Leafs can’t close the deal so it’s Game 7 in Boston once again Globe_Sports
Apr 21, 2019; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand is congratulated by left wing Marcus Johansson after scoring a goal in the first period against the Toronto Maple Leafs in game six of the first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Scotiabank Arena. The Bruins beat the Maple Leafs 4-2. Mandatory Credit: Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY SportsOne game after a near-perfect performance, the Toronto Maple Leafs showed they still have a few hockey lessons to learn.
For the first half of the first period, it looked as though the Leafs were going to show the coach they were catching on, as Morgan Rielly gave them the early lead. But a bad bounce on one power play resulted in a goal by Brad Marchand and sagging on the next power play allowed Torey Krug to score. The Bruins had a lead they never gave up despite a strong effort from the Leafs in the third period.
The Leafs had the Bruins on the defensive for almost all of the first 10 minutes of the game, right up until forward Tyler Ennis took a holding penalty. Then, a combination of bad luck and the Bruins’ ability to pounce on the slightest opening went against the Leafs. “They were fore-checking pretty hard and it was not as clean as we would like midway through the game. In the third [period], we had some pretty good sustained puck-pressure in their zone, some good opportunities just didn’t go in.”
