I'll say this: I don't love how they're playing right now

The Leafs are really susceptible to a hard, gritty, grinding game down low and along the boards

Yes, they'll let you have the zone too easily and yes, it becomes really easy to want to trade chances with them, but you don't want to trade chances with this team because they lull you into run-and-gun

Don't like how they're playing this right now

My guess is Read touched the puck while guys were dragging their feet on the change.

Probably should have called some sort of penalty on Read's drive to the net tho.

Blocked shots don't matter. Therefore, they don't hurt.

Terrible period. And yet, they are winning, so that's good.

Better early...got too loose late, but still up 1-0

Gotta say it because it's true: Bunny was the best forward on the ice in the first

Okay. Leafs look the bad kind of desperate. Giving the Flyers a lot of room to work with in the neutral zone.

This is just how they play -- never seen any team give up both so easily, so consistently
- AllInForFlyers


They're horrendous defensively. I hope the Flyers don't develop any bad habits in this game. Leafs aren't going to make them work that hard offensively.

Not flawless, but they're generating chances and playing well enough, thus far.

I'd like to see them come out with a little more grind in their game for the second

This game is right there for them to grab. Neither team seems interested. Would be nice to just jump on the Leafs to start the 2nd.

Grossman really is awful

First Lecavalier is a prima donna, now Grossmann is awful. And let's not forget that Coburn has to go!
