Expand it's frustrating playing Boston (Leafs fan here) because they simply only bother trying hard enough to win the series. against the Canucks in the Final awhile back they slacked off at the first 3 games in Vancouver and came out blazing and took the Cup

Expand NHL must be dying for a Bruins win. National interest is already so low that they need a northeastern city, where (along with northern Midwestern states) every kid growing up knows how to skate or at least plays street hockey in the summer, so NHL has more cultural relevance. NHL has steadily lost influence with expansion to southern cities (along with Cup finals appearances) like Nashville, Tampa Bay, Vegas--or even LA or San Jose. Those are places where most people have never seen real ice outside of the bottom of a Super Big Gulp or a rocks glass a the bar at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Binnington should perhaps take a mild tranquilizer prior to the game?

What really bugs me is how biased Hockey Night in Canada is. I always watch them over NBC and I've been really annoyed with their coverage. I realize that having Cherry as their clown prince of first intermission 'entertainment' is going to have some influence on that. But Hughson and Simpson may as well be on the Bruins telecast team (man I miss Bob Cole)...

Down there, they think "icing" is what you put on your 13 year old daughter's baby shower cake. "Forechecking" is what happens when your latest mortgage check bounces yet again and your lender takes your double wide.
