[beachwing 426]

Is it just me or are both these teams big bad and mean compared to Our Wings?

The Bruins can be, but the past few months they haven't played very tough. The Leafs have the most physical fourth line in hockey, but the rest of their forwards aren't particularly tough.

The Bruins definitely love their slap shots . . .

edit:

...and Horton scores. Score one for random-internet-guy-is-completely-wrong.

Side note: who knew Wade Redden still had this much hockey in him?

GO BRUINS!!!!

Wow! From 1-0 Leafs to 2-0 Bruins! Look out for Boston, they have some mad skills.

[DatsyukDangles13 5]

Bruins are just dominating this one. Could be a long series for the Leafs

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Nice punching/hitting fest at the end

[Wings10 300]

I hate the Leafs, especially living in Windsor, had to put up with the Leafs on TV every damn Saturday night. Occasionally we would get the Montreal games, with the great Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin, man those were great memories when I was kid, my dad loved the Canadiens

[redwings15 47]

Pulling for the Leafs, but I predict Bruins in 5...

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Boston just plain out-hustled Toronto for most of the game. The Leafs simply didn't have an answer for Bergeron and Krejci.

Boston did an effective job of shutting down Kessel.

Pretty physical game. Good tempo.

Looking forward to game 2.

Missed watching this game last night, would of liked to tune in!

From hockeytubedotnet:

After the game Andrew Ference claimed to not know what a reporter was talking about when asked about the elbow on Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski, but we’re guessing it’s likely that Brendan Shanahan may help the Boston defenseman remember shortly!

The interview in question is (as of right now) viewable at TSN.

[matt198913 932]

Hopefully he gets 2 games for being a past defender. That's just a dumb play not to mention dangerous no penalty of course

[IndianaRedWing 15]

He may not have known because it wasn't an elbow to the head. Unless by "elbow" the reporter meant "forearm."

It was contact to the head, though. No question there.

Welcome back to the playoffs Leafs..

[Superman54 91]

they all now remember playoffs aren't always fun

[DatsyukDangles13 5]

If that game is any indication this will be a quick series.

[evilmrt 636]

Anyone watching? All those thousands of people outside the arena... man...

I remember when Detroit fans used to be fanatical
