Face-off Circle Is Focal Point of Leafs-Bruins Series TORONTO - As the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins prepare for Wednesday's Game 4, the gamesmanship between the two veteran coaches is in full swing. Toronto Coach Randy Carlyle has spoken with the series supervisor Kay Whitmore regarding face-off etiquette, but Boston Coach Claude Julien says Carlyle is crying wolf. "There were some things going on out there that we don't agree with," Leafs Coach Randy Carlyle said. The explanation that I was given between the periods, it's supposed to be visitor down, home down, puck down and that clearly was not happening as per video. The Bruins lead the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, two games to one, after a 5-2 on Monday in Toronto. Success in the face-off circle has been key for Boston, as it has all season. Through three games, the Bruins have won 119 of 205 draws good for 58 percent. They won 56 percent of their draws during the regular season, led by the league's best face-off man Patrice Bergeron. He came into the playoffs winning 62 percent of his draws. "That's a big part of our game, starting with the puck as you know," Julien said. I've heard a lot about the face-off issue and I don't know, I looked at the video too. Julien added: "When you lobby for something, it's because you're looking for a bit of a break next game and that's what Randy's doing right now," Julien said of Carlyle's comments. He's lobbying for some breaks on the face-offs and it's going to be interesting to see whether the referees and the linesmen do their jobs next game and not worry about who's crying wolf. Boston won 60 percent of the draws in Game 3, and the Maple Leafs" top center Tyler Bozak was waived out of the circle numerous times. "It's part of the game, both sides are cheating pretty hard in the circle and I was getting caught more than them," said Bozak, who won only 12 of his 39 draws. "I thought they were doing a good job of cheating and early in the game I was trying to read and react off what they were doing so I tried to counter it by cheating back and it just didn't" go my way." A Bozak face-off loss to David Krecji in the first period led to the game's opening goal from Adam McQuaid. The Maple Leafs" weakest point was in the offensive zone, where they won only 30 percent of the 34 face-offs. "We have some guys who are pretty good on draws," Bruins center Brad Marchand said. They're going to continue doing what they do and not worry about what's said off the ice and try and play our game.
