We weren't good enough, simple as that," Jim Montgomery said. "Toronto came out ready to play and we weren't ready to match their desperation."
It remained a tie for the remainder of the game. Despite the Bruins showing more life in the third period, it was too little too late for the team who spent too much time on the defensive and not enough sustained offensive-zone pressure.
The Maple Leafs took the lead at 5:33 of the first period. After the faceoff, McCabe threw a long snap shot on net which traveled through traffic out front to beat Jeremy Swayman. 1-0 Maple Leafs.
The Bruins tied the game at 13:54 of the first period. Pat Maroon and Jesper Boqvist forced a turnover in the corner. Maroon got the puck loose and threw the puck out front to find Trent Frederic in the slot for a quick shot past Joseph Woll's glove. 1-1 game.
