No one here wanted to watch a Leafs game tonight.

We all wanted it wrapped up in a neat little bow on Sunday afternoon so we could start thinking about playing against the Blue Jackets. Hockey rarely works out the way you want it to.

So, here we are. Game 7. Again. Against the Bruins. Again. I am so sick of the Bruins. I want this series over and done with. I’m sure you do too.

So let’s focus for now on what’s happening with the game. We’re trying to keep updated with any line changes for this game tonight, but I’m sure information will be kept as much as possible behind closed doors. Anything that comes out from beat reporters will be posted here and the lines will be updated accordingly.

There’s not much more left to say, is there? It’s a one game win-and-you’re-in event. There’s no more time for strategising, analysing, and forecasting.

This is it. Just play to win.
