Game 8 - BOS 4, TOR 1- Chara-less Bruins beat Leafs at ACC

Honestly, given the score and the result, when I had the chance to sit down and watch this game, having missed it live, I expected quite a Leaf performance quite a bit worse than what I ended up seeing. Boston had a territorial edge, but for the most part didn't generate much in the early part of the game, and the Leafs actually led in chances after two periods, despite being behind 2-0. However,  Toronto weren't good in the third period, and two quick goals saw a game that was still within reach broken open, with Bernier pulled.

That first period was really quite dull and chance-less, and the Leafs were unfortunate to be behind 2-0 when the chances were even.

The top line had a poor night, being kept under control by Boston and giving up more chances than the other lines. The second and third lines both had low-event nights; they weren't on for many chances against, but also weren't able to generate many themselves. On a night when Kessel or the powerplay is going strong, that kind of even performance would be fine, but on Saturday the team needed some offense from those lines that it didn't get. Richard Panik not only scored his first Leaf goal, he was on for his first ES Close chances of the season.
Phaneuf had his worst game in quite a while, -3 at ES close, with Franson and Robidas both -1. Morgan Rielly was really good again, the best Leaf in terms of being on the ice for ES chances, and has definitely seemed to benefit from the seven defencemen approach.
