Yeah, I get it, but AM should have rested instead of going for a personnel record of 70 goals. Funny, the Bruins core players (Bergeron, Krejci, McAvoy, Lindholm, and Ullmark) were injured last year just before playing the Panthers, yet no news was shared about it. They learned the hard way to ease out of the regular season and forget records that were personal and team-related.
The Leafs still had Marner, Reilly, Bertuzzi, Knies, and Tavares. Besides, Pasta was injured too, he was a shell of himself but found a way to overcome it. He blocked a slpshot in game 4 and was never the same. Some guys have that next gear, and some do not. It may well be a team thing and taking the coaches identity and vision.
