There was a lot of intensity in the game, some drama, and a bunch of non-calls against Boston, as per usual. The fact that the Leafs did not have a power play the entire game is hard to believe.
Here’s your game in ten:
1. In a bit of a curveball, Mike Babcock had a surprise in store by uniting Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews. The Matthews line went head-to-head against the Patrice Bergeron line and I believe that’s what drove this decision. William Nylander really struggles breaking the puck out when he’s pressured, and Babcock shifted a winger he has been using against top lines for over a year now.
