Leafs @ Bruins - Feb. 3rd, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[ZBBM]

MARNER evensteven

 

[Strangelove]

Zaitsev is getting owned.

Just like he was before his injury. I don?t like his game this year.

 

[ZBBM]

Rielly saves Matthews' bacon.  Auston off kilter so far.

 

[Al14]

Nice blistering shot Kadri!

 

[Zee]

They look sloppy as hell tonight.

 

[Chris]

Bruins looked better that period, fortunate to get out of it tied.

 

[ZBBM]

They look sloppy as hell tonight.

Too many stretch passes against a defense slightly better than the last 2 teams we played.

 

[bustaheims]

They look sloppy as hell tonight.

They're back to ignoring the whole gap control thing, and constantly trying stretch passes. The Bruins are too organized defensively to make that work.

Also, watch how Boston handles their breakouts, and how their forwards are always giving their defence an easy option. That's what I want the Leafs to be doing.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

So the entire period was played in the Leafs end.  Nice. 

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I thought the Bruins played very well, smothered the Leafs for the most part. This is the tight checking Babs has tried to drill into the Leafs, relentless on the opposition D etc.

 

[Zee]

Lucky thing is they played brutally but are still tied. Hopefully they find their game in the 2nd.

 

[ZBBM]

That sequence was nuts.

 

[Bullfrog]

Despite some rookie mistakes, I have no doubt that Dermott should be a full-time NHLer.

 

[Zee]

That idiot Bruins fan directly behind Babcock is annoying.

 

[Al14]

They scored!  2 - 1 Bruins!

Go Leafs Go!

 

[ZBBM]

Andersen not sharp tonight, unfortunately.  First time in a long time.

 

[freer]

Sorry that one is all Andersen.

 

[bustaheims]

If this is indeed the playoff matchup, if the Leafs don't improve their play, they're going to get smoked.

 

[ZBBM]

If this is indeed the playoff matchup, if the Leafs don't improve their play, they're going to get smoked.

True, but OTOH unless Boston has suddenly morphed into TB they are playing over their heads a bit.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I?ve enjoyed the game, it?s tight but they?re still in it.
