Islanders vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 21st, 7:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Good.   The whole team should stay back and get bag skated for this third period effort

It was 3-2 at one point....  Yep

[Guilt Trip]

I don't understand pulling the goalie down three like that.  No incentive not for the Islanders to just dump the puck like that

This team still doesn't know how to adjust to tight checking when a team is allowed to hold and interfere on the dump ins

I think it's also time to stop playing preseason with the lines.  So many mistakes and sloppy play.  Time to start getting back on track before the playoffs

Leafs started the 3rd with the lines back to normal and gave up 4 goals...1 an empty netter.

There really isn't anyone who really deserves accolades for this game

I think Matthews and Marner were fine. Bobby Mac was the only + player for the Leafs and got his first point.

[Highlander]

I take it this has been the proverbial defecation of the bed by Samsonov.  I've only seen the goals against this period.

He's not giving ye pick away but he's not good enough tonight. Even that last one he looked weak on.
Game 1 starter still up for grabs. Let's see what Murray does next game.

If he is not 100% then why wasn't Woll given the game
Insane

[dekedastardly]

It was over at 3-1, Sorokin was good. What an embarrassing outcome.

It's probably a sore elbow or something simple. If it was anything of a serious nature he wouldn't be playing and Woll wouldn't have been sent down to the Marlies. He just wasn't good enough tonoght. Sammy for whatever reason isn't good away from Scotiabank.

It was a game until the 4th goal.

Seeing his postgame I think his head wasn't 100% in the game.  He's thinking about his upcoming baby.  Give Murray the next two starts and call up Woll.  Let Ilya be with his wife

He's going home and Murray and Will will be the guys in the rest of the trip...his head def wasn't into this game.

That was the first Touchdown + Convert we've given up this season and largest loss differential (-5). Looked like everyone was already thinking about the trip to Florida.

Imagine, Kerfoot and Jarnkrok on the same line as Matthews, who would get the puck to Matthews, what genius thought this up.

Yep no idea wtf goes through Keefes head with some of his lineup decisions. 2 guys who should be 3rd line at best playing with arguably your best player.

Maybe, just maybe he's trying to figure out his 2-4th lines for the playoffs. I think we all know he can put together a pretty good 1st line.

[hobarth]

I think what we need is a dominant 1st line, a no more excuses 1st line that can and will be dominant in the playoffs. I think Matthews hasn't looked better this year and the idea that he does exceptional work only to have to pass to Jarkrok and Kerfoot is preposterous. Passing to and working with say Mitch and Willie makes way more sense to me. Keefe has never truly tried to establish a dominant line, he unites them late in games when needed rather than leaving them together and allowing them develop some kind of chemistry.
