the choke bowl
Mad I didn’t think about this one 😂
coupe de choking
As a bruins fam it’s EMBARRASSING. The boys in the locker room have no guts, but hear me out, we’ll win tomorrow
This series likely has the most bipolar fanbase in history.
yes it can happen again especially with the refs bias against Boston ; last year last three games against the Panthers no penalties called on the Panthers no matter how blatant including several major penalties; this year last two games against Toronto no penalties called on Leafs in either game and don't expect any in game 7 even though Leafs committed dozens
The combined anxiety of toronto fans and bruins fans is insane
How can you not be romantic about hockey?
Boston fans with anxiety? It’s only been 13 years since your last cup imagine us Toronto fans have been waiting 57 years for Stanley Cup.
@@bugsyboy5323 "What have you done for me lately?" syndrome. Toronto isn't supposed to win (both down 3-1 and historically) so they should be playing loose. Potentially losing two first round 3-1 leads in back to back years on the other hand when you are heavily favored... That is anxiety inducing. As a side note. The Leafs screwing Woll out of a shutout because they didn't play to the buzzer is peak Leafs.
@@bugsyboy5323 Excluding that one cup run, the Bruins have blown a 3-0 series lead, lost in the first round after setting the all-time wins record, and lost 2 Stanley Cup Finals, one of which was a Game 7 on home ice. You don't understand the immense pain and letdown of those collapses. Now I'll admit, we can't say we've had it worse than Toronto because of the one cup run, but excluding that? The Bruins have been through worse.
Well, let’s just agree that these two original 6 storied franchises with over 200 NHL seasons combined have had their struggles along the way.😜😜😜
Forget the Stanley Cup, this is for a greater prize...the CHOKER CUP
It's actually a golden jewel encrusted collar.
@@theshipoffools The CHOWDER Cup
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Leafs are making me believe. Time to get heartbroken again.
Buckle up cowboy…
I think it’s your turn. You’re overdue and my Bruins are not that good this year
It wouldn't be true heartbreak for Leafs fans if they went out in game 5. We had no hope in game 5. They give us hope to break our hearts. It's the Leafs way. I hope I'm wrong.
@@dannymoe8911 it’s your turn to win
You should believe. Believe that no matter what you do in game 7, Florida will utterly destroy your dreams next round.
History will repeat itself. Only question is: Which history?
Will Brad Marchand lick somebody or cry at the end of the game?
toronto's history is much longer and much more established. im bidding on the leafs to choke harder i do however think boston is more nervous and needs to be. leafs, unless they win their conference, will probably get blown up anyway. shanny gone, all coaches gone, tavares not resigning, reilly probably gone and possibly even marner. right now leafs have nothing to lose.
@@junk3996the coaches and core 4(marner) will be gone unless they win the cup. It’s over for the coaches 100%
@@Justthatguy1998 i frickin hope so
@@junk3996 bro if it doesn’t, I’m becoming a Salt Lake City yotes fan
Who’s here after bruins win game 7
In Toronto it always goes like this. They never choke right away. No, no they wait. They wait until there is a glimmer of hope. They wait until you are starting to believe. Then, they take it from you. That, is the Maple Leaf way.
This team is definitely different than previous years though. They don't get pushed around like they used to
Absolutely correct lol
They didn't against the Bolts last year. That was a step in the right direction.
Hahahah this comment killed me 😂😂👌👌 Considering the hitting, the TIGHT defensive wins, the great/hot goaltending… I think game 7 definitely leans towards the leafs. Even being at home can be a disadvantage to Boston tn
This is the truest thing ever shared on the internet.
Maples : PTSD activated Bruins : PTSD activated
Florida laughing so hard right now
PTSD was on LTIR until the playoffs
Perfectly balanced as all things should be.
@@Table_knife hahaha 🤣😂🎯
Ooooof
whichever team loses is gonna level up their own inner demons...
along with a lot of alcohol
Nah... leafs fans and even some of this Leaf team are used to the worst by now... Leafs are already in their asylum. Boston though.... not exactly. Their 3-1 choke is recent and will likely be weighing on their minds more.
Leafs have been through way worse than this. The team was already written off a week ago. They are playing with house money right now.
i cannot say this enough. this channel fills such a niche and underserved market. in depth, unbiased, easily digestible and informative hockey analysis. my co worker and i ask each other if we saw your new video and talk about it while the games are on while we work behind the bar. im a bartender in south florida and i plug this channel all the time with customers while we have the panthers games on or theyre asking questions about the game and why im yelling or cheering. i moved to florida when i was a pre teen and couldnt continue to play hockey to have an experience playing at higher than a youth/ peewee level but this channel fills the gaps and makes me a better informed hockey fan and i absolutely love it. keep doing what you're doing dude.
