The nerves should be out after that one. I expect a calm collected and crisp team ready for Saturday night. I won't be truly worried until we drop a game on home ice.
They have some winners on the team, some previous champions from various other leagues, it will just take some time.
Step by step.
I disagree. A short handed goal to take the lead would have sucked a ton of life out of the Bruins and their crowd.
The Jays aren't owned by MLSE, they are solely owned by Rogers.
Leafs lose 4-1
Jays lose 10-1
TFC lose 6-0
MLSE appreciates our generosity.
JVR hits the post; the Bruins go the other way. Game changer.
Bruins don't need to win any games on the road to win the series.
Bruins had 11 players alone dressed yesterday that we're returning players from their recent Stanley Cup team and Leafs had 11 players that have never played in a NHL playoff game before.
That showed in all aspects of the game and unfortunately a single NHL game is not going to change that advantage much.
You simply can't beat experience, and so its going to have to be a lot more than nerves out of the way to swing the momentum of this series our way.
he's actually very good at covering the rest of the net, and his glove hand just isn't as steller.
That was the turning point.
Which is why he can't allow goals to go under or through him, and in game one he did. He an be very good, but those types of goals are deflating to his teammates. The Leafs were doing well, until Riemer let in a 'softy'. Those 'softies' are momentum killers. His coaches or teammates won't say it, and they shouldn't. Reimer has shaky confidence as it is.
If there is ANY positives that I'm taking, it's that Reimer looked decent in the third period when the team mailed it in in front of him.

They choked and the more they tried, the more mistakes they made. It's alright. This is how they will learn.
lol we been hearing that since 1967 when these TV's where common in people's homes..
Should never have traded Kaberle
