Kinda crazy how much Nylander carries this team

People are starting to notice now. Happy about that. He is so underrated.

Shutting down Pastrnak and Marchand

Imagine having that comeback after getting smacked

 

[Mobiandi]

I still don’t understand why MLSE gave the keys to the final years of the Leafs core to Brad Treliving

 

[eviohh26]

Toronto needs a huge game 2 or this could over in 4 or 5. This game was never close at any point. I suppose it was when Matthews hit the post on the empty net . But it was 2-0 right after.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Strip the captaincy from Tavares.

 

[Koivu11]

Reaves about to have one intimidating interview.

 

[John Price]

Matthew’s didn’t take long to pull his latest disappearing act in the postseason. Impressive.

from 69 goals to this

 

[Leaf Fans]

Bruins up 1-0 and deserve it.

 

[Divine]

Shouldn’t Matthews be scoring goals and not be shutting them down?

He will. He's not an 82+ goal scorer.

Shutting down Pastrnak and Marchand

Yay moral victories!

 

[Chainshot]

At least you won't miss it now

That implies I have a life.

 

[Bizz]

This isn't even gonna be close. Bruins in 3.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Announcers are terrible, they only want to hear themselves talk, and none of is related to the game.

 

[T REX]

That Toronto's goaltending is far inferior to Boston's, and that despite outplaying the other team, they are always prone to losing because of it?

They outplayed Boston? For what? The 1st 5 minutes of the 3rd? Seriously?

 

[ziploc]

Leafs outshot the Bruins pretty handily. They can hold their heads high.

 

[Sheppy]

Dummied

 

[Master P]

The more things change the more they stay the same.

 

[Ouroboros]

Not a bad start for the Leafs. They showed they could be physically dominant - that will be in Boston's head going forward. If they just got a few bounces tonight's game could have been completely different.

I think Toronto are in a good spot.

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Leafs should seriously consider sitting domi out… he’s not helping them at all and bruins didn’t do anything and already under his skin

 

[Czechboy]

Lauko's block was a work of art at the end... he had a rought night.

 

[danpantz]

Shutting down Pastrnak and Marchand

Pasta and Marchand 3 points.
Matthews and Marner 0 points.

Who shut who down?

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

This was just sad. I dunno if the Bruins tanked the last game just to get the Leafs but I'm sure they have no regrets either way.

No that was just Ottawa dominating. They would have made the playoffs if it weren't for the slow start. Conference finals could have been a possibility looking at some of these matchups in the East.

 

[Block]

There is more than one Gainesville. The guys at the pizzeria I accidentally call remind me of this on the regular.

Yerp, Florida is probably the more well known one.
