Funny how everyone was going on all series about why Justin Holl shouldn't be playing, Keefe defends him, but then the game Justin Holl sits is the Leafs best defensive performance all series.

Not that Liljegren was a difference maker (probably rusty not playing in a few weeks), but this was the ultimate addition by subtraction with no Holl.

Yep, just another Irish goodbye. No one even noticed we left.

Could be the best 24 hours in Leaf land in a long time if this holds up

Good guys Bruins.

Cousins appears to be injured, hurt his shoulder perhaps, but he's forced to stay on or else he abandons the play in the defensive zone.

He eventually gets the puck cleared and goes to skate off the ice and to the dressing room...except the Bruins player shoves him right in the shoulder as he's trying to get off.

Leafs vs Bruins, this time in round 2, hopefully this time is different

Or not...Panthers tie it and we have rd 1 gm7 OT and the Leafs aren't playing in it because they're the ones the winner faces in rd2? What kind of timeline are we living in?

Goodbye Bruins!

Enjoy the President's Trophy in the offseason.

Edit: It's going to be great for week for Florida scaplers/secondary market as I'm sure they'll be invaded by Leafs fans.

Leafs/Panthers round 2, just as we all expected.

Bruins blew a 3-1 series lead
Bruins blew a 3-2 lead in gm7 with a minute left
The Leafs came back vs Tampa after being down 4-1 in the 3rd

Like I said, what kind of timeline are we living in?!
