I think this game has 4-4 and settled in OT written all over it.

No no no

YOU suck it.

It'll be a tough battle. It's a tough one, if we get the leafs on their heels right away we're good but I think if we just try to defend, we're done.

I have a theory as to why we haven't won at home yet...... It's the logo change. I think it's about time we take that big, ugly 'O' off of our center ice and put the face logo back. Or, better yet, let's put Karlsson's face at center ice. He is the face of the franchise.

Leafs D isn't that great. If the Sens can exploit that. It could be a barn burner for sure.

The leafs right now are kind of the definition of an offensive team. That's why I said if we just try to defend, we're done, but if we are aggressive and go after them early, we'll win

Do you not think that type of game would benefit the high octane offense of the leafs, more so than the Sens'?

i think you're wrong if you believe this Leafs team will just quit and fold if the sens come out hard and score early. they usually start on the slow side and get better as the game goes on. would have agreed if this was said two seasons ago.

the problem most teams have facing the Leafs is that all 4 lines are a threat to score each shift. obviously the 4th line less so than others but focusing on Matthews line all night, who is a near impossible to defend player himself, will leave the kadri and bozak lines to take advantage.

all that said i get the feeling the sens take tonights game.

I didn't mean that, what I meant was that you have to be aggressive because if there is one area the Leafs are lacking, it's defense.

So if leafs don't skate and tighten up their defense. .this could get ugly real fast!.sens can skate! .. and score on an equal opportunity ..and how is Andersons wife doing?. anyone know? ..and to me it seems weird ..and sad that Brian won't be looking down from the box watching the game 😢. .and what happened to Neal? ..retired. playing in.Europe? .and is he missed? ..so many questions 😂😃. .anyone? ..thanks!

Have to agree with you that if the sens put continued presure on the leafs D it could be a long night for the leafs, their defensemen are fast and mobile! But not the greatest at clearing the front of the net or along the boards at this early time....yet! Borgman is getting there! ..Karlsson really made me change my mind in that last playoff run..he's so dangerous with his vision of the game,he gets those pucks threw like ..threading a needle!😨

Man, B.Ryan really needs to get into broadcasting once his career is over. Not exactly your typical hockey player interviewee.

How do you guys watch this every game?

They're playing to their strength with the players they have, which is a defense-first system first. Take it from Sens fans, having a high-octane, high-scoring team doesn't outvalue sound team defense. The goal is to win.

We have full control and are exposing you with a poop ton of takeways leading to some sexy plays by Ryan, Stone, Brassard, Hoffman, Karlsson....

What more can we ask for? Maybe a Brown goal to top it off?

Glad we hung on

But yeah, we scored 6 goals... I was under the impression that’s above average offensive output, no?

The way they talk about us, you would think we score 1 and sit on our ass. But it really doesn't matter what they think.

WE GOT THAT DUBBBB!

Good game. Big character win. Im glad the leafs are a turnover machine. That is going to hurt them if they dont clean it up

Yessiree Bob! 😁

I’m always excited for the Dubskis. Last playoffs when we were legit trapping the hell out of the Pens, I was loving every second. Because (frank) it, if you’re emotionally invested, it’s exciting to see your team giving itself a chance to win night in and night out
