    I was at the game, my first playoff game since 2002!

    Great game, really tough loss for Toronto. They really need to turn their attention to David Krejci, he's single handedly putting Boston over the top in this series.

    Oh yeah, Rask was unreal.

    I haven't been paying much attention to some of the stuff in this series, but why did Kadri only get 12 minutes of ice time tonight? Has this been happening all series? And a lot of his ice time came after the double-minor, so he wasn't being punished for that.

    Kadri just didn't do much worth noticing, other than knocking Kelly down in the overtime. Give the extra time to Frattin, at least he was getting pucks to the net.

    At the start of the third, he had six minutes, and was last on the team in ice time amongst forwards. Just seems weird after the season he had that he's not playing anymore.

    Kadri has only scored a single goal in the last 16 games and when he's out there he's practically invisible and has no physical presence whatsoever.

    There is a long line of guys who deserve the ice time over him.

    I don't agree.

    Kadri has been physical this series. He is finishing his checks. He just gets out worked and his line eats a lot of time in their own zone. He is like 30% on the draw in these series (I think anyways) which is unexpactable. This should help him become a more reliable player.

    He is our third line center. Boston's 3rd and 4th line is damn good and Kadri is finding it really challenging to produce offense.

    Sorry Leaf fans, you deserved a better fate in that game.

    Boston has not been playing anywhere near the level they are capable of. Marchand has been invisible this series. "Invisible" would be an improvement for Seguin whose sole purpose has been to turn the puck over. Maybe he thinks he is playing for the Leafs since he was drafted with their pick

    Rask, Krejci and Boychuk have been the real bright spots on the Bruins.

    Did anyone else notice the sequence when Boychuk was so hurt he couldn't even stand up for about 30 seconds? He still threw his body in front of multiple Leaf shots. That guys is a BEAST!
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I know everyone will blame Phaneuf for that pinch last night, and to a degree rightly so as it was a bad decision. But what the hell was O'Byrne doing? Phil busted his ass to be back and take away the pass and O'Byrne didn't do anything! He didn't step up to take away the shot which he should have, Krejci had an uncontested wristshot from 12 feet!

    All in all a pretty good game by the leafs, the PK let up two huge goals but the also killed that 3:30 PP after Kadris dumb and lazy high stick. Reimer made a few fantastic saves but his rebound control still needs a lot of work. Kessel was fantastic and so was Lupul, Gardiner was also really good. Tough loss but this team is young and Boston is a team that has tons of experience and the core has played together for years now. I would love to see the boys force a game 7 but I'm not holding my breath.

    So does Orr "add" something other than truculence to the lineup that I'm missing? I know he doesn't play all that much, but he's sluggish, pretty bad defensively and has a tendancy to take silly penalties. He means well but come on.

    And yeah, I'd say the Leafs got a bum deal last night. I thought they were the better team all night (when Krejci/Horton/Lucic weren't on the ice).

    Leafs have outplayed them all series.
    Its been Rask and turnovers that have killed them.
    Im kindve glad they played Boston. Much better opponent then habs.
    Thus they r learning. And certainly showing alot of heart tonight.
    2-0.
    Things ive noticed.
    Reimer is real deal.
    And Leafs speed is killing the slow Bs defence.
    A couple of smarter plays by Leafs and this series is totally different.

    Boychuk's little hop over the boards was freaking crazy... seriously, 3ft vertical in skates?

    The Leafs looked so good for so much of this game... and the last 5 min have been terrible. They need to settle down and focus if they want to hold on.
