Right out of the Jon Cooper playbook of “complain about something irrelevant to deflect from the team’s poor play”
Toronto is the home team now, Jimbo!
Who’d rather spend more time in Boston anyway
Oh boo fucking hoo shut the fuck up
Cry more Jimmy boy.
Toronto is the only east team that had two days off before game one and ended on the road with a back to back btw
(Everyone else had three besides the Islanders but their last game was at home and didn’t play the day before)
Ahahahaha this is new one. What a whiner, that’s pathetic bud.
If Jim promises to lose the series, I promise to feel really bad about the injustice here.
For a team that loves to have the rep of the ‘bIg BaD BoOinS’, they sure do cry a lot.
Anyone remember when Cassidy tried to tell on the Leafs back in the 2019 series?

Simple solution to this problem.
Leafs in 5.
More home games for Bruins than Leafs AND Montgomery can stay in Boston for the next 5 months straight.
Lol
Kind of surprising that they *aren’t* playing Thursday instead of Wednesday, given that the Celtics are also playing tonight.
Boo-fuckity-hoo. Already making excuses for your team…the mark of a coach who isn’t sure about his club
I don’t know how he figures. It’s not like the Leafs landed in Boston the day of game 1. They were there for a few days prior.
Womp womp
Lol
Well draw bigger TV numbers than the Leafs then.
You WERE the home team Jimmy. You lost that the moment you lost game 2.
First of all that doesn’t even add up.
In Toronto – 3 game days plus 1 day before games 3 and 6 plus 2 days between game 3-4 = 7 days
In Boston – 4 game days plus 1 day before games 1 and 7 plus 2 days before game 5 plus 1 day between game 1-2 = 9 days
Cry me a river Jim
I would rather Jim Montgomery eat shit and die but here we are
Um…
Boo fucking hoo.
🫡🫡🫡
I definitely was anticipating two days between game 2 and 3 and again between 4 and 5 (for 3 Saturday night games). Not between 3 and 4 then 4 and 5
boo fucking hoo Jim.
They are not the “home team”. They have home ice advantage if it goes 7 games. That’s all.
I think the argument is stupid, but I am kind of surprised that we are playing today instead of tomorrow. It seems like having 2 days off between games makes more sense for travel between Boston/Toronto than between Game 3/4.
Boohoo
Cry Jim Cry
Poor baby
It’s really a shame that the Bruins don’t appreciate all this city has to offer. I’ll be sure to use my auto dialer to call them all and let them know, every 6 minutes, between the hours of 10PM and 6AM.
I get it, this is totally built around hockey night in canada. Tough luck you guys like the Celtics and Red Sox more so scheduling doesn’t revolve around the bruins.
BALD BALD BALD BAAAALLLLLDDDDDD
This exact thing happened to the Leafs last year. Suck it up.
Actually Jim you lost being the home team when you didn’t win both Game 1 and 2
Excuses already? lol
Breaking. Morgan Reilly suspended 5 games for those comments
Always complaining
Okay, but like Boston is a 2 hour flight from Toronto and a 7 hour drive, you can go home if you don’t want to stay in Toronto for the 2 day break
Or, hear me out, Jim: You could just do your job and not complain.
I hope the weather is extra cold and miserable for you, Jim. And you somehow step of a lego, or wet dog poo.
I love the mental war fare in the playoffs.
Honestly though, having the Leafs play on Saturday night is the best thing for the NHL. It’s about time the biggest draw in the league gets prime time. It’s exactly how you grow the game and draw fans
Leafs went to Boston right after their last game of regular season so this ain’t remotely true, but whatever. Someone better get him a tissue
He realises they don’t play a game on the extra day in the city, right? Seems like someone’s looking for excuses already!
