I think we can hop up and down all we want about who didn't show up to play but the bottom line is, the Leafs should of been up by a couple going into the 2nd. And probably up at least 3-0 by the end of the 2nd period. The leafs ran into hot goaltending the entire series.
Were they all firing at full capacity? No. Not even close. But if Korpisalo is even a little human in game 1 and game 5, this series goes the other way.
Tavares and Matthews were the best two forwards. As they should be. Marner can tend to be too cute, but that's always been his M.O. It's also what makes him so fun to watch.
Nylander was invisible. Even when they gave him his own line, he was invisible.
As for Andersen, I'm not sure what else we can ask of the guy. We can get excited about that 2nd goal against last night(it was awful), but where were the rest of the group. You can actually see Andersen look out and shake his head when the Columbus player shakes his head. How do 4 players go for a line change together with no idea where the puck is or who has it?
