The Toronto Maple Leafs had everything going for them tonight - a return of William Nylander combined with TJ Brodie's series debut.
Unfortunately, everything went wrong tonight, with a serious lack of effort from the core four, as well as a terrible defensive performance.
Now biggest foe Brad Marchand, who turned the tides of game 3 with his penalty drawing antics already has two points after two periods.
This is a disaster in Toronto, and the fans responded briskly with loud boos to end the second period at Scotiabank Arena.
As this occurred, the Core 4 fought on the bench, and Mitch Marner threw his glove in anger.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will need to make changes quickly, as another first-round exit would be a horrible feat for the team.
Maple Leafs get booed off the ice in what is potentially the final home game for a lot of these players.
Absolutely embarrassing performance by Toronto. Game likely over
