The Boston defense is a lot slower than I thought.
Throw it into the opposite corner, and the Toronto winger is usually the first one there with lots of room.
That was a big difference tonight from the first two games.
The other difference was more physical play from both the defense and forwards. Plekanec, always leading with the crosscheck.
The defense rubbing out people along the boards, hard. You got to wear them out with the hitting. If you don't do that, they will wear you out sooner or later and take the series.
It is a good thing there is an extra day to the next game. Leafs always do better with rest.

Hyman has been head and shoulders the better winger on that line.
Maybe that line needs another Hyman!

Good win, but we will not win this series if we continue to play this poor defensively. We got very lucky tonight with Boston hitting a few posts and Andersen making that one amazing save. The giveaways up the middle, the missed assignments... it's unsustainable. Leafs really need to tighten up.

Kapanen hit a post and Andy let in a couple of soft ones, which made the game closer than it is. We deserved this game. But yeah, we could still be better.

They're legal so long as they aren't to the back of the head. And they're f***ing vicious. You don't even wanna see the cuts/damage they produce.

The guy is underappreciated. He is obviously not the guy you pay the big bucks to but I can understand why GM's would overpay for consistently average to good performance.Hyman has been head and shoulders the better winger on that line.

The Leafs got their pay-back karma for some questionable officiating decisions in Boston. No more b*tching about reffing for a while; that power-play was the big difference maker this game... If the Leafs hadn't gotten it, then game 4 might very well be an elimination game for them.
Sure but the Leafs have had their fair share of untimely posts in this series. It wouldn’t be close to a one goal game if Andersen didn’t give up two bad goals before he settled in.
True... but the Bruins got an insane amount of puck luck in game 1 and especially game 2. Leafs were due for the hockey gods to give them one back. Can't count on that again though.

What a flippin game by Marleau. He was a force tonight with Plek and Marner. Nice to get Matthews going a bit and nice to see Andy make some big saves when they were needed most. Good entertaining game but we know we can be even better.
After all the doom and gloom in the pre game thread, I guess Babcock wasn't insane for trying that line.

Absolutely. We just can't rely on outscoring our defensive issues. If the Leafs get their bounces and the Bruins get their bounces, it's a 5-4 or 6-5 win. But we know you don't win sustainably that way.
I don't want to crap all over a win. I'm elated. I'm just hesitant to gloss over the flaws I saw in this game, which were carryovers from the first two games. We need to be even better next game.

I like the idea of freeing up kadri n shutting down marchand line too but the kadri marner marleau line did the shutdown duties along with scoring only second to the Matthews line. So if the line is going now with plakenic i can bet my life it is going to only get better with naz on it.
I know it can be inticing to keep plakenic at 2nd cause it's working but kadri at 4th line is a huge waste of skill, the guy will be going crazy to get back in. At max play him with kap n AJ for the first period or so n shift him back to 2nd line once he gets going

I would never wish injury upon any player and I hope Komarov is all good but please please please god let him remain on the sidelines for the rest of the series
100%. We need to be even better. We still gave Boston a lot of freebies in this game that they didn’t convert. Unforced errors are the worst, it’s a lot more palatable if the Bruins work hard to get a goal. We had some bad turnovers that I’m sure will get taken care of.
Boston knows we mean business, they will come to play so we have to play better than we did this game. I just hope Freddie is dialed in from the start of the game. It was resilient of the team to come back from two very deflating goals that tied the game when the Leafs had pretty much all of the momentum.
Leafs need to play better with the lead. We won but we could be a lot better with the puck.
Our PK still scares me. Just find a way to tie this series.

One thing Plekanec has over Kadri on that line is Bergeron and Marchand seem to really dislike him. He was in their heads all game.
