Maple Leafs crumble against Bruins

Deleting six front-line players does not declaw these Boston Bruins.

Particularly when the Maple Leafs get lost in their den, wander aimlessly on coverage and get eaten in short-handed situations.

The B’s continue to get the better of the Leafs in the calendar year 2013, winning last season’s regular series, pulling off the Game 7 playoff miracle and now taking the first two meetings on this schedule.

Despite a wild week of injuries and incriminating behaviour that forced some major roster juggling in the second of back-to-back games for both clubs, Boston bounced the Leafs 5-2 at the Air Canada Centre.

Minus regular defencemen Johnny Boychuk and Adam McQuaid, sniper Loui Eriksson and checking centre Chris Kelly, with Chad Johnson in net ahead of Tuukka Rask and baddest Bruin Shawn Thornton in the league cooler, there was little let-up.

The Leafs, so fortunate to have escaped the past two games with wins despite 50 shots against in each contest, still couldn’t deal with this different Boston deck. And if they expected an easy night, they deserved the mauling, which might have prompted the curt responses to questions when the dressing room opened for post-mortem.
