[Omallley]

I'm going to be on a plane for the entirety of this one. Going to be a tough one to miss...I am shocked and pretty darn impressed that we're seeing a game 7.

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[oldman]

I truly believe the Leafs will win game 7. The Bruins are tired. From the game postponements from the Marathon bombings added to the already crazy schedule they had in the final 10 days. Add the Leafs playing a hard hitting 6 games and now having to fly on a game day the day after a game.
The dominos are lined up here. The Leafs have to take full advantage of this tomorrow night. I think they will.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Heart says we can do it, but my head is telling me to prepare for the letdown game.

Proud of them for taking it this far though.

I stand by what I said though, if we can knock them off, the sky is limit for this team.

Win or Win. Go Leafs Go!

 

[hockeyfan1]

I'm interested to know one thing:  which of the Leafs or Bruins will have been 'well-rested'?

Consider the plane malfunction delay for Boston which meant that the team was staying  overnight in T.O. but leaving this morning.

The Leafs we assume left for Boston overnight which may mean a better early rest.

What does anyone think?  Some substance to any of this or no?

 

[Zee]

Win it tonight. Playoff memories cemented and a new legion of fans who are just seeing the Leafs in the playoffs for the first time can jump on the bandwagon.

Not to worry we will build more wagons. ;D

 

[PG]

3-2 Leafs. Just please don't do it in OT.

If hockey gods do exist, there is no way they would subject fans to an unwatchable Bruins-Rangers series.

Don't do it in OT?  Wouldn't that be the best possible way to win?  Look at my avatar..remember the moment.

Channeling good vibes

Yep, the goal, the shot of the Leafs bench and the squirting of the water bottle...ah the memories.  I want new memories starting tonight.

I think it could pile on a bit on the Bruins, who were already dealing with playing a huge pile of games down the stretch, and they are a much older team.  I think Boston looked tired last night. They were having trouble keeping up other than some spurts where they had control.

The Leafs keep trotting out younger and younger players into this series, especially guys like Gardiner who go out and play half a game, skating circles around Boston. 

It's a factor. 

 

[Boston Leaf]

Please.. Leafs... oh please...one time... one time......

 

[Peter D.]

I can't see the boys letting this opportunity slip out of their hands tonight.  They've come this far, no point in not finishing this off.

Boston is in complete flux right now.  It's great.

Go Leafs Go!

 

[Redleaf]

This takes the meaning of 'biggest game of the year' to a whole new level!

I predicted Leafs in seven before this series started, but it was based more on hope and prayer than anything else.

Im not a religious man, but perhaps tonight that prayer will be answered? 

GLG!!

No way man, I don't want the stress.

LOL. How much has Gardiner matured as a player in the past week.?

This kid is a keeper.

 

[Champ Kind]

Body language is all Leafs.  The Boston bench looked drained.  The Leafs are riding a wave and they have to avoid errors and a meltdown in the first 5-10 minutes.

If the Leafs keep skating and moving the puck out of their zone, they win tonight.  If they get caught banging, grinding and having the puck cycled deep in their zone, it will be a difficult night.
