R1G1: Leafs @ Bruins - May 1st, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

How do they go into the third period so far behind and then come out and get outshot even worse than the previous two periods?
 
Can we please see a lineup like this in game 2.
Jvr-bozak-kessel
Lupul-Kadri-MacArthur
Komarov-mcclement-kulemin
Frattin-grabovski-Orr/maclaren


 
I wonder if Boston dominates the hell out of us in 4 (looks likely), and the Marlies go on a deep playoff run, does Nonis entertain the idea of firing Carlyle and hiring Dallas?

He got us into the playoffs.. but it was a shortened season, and Advanced Stats showed there was regression due.. The only thing that showed improved was our PK (which was a massive improvement) but defensively we've still sucked as we have for years now.

no chance firing a coach who won a stanley cup for one bad series.
 
I think I'd run with O'Byrne and Gardiner next game ... and give them as many minutes as Carlyle is giving Franson tonight.  ::) :P
 
I fully expected a loss tonight and had no problem for this inexperienced team to "burn one up". But what I feared Coming into this matchup was the boys would look and be completely overmatched, and that is showing tonight. Time to put this aside and regroup for Saturday because it's not going to get easier.

Isles are getting smoked too, so I wonder if some of it is experience vs inexperience and inability to keep it from snowballing.  Bruins have around 1000 more games of playoff experience.

I think we can play with this team, so hopefully Saturday demonstrates that.

I suppose.. Though I think I remember reading Nonis wanted Eakins to replace Wilson.

I agree.  Rask, if tested, is vulnerable.

But to get to that, we have to get the puck out and 86 the giveaways.  And reduce the icetime of the 3rd d pairing fo Chrissakes.
