My doctor told me that if I continue to be a leaf fan I'm going to have a nervous breakdown so I stopped 😂

Boston is a playoff team. The Leafs are a regular season team. It's really that simple.

Fun fact: the Leafs still haven't led the Bruins at any point in any game this season.

Auston Matthews 'be on camera without spitting everywhere' challenge. Level: Impossible

Lots of talk about "on paper" with this matchup. There is no sport where the "on paper" matchup matters less than playoff hockey.

Toronto still has PTSD every time they play Boston.

These highlights are better than the official NHL KZfaq page.

I expected nothing and I was still let down.

-Habs fan here Gotta give props to the player that blocked a slapshot with only 4 seconds left in the game! He didn't need to since it was 5-1, but he did it to set the tone for the series so respect!

Some Leafs were smoked on 4/20 today

i never thought id be able to say Reaves has more pts then Marner + Nylander + Tavares + Mathews combined! 🤣

Leafs arent built to win a cup... they are built to entertain and take your money and dreams!!!

Why did Sportsnet upload a game that happened 3 years ago? Wait it’s the same every year with the leafs 😂

Love the shot block in the final seconds up 5-1 by Jakob Lauko. Bad news for the Leafs. The Bruins came to play.

Jake Debrusk is a certified spring time Leaf killer.

More pictures of Matthews looking frustrated please...

This was the first time I’ve seen Boston this year. It’s kind of crazy how much faster they’ve gotten, and how each line plays at the same pace. Their D is awesome,

Boston lost the last few games just so they can play Toronto and have an easy first round like they thought they would have last year

So, Bruins score five, Toronto one. In addition Bruins have at least four posts, A. Matthews pulls out a disappearance act. Yep, it is definetly playoffs time and mode in Toronto

My heart skipped a beat when Swayman came out to challange Mathews

Peak Toronto. Never change

Well done Leafs team and Management, keep promoting Matthews' 70 goals! (at the expense of team preparation and success) - that's why I am not a Leafs fan anymore, I prefer to cheer for the Bruins as they have team-first mentality (yes, even if I'm Torontonian)

This was Toronto's 8th straight loss to the Bruins regular season and playoff, Wow!!

leafs are the dallas cowboys of the NHL

The Boqvist kid is getting really good!

Don't tell me it's too early to talk about .... they cannot re-sign Mitch, especially to the $12.5M per contract he is already demanding. Or if they do, it has to be a sign and trade for a goalie and d-man or draft picks. What few people realize is that Leafs are done for the next 10 years having traded away all of their picks and not being able to re-sign Marner. Yes JT is leaving, but you still have to replace him. And you need a top tier goalie + at least 3 defencemen. Hot mess. Good luck. Total chaos and mismanagement of this team.

Rooting for the Leafs is like watching National Geographic and rooting for the prey when it’s being hunted

Leafs doesn't look like a team with chemistry

Matthews just entered Houdini Mode for the playoffs and made himself disappear 😂

Nothing is more satisfying then a great cup of coffee in the morning after the Leafs lose.

Watching the game I was thinking, how did they even make the playoffs? No defense, No Goaltending and No bottom 6 forwards. Treliving should blow it up, the only player worth keeping is Matthews.

Toronto looked defeated before they even took the ice. Listless and scared. Boston is in their heads.

Mathews progressively spitting out more and more until its all his insides lol 9:29

Leafs fans be like: "this is our year"😂

Man it's fun being a Leafs hater in the playoffs...

Reaves has more points than Matthews.

This game was men vs boys

If toronto loses this series you'd think the keefe days are done.

BEAUTIFUL game one!

Who else came here cuz the official nhl video audio sucked? 😂

Three more like that pls. That Mathews’s face is what hockey world needs

I got 69 goals, but in the playoffs I got none.

The Leafs 4-0-1 set up is really working well for them 😊

A healthy Bruins team with solid new guys - oh boy !

Keefe should start sending out resumes now.

The turning point in the game was the 1st face-off. Up to that point, the Queefs had a chance.

The stakes are high for the Bruins. They MUST NOT let the Leafs go past the first round. It would be a true tragedy for Hockey fans...

Im just happy both teams had fun tonight.

Leafs, if you seriously lose to Boston AGAIN just delete your franchise. This is ridiculous at this point. EDIT: At least my Flyers aren't even supposed to be good

Fun fact: tonight I scored as many goals as the “best goal-scorer in hockey”

It felt like the Leafs goalie had some of the slowest reaction times I have seen. I am pretty lucky to have Demko and Ian Clarke as a goalie Coach.

Ryan Reaves had better stats in this game than John Tavares. John Tavares played twice as long.

Different year, same old Leafs. All the bad vibes after game 82 were on full display tonight. Sad part is, Boston didn't even look that good. The Leafs played like hot garbage.

There is people in this world that think Matthews is top 10 🤣 I miss those guys. They're too shy to show up now.

Has anyone seen a boy named Auston?

Lol Samsonov is not helping their chances...

Just like coach Keefe drew it up lol

I love that. Boston Controls. That's how you sum it up. B's in charge.

