Freddy A is terrible .

It was a run and gun game which fits the leafs style...

Their goalie just let them down.

Just horrible.

 

[M2Beezy]

Game 5 will be HUGE

Not true at all.

The goalie you are thinking of is Martin Jones.

This series has played out like we though it would. Evenly played, both teams winning on each other’s rink.

Did anyone really expect a sweep or another 3-1?

Honestly, this series not being 2-2 would have been surprising.

We already got our 2 shock sweeps in the East. We still don’t know how WSH/CAR plays out, so this is basically a series that can set the tone for what happens going forward with TB out.

Still very confident about Leafs changes in this series. Look out, Matthews has arrived.

big if true

 

[REALTALK81]

GG Boston. They capitalized on their chances. Leafs didn't. I said before that who ever won game 4 would take the series. I stand by that statement but hope that I am wrong.

Cherry is right

Leafs should have won this. Chara goal was back breaker.

Super frustrating.

Leafs played really damn well in this one, but too many brain farts.

Brown's penalty, even though it was a dive, was killer. uphill battle after that.

But the leafs were the better team in this one, and that makes 3 of 4 games now.

Feeling really good going into game 5. Totally different dynamic than last year.

Many leafs fans seemed to think it was over.

Even Bruin fans had this series being 2-2.

IIRC, a ton of people voted “Bruins in 5” in the opening poll. Lol.

Although after game 2, I thought it was the other way around.

Tell Debrusk to keep his knee in.

I can’t believe that people think the Leafs dominated this game. There were two instances in which the game was tied and in both cases, Boston controlled the flow of play quickly scored two goals. Outside of that, Boston had a 2 goal lead for nearly the entire game. As soon as Toronto made it a 1 goal game near the end, Boston completely took over the game and shut the Maple Leafs down for the last 5 minutes. This is a pretty classic playoff win where the shot count is heavily driven by score effects. That’s it. Boston was better.

So true. Series just turn in a dime

 

[c9777666]

Well, if anything, this guarantees Easter hockey.

according to the polls at the start of each first series thread, this was viewed by HF as the 2nd most lopsided series in the playoffs coming in.

We already got 2 East sweeps, so we were due at least 1 long series (maybe 2 depending on what Carolina does).

Leafs had this ! It was a run and gun game which fits their team perfectly.

Goalie just let them down.

Just horrible.
