In the first period of Game 6, the Toronto Maple Leafs dominated the Boston Bruins in terms of shots on goal (SOG), outshooting them 12-1. Despite the Leafs' offensive efforts, the score remained 0-0 at the end of the period, largely due to the performance of Bruins' goaltender Jeremy Swayman. The Bruins struggled offensively, managing only one shot on goal through nearly the first half of the game. This game follows a similar pattern to Game 5, where the Leafs also had a significant advantage in shots on goal (12-2) but ended the period tied. The Leafs had 20 shot attempts compared to the Bruins' 14, and hits were 25-23 in favor of Toronto.

It's hard to believe the Boston Bruins have one shot on goal in 26 1/2 minutes in a potential elimination game. Really unfathomable. (Shots are 15-1 for #Leafs. Still zip-zip)

Give Jeremy Swayman a Superman cap. He's the only reason #Leafs and #NHLBruins are zip-zip through one. SOG: 12-1. Shot attempts: 20-14 Hits: 25-23 TOR...(For one period! Playoff hockey, baby)