And, just like that Leafs' fans realize they were actually a better team last year.

go bruins!! lots of love from Mississauga 🐻🐻🐻🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Wait did any Leafs fan actually expect a different result? Can't wait to re-sign Marner for 13mil+ this offseason.

Я просто зашёл сюда чтоб напомнить листьям что плей-офф уже начался.📣

That shot block with 3 seconds left was epic lol

Let’s go Reaves 😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Keefe is truly genius 😂

Bruins have 2 things the Leafs don’t have, Defence and Goaltending.

It's that time of year when the Leafs big core goes into hiding!

The way Andersen played against the NY Islanders, Leaf's must be happy he's no longer on the team, it would ruin the golf vacation.

12 mil for 4 players hahaha Brad Marchand was laughing and certainly correct

Round 1 curse raises its head 👾

Hard to believe that the Leafs have never won three rounds in the same postseason in franchise history.

Leafs going to get swept. Bruins are their daddies.

leafs gonna have to wake up tomorrow for game two with bruins goal horn as an alarm clock

I wonder if the leafs could even win the memorial cup 🤔

Honestly, the captain sets the tone and I don't see Tavares as someone who lights a fire under his guys rear ends. The cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports and you need the leader to come out and lay a few hits on guys like Marchand, Pasta, I mean get in there, do something to make a statement. I don't see that from 91.

Hear that camera crunch on goal 5? that was the sound of the Leaf's dreams cracking.

This could easily have been 10-1 Bruins - they dominated that much.

No Nylander, no chance - he’s one of the few who I thought really upped his game last playoffs for the Leafs. A sweep wouldn’t be surprising but I’m going with 4-1 series win for the Bs.

Was Mathews off tonight or sick or something cause it didn’t see him on the ice.

1967 🥰

Just flippin BRUTAL....

My expectations weren't that high but man...

Rumor is that Mathews and Marner are negotiating with MLSE for more money for playoff points.

Have they set the parade route for Yonge St yet?

Let's just say I'm not surprised

Beautiful game BRUINS 👌

Some things never change

Johnny Beecher was the best player on the ice in my opinion. He made some incredible plays and won a ton of board battles, but those don’t show up on the score sheet.

I stop watching Maples leafs since 1984 -1985 when they finished season with 20 wins 48 points .

Toronto only dumps the puck, Boston goes in with passing plays. The leafs are outclassed.

Domi played great as far as I’m concerned. He played with passion heart and with a good physical presence. I know he took a bad penalty but he still played hard. Let’s hope some other key players step up their game Monday night.

ok guys from toronto... I am being honest. The buds started out ok. They seemed like they were very enthusiatic and they were taking it to boston. However - they were too eager that they checked themselved into giving away a key breakaway and boston scored. The goalie (send a prayer for him) samsonov honestly did a decent job in the first period. But then they left. They also had bad luck, that breakaway should have been by some other player, the post by austin m. really really unlucky. There are two thing that make play off hockey , one effort and second luck. The leafs put in a decent effort to have that scored at least closed down to 1-0 by the end of the first. But really really bad luck which could have swung the momentum to their favour with a 1-1 equalizer that should have come but never came. I dont believe it will happen honestly. I think they are a team that do not show up fully dress for play off hockey. Samsonov did a decent job. But unortuantely he is not a goalie that IMO will carry the team with showstopping saves and demoralized the other team and give the momentum back to the buds. It is a joke to the leafs. I am calling this series like Boston in 6.. I was far too nice in thinking that the leafs had any grit like the good old teams of sundin , steve thomas, igor koralev with feliz potvin and curtis joseph. That team had two 70 pointers and the rest were mediocre players in terms of points. But they played well as a unit. So I am sorry, how is that team with better goalies and mid point scorers but better team play better than a team of super overtly paid superstars with 3 over 70 pointers and several 40 - 50 pointers and yet they can't even score 2 goals. No thanks. They need a superstart goalie and mediocre players to play as a unit. This series is over. 4-1 or 4-2 for the Bruins. The buds should have scored at least 2 -3 goals. They are never going to go to past the first round with efforts like that and that type of luck. Goodbye rac st whte annex people, raci s t st george plp , yorkville etc etc etc (hoods from toronto that I dont like). Go boston GO. Go rangers go!!!

No Leaf's goaltending again, means out in four.

Even before the game started Toronto got drawn into a macho man contest - the stupid slashing by Domi. Exactly what Boston wanted.

I'm a big time bruins fan I'm glad this was my first playoff game I attended TD garden was rocking

it's only game 1 but toronto's gotta compete to make this interesting, this should be a crazy series

I heard Leaf fans chanting we want golfing

Last time I was this early, Arizona still had a team. Nice job on sharting yourselves publicly AGAIN, Laffs.

Swayman is insane man

We've got it all wrong. The Leafs are the smartest team out there. If you crash early in the playoffs you are preserving your career. Fewer games, less wear and tear on the body, longer career, maybe 2 or 3 years longer. So instead of "Go Leafs Go" it should be "Think Of Your Career".

The Leafs are going to get spooked by their playoff boogeyman again, are they? Toronto's penalty kill and defense is going to be the death of them. Boston in 5.
