Maple Leafs core four turn on each other during Game Four
The frustration has set in for the Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans. Already down 2-1 in their best of seven first round series against their nemesis Boston Bruins, the boys are now trailing 3-0 through 40 minutes in game four.
On the bench, the core 4 turned on each other with William Nylander tossing profanities and Mitch Marner throwing his glove in frustration.
It's an absolute disaster in Toronto, and a Maple Leaf meltdown that'll live on throughout a bummer of a Summer if the boys can't turn it around.
Meanwhile, the sellout crowd, who were criticized by radio voice Joe Bowen for being reactive and not proactive during the team's 4-2 loss on Wednesday let their heroes hear it with boos as they headed off the ice for the second intermission.
The thought was that the leafs, who received superstar William Nylander back from injury would have an offensive party, but they've been turned aside by Boston goaltender Jeremy Swayman who's on his way to improving to 6-0 against Toronto.
Couple that with the fact they yielded another power play goal and gave up an odd man rush which led to a late David Pasternak goal off a feed from Bruins captain Brad Marchand and this is what you get.
The Leafs are on the verge of being pushed to the brink of elimination if they can't rally and will have to face the hostile TD Garden on Tuesday in game 5. If they don't turn things around in the third, the boos will follow them all the way back across the boarder.
