Game 2 in Boston was an opportunity for the Leafs to bounce back after a 5-1 loss in the opener and even the series.
Right from the start of the game, though, the Bruins took it to the Buds and crushed them to take a 2-0 series lead.
David Pastrnak records six points as the #Bruins crush the #Leafs to take a 2-0 series lead.
A post shared by TSN (@tsn_official) on
It was a tough game to watch for Leafs fans and once it was over, fans were feeling a number of different emotions and had different outlooks for the rest of the series:
The Leafs haven’t touched Pastrnak in two games. One thing for a guy to pay a price and score, he could have these goals without equipment.

David Pastrnak hat trick. First Bruin with a playoff hat trick since David Krejci in Game 4 against the Maple Leafs in 2013.

Leafs fans are probably starting to realize that Ryan McDonagh is worth more than their 2 worst players and a 10th round pick in 3045.

Traditionally the workday is 9-to-5 but if you want to be done early like the Leafs, you take a 7-3 instead.

If you consider yourself a true Leafs fan, you either support them through their good and bad times or you don’t. There’s no in between.

There's no answer for that top line. The Leafs don't have a defensive pairing that can cover them effectively.

Everyone relax. Did the Leafs have a 100+point season with Moore and Martin in? Were those the players that beat Boston before? Changing the lines & trying to match was a mistake. Roll our lines out over and over, get a rhythm and we'll be fine. #TMLTalk

Gonna bring up the 2013 series vs Boston on a more positive note. We’re we not down 3 games to 1 and won the next 2 to force game 7? Ya we lost but with this team, I believe a game 7 would turn into a win for us!!! #TMLTalk #NeverGiveUp

#tmltalk if you're going to lose by 4 goals a game, you need to at least bruise your opponent a little bit. I don't see this series getting any better
