Sorry about the size, but I think, as a photographer myself, this image is epic.

I did. Notice I never came out and guaranteed a win like the 2 they won? I am 4-4 in this series. I am calling for a Toronto victory in game 5.

If I shut up, it means I think Boston will win :D


Toronto was the better 5 on 5 team last night. They have matched Boston in every way in this series.

Blob and his buddy Island Nucklehead love these two players
Patrick Marleau-1 point 6.3 milllion. Why does he get a free ride? Because he's a "Classy" veteran?

NYlander gets 70+ points next season. Book it. Marleau is a 4th line 6.3 million washed-up has been who will be 40 next season.

At least we don’t have to hear about Marner’s shot block anymore. It’s like the Toronto media has never seen a shot block in there lives. They should run tape of some of Elias Pettersson’s shot blocking he did throughout the year

Paddy your thoughts?

Toronto spends the most on analytics and capilogists, Gilman the Great is one of them.

You are leavng out a big part though, the day after that blocked shot all Toronto media discussed was an offersheet and Marner is gone this summer. Would Vancouver media do that with Petersson?

Darren Dreger's opening line on leaves lunch for his segment the night after that shot block? "Can you Say Offersheet"(100% that's what he said) No way he does that to any other Canadian team.
Imagine him saying that about a Jets player? They'd go crazy.

Boston keeps up with the relentless forecheck taking away ice, space and time it’s over for the Dubas Collective

That's because no other Canadian team is in such bad cap space that an offer sheet is a concern.

This might throw Blobbee off. He’s under a different impression with regards to Eriksson’s contract impact. But that’s just Blob

Winnipeg is in bad shape, you are just not aware of it because media leaves them alone. Same with that epic choke job last night.

Toronto will have cap issues because they are the most talented team in Canada.

leaves take it tonight.

I think you are confusing the Tampa/Columbus series with Toronto/Boston. Toronto has been better than Boston.

So Toronto is just screwed by terrible playoff goaltending?

Oh wait, it's the refs and linesmen's fault.
