The Leafs did not look capable of containing Tkachuk in Game 1. If they can’t find a way…they better outscore...
TORONTO – Boom. David Kampf, meet Samuel Hunter Bennett. One third of the scariest line in the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.
These Leafs, to their credit, have proven a resilient bunch so far in the postseason, and they roared back just 11 seconds after Bennett’s goal on a stunning, between-the-legs spin-o-rama tally from impressive rookie Matthew Knies, his first as an NHLer. Michael Bunting, showing fresh legs in his second game back after a suspension and healthy scratch cost him four games in Round 1, equalled the score at 2-2.
“They do a really good job below that crease, below that goal line and make plays out of it,” Marner said. “They crash the net hard and get those second opportunities. So we’ve got to do a better job making it harder to get out of that goal line.”
