He’s wrong often, but not here.

A couple of times last night I noticed AM taking his time getting back on D.

I think they burn themselves out in the first two periods. They start getting sloppy and make more mistakes.

They usually go thru a three game mini skid. Started on Saturday. At least got a point tonight. Been on quite a run previous to that. Go Leafs!

At least the team we gave points too last evening won't challenge our spot in the standings.

complacency.
plus andersen is one of the worst goalies in nhl on penalty shots, which shows as well on 1v1 breakouts.

watching the replay of the OT goal, I have no idea how a guy so big manages to leave so much of the net open. It was crazy how much Dadonov had to shoot at.

this thread is discussing it

https://twitter.com/Evolv...tatus/1361528984815730689

the last team to do such a thing was the 2010 cup winning Hawks (with such a high win prob)...so its a good thing that happned...thats the only conclusion

- senstroll


And in that thread, the 09-10 Blackhawks also won the cup. And the Caps also won when they did it, so basically we're winning the cup this year.

I don't understand how Galchenyuk fits. He has some very good offensive upside. Great shot, wicked release. But, he is very weak in all aspects of his defensive play. Not sure of how he plugs into the Leaf roster. Leafs already have a surplus of strong offensive skills. I would have thought a stronger defensive forward with some grit might have been more needed.
- spatso


He's a depth addition. Not much to analyze.

Lots of teams blow big leads. People just don't notice them because they aren't the leafs
- Aaron_85


Ya but this one was really bad.

Someone told me the betting odds of the leafs winning after they went up 5-1 were 4000/1.

I think we start the dismantling with Matthews, let the league know we mean business about this rebuild. I mean, the writings on the wall after that loss and our team plummeting to historical depths in the standings.

You start with Matthews, then Marner and leave JT and Nylander until the end. Rats, sinking ship, you get the drill.

He didn't care about defense at all a year or two ago. So yes it could happen. Your vision is about as good as Freddie's was tonight.

Keefe said the other day that part of Tavares and Nylander's offensive struggles is because they were working on some changes to their game to improve their defensive play. He also said that they scored more goals last year, but they also gave up way more and that they have made a gain in their net goals for vs against. That is with Freddie playing his pooptiest hockey to date. But what does Keefe know?

- jribout


From what I've seen Taveres is having to carry the entire line - Melander is a complete non-threat for anyone to defend.

What a refreshing perspective, thank you. Willy gets coddled around here.

I think Tavares has been awful and the problem on that line, not Nylander.

What the hell was the defense to do when Freddy kicked it 6 feet in the air right into the slot?
