Boston will adjust, Freddie Fat Head is just going to have to find ways to stop the puck.
All hopes on fuck face.
If you're gonna get the split, the goalie has to stand on his head for at least one of those games.

Can't have a disgusting fatbody back there whiffing and coughing softies up under pressure.

Andersen is Jekyll and Hyde, so you never know who is going to show up, Freddie Toskala or Freddie Vezina.

It's like a coin flip, so I can't really get that worked up about it, que sera sera.

It's absurd how many blatant slashes Chara gets away with which other D would not.

Not that it's going to decide the series.

None the less just another example of how corrupt the NHL basketball reffing is.

Matthews is parking himself in front of the net.

That's a good sign.

I like this Johnsson - Matthews - Kapanen line.

If they can be effective, that allows for Nylander to play with Kadri.

That's how the Leafs have to go here.

They need to exploit their advantages.

Three lines against one.

Yeah Matthews doing his Dave Andreychuk impression is a good sign.

Leafs power play is still floundering.

That's a bad sign.

The power play is too top loaded.

Too many puck handlers for one puck.

They should go back to Matthews and Nylander with their own powerplay and balance the ice time out.

Marner needs the puck, Matthews needs the puck, it's counterproductive to have them on the same power play.

Marner with Tavares, Matthews with Nylander, exploit the depth.

The Leafs were actually good defensively in the third, Freddie Fuckface didn't even have to steal this game.

Pleasantly surprising workmanlike road win.

They threw the switch after all.

Things are looking up.

Obviously Boston will adjust, none the less, the Leafs didn't have the same nervousness they had last year.

Boston's only advantage is psychological.

If the Leafs ain't gonna catch the Boston flu, the Bruins could be in trouble here.

Leafs West has to do the same as Leafs East.

They've got to score.

Just have to get inside on Mike Smith.

Get a couple goals early, take the pressure off Grubie.
