Speaking about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ playoff woes, NHL insider Chris Johnston noted on his podcast this week that audio likely exists of the bench argument between William Nylander and teammates Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will do their damnedest to never let the audio see the light of day, but NHL insider Chris Johnston notes that William Nylander was wearing a mic the night he returned to the Leafs lineup for Game 4 versus the Boston Bruins.
Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs are preparing for the worst, yet again. The Maple Leafs are down 3-1 in their first-round series against the Boston Bruins, and while they’re not done yet, they haven’t been playing well, and their chances of coming back seem slim.
As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman put it himself in the latest episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast, Game 4 on Saturday night may have been rock bottom for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

When starting to write this series I think there was either optimism or naivety involved. I didn’t account for how difficult it would be to come up with positive takeaways as the Leafs neared elimination, especially when there wasn’t a sense of urgency in the performance to get there.
On Saturday, April 27th at the Scotiabank Arena, the Bruins took Game 4 with a 3-1 victory for a 3-1 series lead. Brad Marchand passed Cam Neely for the most career playoff goals in Boston Bruins history when he scored to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead in the second period.
There are a lot of things that went wrong for the Maple Leafs on Saturday night and being downed 3-1 in the game as well as 3-1 in the series probably take precedence for the concerns.

Toronto Maple Leafs franchise super star Auston Matthews had himself a game to remember in Game 2 against the Boston Bruins. He was in on every goal, assisting on two and scoring the eventual game-winner off a highlight reel, mid-air pass from Max Domi.
