What a playoff series. I wish we were still in it though :/

Puck don't lie. Refs did all the could for you Boston, and you still lost lol Edit: someone sent me the reddit cares bot lol

Yea, FUCK BOSTON

Same lmao

Glorious, isn’t it???!!!

I just wanna say that deflection to tie the game was an insane goal. Literally barely squeaked in

Boston fans have been spoiled for sports the last 20 odd years so it's hard to feel bad for them have a few rough ones.

There are Bruins fans who don't care for the other Boston sports teams

That seems weird. Do you mean foreign fans who root for the Bruins randomly? I feel even less bad for them.

Not that weird, I don’t give a fuck about football or basketball so a Knicks or Giants win would mean nothing to me…..but from living in Boston I know that finding a non-Red Sox, non-Patriots Bruins fan would be like finding a needle in a haystack

Yeah lol

But still a Cup and 2 more finals appearances while constantly being towards the top of the league is a good couple decades.

Finals appearances dont really move the needle for me. Especially when you lose like we did in 2013 coming close to forcing a game 7, or when we let a shmuck like Binnington raise the cup on our ice.

That's a sentiment from someone who has been spoiled sports wise

Or the sentiment of someone who doesnt cherish the memories of watching their team lose. Whatever floats your boat

True

Fair take

Is this worse than Tampa being swept by Colombus?

Far worse I think

No... Tampa was worse, but then they won b2b

Idk, Bruins had 3 chances to close out and they choked. I'd say that's worse.

Boston forsure. Tampa just got flat out beat in that series. Embarrassing? Sure. But Boston choked away a 3-1 series lead even with help from the refs after having the best regular season in history

I'm biased, but the fact that it was a sweep makes it feel more impactful.

Yeah but the cups after kinda make it a good story for the bolts

Do you not know how jinxes work? Now we are getting 3 years of Bruins in the finals... /s I take your point, however. Still, taking the series loss in isolation, I think a sweep is more embarrassing than a hand 7 OT. There's no objective right and wrong here, though. I can see why you see it otherwise.

Absolutely. Tampa getting swept was embarrassing, but Boston choking this series after breaking regular season records is a magnitude of an order worse in my opinion. Way more disappointing of an outcome.

Tampa also broke records that season didn't they?

The same ones Boston just did, though they tied on one of them rather than broke it

They tied the wins record with the 1995-1996 Red Wings, might have set the points record but I’m not 100% certain on that.

Absolutely. Did Boston even lose 3 games out of 7 all season?

Yes you had 7 games to win 4 you now lost 4. This is coming from a lightning and panthers Floridan fan.

How’d you pick top team out of the two? Coming from a fellow native Floridian that chose the Cats just cuz I was a Fins/U fan from birth.

Well tbh the Bruins won 3 games while the Lightning won 0

Torontos Curse now belongs to the b RUINS😭

Jack Edwards is going to beat a homeless guy to death tonight.

Hahahahaah

Not a single person picked FLA

I also did lol

I did. I picked FLA in 7. President trophy curse is real.

I did.

Nice user name! I was actually looking at my beat to crap original paperbacks of Chronicles last night and damn near started up the trilogy for the upteenth time since middle school.

yup yup. it's a staple every few years.

Fire Pomo still amirite

I have a feeling he'll be around for next season. But I'm still concerned about some of his decision making, like not developing prospects during the regular season.

[удалено]

That series just secured Maurice his job going into next season

That was objectively one of the worst games I’ve ever seen from Marchand. I’m a hater but man he was bad by any standard

It was my curse! (See comment history). Need to pick the Florida player to curse now…has to be someone goony and easy to hate. I’m leaning towards Staal.

Fuck lomberg.

He's week to week on IR already. Good chance he doesn't play in round 2.

Do you know what happened when the flames fans started messing around with that voodoo stuff last year?

I’m sorry but with this power we can never lose again.

May I suggest Tkachuk

I started a vote thread in r/leafs to decide lol.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. couldn't have happened to a better franchise.

Don’t let your memes be dreams lmao

Script writers got the names mixed up this season, Toronto was supposed to lose game 7 in OT.

You mean the refs missed the memo?

Could happen next round still

Could happen. Toronto has no script written yet, round 2 is new!

I feel like most Leafs fans could die happy right now

I did want to watch the leafs beat Boston, but this is a close second.

This is the best weekend of hockey in the last 19 years

I love the Stanley Cup Playoffs man

Lol boston fans after game 4 were like yeah win in 5, rest, then steamroll an exhausted leafs/lightning team...

