It's remarkable that Matthews leads the Leafs in both goals and assists (and that he's not even going to play tonight)

 

[KevinFinnerty]

eliminate the Leafs and the semis can begin once Carolina desposes of the Islanders

 

[hatterson]

The special teams difference in this series has been nuts.

3 points?

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Everyone hoping for a close series here gets to experience the misery of having to root for Marner, Tavares, and maybe Matthews.

This is more remarkable:

Brad Marchand- 3G 5A 8PTS

Core Four- 3G 3A 6PTS

Is this a win or go home for Shanny and Keefe?

Story of the series right there

Yea 5 on 5 the series has been really close.

Game 1 was 2-1 Bruins 5 on 5 before the empty net.
Game 2 was 2-1 Leafs 5 on 5.
Game 3 was 2-2 5 on 5 before the empty net.
Game 4 was 2-1 Bruins 5 on 5.

So in 4 games it's 7-6 Bruins at 5 on 5.

But the Leafs have taken several dumb penalties and then have just completely failed to kill them off and haven't taken any advantage of the penalties they've drawn.

Exactly correct and as a Leafs fan, I can't see it magically changing somehow for 3 straight games. They're cooked.

no nostrils will be the story line on SN "film at 11"

 

[Kranix]

With Papi out, Reavo is going to step up big time

Basically the hope is that they catch a couple bounces and the refs absolutely swallow the whistles.

I'm not about to hold my breath.

did not the figs get a pile of PP time already? so they had there chances

 

[Kranix]

Save Keefe and Shanny by stepping up in a big way

Right, they haven't converted it. The hope is that the refs swallow the whistles since the Leafs have been much closer at 5 on 5 than they have been if the game has 3-4 PPs each since that has roughly equated to 2 goals for the Bruins and 0 for the Leafs.

 

[McHelpus]

Kind of want the leafs to win without Matthews. Plant the seed that Matthews needs to be one traded for a "Canadian boy" as Don Cherry would say it.
