Out In Left Field / Re: 2024 NHL Playoffs
« Last post by mellongraig on Today at 11:14:42 PM »Just 0.1 seconds away from a shutout Game 6 win... so close. A win is a win however.
This is starting to be shades of last postseason all over again where the Boston Bruins had a 3-1 series lead, but couldn't close it out, albeit last year they faced the Florida Panthers. Now the Florida Panthers have been getting an extended rest waiting to see if Boston or Toronto will move on (this time they'll stay in Florida and not travel to start round 2 like last season).
On the other hand, the Toronto Maple Leafs have had Game 7 curses against the Boston Bruins several times (2013, 2018, 2019), Montreal Canadiens (2021), and Tampa Bay Lightning (2022) in the first round. Maybe this Game 7 will be different this time around for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
