Now that we’ve hit a mini two-day break in the middle of the series, I wanted to take some time to collect my thoughts on the series.
First, let’s start with the positives.
At 5v5, the Leafs have generally controlled play. That was to be expected—the Bruins ranked 24th in 5v5 shot attempts this season. So far this series, the Leafs have controlled over 54 percent of the shot attempts. They’re carrying an advantage in both shot quantity and quality. All major statistical categories at five-on-five are around the 54-55 percent mark in favour of the Leafs.
