I have not watched the other series... but from What I've seen in games 1 and 2, is that Matthews has not been able to battle effectively for the puck... or made good plays with the puck. I think Marner's goals were due to anticipation and good reads on plays as they develop...

I have not seen Matthews take a puck off a Bruin, or battle effectively for the puck...

These are important things that need to happen to win the game...

Toronto still hasn't won a playoff series against Boston since 1959. Golf Leafs Golf.

Interesting fact: Since NHL expansion after 1967 from the original 6....

Montreal Canadiens - 9 Cups
Detroit Red Wings - 4 Cups
Chicago Black Hawks- 3 Cups
Boston Bruins - 3 Cups
New York Rangers - 1 Cup

Toronto Maple Leafs? Not even a Stanley Cup appearance.

At least I was alive the last time they won. Doesn't look like I'll be for the next one though.

Matthews took this team on his back. 5 goals in 6 games tonnes of shots and coach plays him 18 mins in game 7

OK new season and partway in new coach. Old coach was doing some shady things behind the scenes. Don't think he will ever coach again, but made $50 mil.
The young guys are responding to Keefe. 3-0 so far and if can beat Buffalo Fri and Sat could be 5-0. Spezza is looking good. Lets look to the playoffs!

As a sens fan, I wouldn't expect much from Spezza but you never know I guess.

And still in desperate need of a second goalie (which they can't afford). No chance of getting out of the first round (assuming they make it) and yes I'm a Leafs fan.

Spezza is a great player .. the diamond in the rough on this team and previously under utilized. ( no question a D-Bag move by Babcock to bench him first game against Ottawa )

That said now Dumbass has his pond hockey team he wanted , coached by his pond hockey coach. yeah they are going to fly and dipsey doodle and get some pretty goals. But with the trading of Kadri , there goes the very last of the grit on this team , him , Uncle Leo, Polack, were all they had and even that was thin.

When the playoffs hit this pond hockey team is going to get pounded to dust , even if they make it because dumbass still doesnt understand what it takes to win in the NHL . he thinks it will be reffed the same as the regular season.
oh well , i will watch anyway ..

he sat out because he felt he had to carry the whole teams pride on his shoulders because everyone else were pussies.. you help a guy like that not dump him. But he will be fine .. he will have a much better shot at the cup than his ex team mates ever will...
