its crazy how much better Swayman is than Ullmark too - which is also crazy to say about a guy who just won the Vezina. I think the Bruins will keep the rotation going for a bit but this is clearly gonna be Swayman's team very soon.

I just wanna say, a random shot off the boards on a routine entry is exactly the goal Leafs goalies give up every year and no goalie they’ve ever faced does. It’s so frustrating to only ever see that happen one way

Only tangentially related to what you said, but Coyle is a very good player, and he deserves more respect IMO. Do you want him to be your #1C? Probably not. But he's good!

Yeah he went from being kind of a disappointment as the centrepiece of the Burns trade into a really good two-way guy, sorta Danault-like

He’s so much better than people think, probably because he can’t actually score. He’s incredibly good at stickhandling and skating though.

Vasilevski was garbage last year though.

Bertuzzi was trying to skate out the zone to I dunno play hockey or aomething, he didn't hook himself from behind.

I mean yeah he doesnt score that much, but he still had 25 goals and 60 points this year. Career highs and because he got to be top 6 all year of course, but he'd been a 15 goal/40-45ish point guy on the third line for years

Again, not a real #1 center, but I'm kinda surprised it took so long for him to get a real shot in Bostons top 6. Even considering they had Bergeron and Krejci for a lot of the time he's been here.

Vasi was victimized by random seeing-eye point shots through traffic and I’m not sure how much of that was him and how much was variance tbh

if you just ignore marchand you keep getting slashed or he scores, so it's actually more the ref to call when he's being egregious

they keep saying there's like 100 hits in this game and there's no way that's true. Like, I'm watching the game and it's definitely physical, but there's no way we're at 100 hits.

Boston gets to play prevent defense all period and the Leafs historically are not great at breaking through
