All your points are fair but also the goaltending can't gift Boston one goal every game as well.
If Boston keeps getting gifted goals, no chance the Leafs are winning this series. If the core guys don't show up for the entire game, every game, Leafs are not winning.
You can only overcome these things occasionally, not 3-4 times in a series.
BOS is getting almost half of its goals via their special teams
BOS PP is running at 50%, 5 of BOS 11 goals this series have come from it. So I guess the gifting is us gifting them PP's
So far the biggest issue this series is TOR special teams have been a disaster to where every time they take a PP its 90% likely not to score and their PK is so bad might as well just make it 1-0 before guy skates to the box
The other is when they are struggling to score more than 2 goals even with 4 forwards making almost 50m thats not acceptable (Yes I know ones hurt but that amplifies the issue). Basically its to where Sammy or any goalie has to either shutout BOS or allow just 1 goal or they lose. Game 2 might as well be a miracle with the fact they got 3 goals lul
No team is winning with a 9% PP or a 50% PK and for the so called goalie problem last 2 games = 2.59gaa and a 0.919sv that is far from the main problem lul. If anything should be up 2-1 if you could score goals like yah supposed to
Even Dangle mentioned that

Big boyz combined have 2 goals and 5 points not good
Look how TOR beat TBL
7-2
4-3
5-4
2-1
Game 3 and 4 were multi deficit comebacks lead by Matthews, Marner, etc
We need this kind of scoring from this team especially the big boyz
Gimmie a 5-2 win Saturday Matthews 2 goals, Marner 1 PP goal, Robertson a goal and Kampf as it's do or die
