Leafs take Game 1 against the Bruins on a pair of Marner goals, solid goaltending Globe_Sports
Toronto Maple Leafs right winger Mitch Marner celebrates after scoring on a penalty shot against Bruins goaltender Tuuka Rask during Game 1 of their first-round playoff series in Boston on April 11, 2019.One year ago, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost a seven-game NHL playoff series to the Boston Bruins in the first round because they did not have an answer to the Bruins’ first line of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak.
“I always like starting the second night so everyone gets a reminder how good it is and how fun it is and how hard it is to win,” Babcock said. “It's an exciting time of year and you earn your way here. We're excited.” Outside of one stupid mistake and one bad penalty kill the Maple Leafs put on a clinic of how to play on the road in the first period. They used their one big weapon, their speed, and kept their emotions in check with one exception and should have gone into the second period with a better score than 1-1.It was as if they went into the game with centre Nazem Kadri’s remarks from the morning skate still in their heads: “We’ve been here before. We’ve had that heartbreak.
This time around, Leafs forward Kasperi Kapanen lost his man in the Leafs zone, who just happened to be Bergeron. He snuck down into the slot by himself, took a pass from Marchand and there was no way Andersen was going to stop that one.