The memes that will come from this series, regardless of which team loses game 7, will be great
Game 7 gonna be LIT AF.
I don’t even watch either team and I’m not missing this game for the world
And whoever wins their reward is a fresh and rested panther team after their long series :)
Au contraaaire---Histoory prooves thaat more ofteen thaan not --a well " reested " teeam is usuaaally a very ruuusty ,outta shaaape teeam of oveer coonfideeent chaaraacteers ???
Hey we’ve seen many times where the fresh and rested team performs way worse, because the opponent has been locked into battle mode for so long. Good example: Tampa taking on Columbus
Whatever team wins, this is going to get their booty blasted by the Florida Panthers. They're literally going to have one rest day and play them on Monday
@@RaymondUrias Rest = Rust
@@5Cdarkwing Just takes one period to one game to get the rust off and then you're mauled by a hungry Panther!!
As a Bruins fan I 100% expected this. It's what they do. They're just a little bit less chokey in the playoffs than the Leafs, which isn't saying much. Bruins have blown so many leads, have lost the most game 7s in NHL history. Regardless I also 100% know that no matter who wins this series they're getting swept by Florida and have no real chance at the cup.
As a Caps fan I thought we were pessimistic.😂
@@pekestyxx6674the caps were such an anomaly I thought they had the best chance at an upset 😅
The last time the Leafs beat the Bruins in the playoffs was 1959
I wouldn’t want to play a team that just defied all odds coming back down 3-1 to win if I was Florida just waiting around
As a Flyers fan in the early 70s I concur 😁
It boils down to who hires more exorcists tonight.
Boston isn't that far from Salem so...???
or who hires more witches
@@stephfahey1101 In Salem right now, about 30 min from Boston yep
1:43 Chip and chase is how Chicago won 3 cups. I feel like it could work again since we have a few burners in development. Only issue is winning a dang faceoff.
Agree completely. Toews was absolutely incredible at chasing pucks down in corners, as was Hossa. Then you add in some of our most important support guys like Bolland, Ladd and Brouwer early on, Kruger, etc. it opened up so many chances to kick it back to Keith or let the skill guys take over. Man I miss those days
@@TheCompletelyAverageGamer Yeah. If you look at the faceoff vs win. We had over 55% in all 3 cup seasons. That's pretty good. Toews singlehandedly carried that team. We really need a how good was Johnathan Toews video.
It hurts seeing them thrive without Samsonov, I was really hoping after his return in January he was a changed man ready to destroy but his play looked farthest from calm and just straight up disastrous. Really proud of Woll stepping up, he deserves the starter and he’s proving it these games. Whether they sign a new goalie in off season or stick with Woll, I know we got some peace of mind. Regardless of winning or losing, Game 7 is a treat. Let’s go leafs!!
Could also be worse, they could play Murray.
It would be funny if Florida fans start cheering “We want Toronto!”
It would be funny in panthers fans cared
No, we learned from Leafs fans' mistake on that one. 😂
@@hockeyaddict7007 cope lil guy
THAT CUP PARADE IS BACK ON BABY LETS GOO
This aged well 🤣
So... about that....
i love that you break down the team’s strategies. really interesting 👍🏼
This was a great breakdown. Very technical but still informative without being pretentious or condescending
That was some elite level reporting. Thanks for your breakdown.
Absolutely fantastic breakdown of the series. Loved everything about this video. Well done!!
Yep, it definitely happened again. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from playoff contention, CANCEL THE PARADE!
ur breakdowns help me understand hockey much better, so i thank you. hopefully my leafs get a W tomorrow 🍁🍁🍁
my new favourite hockey channel, been watching all year and i gotta say i love it
I just want to say thank God I finally found a channel like yours. I've been watching the NHL since 1987 when I was 6 yrs old. Yet either because I didn't play peewee or adult league hockey or the announcers non ability to explain the game like they do in the NBA and NFL. So I play every NHL video game since Blades of Steel and yet I understand none of it, I love watching it and playing it on video games but I've never understood what to do with offensive and defensive set ups. Like where should a particular player be in a 1-3-1 or how to use the neutral zone trap, I just figured out a few weeks ago why you dump it in. Anyway your the first channel to explain these things and I've been using your explanations in NHL 24' and even tho I loved this game for so many years you have brought an entirely new love for me to the game. It's so much more fun to understand and execute NHL game plans and watch them be successful cause I know where to be. Again thank you
Best hockey channel there is. Love your work!
