Nice to see the Leaf kids doing so well.  They earned it combined with poor shooting and bad luck by the Capitals.  Those two elements by the Caps will not continue through the series so the Leafs still need to find another gear.  But not panicking, especially during the man disadvantage in the 2nd period, was impressive.

Kadri needs to be careful as his loose behaviour could become costly.  He plays a fine line and has gotten away with it mostly so far.  But it could go south if he is not careful.  Nylander's quickness is a real asset that is fun to watch.

Capitals are coming.  Question is whether the Leafs can withstand the onslaught.  Leafs got away with one this evening but sloppy play like the beginning of the game is not something they can continue to do if they want to pull off the upset.
