It is likely that the Leafs will play Boston in the playoffs, and it’s normal that we want them to lose. We don’t want them injured, however, and there’s no one other than Boston we hate more than the Habs.
Charlie McAvoy is an excellent young player, and to see him go down at the hands of Brendan Gallagher of all people. Well, I didn’t get out the torch and pitchfork, but I was ready to cheer on Boston fans who would call for Player Safety to go after Gallagher hard.
There’s no place in the game for this.
