Marner looks good. He doesn't want to be traded this summer.

Also saw him give up the puck to avoid a Zacha hit with about 2 mins left....just take the hit man, otherwise I do agree

 

[thaman8765678]

Leafs and goaltending

 

[Clint Eastwood]

What in the hell was that period? Bruins need to wake up.

 

[93gilmour93]

Dominant period for the leafs. Marner looked like regular season Marner that period. Keep it going. Boston is crumbling under the pressure of blowing game 5

 

[TheNumber4]

Also, the fluke bounce that gave Boston their goal.

Fluke? Nah Bostons forecheck and Benoits inability to handle that forecheck created that chance.

Has Zacha turned into a hitter? I don't really remember him doing anything of the sort with the Devils.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Domi's got jam. He's legit a great depth piece for any playoff team and has been for years

He's one of the more portable players in the League. You can move him anywhere in a lineup depending on what you need at a moment.

 

[Chips]

Max Domi has played his way into finally getting a real contract, imo. None of this 2 year, 1 year BS.

How many points? I haven’t noticed him aside from some bad, avoidable penalties this series

What in the hell was that period? Bruins need to wake up.

Good morning face off didn't hit anybody and couldn't take a shot to hit the net but they were good at getting held up in their own zone

Montgomery kick a garbage can wake these clowns up

Whelp… it wasn’t pretty, but sometimes hockey is ugly.

The Bs need to win those faceoffs and just play better hockey. It’s as simple as that.

 

[nyrallday]

.500 save percentage. Ok

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Watching this game on the can, think I got whatever Matthews has…

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

This period is a preseason game for both. Not many conclusions to make.

Don't think anyone other than Carolina and the Rangers in the east match up well against Florida. They are deep top to bottom

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Leafs have zero structure. The team is just doing whatever they want. It’s terrible. Hilarious fans think this is good hockey.

 

[NDiesel]

Has Zacha turned into a hitter? I don't really remember him doing anything of the sort with the Devils.

He actually used his body pretty well this year. Think he had over 100 hits. Wouldn't call him a hitter though

 

[WarriorofTime]

How many points? I haven’t noticed him aside from some bad, avoidable penalties this series

1 goal, 3 assists through 4.333 games.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Dominant period for the leafs. Marner looked like regular season Marner that period. Keep it going.....

Dominance means owning the scoreboard. I've learned this the hard way, as a Pens fan. Near the very bottom of the league in finishing the last 3 years.

Good for him, Glad the change in scenery gave him a chance to reinvent himself.

If the game continues the way it's going the scoreboard will reflect that eventually

Start at the dot and build out. What an awful period. But hey, it's tied.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Bob Essensa has to be one of the most influential non-main coaches ever across all sports.

It’s not the coaches it’s a general metaphysical veil of darkness over Toronto. You could draft a 6’9 goalie with Hasek’s reflexes and he’d decide to quit hockey to pursue his underwater basketweaving career in his last year of junior.

It was a deflection iff a skate!!!

 

[AuroraBorealis]

That didn't come to pass for my team 3 years running. They constantly dominated high danger chances and corsi and missed the playoffs the last 2 years.
Fortunately the Leafs are less flaccid in front of goalies, generally.

 

[SoupNazi]

Bruins want to be in the history books every season

I'm led to believe the Leafs want the same thing?

 

[TheNumber4]

That one Oilers fan with the Oilers banner right smack dab in the middle of the Leaf’s Watch Party lol.

What a legend.
