I've been surprisingly pretty interested in these post-season games, considering I have no rooting interest (other than rooting against a few teams I hate). The games have mostly been good, closely contested games with good rhythm.

I also think having fans back helps. I just had a hard time watching the games without fans, even though on TV it shouldn't make a difference. [/end shrug]

Although my feelings towards both franchises have ranged from loathing to indifference over the decades, I'm pumped to finally watch a Habs/Leafs series. If someone had told me 25-30 years ago that I wouldn't see Montreal vs Toronto until the year 2021 during a pandemic, I would've said... "Yeah, that sounds about right."

Leafs vs Habs....don't know how I'll survive this series.

I barely survived the Raptors title run

Habs vs Leafs First Round playoff series with no fans in the stands and on a day when it's 30 celsius outside in Toronto. Weird times.

Edit: And Campbell falls down for no reason to start the game. LOL

Tavares could be done for the season!

Literally passed out on the ice!


This is scarier than the Muzzin moment last playoffs.

Barely 10 minutes into the series and Leafs could be without Tavares for the playoffs. This is almost as bad as it gets.

Dubas literally sprinted out of the box getting down there as well, not sure who he's calling, maybe Tavares family.

At least we got a thumbs up from Tavares, but didn't look good at all.

When the medical staff turned him over and immediately motioned for the doctors that was a terrifying moment. Good news is he raised his fist as he left the ice on the stretcher.

And right after play resumes, Habs score.

I hate hockey.
