The good news for the Bruins is they now lead their first-round Stanley Cup playoffs series with Toronto 2-1 after a Game 3. Boston definitely looked better Wednesday with an impressive 4-2 road win over the Maple Leafs to regain control of the series. There's plenty of good to build on, but Bruins coach Jim Montgomery knows his team hasn't been especially strong in some important areas — and he's not alone in that thinking. The Bruins' leadership group, Montgomery said Friday, expressed some “concern” over the team's transition game, and it's a mindset Montgomery both agreed with and appreciated for Friday's practice.