Oh but it can. Gonna get wild tomorrow..
As I am uneducated in the ways of the Xs & Os of hockey, thank u for explaining the details of this series!!!
u bet?
I dont live in a town with a NHLteam but had Sid, Nate, Brad bring the cup home to Halifax in recent years. This place has created some legends.❤
Well presented, thank you!
Amazing analysis. Well done.
consistently very sharp analysis that shows you know a lot about hockey. Love your videos.
Good job my friend, a well put together professional video. You may not get many likes based on topic, but it’s obvious that you spend a lot of time putting together a quality video and we viewers appreciate your hard work even though we might disagree. Keep up the great work!
Best Stanley cup series was Boston vs Chicago. Best 7 game series I’ve ever watched
Thanks for another insightful video!
great breakdown. i used to play and its nice seeing someone actually get into the Xs and Os
The football run/pass analogy helped a hockey novice like me get the idea. Super insightful! Thank you!
Thanks for darn good technical explanation!
Swayman has carried Boston this far. Its time for Pasta and McAvoy to step up or their season is over Saturday.
They’re too soft , and are getting smacked around
@@francissteger1636 I don’t think toughness is the biggest issue, they can’t even string two passes together without fumbling the puck. They’ve got no finishing ability, sloppy giveaways behind their own net, and they can barely maintain quality possession for more than a couple seconds.
@@ajmonkeyman24 I mean the Leafs have been very similar. Giving up bad pucks making questionable plays and what not. The Leafs were just more aggressive in games 5 and 6 with the forecheck. I think it looked more like Boston wasn't playing as hard as they could cause if they lost they had another chance. I have a feeling the Leafs may just get smothered in game 7 with both teams fighting to stay alive.
@@The_Schmizz I 100% agree
@@ajmonkeyman24 That's a by product of getting pasted whenever they try to carry the puck anywhere. Look at Pastrnaks face, it's beat up pretty good.
Brilliant man, you are the best KZhead hockey guy
As always, great video. I would love to see you do a breakdown on Game 7 of 2011 Final BOS vs VAN after this season is over. VAN got shut out 4-0 that game on home ice, and I'm still trying to figure that one out.
insane breakdown thank u for this
0.1 second goal was the cherry on top of this game💀
Love these kinds of analysis videos
One of the best analyses I've seen yet. As someone who loves both teams (though prefer TML), I couldn't agree with you more. But unless TOR gets past Florida (not just BOS), a lot of heads are going to roll starting right at the top. No matter who wins this series, that team - TOR or BOS - will definitely be the underdog for all upcoming competitions. And I for one love it when the underdog crushes their competition.
It’s so funny regardless of what happens. Losing a game 7 against Boston in the TD Garden, and last year choking against Florida
Boston and Toronto choked to Florida whoever wins gets to relive that again lol
@@ryans413 who ever Florida will face, Florida will win without losing a game
@@ryans413yeah except this time they won’t be choking against Florida. I mean they hardly did last year. Officer Bob was in MVP mode, hard to do anything against that, especially against a 21st century leafs team
@@clandon9624 I got news for ya. Bobrovsky was even better this year.
Cinematic masterpiece here
Love theses breakdown! I'll be in Boston for the final game, only watching the PWHL instead :P
Regardless of who wins, the memes will be elite.
I think this is the first game im gonna actually watch in like 10 years lmao
Toronto had a 6th player on the ice in game 6. He was out there for 60mins in a stripped jersey.
This is a great series
History repeats itself 👀👀🍿🍿
Such a great series so far. I'm nervous for Saturday!
The Stoppable force vs The Movable Object
Good breakdown there, bud.
This is great. Regardless of the outcome, the memes will be great.
Good vid and excellent last question..nice work and breakdown..maybe not 100%.. but who is.?or can be….props.
so excited for game 7!
tabarnak que c'était beau à voir!
I really like the strategy breakdowns, I'm not seeing that anywhere else
AND meanwhile the Panthers are waiting for the winner . Well rested and ready to shred their next opponents , whomever that may be !!!!
Or they might get too comfortable resting and do a choke job like last years Stanley cup final
@@rando4998 so no credit to Vegas for being the better team???
@@randoir1863no
im so nervous as a leafs fan and ik bruins fans are also anxious this is crazy imma loose my mind can't think of anything except for saturday
The 3rd period was so intense last night, it was really hard to watch lol counting down the minutes. Saturday will be insanity, I think they’re gonna do it miraculously
I dont know why, but i knew that this series was gonna be a 7 game series, even when toronto was down 3 games to one.
