Just like that. Another Debrusk dive but Dermott has to move the puck way quicker.

Pretty glaring difference between our special teams and theirs. Let?s keep this 5 on 5.

Man this passive penalty kill is awful to watch.

Way too much Marleau early on. He looks awful. Rest of the team looks good though. Just need a bounce.

The whining in that article is hilarious considering the penalty disparity and one-sided calls all series.

Couldn't disagree more. It was light contact outside the crease that in no way had an impact on Rask's ability to stop the puck. He was coming up anticipating a Muzzin shot, lost sight of the puck, and by the time he realized the puck was going across the ice he never would have stopped...

Debrusk needs a diving penalty at some point this series. It?s so blatant.

After the horseshit calls on the Leafs how the he?ll do they not call a penalty on the blatant Hyman trip. What is going on?

Given the problems the Matthews line is having, I wonder if there's a chance we'll see Nylander and Kapanen switched so that we have a first line that actually has an opportunity to dominate possession. For the reasons everyone is pointing out, Kap can't cut it in that role at this stage of his...

To me he?s lacked intensity, particularly tonight but also throughout the series apart from a couple standout plays here and there. I guess I was hoping for a bit more.

Also Zaitsev is chronically out of position on the penalty kill. Seems like it should be an easy fix but it?s been the same story all year.

Matthews played well for stretches. Unfortunately Tavares was invisible (again), Marner was ineffective, the third line continued to do very little and Andersen was very shaky. It would have been nice to squeak out a win here but it seems like Babcock is incapable of getting the Leafs to...

Hainsey and Zaitsev are not getting it done on the PK.

The refs have unofficially decided that the Leafs are ineligible for any further powerplays so the Bruins are free to run interference.

What was Andersen doing there? Garbage phantom call on Muzzin but it would be nice if we could kill penalties.

Matthews didn?t move for a good 3 or 4 seconds before Boston scored there. Terrible effort. Should have been an interference call when Rielly was taken down beforehand. 

Matthews getting dominated in possession stats every night isn't acceptable in the playoffs. He needs to be significantly better for the Leafs to have a chance. He also needs to do more to justify being paid like the second best player in the league.

It's interesting that Leaf fans are still interested bringing up a game in which everyone (particularly Andersen, with a 0.829 sv%) played terrible. Until game 7 Gardiner was probably their best defencemen against Boston last year. I expect a similar story this year.

Where is Ennis? They?re not playing bad, other than their powerplay (and Marleau). The stationary perimeter thing they?ve got going on continues to not work.

A few takeaways: 1. Auston Matthews is elite in the offensive end but spends way too much time coasting in the defensive end. 2. The Leafs are not nearly as good at controlling/transitioning the puck and breaking up opposing rushes when Gardiner is not in the lineup. 3. Muzzin was somehow a...
