Wings challenged goal #1 last night? And it was denied?

(frank)ing twilight zone game...

Ex-Leaf curse becomes an ex-Wings curse for them.
A goalie interference call doesn't screw the Leafs.

I would assume because he got lost in the shuffle of a team featuring Matthews, Roslovic, Keller, Tkachuk, Bracco, Greenway, Kunin and White.

Wow, a pretty loaded team. But yeah, seems like the Coyotes may have missed taking Strome over Marner and Werenski, but really nailed that pick. 40 points in 48 gp in the AHL, and 2 goals in his first 3 NHL games as a 19 yo.

they are trying to figure out who cut the cheese between them!

Clayton Keller is probably going to go pro next year and do Nylander level nasty.

it was the kessel/phil/sister pic, it wasn't right!

Gald they didnt choke the 3 goal lead away for a loss.

THese kids really have to pick if they expect to catch the Islanders, as they seem to be on fire.

I think Boston should be the yarget, second wild card puts them against Washington, and nobody wants that.

Andrei Svechnikov 2018

Kaprizov is having Kuznetsov levels of success in the KHL. Give him two or so years and he might pop into the NHL at 22 with 5 years of pro hockey under his belt and ready to win the Calder.

They should make sure she isn't taking testosterone injections.

Could put her hockey reputation on the line.

Looks like the Burrows trade is working out so far for the sens

Is it me or has Bab's been trucking every other player out there for important draws except Bozak? We've been losing games and not getting possession in our end yet Bozak just sat on the bench and we just kept losing games.

Finally last night....he puts Bozak out, what was he thinking the last 15 games?

Or is this a year of learning and whatever happens....happens?

Experience for the kids.
The only reason Matthews is out there most times....is to get experience. Cause he's lost some big draws at the end of games.....but its important experience.

So, the team really doesn't care about playoffs would be my guess....until last night all of a sudden.

Maybe handedness too? Don't want a righty on the left-side pushing it back towards the net? (Didn't watch last night so I'm not sure on that specifically)

It is a bit weird. It's not even like it's kids either though. It's either Boyle or smith when he was in the lineup.

Maybe Babcock doesn't trust him after the faceoff.

The acquisition of Boyle is a clear indication the Leafs care about making the playoffs *this* year. Having said that, Babcock has intentionally put the kids in critical spots during games earlier this season to give them experience they can build on -- but yeah, as we get closer to the finish line there's likely a mindshift in strategy to put the best suited players out according to the situation.

This most likely. Aside from maybe Nylander or JVR, Bozak is pretty much the worst forward in the defensive zone on the squad.
