Didn't see one, so figured with the season starting tonight, we better get one going.

Anyone have any bold predictions? I think mine might be that the Wild make the Western Conference Finals.

Fuck Boston with a rusty spoon.

This isn't even the worst first-round/playoff choke job by the Bruins in the past 15 years :-)

They blew a 3-0 series lead and a 3-0 game lead in Game 7 to the Flyers in 2010.

We need to stop treating hockey upsets like upsets other sports. Regular season is basically pointless as long as you get in. All regular season basically means is you tried harder more often. There is no correlation between regular season dominance and post season success

Boston fans appear to be in shambles.

I saw some "We want Boston" chants on Twitter too last night. Clearly those people have never dealt with the refs in TD Garden before. This was the far better outcome for everyone involved in this league.

Couldn't happen to a better city than Boston

You love to see it… nobody chokes after historic regular seasons quite like Boston franchises.

To be fair most fanbases would argue the Leafs get their own kind of love in their own building from the refs. I don't really subscribe to that as much as others but if we are going to play the game of what the league wants, the Leafs winning is high up on the list.

If the Leafs advancing in the playoffs was a priority for the league and/or the refs were in the bag for them, one would have expected the Leafs to advance in the playoffs more than zero times in the last twenty years.
