Series Talk: How do we beat Boston in round 1?

[jimmycarter]

Leafs are looking like they stopped listening to Bruno Mars and drinking Organic Chai Lattes and started listening to Metal and drinking coffee black with no milk, no sugar and no spoon.

Our only win was without Matthews, but Boston was without Bergeron.
Kadri had a monster corsi game, along with Kapanen
Marner had 3 assists.

The game we lost 3-2 was pretty much the same..big Corsi game from Kadri.
Scoring stopped in the second, we couldn't break through in the 3rd. Halak was a wall.

5-1 loss was with Sparks in net
6-3 loss Andersen got pulled after 6 goals and the Tavares line was miserable.

We have never played them with Muzzin in the lineup.

Halak played all games against us.

It will be interesting to see who they put in goal against us in the playoffs. (they've been alternating them almost every game lately)

Is there a diagram that shows where Rask gets beat most? I mean, where pucks beat him most? And where do players who score on him beat him most?

might be Halak in net, tbh.

Seems some of the Boston media is already looking past the Leafs.

We were way better than Boston in the season series this year, but losing those games looks bad now.

Win 2 of those 3 that we lost and we're ahead of them.

That's hockey though,

Career playoff stats:
Andersen .911
Sparks ?
Rask .924
Halak .923

Need at least .920 from Andersen.

I think that's a good thing! Let them get overly confident

Tampa media and fans are doing the same. We’re getting no credit.

not sure about "way better", but we definitely weren't outclassed.

5v5 score-adjusted: 50.6cf%, 52.0scf%, 56.2hdcf% ---- .882sv%

much different than last year, when despite winning the season series 3-1, we didn't play great:

5v5 score-adjusted: 48.5cf%, 48.4scf%, 38.9hdcf% ---- .921sv%

which continued into the playoffs that year, but without the goaltending:

5v5 score-adjusted: 47.3cf%, 48.0scf%, 50.4hdcf% --- .886sv%



really need Freddy to be Freddy this year. not superFreddy, just Freddy.
