They were also cheap stuff that teams get away with all the time in the playoffs.

It is a well-established pattern now. The other team gets to build up a big lead and then we get make-up calls when it is over.

Agreed. For all the BS we hear about refs putting it away, it's funny they didn't tonight.

Also funny how for almost 2 full periods the bruins were angels.

Made some great defensive plays.

Would be 6-0 without him. Easy.

He’s creating, just doesn’t have any line mates who can keep up.

Knies is sorta dumb. Tavares is slow, and dumb..

Put him with Matthews ffs.

Team is missing Styles out there to make something happen

Also, those two PP goals were completely avoidable penalties.

- Aaron_85


Yeah but were not backing down

The game is likely done. That'll take the pressure off, let them loosen up, and maybe get a few.

And I hope the assistant coaches go with em.
PK sucks.
PP sucks.
System is garbage.

Systems are Caresi matter so much in hockey. It takes crappy "on-paper" teams like Boston and Philly further than their talent would dictate.
And teams loaded with talent like the Leafs to just sink.

- UsernameUnknown


Caresie.

They fail at

-retrieving the puck on a dump in
-cycling down low
-Winning 1v1 battles
-clearing the front of their net
-getting a consistent net presence
-stopping the cycle
-penalty killing

These are all the things that require discipline, effort and grit.

Bruins have played a near perfect game. It’s infuriating.
- mjones242


Not really. Leafs have been uninspired. No traffic in front. Not blocking any point shots. Not helping Sammy. Taking dumb penalties. Keefe is befuddled.

Same core. Same results. I have been saying this for about 3 years. I like the new guys, but you can’t have 40 million of no shows…

Matthews has been okay tonight. But Marner needs to do something 5 on 5….

He’s old, fragile, and his best days are behind him.

He’s a charity case.. Tavares too.

I wouldn’t even sign him for 5M at this point. Steep drop off in his game.

Why would Montgomery do that?
