Leafs @ Bruins - Apr. 14th, 8:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Here's how I see this so far.  Boston is the better team and I didn't think we'd win this series.  But virtually everything has fallen their way so far, and the difference between the teams isn't THAT great.  What is clear, though, is that the Leafs D is not good enough yet.  Zaitsev was decent in the first game, awful in this, but he's a 3rd pairing guy, no higher.  Hainsey is just not good enough.  We need to add another good dman somehow.
 
I think it's cool, actually, that the Leafs's $6m bench boss is getting outcoached by the Athletic's Jonas Siegel.

He caught up though.

After a four-goal period....
 
Hahaha even Kypreos is questioning Babs use of Komarov. He'd play Martin over him and I agree with that. Leo is done.

What's Martin gonna do though? I'd rather have Leivo in, at least you know he could score
 
I like the commentators' excellence in reading body language. 

Oh BTW, Matthews' hoodie signified ... nothing.
 
Also Plekanec is complete garbage. I sincerely hope he signs a 5 year deal with the Habs on July 1

I agree with you. You know we have a big problem when Polak is your 4th best D man. I said it before I'd like to see Dermott with Polak on the pk.

No, I actually think if you put Martin in against anyone it's Boston.  Not to goon it up but to finish checks every shift so they get just a bit of their own medicine.

Assuming he's replacing Komarov and not Johnsson I wouldn't hate putting Martin in for a game to see what happens.

Kypreos was referring to hitting people. That's what I agreed with. Leo isn't hitting anyone. I would put Leivo in as well over Moore and Martin. I don't like anyone getting hurt but I hope Leo is done.

Yes, I'm on for him going in for Komarov in Game 3.  With Kadri out, why not?  I think he'd be more impactful (heh) than Leivo.
