I figured Joe Bowen’s radio commentary would spur some morning-after controversy:

Desperate hold from Tavares to prevent a breakout on the empty net. Surely they’ll pull the goalie again to skate 5 on 5.
Now Leafs radio complaining that the fans aren’t supportive enough to give the Leafs a true home ice advantage. Sad.
….and an empty net score. Thanks for coming!
I think David Kampf’s stick barely ticked the puck off of Trent Frederic’s shot, fooling Samsonov enough to tie things up 1-1 with about 2 and 1/2 minutes left in the period.
And soon after a great chance for the Bruins to take the lead. Make that two chances.
Maple Leaf radio guys giving true confessions midway through period one.
Well, both frankly admitted how terrible the Leafs have been on home ice in recent playoffs history…
…and then of course how that must change. BIG GAME tonight, therefore…more than just who takes a 2-1 edge.
Mika Zibanejad wiiiiide open on the Rag power play for the 2-1 lead.
(Interesting that he actually hails from the country of Zibanejad, nestled amongst neighbors and once Soviet Union provinces Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.)
