Mike Augello: Leafs Coming Up Short Against Bruins Is A Trip Down Memory Lane

Boom
Uno.

My brother in law is a Bruins fan so these particular losses always get to me that much more

Good point with those last couple sentences as well Mike. The truest need the leafs might require isn’t so much a particular talent but more of a post season leadership. I mean that’s one of the biggest stings not having Muzzin is.

Bruins won ...Leafs lost.

How many games did Kadri get this time?

Second game of a back to back and third game in 4 nights and it was anybody’s game until the end. No shame in losing that one.

Jenner + Gavrikov + Foudy please 👍

I agree, it was a close game, and could have gone either way.. I honestly thought it was going to OT, but Boston got a lucky goal late...

Holmberg still sick. Sandin now sick

Hope these teams meet in the playoffs, that'd be fun on a bun.

I’d go to my sister’s place and watch the game with my brother in law, he’d be wearing the bruins jersey but they have an extremely large tv and no shortage of beer in the fridge so I’m sure I could live with it

Boston would have to make it out of the first round but yeah it would be cathartic

It makes sense to hope for that since it would imply the Leafs beat Tampa in the first round.

One at a time. Dominoes

Mike dropping the truth-bombs. The team is not built quite right still. Need some grit and sandpaper that can actually play in our top 6 forward group and/or our top 4 D-group.

If Dubas fails to address this before the trade-deadline he will be fired. Seems so obvious to everyone else in the hockey world. I'm surprised Shanahan hasn't forced his hand by now. He was that exact type of player in his career.

GLG.

Not sure grit and sandpaper would stop the 3 Brutal giveaways.

A battle of the titans that a few mistakes made the difference.

He tried one time to add Foligno..gritsy toughness.. failed miserably

Is there a player in the League like Shanny was? does that player even exist anymore? Sure BS was tough and fought, but he was also really good...#2 pick.

im not against adding some of that, i just dont see who. Also i dont think grit and toughness has much to do with losing in 7 games to TB. a Powerplay goal or 2 would have been nice

Trading Rielly is the Kawhi trade for the leafs...change my mind
