Leafs @ Bruins - Apr. 25th, 7:30pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Rielly is fine. Cosmetic repairs. Gardiner?s fine, he just needs people to give him options.

Gardiner also seems to be getting a number of shifts with Polak - and, every defenceman looks bad when their partner is Polak.

 

[TML fan]

That whole thing started with Gardiner being lazy.

And on that goal Gardiner is nowhere near the net. He's by the circle. His effort getting to the house is terrible

Well yeah he got caught on the ice for 2 minutes because he can't be bothered to skate to a puck. I mean he had it and he just let Nash take it from him because he won't move his legs.

Aside from the PPs Gardiner hasn't had a shift for over the minute tonight.

If the hyperbole on his shift time is the only thing you're going to jump on, then I consider my point made.

And he'll always avoid the hit and let the Bruins get the puck first. That's 2 goals on him. He's not a good D man.

Some of it is also the team?s confidence in Gardiner, which is warranted. They believe when he gets the puck he can make something happen (90% of the time he does) even under pressure, so they?re already wheeling up. When the forecheckers make a good move, Gardiner gets blamed.

Turning from our own shortcomings, I'd say Rask is vulnerable too.  Keep the tempo up and the pressure on.

Ya I agree. We played well. First goal was unfortunate with the delay of game, second let?s not go there and 3rd was lucky. Like I said earlier we shouldn?t be trailing.

 

[gunnar36]

I could see it coming....

I was hoping they could survive to intermission, but alas...

Yeah when both JVR and Kapanen combined could not muscle the puck past Miller at blue line,  I figured it would come back to bite us.

Definitely, both keepers look vulnerable and defences look tired. Lots of goals left in this one.

 

[cujo4ever]

Morgan Rielly. What a beast.

 

[Guilt Trip]

That's 3 bad passes in a row for Gardiner to start the 2nd. Get your head into the game

 

[lc9]

Gardiner has to stop giving the puck directly to the bruins.

 

[herman]

Really good read by Hainsey on that set play to Pastrnak.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Yes Dermott

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man

 

[Al14]

Dermot scores!

 

[herman]

Dermott with the laser

Nylander out fights his buddy to retain possession. Polak with a point!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

DERRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[puckinthehead]

If I'm Babcock I'd think about double-shifting Matthews.  He's on his game tonight.

I like that idea, he makes Boston look tired when his line is on.

 

[ZBBM]

This is nuts.

 

[lc9]

WHAT A SHOT!!!