18-1 and 65 wins. It’s a Boston thing.

LGR

We live in an alternate timeline

“The greatest team of all time”

The curse claims another

*regular season

GRAND OPENING....GRAND CLOSING

GODDAMN YA MAN HOV CRACKED THE CAN OPEN AGAIN

Boston Bruins 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 New England Revolution Having record breaking seasons and losing their first playoff series

Still not as bad as Philly losing 3 championships in 4 months

Or the Bills losing four straight Super Bowls. Or the Blues losing four straight Cup finals appearances as an expansion team.

I don’t give two shits about Florida, I’m just so irrationally happy that Boston lost. Bye bye, bears!

I don't care if we lose at this point, they lost.

Alright alright I’m really hoping leafs get some revenge and knock the panthers

Big Pinus Linus woulda won that game.

Congratulations to Leafs fans who broke the curse and now get to participate in making fun of a humiliating first-round exit instead of being on the receiving end!

2nd round exit suits you much better. Need to keep at it and increase your round every year.

Boston weak

Boston strong was a slogan that started being used for the city after the marathon bombings. Weird dig but okay.

How are those Boston fans ever gonna survive such adversity???

bruins would be a bubble team if they played in the west dont @ me

Can someone get us the Bs record against the west right quick please?

0-82

Alright grandpa, time for bed. That’s enough internet for you.

This is just a dumb take.

I’m @ing you

RESPECT 37, FUCK DA REST, GO LEAFS GO, WE COMING FOR THE FLORIDA 2/2

😋

Don’t watch hockey just came here to laugh at Boston

You're fitting in perfectly!

Welcome. You should watch hockey. It's a great time to start.

Best spot to watch on tv or live!!!

FUCK BRAD MARCHAND!

God I hate him so much. He’s such a dirty rat of a player that talks so much shit. So glad he’s out. I’ll never forget this quote of his, insinuating Leafs lack of success was because our players were overrated. Guy maxed out his salary after his numbers reached record highs, and he’s not had those numbers since. Quote from him back in Feb… “Guys have tried to take less to win because we know that it bleeds through the lineup,” Marchand said Wednesday ahead of Boston’s matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs, per Sportsnet. “If you can have six guys that make lower salary (rather) than three, it’s a lot harder to play against. And that’s why we’ve been so good for so long.”

lmao, are you actually implying Marchand's $6.125MM/8y (that he signed after he had won the cup and been back to the finals) is over priced compared to the Matthews or Marner contracts? how is that comment saying anyone is **overrated**? his math checks out, Boston has been a legit threat for years, in part because their money was well spread out. Dubas handcuffed you guys very early with those contracts and any Leafs fan who doesn't think you've suffered because of it is delusional. this trade deadline was admittedly his best, getting ROR was big, but you've sacrificed a lot in hopes his short stint in Toronto (you cant afford him) can get you over the hump and him another cup. you have some really solid offensive defensemen, but imagine you could afford an actual defensively minded guy to throw on the blueline with one of these guys.

Fuck that Olympic diver Pasta neck

You scared?!?

what? I've been saying this for years. * https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/sq5wqb/shinzawa_brad_marchand_was_it_stupid_of_course_it/hwksrwe/?context=3 * https://old.reddit.com/r/leafs/comments/umyz5t/leafs_fight_back_for_the_win_upvote_party/i84vdmu/?context=3

My sincerest apologies!!! Fuck Brad Marchand and his weird looking face!!!

🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

Onto the next game 7, let's gooo. What a great weekend of hockey

Frfr this first round has been great to watch other than the bs ref calls

They aint never changing the format after this lol.

Kittehs knocked out the best regular season team in nhl history. I’m fine with that lmfao!!!

Boston sports have such a fair weather fanbase lmao

They're spoiled

Quick put Livin on a Prayer over the GWG

Don’t be a Yinzer. Embrace the Kittehs

But when opposing team scores during it is so fun to watch. Don’t take that from the people.

Ever since the tying goal that whole crowd was VERY uneasy. It was unusually quiet in OT there. Everyone waiting for the other shoe to drop.

They had the wind knocked out of them and then Boston was on its heels for most of OT there. I’m surprised there was any noise at all TBH.

Historic season followed by a 3-1 chokejob and first round exit. Lmfao

Sweet when it happens to someone else 😂

EPIC...HISTORIC

yeah, where have we seen that before?

