ECQF Game 2: Toronto Maple Leafs (3) at Boston Bruins (2) 8 PM EDT | CBC, NBC, TVAS

[LemonSauceD]

game, set, series...

 

[DRW204]

Best line in hockey

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Hell yeah boys!!

 

[Canuck16]

Leafs D is horrible. Marshmallowy soft.
Except for Polak, he is awesome.

 

[illpucks]

Did Mike Milbury just say, "Psychrogical Counsing?"

What was the context?

 

[Uncle Bill]

Good night Irene, good night. I recall many, many claims of "I’d rather play Boston because we beat them 3-1". "Without Matthews".

Lol. Twelve goals agin’ in two games... Generational beat down, two games in a row.

 

[ole ole]

He's closer to Matthews than Matthews is to McDavid.

Watching both tonight Pasta> Matthews

 

[Panthaz89]

Well Ducks and Sharks time to come...there is no hope for this game.

 

[Breakers]

Morgan Rielly is getting absolutely SLAUGHTERED.

He even has a look on his face like "Someone please help"

 

[c9777666]

They had way more time in the offensive zone 2nd and 3rd period. The boston top line is just ridiculous when they get a sniff at a goal

It's like the Legion of Doom- they wreak a lot of havoc.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I don't know if the Bergeron line can play better. But I know the Bruins have only had their foot 80% on the gas pedal tonight and the score is 7-3. With Riley Nash and maybe Wingels back for game 3. Leafs have some serious levels they need to empty if they are to even this series. The Bruins have been by far the better team and are well deserved of a 2-0 lead.

 

[BergyWho37]

So giving them hope was fun

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Haha Pastrnak-Bergeron-Marchand have 20 points combined in 2 games.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

It’s going to take a special defense to keep the Bruins from winning the Cup.

Or the refs.

 

[kingsholygrail]

So about that comeback...

 

[Langdon Alger]

Agree with this. Anyone who thought this Toronto team was a serious contender was kidding themselves. We need more action from our GM than getting Plekanec...

From an outsider’s perspective it seemed like defence was the team’s biggest issue. Andersen is a good goalie and the Leafs can score lots of goals, but the blueline needs help.

 

[NastyKnies]

feels great

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Good night Irene, good night. I recall many, many claims of "I’d rather play Boston because we beat them 3-1". "Without Matthews".

Lol. Twelve goals agin’ in two games... Generational beat down, two games in a row.

well truth be told, it does look like they're playing without matthews lol
He may as well be a ghost.

 

[PensPlz]

I have the Leafs beating the Bruins in 7 on my bracket.

Starting to regret that decision.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Pasta at a 369 point pace over 82 games.

 

[VainGretzky]

Pastrnak, my lord.

9 points in 1st 2 playoff games , I don't even think Gretzkty or Lemieux ever did that

 

[Coach]

So if the Leafs get swept, I guess Kadri will have one more game to serve next season.

Math isn't involved in your job is it.

 

[Plural]

Babs is going to need to work some miracle to make his guys believe they can beat the Bergeron line. What an absolute slaughter tonight.

 

[Laodongxi]

The series is not over ... it just feels that way.

 

[34]

Leaf fan here...The show is over for Toronto folks. Nothing to see lol.

Yeah, this series is OVER. Put a fork in it.

Andersen f***ing blows.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

HNIC song at the garden...
we want the cup chants
ole chants

Everything boston does rustles jimmies, that goes with the pats, sox lmfao.

BEATEN badly, sprinkle what you will but the score played a part in possession but even so the Leafs were exposed, again.

Their defense especially but the whole defensive structure wasn't going to let them win a playoff series against a good team.
