In a critical Game 4 of their playoff series, the Boston Bruins secured a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The game featured key moments including James van Riemsdyk scoring the opening goal for the Bruins at 15:09, his first since mid-February, following a turnover by the Leafs' Ryan Reaves. Brad Marchand later added to the Bruins' lead with a power-play goal, making it 2-0. Despite a goaltending change by the Leafs in the third period, the team struggled to overcome the deficit. Mitch Marner scored for the Leafs at 5:43 in the third, bringing the score to 3-1, but it was not enough to mount a comeback. The Bruins now lead the series 3-1, with shots on goal even at 7-7.

Marner on the bench chat: "We’re grown men. We’re talking about plays that we just want to make sure we’re all 100% on. We’re not yelling at each other because we hate each other. Willie and I and Auston, we talked about it after and we’re just trying to make a play." #Leafs

Marner on the conversation on the bench with Matthews and Marner: “We’re grown men. We’re just talking about plays out there that we all want to make sure we’re 100 percent in. Just a little off page there. We’re not yelling at each other because we hate each other.”

Updating again. The Leafs have scored 3 or less in 11 straight playoff games. 2 or less in 10 of those 11. Perspective...they were 2nd in the regular season with 3.63 goals per game this season. It's a different game in the playoffs.
The #leafs have lost six straight playoff games on home ice, getting outscored 21-11 in the process.
What a series by Bruins’ Brad Marchand. Leafs could use a leader like him.
Things could change but as it stands, the Leafs have scored more than two goals just once in their past 11 playoff games.
