Game 2: Leafs @ Bruins - Apr. 13th, 8:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

[ZBBM]

Oh look they finally call a charge.  That was the 4th or 5th hit Boston has thrown like that.  Amazing how you can control the play when you get to run around throwing borderline hits all period

Ain't that the truth! Completely nonsense. We gotta start possessing the puck and skating and not get sucked into their game.

Which they aren't so far.  Not just because the B's defense is better, though it is.  They aren't winning many races to the puck.

The key in this game from here on in is not to let the Bruins run away with it.  Keep it close, make them keep working like maniacs, and maybe pull a break or two to get back in it.

Oh look Donald a cherry is a fucking moron.  The Leafs are the ones making the Refs look bad for not doing their jobs

 

[Zee]

Cherry a complete moron as usual

 

[Guilt Trip]

Leafs just need to play. No need to panic or overreact.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

The goonish response from the Bruins was predictable.  If the officials continue to permit obvious infractions to go unpenalized, it will obviously make things more difficult.  Time for a Shanahan press conference to criticize the referees.  Take the fine for the greater good.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Damn, that would have nice to get one there.

They really need to win the faceoff to start the 2nd and press to get one on the back half of the PP.  Would change the whole game.

The refs could also start calling penalties in plays that are blatant infractions not occurring with exactly 1 minute left.

 

[cabber24]

It?s the friggin playoffs, the refs have been fine.

 

[Guilt Trip]

You may think Cherry is a moron but he's got a point. We can whine but the players can't. This is the way the playoffs are called. Seems the same way every year. Guys just have to play through it and not let their emotions take over. Whining to the refs is a waste of time.

 

[TML fan]

I don't normally agree with the senile old man but two things he said ring true to me:

1) the Bruins didn't show up in game 1
2) the Leafs need to stop whining about the refs

The Bruins are gonna play dirty and they're not gonna get called. If you can't beat em, join em.

I reluctantly agree.

And make them pay on the PP when things do get called.  They aren't going to out-goon them.  Skate, skate , skate.

And yet Ferland was ejected for a non hit to the head. Yeah, great reffing.

 

[Stronger Than All]

we could just do it back to them although Kadri will end up in the box or possibly suspended.

Ding ding ding. Winner right here. If they call it the same both ways, have at it.

The Ferland hit has nothing to do with this game.

 

[ZBBM]

Game 1 was a template for how the Leafs will win the series.  Game 2 is Boston's.  Gotta play Game 1, not Game 2.

That?s the trouble, though.  That isn?t the Leafs? game and it shouldn?t have to be because the officials aren?t doing their jobs.  Debrusk was an embarrassment that period and was not penalized once, other than the ridiculous coincidental with Kadri.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Man, Muzz having trouble.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Game 1 was a template for how the Leafs will win the series.  Game 2 is Boston's.  Gotta play Game 1, not Game 2.

Yup. Bruins got a couple of breaks and scored on them. Muzz handles both and we're probably still tied.
Huge save Freddie!

Another two late hits this period already
