Boston head coach Jim Montgomery acknowledged that 'desperation' was the determining factor in the Leafs' victory, highlighting how Toronto outplayed the Bruins in all aspects of the game.
Bruins captain Brad Marchand emphasized the Leafs' willingness to give everything and stated that Boston needed to step up, pointing out that they failed to match Toronto's level of play and intensity.
Montgomery admitted that the Bruins' execution and effort were lacking compared to the Leafs, particularly after being outshot significantly in the first period. He mentioned the positive emotion from the crowd as the only aspect where they matched Toronto.
Despite the disappointing loss, Montgomery couldn't pinpoint a specific reason for the Bruins' slow start, ultimately concluding that Toronto simply performed better, leaving Boston unable to secure advancement to the next round.
