Not a great start — but have survived. A Bruins goal here would be REALLY deflating for the Leafs.

Chasing a bit early. Gotta find a way to get clean zone entries. B’s are dumping it in and Leafs moving it right out.

Hate to be that guy but get some shots on net. Already passing up shots looking for the perfect play that ends up in a turnover.
Let's get some rubber on Fredrik

Tap in for Pasta if he finds the puck back door.

Edit: was higher off the ice than I thought.

I get it they’re trying to prevent the stretch pass but they have to be more aggressive in the offensive zone. Not winning enough pucks.

Disappointed with the approach. They're going to find themselves in a hole pretty soon if they have another period like that. Hoped they'd come out of the gates with a little more fire.

Just feels like they haven’t spent enough time on their front foot through too much of the series.

Love the defensive coverage in terms of maintaining numbers but they are taking no chances offensively.

Got to look for the stretch pass in behind Hainsey / Zaitsev

Defense has been better at limiting chances, but the Bruins aren’t playing with the puck. 36% CF for the B’s, but scoring chances were 6-5 Toronto and 3-1 Toronto in high danger.

They need to figure out the neutral zone and getting clean entries. Dump and chase is a white flag.

Ice is going to be shit real soon if it isn't already, get pucks deep and play N-S. E-W isn't going to work tonight.

I love Bruins fans. As soon as Marner flipped that puck a roar went up from the crowd. They’ve got their heads in the game.
