Rask looks beatable, though. A couple off the post already. This one ain't over.

Lupul and Kadri were pretty invisible that period. They need to get going to have some possession time in the Boston end.

Game over. We simply can't hang with this team. We're not a playoff built team.

Amazingly, there's a thing called the second and third period.

Doesn't matter. Bruins are men among boys. All they have to do is keep it on the boards. Leafs can't sustain pressure, can't keep possession and give away the puck all the time. Bruins are going to sail into a 4-0 sweep. They drew the weakest team in the playoffs.

Hopefully though, this lets Nonis and Carlyle know who should be retained and who should be replaced. You can't win playoff Hockey without a good possession team that also lacks board play. Simple.

And in the D-Zone we are as porous and weak as ever.

Let's be honest - Most of us expected this, though. The ones who didn't were wearing blue and white goggles.
 
I believe the Leafs are way too nervous, look at JVR, he had two or three good chances. It is not an accident, he is one of the most experienced Leaf in the playoffs.
 
Hope JVR gets one after that goal post. How's Kessel playing? I'm too nervous to actually watch the game.

This sucks but I consoled myself that this team couldn't correct it's deficiencies in that short of a time before playing a team that much more prepared.

And I'm calling right now -- the Leafs will not get swept.
 
A game of inches. Had JVR scored there we go to the room with the momentum. Damn post.
