Screw RAW. There's a special Monday episode of Hell's Kitchen on tonight. I'm watching that!

Why shouldn't Leafs fans expect to win tonight?
They've taken 2 out of 3 in Boston this series and have all the momentum?
Raw's been bland for a while. Just find the good stuff on youtube afterwards.
Simple we don't have Bozak, Reimer has played out of this world but I don't think its sustainable.
If Gunnarson is out then its pretty much done.

Will be interesting to see which team is fresher with the back-to-back.
In 2011, the home team won 6 of 6 home games before game 7, too... Not necessarily indicative...

Bububut Tabris told me the Wings would dominate!
Everyone trying to out-reverse-jinx the other. You know people have gone too far when they say things like "We don't have Bozak, we're doomed".
I'll give the edge to the Bruins just because of playoff experience, but the Leafs also have less pressure which will help.
Rags/Caps.... uh, Lundqvist to play out of his mind and steal the game

His our best center for face-offs, especially in the defensive zone. Kind of important.
He also said the Islanders would take the Pens, Nabokov would play like he did 10 years ago, and the Canucks would win their series. What a genius.
42.6% on FOs in the 5 games he's played
44th out of 50 players who have taken at least 50 faceoffs (or something like that)
Even if he was so valuable at faceoffs, you're still overstating his importance in order to lay the groundwork for excuses.

Boston is the best faceoff team in the league.
It's all that extra "cheating" they do in the face off circle.

Oh, I'm well-aware of that. I was in a state of karmic bliss before that Game 7.
This Game 7, though? I have no clue which Bruins team is going to show up.
Odds are it'll be the chokers, but we won't know until the game starts.
I still haven't slept since Game 6 ended. Replicating the events of our earlier three wins hasn't been easy.
A lot of good it's done us the past two games.
Yes. And Bozak is still doing very poorly. Acting like his absence is the X factor is ridiculous for a bunch of reasons.

Taking faceoffs against the best in the league while playing with an injured wrist is going to skew the stats but please use your out of context numbers to prove that Bozak is irrelevant to the success of this team. Maybe you can also pull out some stats to excuse why the Canucks are a steaming pile of shit.
I honestly feel the Bruins/Leafs game is going to be a blowout for the Bruins. When I say blowout, I mean it in the playoff sense, i.e. winning by at least 3 goals. I honestly hope it will be a tight and entertaining game, but I think the Bs are just going to be fed up and that all of their chances will finally start going in.
Can't believe I'm defending a Soc post, but...
He attacked the idea that they need Bozak to win faceoffs despite his FO percentage being pretty low in the playoffs. He has a point. Don't say "We need Bozak to win faceoffs!" When he wasn't doing that before his injury, playing against a strong faceoff team or not.
I was responding to "Simple we don't have Bozak" and saying that Samyy is overstating his importance.
Yeah. I always have such outrageous, marginal opinions.

Who is saying this? I haven't seen a single person do it.

Saying Bozak is important does not mean we can't win without him. We won last night just fine.

East coast bias strikes again!
Off the ice: Patrick Kane
On the ice: Dustin Brown, Burrows, Ott.
Why are you even replying to us? You don't even know what the conversation was about (see: Samyy's posts).SuperSonic1205 said:

Plenty of other sports you could watch instead.
Like women's tennis. Those short skirts are mighty fine and the French Open is right around the corner.
No need to subject yourself to basketball. March Madness is long over. That's when basketball season ends.

Truth. And I only care about March Madness cause it can win me money.
Strong contender, but I like his antics. He's better than Burrows at straddling that line between agitator/douchebag.
