Not here to complain about the outcome. I'm actually happy the Leafs had a strong performance against the hands-down favourites for the cup.
But does anyone remember years ago when hooking was only called when someone was actually pulled down? Tonight's OT penalty used to be called 'defensive checking' and was just seen as strong defense. But you can still crosscheck to your heart's content in front of the net and the refs don't bat an eye.
Great playoff type atmosphere. What really surprised me is that Toronto had a losing record in both overtime and the shootout. With how loaded that team is I would think they’d dominate OT and the shootout. Either way great game
Points to consider: 1) Boston only beat Leafs in overtime at home. That's not exactly dominating. 2) Leafs got back O'Reilly and are on the upswing 3) Leafs know who they are facing in the playoffs 4) Boston has no clue who they are facing in the playoffs and while this might not matter there is a play adjustment that needs to happen for each team before the series starts – they can't start that yet. 5) Toronto will be facing a team that has just lost 2 in a row and is letting in on average 5 goals in March (Tampa) 6) Boston's three choices for the playoffs all are on a winning streak and a series might last longer than a Leaf's series with Tampa meaning that a potential round two with Boston and Toronto would have the Leafs more rested even if they don't have HIA.
Great game. Toronto took it to them. I’m an Av’s fan but I always root for the Leafs. Bruins are just a sick team. Good luck to both teams in the playoffs.

Bruins will be undone in playoffs 1st round

Always love to see Toronto lose
Pasta has been absolutely lethal from that spot all year….
These commentators are dull, need to fall asleep listen to the bruins commentators.
The Leafs need to make Pasternak HATE playing them instead of allowing him to run around like a salivating dog every time.
Fantastické 👌👍

One more win and they'll have tied the record for most wins in the regular season. Two more and they'll have broken it. And they have four games left.
Can we just scratch Schenn forever?
tavares looks old and slow. that contract is going to be an albatross for leafs going forward .
❤PASTA ❤
Good game Refs.
Depth, Determination, Dominance!!

A Big Beautiful WIN!!
