Tokeletesen osszefoglaltak a Toronto Sun-ban:
"The Leafs weren’t beaten up physically. They weren’t overwhelmed by the great Bruins players. They were put somewhat in doubt when Babcock wouldn’t overuse his stars down the stretch, stubbornly rolling out his lines on the road to elimination. That may not have changed anything but isn’t that why Dubas is dolling out huge money for Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner next season, after paying William Nylander so much this year?
Right to the end, Babcock’s singular ways did him in. After the Leafs pulled their goaltender with more than three minutes to play, the coach put out some of his best players and also put out Patrick Marleau, who did nothing in the series for the Leafs. A few seconds after that, the Bruins scored into an empty net and the win looked more one-sided on the scoreboard than it did on the ice. Third line centre Charlie Coyle scored and it was 4-1 Boston and good night Leafs." |
