If anything, the Penguins-Flyers game from last night has taught us that one game only means one game in the playoffs. No reason this should not be an open and competitive game for both sides.

These Kadri-less Leafs still look strong and capable to do the job against the ugly-ass Bruins.

No changes from Thursday
These lines are as deep as the dumpster Marchand lives in
The top line is good, I’m sure that’s the first you have heard it.

Starting Goalies

Andersen faced 40 shots on Thursday, while Rask only had to face 27.

Hopefully those numbers will switch places tonight;. Both of these goaltenders are capable of standing on their heads and shutting the opposition out. But I would say that Rask is the goaltender more capable of completely falling straight on his ass and letting in multiple flukey goals – Andersen less so.

Their lines for the season:

Andersen: 38-21-5 W-L | 2.81 GAA | 0.918 SV% | 5 SO

Rask: 34-14-5 W-L | 2.36 GAA | 0.917 SV% | 3 SO

Babcock on Game 2 adjustments: "No. 1, let’s be disciplined. You can’t be in the box. No. 2, our compete level right thru our group. You got to have everybody so competitiveness, on the puck, winning 50-50 battles, races, wall battles, net battles, that’s got to be our priority"

Tommy Wingels said he didn't like the hit. Wouldn't comment on it any further. He's a gametime decision, said he'll see how he feels he arrives to the rink tonight.

More Babs on Game 2: “With 4:25 left (in 2nd per. of G1) it was 1-1. Then we're short 11 of the next 24 minutes. Let’s be disciplined. You can’t be in the box. No. 2, you have to have everybody winning 50-50 (pucks), races, wall battles, net battles. That has to be our priority"
