The Leafs allowed the first goal on the first shot against and continued to make sloppy mistakes all night. After the Leafs nearly tied the game early in the second period, the Bruins were able to take a 2-0 lead and then capitalized on the parade of Toronto miscues to strike multiple times on the power play. It was 4-0 by the end of the second period, and a brief Leafs surge in the early third was not enough to make this a competitive game again.
A lot went wrong in this game: ill-discipline, a dreadful penalty kill, an impotent power play, puck management problems, second-best goaltending, and an inability to finish offensive chances.
