Babcock is like an anchor, but again, if they just score, that won't be a problem.

The Leafs can only beat themselves, they have enough firepower to blow Boston out of the rink.

But you can't do that from the half wall in the playoffs, they have to take the rock to the house.
Like, let's take our two worst defensemen, and put them together on the PK, and run them out against the Bruins top PP, that's the ticket.

So fucking dumb, they might score their way out of trouble, but what a fucking anchor he is dragging the team down.

I don't get that stressed out about it, it's not about Babcock.

It's all about Matthews and Nylander.

They will either take it to the inside, or they won't, that will decide the series.

Last year, they wouldn't do it. We'll just have to see what they do with it this time.

I know Tavares will go to the net, Kadri will go to the net, Marner will go to the net.

But that's not enough.

The Leafs can't win 1-0.

They have to score.

If two of their Big Four are neutralized by fear of taking it to the house, then they can't win.

If those two get over that and just take the rock to the house, they can't lose.

Babcock can only do so much damage, but minimizing your chances of winning with shitty coaching, is something the hockey gods tend to punish.

See now Nylander just got inside, boom, 3-1.

That's what they have to do.

Get inside and get to Rask, and Boston will unravel.

Give up some more breakways Bruins, that's the ticket. As if Rask isn't trash enough, they got to hang him out to dry like that.

Well Fuck Face is just gonna have to make saves.

Fuck Face has to be Freddie Vezina or we're toast.

But whatever, goaltending is voodoo, and I can't hate goalies anymore than I already do.

The Bruins shitting the bed so hard, turning the puck over at the blueline repeatedly. Puh-thetic.

So now it comes down to Fuck Face.

Boston will adjust, Freddie Fat Head is just going to have to find ways to stop the puck.
