Leafs were the better team, that's how. Leafs gave up 12 scoring chances 5v5 the whole game and only 4, 5v5 shots in the 3rd. Leafs had 37 overall chances to 17 for the Bruins.Bender said:Boys I don't know how we did it but we did

5-on-5 the Leafs have been the better team in both games, so far. If they stay out of the box and cut out the stupid penalties, they can win this thing. Still struggling with the stupid stuff, though.

Minor trouble spots:
- Knies dragging his line down defensively, but still doing some decent spade work on the attack
- Marner hasn?t really activated, granted he?s doing the shutdown duties sans Matthews and that is harder
- Samsonov, by nature of his playstyle, is inconsistent, so we have to work hard to make sure he gets clean looks and is positioned to be lucky
- too many stick infractions against a team that a) knows how to dive b) knows how to pass to Pastrnak
- breakouts getting targeted routinely
Bright spots:
- playing slightly better than Boston 5v5 short two of our better forwards
- Matthews still cooks with Bert and Domi
- Holmberg and Kampf pulling their weight

Marner is getting roasted and I think it's a lil unfair. I think Knies is hurting that line for sure and Marner's assignment as shutdown is def tough playing with JT and Knies.herman said:
We need Willy to get back asap because our 3rd line would be a lot more threatening with him there. L2 misses McMann big time.

I didn't think they played that bad 5v5 last game.just had to clean stuff up. They gotta keep it 5v5 and they'll be fine.Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:

Marner still sucks at playoff hockey. Everyone is going North-South aggressively and he is still trying to pick his way around the ice laterally like it?s December looking for a tap-in pass while skating at 50% speed. Knies is certainly a factor, but he?s the rookie filling in, while the 8-yr 11M guy is not really driving the line at all. All he needs to do is help carry the puck through the NZ and pump it on net/chip it deep so Tavares and Knies can bang it around. A blue line slip pass into coverage continues to suck the energy out of their legs.
Leafs are fortunate Matthews continues to be amazing without Marner.
