Voting Leafs in four just for the fun of it. This thing could go so many different ways with all the narratives.

Isn't this every playoff series?

I am voting for Leafs in 7.

San Jose had a great team for many years before they finally made it far.
Washington had a great team for many years before they finally won the cup.

I think this is the year that Toronto wins.

The expectations are not as high because now most expect them to lose because its Boston... so I think this is the the year they get by.

Toronto in 6
Still can't believe this roster overperformed that much.

This golden oldie keeps getting traction, lol:

Bruins in 3!

If you look at recent years, if the President's Trophy winner gets bounced early, they come back the following season and do great. But the issue is the Bs still have the same two-headed goalie monster and are without Bergeron and Krejci. But Toronto is going to be under their usual microscope. I'd say easy Bs if they'd sorted out their goalie situation, but inasmuch as they didn't it's a tougher call.

Why vote just for fun? Is that what you believe, if not then that's honestly pretty useless to even vote. It's like making fart noises. Not trying to be harsh but thing to do. Toronto in 6, I think there the better team but man have they looked fragile at times recently including yesterday.

im not even trying to predict who wins this but i will say that i think this will be most entertaining series in first round and possibly in recent Leafs History. I think they will be different. Last year they won first round but didnt see anything different than years before, just was their time. I think this will be different, good or bad.

[Feenom]

Goaltending will be the difference. B's in 6.
