ECQF: Game 1 7:11 PM - Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins | NBCSN, NESN, CBC, SN (4K), TVAS

[Arhidia]

Leafs have been very suspect defensively this game.

5 shots against

 

[Hank Plank]

I feel like people are just saying their made up minds. Leafs have given up 4 shots in 13 minutes yet they act as if the team is getting demolished.

Leafs don't have a good scoring chance yet they're making it very easy on Boston.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Johansson telling Heinen, on the bench, to shoot that.

Leafs have been very suspect defensively this game.

Well, in their defense, the Leafs have been suspect on defense for the last couple decades...

 

[Bounces R Way]

5 shots against

Plus that wide open net goal..

 

[Just Rude]

Relax boys. Long way to go yet.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Leafs don't have a good scoring chance yet they're making it very easy on Boston.

Well that's just not true.

 

[Gnome17]

Babs look confused. Does he even know where he is?

 

[Arhidia]

Plus that wide open net goal..

Game 1 on the road
1st period
Im sure they will take that

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Lol Bruins crowd not even booing Rielly. Is this even a playoff game?

Why would they? Do you really think the Bruins crowd is that concerned with him??? Yah. No.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Matthews has been pretty good at least

Feels like he’ll get one

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Good chances

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

I honestly think this series goes 7 games, with the Bruins edging out the Leafs.

Each team has things that they can take advantage of on the other....and Frederik Andersen more than makes up for many of his team's defensive gaffes.
Bruins are gonna have to work for a series win.

 

[HuGo Sham]

no idea why leafs didn't keep martin and komarov

 

[Del Preston]

Johansson was begging to get rocked.

 

[Daz28]

Someone got dropped

 

[ArGarBarGar]

5 shots against

Yeah, Leafs did a good job in the first half of the period putting the play more in Boston's end. However in their own zone they have not been exactly stellar.

Do you think they have been sound defensively by what you have seen?

 

[Ezekial]

Solid hit.

 

[DropIt]

Brown with a huge hit. Leafs need more of that for momentum swing

 

[compan]

Best hit of the game and we all saw that coming for a good couple seconds

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Leafs starting to find their game now

 

[Daz28]

Tavares right in the crest.

 

[DropIt]

Missed call on Moore

 

[Hank Plank]

Home ice officiating in fine form.

 

[TMLeafer]

Yep, no penalty there

 

[Kamiccolo]

Honestly the Bruins look beatable. It hasn't even been a period yet. This is going to be a close series.
