In the biggest games, the smallest details matter most. As lukefoxjukebox notes, they're what came back to haunt the Leafs in Game 4.
The Perfection Line had been struggling to produce 5-on-5 through three games, and Cassidy informed his troops of the trickery a few hours before game time.
Pastrnak, 22, established himself as a Leaf killer in the 2018 series, but he was struggling to find his rhythm this week. Cassidy felt he needed to do something, anything, to get his three-time 35-goal man fired up. Cassidy still threw Pastrnak on with the vets after icings and on his fear-inducing power-play, which went a perfect two-for-two. The recharged sniper struck twice. Look out.’s second line, Bergeron reminds, is a tactic Cassidy has used a handful of times before.
"Special teams, obviously, tonight could be a little better on that side of it," said Tavares, who doesn’t kill penalties.Boston has now converted on five of its 11 chances with the man-advantage this series .The only playoff team with a worse penalty kill than Toronto’s got swept by Columbus.
