One of the more entertaining games this year.

Looked to me like Swayman lost rather than the Leafs won. Toronto was taking all kinds of bad perimeter shots. This could have easily been a very lopsided game in Boston's favour.

Another smelly goal to start the game.

The difference between Pastrnak and Marner? Pastrnak can actually score on a breakaway. There was a ton of them in this game too.

Neither team bothered to play defense.

In the end it came down to goaltending. Toronto got the netminding they needed to win. Boston had an $8M meltdown let in five goals.

It was awesome seeing the Bruins blow that lead.
 
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is this Lohrei guy just straight-up skating into and knocking down our goalie before the Marner OT winner with no call. Stolarz even lost his stick. Classic Leafs vs. Bruins moment.

That's the Rielly we know when he's playing at his best
Marner looks like a man possessed, he's an absolute beast
Robertson is a talented kid, when it starts rolling for him he's bloody dangerous
Holmberg, I'll be buggered if I know what's happened to him over the break but I'm liking it
Strong effort from Stolarz, he gave us a chance when we didn't deserve it

Man I hope Nylander and Tanev are OK, we need those boys
Agree with everything you said nice goals by Mitchy today and I liked seeing Robertson mix it up in the scrums I’m really thinking it makes more sense for domi to be off that line out of the three of them move Robertson on his strong side move bobby up and get him a 3c

He walked us too in between
 
That's my guess, as well. Probably out a few weeks. It's ideal timing. He isn't needed for the regular season, and he gets rest for the long playoff run.
Hopefully he and Nylander are not out too long, but the rest might be the best thing long term.
 
Did Bérubé not speak to the media after the game? Surprised there has been no mention of Nylander, unless I missed it.

I saw on X that he mentioned it. Something happened and they both will be evaluated today.
 
Well, after 2 periods of disgusting hockey, our Leafs were able to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

Unfortunately, they gifted the Bruins a point. This is the kind of game, and opponent, that our Leafs need to be chalking up REGULATION wins against.

I really hope that Tanev and Nylander are not seriously hurt and out long term.
