Leafs did us a favor tonight, dont let that go to waste tomorrow
The Krejci- Pasta combo looked good against the Rangers . Not sure what we saw today is really representative of what those lines are capable of . If they put up another dud tomorrow, sure put Pasta back up with Bergeron but I would give it another game before doing it .That game could have gone so much better for the Bruins than it did. It was a rough one to watch on a Saturday afternoon. Cassidy needs to stop messing with the line chemistry and leave MoJo with Krejci and DeBrusk while leaving Pastrnak with Bergeron and Marchand. How this is not an easy thing for the Bruins to comprehend is beyond me.

Bruins have got 4 games left to figure out what they will do with Johansson. Obviously his play will dictate what transpires but at this point Heinen looks like the better option in the top 6 . The Kuraly injury is looming large . He was pivotal to that bottom 6 .Two things that stood out to me besides all of the weirdness, Johansson looked pretty bad today. I hope that he gets his legs back but really he was way out of sync. Rask's timing was somewhat questionable too.
Another thing was that Griz didn't look like he's over whatever it was that he was out with.
All in all though they were due for a game like today's. Not all teams are perfect every game and IMO sooner or later Tampa will go thru a down spell. I hope it's in the first or second round but we'll see.
Agree on Kuraly. Good point.Bruins have got 4 games left to figure out what they will do with Johansson. Obviously his play will dictate what transpires but at this point Heinen looks like the better option in the top 6 . The Kuraly injury is looming large . He was pivotal to that bottom 6 .
This game was probably the only game all year that I regretted spending the time to watch it . I’m really not invested emotionally in these 4 remaining games . Leafs aren’t catching the Bruins , they are practice games .What a mess. Just finished the DVR. Wish I hadn't. Nothing like playing down to the level of your opponent.
Boston plays against 2 teams in the Playoffs and Toronto plays against including one that is tied for the Wild Card. They definitely have the tougher challenge.
