Anthony Travalgia: Bruins drop the ball in loss to Maple Leafs Bruins drop the ball in loss to Maple Leafs

If you play sloppy hockey against any decent team, chances are, you will lose.
On to the next game...

If Marchand's shot that hit the post and stayed out at 3-1 had gone in, the whole game would have been different.
Speaking of Marchand, I see he hasn't changed cross checking Tavares from behind, then getting a misconduct.
Once a spineless weasel always a spineless weasel.

I don't think they took the Leafs very seriously last night and they paid. Careless plays.

No reason to take a team with the top goal scorer in the league seriously, particularly with the same amount of points after 65 games

Bruins were due for one of these games. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back next game. I particularly want to see how Swayman bounces back from being pulled.

Lots of hockey left, going to have a tough first round match no matter how you slice it.

You guys are so bitter. It's pathetic. You're pathetic. Get help.

Tough match up if it's the leafs vs bruins but I for one welcome it in the first round if there's entertainment like last night. Leafs need to beat the Bruins in the playoffs to shed their playoff demons.

Good game

Good lord you reek of first round exit. Go take a shower with your tears already.

I think more than likely it will be Leafs-Lightning first round. But we will see. Lots of hockey left.

The level of arrogance required to state the Bruins didn't take the Leafs seriously is astounding .

If that's the case then see you in the second round when you beat the Panthers with Chiarot.


Such a bad trade

We will see if they can pull that off. A lot of firepower behind that squad haha.

Here for the snide comments, stay for the trolling. Kindly see yourself to a place where your opinion is valued......if such a place exists.

Bruins were careless and sloppy, Leafs pounced on every mistake. They're not gonna give up 6 goals very often though, good time to swap Riley for Gryz.

A level of arrogance because I made an observation that the bruins played careless hockey last night? They didn’t take the game as seriously as they should have.

Astounding take.

I quote " I don't think they took the Leafs very seriously last night and they paid"
Is that my take or your words?
In any case the Bruins are obviously a very good team, and so are the Leafs.
If they play again it will probably go 7 and you probably will win because our guys don't have the belief and your guys have been there/done that.

Depending on where division leaders finish... WC1 could be crossing over and then.. IF the teams last, could be Conf Finals...

I know the (many) previous 1st-round exits have made you insecure, but come on...

This is true. No matter what the Bruins face a team with a better goal differential and higher goal totals. I think its going to be an interesting first round no matter who the Bruin's get and they will have to find a way to tame the offense.

Every series in the east is going to be awesome this year. Personally, I think i'd prefer to start with Tampa. The Panthers and Leafs SHOULD be playing with a lot more desperation in round 1.

Prediction: If the Bruins play the Leafs, whoever has home ice in game 7 is going to lose.

I would probably prefer tampa over the alternatives as well.

And interesting prediction. I can totally see that happening.

I'd be insecure too if Justin Beiber was designing my teams new third jersey and my teams sponsor was TikTok. I wonder if they will wear the black and yellow version in the playoffs.

I honestly can't believe they approved a Black and Yellow jersey. (Ill admit that i think the Blue version is pretty awesome.)

The Bruins have matched up with Tampa very well this season. Would prefer to avoid Florida.
