Playoff Notebook: Leafs push the Bruins to the brink with near-perfect Game 5 road win

“They can’t start games the way they did, and they can’t continue to not be able to kill penalties. Heading into what will be a loud Boston crowd, those are the two main concerns to be mindful of.”

Well, the Bruins didn’t score early (not until the final minute, in fact) or build much momentum and the Leafs penalty kill went for three-for-three. The result? The Leafs now have the Bruins on the ropes, heading back to Toronto with the opportunity to close out the series.

Boston felt good about winning Game 4 and they were getting a notable player back in Sean Kuraly.
