Hooray, Leafs lose another game 7

I can't wait until they put Matthews back in for it and the fanbase turns on him.

No shot. Bruins are playing terrible playoff hockey at this point. No killer instinct. No heart.

 

[BF4L]

Florida is licking their chops for either of these teams.

My fantasy of a Leafs Canucks final lives. At least for 48 hours.

Damned if it won't live for another 48 hours.

I would not be at all surprised if Monte over thinks this and starts Linus in game 7.

I’m pretty sure this is the only time something like this has ever happened in sports history. Three separate times the exact same scenario has played out with the teams winning the exact same games every time.

It's destiny

It could be density...

I think the Leafs got away with one here...

He’s holding Holmberg’s stick. IMO no different than when Marchand and Bertuzzi were going at it in front of the blue line before that stinker of a goal Samsonov let in a few games back, red could’ve called both but let it ride.

Bruins screwing up yet another 3-1 lead in back to back seasons. This team is trash in the play-offs

That's one of McDavid's favorite plays (holding the opponent's stick). That's two games in a row where the Bruins have looked pretty bad (also, Woll has been terrific when called upon).

Argos could use a new placekicker

All the proof you need to know the refs have been terrible; Timmy Pee thinks they've been good.

How do you look at two textbook penalties and call neither?
