Ullmark has been good in this game. Really good.
Can’t argue, he made some great saves and he isn’t the reason bruins lost.
Toronto was the better team unfortunately.

2-2 😱 End of second.
Ullmark makes me nervous. He has made some good saves but he is flopping and giving rebounds.
-
End of period goal for Boston is excellent 👍🎉
-
I don’t like Ullmark in net. He was terrible last year against Florida. I get that Boston rotated goalies all season but this is the playoffs man.
Swayman played great last game.

I hope Dominique Ducharme isn't holding his breath.
He will be Bergevin’s first call as GM of the new Nordiques. -
Top 5 for best line in the NHL is pretty freaking great.
Also impressive that Dallas has two lines there.
-
I hope the Avalanche play this kid and take the Jets out.
ROSTER UPDATE: We have recalled goaltender Ivan Prosvetov from the Colorado Eagles.
In addition, goaltender Arvid Holm has been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles

Didn't see this coming ... but he was the last coach (14 seasons ago) to get them to the playoffs.
I had to double check the source because I thought this is impossible but there it is.
Didn't see that coming

yes, I don't that little puk
Marchand anywhere near the cup.
He has already bathed in that cup and I blame Vancouver for letting that injustice happen.
We can’t have that majestic trophy be further soiled by leaf stink.

There is some crazy talk in this thread.
GO LEAFS GO in round 1. F**K Boston !!!
And then, go whoever will face the Leafs in round 2. F**K the Leafs !!!
If we were in the 1990’s I might agree with you but for right now, screw the leafs and their entire organization.

I think the Jets win this in five, Hellebucyk is just so much better than anybody the Avs can throw in there. The Jets are also pretty deep in goal scorers.

You do have to wonder what would have happened last night if Jake Allen was traded to Colorado instead?Really exciting game to watch and first round of playoff hockey is always outstanding.

The Jets, Avs game is hard and fast hockey - it’s glorious
Jets can’t handle the transition speed of Colorado so far.
Fun game
Yikes 😱Jets turned that around quick

Not quite the same situation. The point of why Matthews and Nylander don't play together is both are shooters. Theoretically, every shot taken by one is potentially a shot less by the other. By separating them, they aren't interfering with each other's chances, and you're making another line more dangerous.
Plus it's a chance for Matthews to prove the criticisms wrong, that he is the driving force on his line not that he needs to be part of a duo, unlike McDavid. We all know how much All-Leafs-nation loves to try to make Matthews appear just as good or better than McDavid. Plus Keefe is the type of coach to feed into that instead of whats best for his team (not resting Matthews in gas 82 AND pulling the goalie for no other reason than to get Matthews a goal).
Sorry friend I left you the wrong impression from my original post. I wasn’t advocating for Nylander it was just that he is injured and returning at some point.
Mathews is clearly a scorer but he isn’t a scorer like MaxPac nope he is an elite scorer, generational talent.
My original point is about playing an elite scorer like Mathews with two low skill guys. Guys that crash and work the net and boards but aren’t passers.
I just don’t think it’s wise but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure they tried to force that pairing for a couple of season and Matthews and Nylander don't mesh well on a line together. Nylander is too much of a shooter to be with Matthews. I think the idea was, in the absence of Marner, put Matthews with 2 players to grind it out for him and get him the puck.
I get the thinking behind it but you gotta play talent with talent. Imagine playing Gallagher and Armia with Suzuki instead of Slafkovsky and Caufield? -
The leaf board over at HF is complete chaos 🎉🥳🎉
I hope for a sweep 🧹
I also hope that the leafs start the game with Reeves again and the Bruins score on their first shot again. I hope the leafs give 20+ minutes to their fourth line
Keefe is a terrible coach
-
Captain Obvious stuff here by Friedman but Im excited.
-
It’s amazing to watch the leafs lose in the playoffs.
I think it’s a mistake to play one of the highest skilled players in the NHL, Mathews with two lunch pail type players.
I get spreading your talent around so it’s tougher to shut everyone down but you’re wasting generational talent IMO.
Maybe Nylander takes a spot there.

Islanders are playing a great game down 2-1 mid third.
I kind of want Roy to win

I think Vegas is going to beat Dallas. Not sure that’s even an upset.
Vegas is getting players back who magically are cleared to play once the playoffs start - shades of Tampa
-
Playoffs starting tonight…difficult to choose between Toronto and Boston because I want them both to lose.
Still a leaf loss in the first round would be sweet.

Kulak was the 6th in TOI for Oilers amongst their D regulars ... admittedly on a better GAA team than Montréal ... not certain that "terribly" is the right description.
Sure I mean we are talking about bottom pairing Dmen here. I just think both fans and some media don’t appreciate how good these guys actually are - for bottom pairing guys-

Slafkovsky on the worlds. I love his attitude and competitive spirit.
Canada might upend his plans though.

Kovacevic is terribly underrated the same way Kulak was.

Edmonton looks like they could sweep the series. LA looks shell shocked, like they are barely holding on.
Can’t believe the Islanders blew a three goal lead. Not sure they have a chance
