ECQF GAME 1 8:14 PM ET - TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS (A3) @ BOSTON BRUINS - CBC, TBS, TruTV, TVAS, NESN (New England)

Grandpa Giordano can’t crack the Leafs blueline?

 

[Skate2Stick]

You’re right, 69 goals but you know, he could do more

Hmm. I didn’t say anything him about not being a great goal scorer, he is obviously world class.

You can be a world class goal scorer without being a line driver and vice versa.

 

[Score08]

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.

sarcasm right?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Leafs get smoked on 4/20

 

[Divine]

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

Who shut who down?

They scored on the PP and empty net when both players were off.

Zero even strength points (aside from Pasta's assist on it)

 

[sampollock]

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

And Revass
why is he out there like he just takes a spot on the bench and plays 5 minutes a game

Physically dominant? What?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Imagine having that comeback after getting smacked

Leafs were smacked 7-3 by Tampa in game one last year.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

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

100%. This wasn't a real Boston win, it was a PDO win.

 

[VainGretzky]

This is an HF goldmine.lol

Matthews not scoring
Marner invisible
Samsonov with 4 goals against
Leafs imploding in playoff hockey

Their playoff Avatars should have been Heinz 57

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Shutting down Pastrnak and Marchand

The question still stands

Yay, moral victory.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

I can't believe leafs didn't goon it up near the end...you know send that message

Reaves is too slow to catch anybody.

 

[Ugene Magic]

This was just an extension of the regular season series.

 

[Skate2Stick]

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

No he’s not but he’s definitely not that far off.

To me 13 goals away isn’t too bad.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Grandpa Giordano can’t crack the Leafs blueline?

Not for game 1.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Leafs were smacked 7-3 by Tampa in game one last year.

Didn’t tampa lose like half their defense…. Not sure you can bank on that type of luck

 

[Clint Eastwood]

It's only game 1. I've learned to not get ahead of myself the hard way. Nylander coming back will be an x-factor and for Toronto's sake, get Reaves out of there.

Bruins gotta bring that physicality all series long.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

What’s that gotta do with the comment i responded too?

 

[T REX]

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

If you're talking about Piesano's in Hogtown...great pie. If not, that's ok.

Your shut down forwards don’t PK?

Marchand does and shut down Matthews and Marner the entire night and then contributed offensively on the pp.

 

[REALTALK81]

Wish I could photoshop the Leaf logo on a couch surrounded by Bruins players. Leafs took a pounding.

 

[dhfa]

if by getting better they mean getting eliminated maybe

I actually though reaves had more scoring chances than matthews and marner
