The momentum in any series is ever changing for a lot of reasons. The Leafs looked bad for most of the first four games because Boston executed a game plan that enabled them to clog up the neutral ice and move the puck quickly from their defensive zone up the ice. Then you throw in the fact Boston has had incredible goal tending and the Leafs goaltending has been mediocre at best. Boston coaching correctly thought if they could play a quasi “trap” style game that stifled the Leafs offence the Bruins goaltending would win them the series. By the fifth game the Leafs executed a game plan that enabled them to counter what the Bruins had done in the first four games and it gave them more offensive opportunities while shutting down the Bruins offensive play. Add Joseph Woll’s goaltending which has been as good as Swayman and the momentum changed in favour of the Leafs. The Leafs also started playing like there was no tomorrow (which there wasn’t). Game seven will be an incredible game.
