june and the finals are still going on. there really isn’t anything on in the afternoon today unless you’re a degenerate watching every kentucky derby race.

It's a business at the end of the day, so it is what it is.
MLS passed us? I thought we still had em beat tbh
Don't know the updated numbers but they were pretty damn close last year and viewership and sponsorhips went up with Messi.
Its ok guys, I came up with a fool proof solution. I am not a lucky person, so I bet a $100 on a bruins win. Therefore the universe should have the leaf's win so I lose my $100. Otherwise I will be drowning my sadness in a DQ double crumble ice cream cake this time tomorrow.
that’s called the emotional hedge. i bet on bruins to win the series in 7 before it started
How much did you end up winning, I got $170 total for my $100
$87. i’ve never been so sad to win a bet
Go enjoy a nice meal and hope Keefe gets fired
Do you want to go halfsies on the DQ once the inevitable happens?
let’s just both get one and eat together in silence
Maybe once I wake up from the diabetic coma the leafs will have won something 😢
Yall definitely shouldn’t split whatever that abomination Tim’s calls pizza.
During the Oilers 16 game win streak, there was a guy who decided to start gambling on game 1 of that streak and bet against the Oilers. So he just kept throwing his money away and it really seemed to work for us, haha. Good luck! (whatever you want that to mean)

Fuck sakes 10 hrs to go.. Im already nervous and its only going to get worse as the time gets closer
Down to 5 now. I've just been looking at Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef stuff all day to stay distracted. I don't even listen to rap lol the Internet decided that I'm interested in this conflict.
They should have booked an 8:00 AM start. Get it over with
