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

[Guilt Trip]

Boston is def playing well but the bounces aren't going our way. Everything is going their way right now. Series is not over yet.

 

[herman]

Moar Marlies

 

[Mot the Barber]

Offense wins games but defense wins championships. 

 

[ZBBM]

Matthews and Nylander need to show they can dominate a game in a pressure situation.  They haven't proved that they can.

 

[Al14]

Oh well!

More pain next season too, eh Babcock?

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Fire everybody into the sun.  Buncha bums. 

 

[Guilt Trip]

Offense wins games but defense wins championships. 

Def. Our D is blowing assignments all over the place. It's not major stuff either. Attention to details like covering a man!

Matthews played good tonight. He's unfortunately not paying with Marchand and Pastrnak.

 

[rdowdall]

I say this with 100% certainty, if the Leafs lose the next game, they will be down 3 -0.

 

[herman]

I?mma start taping my stick like Pastrnak.

 

[gunnar36]

Our D simply can't handle the down ice pressure of the Bruins.  If we get swept, I can see some big changes to this D group next year.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I know I?m a Neanderthal, but I sure would have enjoyed a little more goonery when the game was gone. 

I know rationally that it?s not smart, but damn I?d have enjoyed watching some of those Bruin players in pain.

Hahaha. Yup.

I'm with you on that.  This would have been the game to goon it up.

I think it's more simple then that. They're just not covering their guys. That's the biggest issue I see. We already know this D isn't great but when Dermott has been our best left side D man and Polak has been our right, that's a big problem. Hainsey and Zaitsev have been brutal on the right and Reilly is also struggling.

I don't know, I'm not drinking or on any kind of drug but I still think Leafs can win this series

One important thing.....we are missing the personnel to do that goonery

I do to. Couple of bounces our way and this is different. Kapanen scoring shorthanded would have been huge. If that, was Boston it would have went in. Just the way it's going for the Leafs right now.

That's a thing in the past. You don't have to fight to deliver some push back.

No you're right, but some size and toughness does help.  Guys like Brown, Nylander, Johnsson, Marner, Plekanec aren't going to physically intimidate too many players in this league.
