Teams naturally play better without their best players because they have no other choice. You should know this. The Lightning won a Cup with Stamkos playing just one game.

Vasi, Point, and Hedman only played 1 game that year?

Because Stammer is at best the 4th or 5th best player on the Bolts during those 3 consecutive Cup Finals.

So extremely frustrating to watch. All the stuff Boston did right in the first few games - it's like they totally forgot about what helped win and dominate the earlier games. Winning the small puck battles, getting the puck out of their zone quickly.

Boston was playing like a group of individuals the last 2 games instead of as a team. All these players trying to bring the puck into the offensive zone only to lose it or get tied up. I was telling my son when Maroon tried to bring it in the Leafs zone with three guys in front him instead of just shooting or dumping it in - it was indicative of the whole game. I also noticed a number of Boston players were wiping out or falling down while skating. This didn't seem to be happening earlier. Something was definitely off with the Bruins.

I don't like the Leafs but I will concede they did many things right and deserved the win. The blocked shots, taking the man instead of watching the puck. And Woll played great as he has done most of the time he has been given an opportunity since last playoffs. If Boston doesn't even come close going back to how they were playing earlier, they will lose game 7. And as much as it pains me to say it, they will deserve it. I have to give the Leafs credit tonight for playing with significantly more heart with their backs against the wall.

Did the refs also tell Boston to only have one shot on goal in the first period?

Bruins need to be investigated then….can’t be betting while playing

Two wrongs do not make a right, how does the phrase go? Toronto fans certainly will not be upset over it.

The next many times we read the wailing cries however, this will be recalled.
