Paul Bissonnette drops 4-word prediction for Toronto Maple Leafs' future after dominating win over Bruins
Paul Bissonnette is a huge Toronto Maple Leafs supporter and has even supported the Leafs by going against his Spittin Chiclets co-host Ryan Whitney.
On Tuesday, he was excited after the Maple Leafs beat the Boston Bruins in a 4-0 shutout, sharing a tweet after the Leafs' win.
“Parade is back on. #LeafsForever," he tweeted.
Bissonnette was active on X throughout the game. Before the final buzzer, he kept the excitement going and asked Toronto Maple Leafs fans to enjoy the win.
“Leafs fans, you’re allowed to enjoy the good times. Don’t feel bad for enjoying tonight. We’ll beat the Bruins for the first time in 9 games and we’re still the kings of Ontario. Take a victory lap. Sweet dreams Leafs Nation,” he tweeted.
Bissonnette also praised Matthew Knies for his third period goal:
"Matthew Knies. Net front God. The Bruins are dead."
The Toronto Maple Leafs' power play was their major concern this season, but on Tuesday, they utilized the power play to secure the win. Captain Auston Matthews was missing from the lineup due to an upper body injury, but the Leafs were determined throughout the game.
The Maple Leafs scored three power-play goals, with Morgan Rielly scoring the first PPG goal and also contributing two assists. William Nylander and Matthew Knies added a goal and an assist apiece.
Toronto Maple Leafs secure win after two consecutive losses
The Toronto Maple Leafs were struggling before their win, losing two consecutive games. They looked weak in offense and defense in their losses to the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues.
In the 2-1 overtime loss to Minnesota, William Nylander scored a power-play goal, but other top players like Auston Matthews were held scoreless. In overtime, Max Domi failed to clear the puck, which led to Matt Boldy’s breakaway goal.
Meanwhile, Toronto took an early lead against St. Louis but lost control in the second period. They allowed three quick goals, including a rebound by Colton Parayko and a deflection off Jake McCabe's skate, which gave Jordan Kyrou a goal.
Poor puck management and loose coverage let the Blues capitalize. Toronto's stars like Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews didn’t score after the first period, and the depth players couldn't make up for the loss.
In both games, Toronto’s top players couldn’t score enough, and their defense allowed easy goals. The Leafs’ lack of strong defense and limited scoring were the key issues.