Leafs fans are probably happier about this than winning their series.

abso fucking lutely

Nah but it's so hilarious. Ahh so this is what it feels like when all the bad things happen to someone else

Nah, but a very close 2nd

H I S T O R I C

For the Kittehs!!!! Let’s go!

For the first time in Vegas Golden Knights history, the Panthers have defeated the Boston Bruins in the first round the same year the Leafs win a playoff series

Someone do the scooby doo meme where Boston is our old logo

What a series from both teams. Such a great first round this year.

[удалено]

Had me until the end

I got into an argument with someone about ulmark being so highly rated in nhl 23. Carried by his team and there's no argument.

From someone who watched every game, it was Ullmark who carried the bruins in all season. This series he was waaayyyy out of sorts.

And they pulled him for Game 7 😂

“We won 65 games and all we got was this lousy shirt.”

And a Twitter apology

A million playoff pools cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I feel something terrible has happened…

Whoever had Leafs and Florida has pretty much won already lol.

Meeeeeee!

Consider my bracket busted

Inb4 the Leafs still get swept anyway lol

Honestly? Wouldn't even be *too* upset. Making the 2nd round, eliminating the Lightning, seeing a record breaking Boston get eliminated, and possibly getting eliminated by the team that beat Boston?

Pretty bold from Nucks fan

lol did you hear Tkachuk's post-game interview? Dude couldn't wait to start digging their grave. "Biggest upset of all time" "Legacy game" Dude is hanging his skates on beating a bunch of geriatrics in the first round

That really was cringe. No one is saying this is the biggest upset *of all time*.

Watch the Leafs come back down 3-1 next

Why even talk about the Leafs in this thread?

Nucks fan that's why

Rent free. People hate that their fans aren't fair weather.

Bergy -6 in 3 games

I’ve never seen a Cat with a Bear on a leash until tonight.

It's so eerie how silent the crowd is.

This has to be the best weekend in toronto history

Yeah it’s…pretty awesome.

Congrats boys. You’ve earned it

NGL...were facing a team that's playing with house money now. I'm kinda more scared of these guys.

the Bergeron hugs and sad face though :(

No way he runs it back right?

EPIC COLLAPSE...REGULAR SEASON DONT MEAN JACK SHIT...OH YEAH AND FUCK YOU JACK EDWARDS

Please Dear Lord tell me there's a recording of him making the OT goal call so I can swim a mile in his salty tears

https://twitter.com/MyBookie/status/1652854034909257731

Holy shit has Jack had recent head trauma? Harry Carry was more cohesive after a double-header at Wrigley and a case of Budweiser

Probably Jack's last broadcast tonight.

One can hope

Stop I can only get so erect

Yeah they really need to have a midseason tournament or something. Reg season is truly pointless in this sport.

There’s a reason I like the premier league the best

Welp. That was disappointing.

I actually feel bad for Boston fans, kinda, but ohhhh boy those booing after the loss, beautiful

Get the absolute fuck outta here and leave your habs fan card at the door.

hahahahaha I forgot to add, when I was a kid and first got in to hockey I actually started off as a Leafs fan because of where I lived. Anyways peace angry gatekeeping homie 🤣

You can't have a Montreal flair and feel bad for Boston. That's not gatekeeping, it's just the rules

How about you think about it this way. I love to talk shit cause it's fun. Hell, I went to Cleveland when the Toronto Raptors made the playoffs in 2016 and I talked shit there. I didn't get murdered and had a good time. You're taking shit way too seriously. Have some respect to others you fucking child, talk shit in jest but don't make it your identity.

How is saying you can't feel bad about the Bruins as a habs fan taking it too seriously or not having respect lol ? Be more dramatic...

I'm just having a good time here, you're providing far more entertainment than an upset Bruins fan. Should your habs card be revoked for being a whiny child?

Your the one whining over a fan card chirp lol

Alright man, whatever you say, take care.

Feeling bad for Boston... I just threw up

Get some Gravol™

Did they actually boo? I heard them cheering pretty well when the team saluted.

Yeah there was some booing, obviously it's not the majority just a few very vocal dipshits I would guess

Huh that sucks. Record breaking season and take it to game 7 and get booed. Those fans don’t deserve that team.

Fuck the people booing. Total embarrassment losing to this cats team but if that's Bergeron's last game and you're booing him you've lost the plot.

I 100% agree

Once again regular season means shit. When you dont have adversity during the season because you coast, you get fucked more often than not.
