Yes they need to upgrade the defense core either with a trade or with just giving who they have some more time/experience, (not sure Zaitsev is a top pairing guy at all) but the problem is much deeper rooted. You saw guys leaving their check to chase the puck repeatedly (usually a forward) which then left someone alone in front or in a spot where they could just ease into the open space for great scoring chances.
It's been a clinic by the Bruins though. They have the Leafs so confused as to where the Leafs need to be defensively, its comical.

That's the way they have played for the past few seasons. They rely on outscoring their opponent and their goaltender making big saves. Andersen hasn't been on top of his game and it's not easy to score on the Bruins.

Yup, plus in the regular season, Anderson was lights out, making the Leafs look better than they were. Hot goalies can make average teams look great. Then when they cool off, everyone wonders what happened to the team.
The Leafs have some talented young forwards but are a long way from being a contender at this point.

Maybe all Plekanec needed was to play head-to-head against Marchand to get those competitive juices flowing. He was great tonight and that line of Marleau-Plekanec -Marner looked amazing.
Plekanec seems to know how to get under their skin. Bergeron was chasing him all over the ice.
If Plekanec keeps this up next game and the Leafs can slug out another win these top 4 lines might give the Bruins some trouble.

Lol don’t get ahead of yourself. The Bergeron line had all sorts of chances, I guess one decent shift by the Matthews’s line means you got them figured out!
Unless you are watching through some kind of homer Leafs goggles, Boston still looked like the stronger team tonight
Yeah, just off the top of my head I can think of three instances where Pastrnak probably should have scored but twice was robbed and once hit the post.
Leafs played good but I think Boston was better again tonight.

Lmao Stanley Cup parade back on. No wonder people hate Toronto fans....
"LMAO" I feel a lot of people on here have a reading comprehension problem.
Maybe you can re-enroll in your remedial English 101 class and ask your teacher for some help.
Please show me where my post comes across as anything near to what you are implying. My post is fine. You are the one who is the type of "fan" that causes other fan bases to hate you. Toss in a "LOL" and a "Plan the Parade". How original.
This site used to actually have decent hockey talk but it's going downhill fast.

If the Leafs win game 4, then we have a series. If the Leafs do not win game 4, I think it ends in 5 in Boston.
I do not think the Leafs will win game 4.

Marchand is so good at these accidental/on-purpose plays. He really is an artist.
He just happens to lose an edge and slides right into Johnsson. Then as he is falling his right arm accidentally comes down hard on Johnsson to make sure he goes down.
