We have a wonderful opportunity to slay the bruins dragon and finally beat them in the playoffs for once.

It’s revenge time next week

Leafs nation, let’s get some redemption.

It makes sense that the leafs road to the cup this year has to go through Boston first. They always had our number and it’s time to get it back. Let’s focus on that.

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!

That game 7 loss to the bruins back in 2013 broke me as a hockey fan breh. I was so stunned and couldn’t believe they pulled a miracle comeback on us:damn::mjcry:

After Kadri made it 4-1 six minutes into the third period I was :dj2: :myman: :win:

then 4 minutes later, boston got a goal, Nathan Horton scored to cut the Toronto lead to 4-2.

Then Matt frattin had a breakaway all alone to score, he could have put the game away but the bruins goalie rask stopped him. If he would’ve scored it would have been 5-2 Toronto. And the game would be out of reach for Boston.

I won’t tell you what’s happened next, its too painful to remember :mjcry:

I hate the bruins so much. They really tortured and tormented the leafs in the playoffs for years.

Yeah that night was quite vivid. I was at my buddy's house. He's more into Leafs daily news and I'm more into Raptor so we keep each other updated, but obviously both are all in come playoff time.
So I'm there and his sister comes down to ask when my bachelor party is. I told her and she turns to him saying "you can't go we have a family wedding that day" - so as they are arguing about it, the Boston comeback begins :laff: So this whole time from 4-2 to tie game they are bickering non-stop. When BOS officially tied he snaps at her to STFU :dead: And then the heartbreak would soon follow in OT. :mjcry:

What’s your personal ranking of the Toronto sports teams?

1. Raps/leafs tie
2. Jays(definitely a distant second)
3.don’t care about the rest



I fukk with both raptors and leafs equally win or lose.

Jays if they suck i don’t watch them and i ignore completely the existence of the sport of baseball. I only watch them when they are competitive and even then it’s after the nhl/nba playoffs are over. So I only get into baseball in mid to late June.

As far as following:
1. Raptors as far as following daily (news/players/stats/etc)/making an effort to watch all regular season games/and season seat holder
2. Leafs - watch regular season games sparingly but all in come playoffs.
3. Jays - technically my favourite sport to play but hard to watch 162 games. All in come playoffs.
4. TFC
5. Argos/Rock :dead:
But care about the first 3 the most and how they do/support come playoffs.

Yeah baseball is fun to play personally but can be kind of boring to watch at times even if the jays have a good and fun team. So imagine if they suck… Also following a baseball team during a 162- game schedule requires a lot of effort and commitment. But blue jays playoffs are :banderas: though. Remember the back to back alcs in 2015-16 with Bautista, encarnacion, tulowitzki, donaldson, etc. The city really came alive.

Same thing for raptors and leafs, 82 games is a lot , but i can endure and tolerate long schedules in both of these sports because at their core, they are more fun, much more rapid/speedier, much more physical and more exciting/action packed than baseball.

There is just something about a packed Skydome..... like experiencing that atmosphere in person during the 2015 run was just :blessed: :wow:
I think also because it's a slower paced sport, the tension mounts so much, leading to something like the bat flip :banderas:
