Come on man. They didn't lose because of line matchups. We're talking about Montreal here.Keefe got outcoached, Montreal line matched his top lines, if this trend happens the Leafs will exit the 1st round of the playoffs again.
1. Leafs played with no intensity or urgency. They looked soft actually.
2. The goalie sucked. Leafs would have had to score 6 goals to win this one. Doable but not with point 1 listed above.
They played the same way against the Kraken except the Kraken didn't play with any intensity either.
Montreal, however, played like they wanted to win this one.
Leafs play down to the weaker teams and allow skill alone to win.
Against the better teams they play more focused.
