Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins Locked On Podcast Network

It's now a best of 5 series between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs, and there's a couple players facing pressure heading into Game 3: Brad Marchand and Mitch Marner.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down why Marner is feeling heat in Toronto, and how Marchand can write his own story as team captain by winning this playoff round.

Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery stuck to his goalie rotation and gave Linus Ullmark the start in Game 2. The reigning Vezina winner was very solid, but very few goalies could have stopped that Auston Matthews gamer winner.

The bigger issue for the Bruins? The Leafs are controlling play at 5 on 5, and they're not making life difficult enough for Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ilya Samsonov.

The Boston Bruins decisively won Game 1 by a score of 5-1 over the Toronto Maple Leafs thanks to secondary scoring, power play success, and Jeremy Swayman's 35-save performance. Locked on Bruins host Ian McLaren argues the benefits of sticking with the hot hand and rotating goalies, arguing either way, the Bruins have an advantage in net.

Here we go again. The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs will meet in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in 11 years, and Ian McLaren of Locked on Bruins and Mike DiStefano of Locked on Maple Leafs get together to preview the series.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren argues Boston's goaltending makes it more likely that the Bruins will win, then counters that by arguing Toronto's "core 4" will be too much for the Bruins to handle, pushing the Maple Leafs to finally beat the black and gold.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren looks back at expectations for this team heading into 2023-24, and breaks down a few reasons why they exceeded them in a so-called "transition" season.
