Marner with the garbage goal off a real weird bounce.

If the Leafs keep playing Zaitsev and Hainsey against Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak, on the PK, there will be no getting back in the series. That I can tell you. Might as well pull the goalie.

I don't think the series will come down to that.

If the Leafs score, they'll win. If they don't, they won't.

The Leafs control their own destiny.

Well you'd hope that Babcock wouldn't play Zaitsev and Hainsey together going forward, especially on the PK, that's just asking to get scored on.

Like I say, I don't think that's the issue.

It's all going to be decided in the Boston zone.

If the Leafs pay the price and get to the inside, they will score and Boston will lose.

If the Leafs just stick handle around the outside, they won't get to Rask and Boston will win.

The Bergeron line will score, that's going to happen.

But that's the only line Boston has. If the Leafs score, they will overcome that. If they don't, they won't.

1 garbage goal a king does not make.

[Smitty-48]

That's an example right there.

Even tho Marner wasn't crashing the crease, he none the less paid the price to get the penalty shot.

Then he got to the inside to get to Rask.

[Zlaxer]

Son of a bitch

[Smitty-48]

Rask is vulnerable.

If the Leafs can get to the inside on him, Rask will be exposed.

If the Leafs let Chara intimidate them and so they just stick handle around the outside without going to the net?

They are toast.

Boston is a one line team.

They are beatable.

It just comes down to whether the Leafs are willing to pay the price to score, or not.

Why is Zaitsev and Hainsey a PK pairing though? Like Babcock is retarded, straight up, Marner and co might bail him out, but fuck he's dumb.

Babcock is like an anchor, but again, if they just score, that won't be a problem.

The Leafs can only beat themselves, they have enough firepower to blow Boston out of the rink.

But you can't do that from the half wall in the playoffs, they have to take the rock to the house.