1/20 on the PP and series is tied. Amazingly Leafy.
I don't have anxiety. Leave and Bruins are my favorite east coast teams.I will be happy either way. Grew up near the international border in NH!
Could you do this type of video for all the round 1 games and 2 and the final? It would be awesome to watch!
It definitely helps that the Leafs have 6 power plays in the last 2 games and the Bs only got 2. I think the biggest difference between winning and losing is that the Leafs started blocking more shots, and the B’s are having trouble adjusting. Their dumps down aren’t very clean, and they haven’t been finishing their chances like they were earlier. Maybe nerves, but we’ll see I wanna see the Bs wear an alternate jersey in Game 7 lmao
2:23 I think you meant 2-1-2 forecheck. Good breakdown in all though. Appreciate the content!
6 straight elimination game losses for the Bruins is a thing...wow.
Game 7. TD Garden. Go Leafs Go.
This Toronto team is a team of destiny!
@@TranslatedAssumptionDestined to lose to Boston again.
@@CommonClownsleafs haven't beat the bruins in the playoffs since 1959
Even if they win, they're getting swept by Florida
If Leafs win, Matthews gonna return and, well, watch out
I can not wait to hear your breakdown on Toronto's loss.
These two teams are playing their 4th playoff series since 2013. There are some interesting patterns. 1) The Bruins are 4-0 in game 4 2) The Leafs are 4-0 in game 5 3) And the winner of game 7 is ....
Damn, hockey is fun, innit?
Oh man tonight is going to be wild!
As a fan of a western conference team, I get endless giggles from watching toronto try to figure out what to do in the playoffs and fail. Im rooting for them in game 7 because there is no other team that id like to face in the finals.
For sure one of these two teams will overcome their demons.
Amazing video
Oh it can be, and its going to be glorious.
Do US markets win more cups because there is less local pressure?
I'd like to know how to counteract that. Swarming must leave them vulnerable somewhere else. Sort of like a short pass beats a blitz. What should Boston do?
Oh yes it can. That .1 second goal will motivate the Leafs. They had the shutout and for no reason, a shot on goal.
Gotta shout out the crowd for finally for once getting into it I believe it may have sparked the shutdown game
If Boston doesn’t win then they are the most embarrassing team ever
Why? With this roster they got they should be about the Capitals or the Penguins level...to be in playoffs and make it to game 7 is great with what they got. It's just that hockey fans and media tend to have memory of goldfish and don't remember what they thought of them at summer.
@@laughingbeast4481 They will become the first team ever in all 4 major sports to lose 3-1 2 years in a row
@@jackdobrowolsky8375 So what? Plenty of teams didn't even make playoffs back to back years. How is that better or less embarrassing? Even if they lose they still forced 7 games on supposed soon-to-be contender. With average roster. It's only coz overvalued their lead.
They never lost to a Zamboni driver.
Man this series is what it’s all about… tons of history and tons of demons for both, tons of pressure tons of intensity… the rest of the playoffs will be easier on my heart for sure 😂
Hoping for triple overtime. Best of luck to both teams. It's been a great series.
can we get a video just like this for vegas and dallas? dallas has had to change their offense for this series and im curious on how they have done it in a nice breakdown video
I'm a Blackhawks fan so I'm used to this kind of sh!t lol, I cant wait for this game!!!!!
Fun Fact: Btw on that lohrei play he is boarded but he holds holmbergs stick meaning it should have been a 4 on 4
As a Bruins fan I had a gut feeling at 3-1 that this wasn't going to end well for them.
As someone born and raised in boston…. I can’t speak for all Bostonians… but personally I’ve accepted the fact the series was over when it was 3-2
Either way this game 7 goes will be pure poetry. The script writers hit this one out of the park.
Brilliant
And the prize for being the champion of the chokers? Getting served as dinner for Florida.
70% of the time the team with less rest wins the next series btw
it was a good run tho 😢
@@clandon9624 70% of the time the team with better depth wins.
Swayman's been the only guy that's exceeded expectations for the Bruins. Everyone else is either invisible or choking and it's not the same faces either - Marchand and Pasta have underperformed, yes, but guys like Zacha have missed point blank shots multiple times. The lack of PPs has impacted them disproportionately. Boston's looking for a Bergeron or Chara kind of player to rely on.
It happened again
As a Rangers fan this is just pure entertainment. I love high af stakes when I’m not invested. I’d like to see Toronto take it though tbh.
When they won last night the first thing I heard in my head was you saying "the parade is back on" hahaha😂
